I was waiting at my bus stop listening to music on my iPod when a man approached me. I heard him telling me I looked good, but I continued to listen to my music and wait for my bus. He grabbed me and kissed my cheek and told me I was coming home with him. I told him no and looked around as others waiting at the bus stop watched what was happening.
He grabbed me again and I told him no again and to stop and looked at everyone watching, hoping someone would step in but nobody did. One man looked like he was going to say something but he just looked at the ground and pretended he didn’t see what was happening.
I felt scared and I wasn’t sure what this man was going to do next. He kept yelling at me and finally my bus arrived and I ran onto it. I never waited at that bus stop again after that day.
