“I wished I could become instantly invisible”

I was walking home from school and suddenly I hear a strange noise. I look to the right and I see a man shaking/rattling with his keys to get my attention. I keep walking and then I hear him whistling on me so I automatically turn my head around again. Then he screams, “Your ass” and smiles at me.

In the moment, I just wished I could become instantly invisible or something. It’s so degrading, and it’s disgusting to think that some strange man is having sexual/perverted thoughts about me, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. I have never ever in my life been so ashamed of my body and who I am. I feel horrible and disgusting.
