The Sketchy Park Incident
About one hour ago, I was sitting in a park watching ducks in a pond and it had just started to get dark. This kid rode by me on a bicycle through the park and off around the bend. I was waiting for Gavin, to come down on a run so we could walk back home together. After a while, that same kid on the bicycle rode by me again and it reminded me of how I used to ride my bike in continuous circles around my neighborhood when I was younger. Another kid, who looked a lot like the one on the bike, strangely enough, walked past me into the grassy area behind me and was hanging out by a tree. That was when I realized that something kind of strange might be going on. I wasn't really that worried because there was an older couple on the bench about ten feet away from me and it was a pretty public area. Then, that kid on the bike rolls up again, but this time he stops in front of me and says something in Spanish. I ignore him, but he continues to ask me for cigarettes or something. I wasn't really paying attention because I figured he would go away. After he asked me again, I stood up to leave rather than waiting. I notice that his friend who had been hanging out at the tree behind me had started walking towards me right before that. I gave him a sharp look straight at the face, pulled out my cell phone to make a phone call and walked off at a brisk pace. THEY DIDN't get me this time suckazzz haha.
