Well I was on the bus going to school and this guy sat diagonally from me. He typed something in his phone and gestured for me to look at it. I was confused at first but I eventually looked. He was asking me my name. So I humored him, what could happen we were on a bus going to school, and told him my name.
He told me his and soon it got to the point where he asked to sit with me. I didn’t mind because I wanted to get along with my new friend. He asked me if I would go out with him, I politely declined. But this guy was so persistent.
When I would type in his phone he would run his hands over my thighs, getting closer and closer to my no zone. I kept pushing his hand away but other than that I didn’t know what to do.
When I told him to stop he said that as his girlfriend he can do whatever he wants to me. He touched me in my no zone. The entire time he would call me beautiful and amazing, the best girl he’s ever seen. Another thing he told me was that my pussy was so fat he’d died and gone to heaven. He didn’t stop until I threatened to scream and hurt him….but even then it was only because other people got on.
Days later he tried to apologize and make sure we were going out. I had to try and make him understand that it would never happen. I felt helpless…and even though I did Tae Kwon Do, I did know what to do. I was so scared that he’d try worse the next time I saw him. It took awhile before I even let my male friends and family even hug me….not that they noticed. I still don’t like it if anyone calls me beautiful or amazing, though they are nice compliments. They just take me back that time on the school bus.
