Great Way To Start The New Year

Ah, I love the feeling of a New Year. A time to start fresh, experience new things, and be a better person than you were last year. Not only that, this is my last year in school and then I'm off to college. I decided to delete all of my old blogs and start fresh, and really start writing in this thing.

Sadly, there are only 3 days left until Christmas Break is over and I have to go back to those days of 4 classes a day, 650AM til 3PM. And most of the time, I stay later than 3; usually til around 5-7 because I'm so busy working on the school newspaper or yearbook stuff. Anyways, enough about school.

The other day I went to Best Buy with my father and sister. My dad went to go use the restroom while my sister was hooked on the Apple computers they had for show. I decided to go look at cameras, and notice a boy no older than sixteen, walk up to me. He looked at me and said "hi". Thinking that he was just some person being nice and saying hello, I said "hello, how are you?" and he replied "good" and walked passed me. I thought it was really odd .. and turned around to look at right when I turned around, he turned around too. Note: this person wasn't good looking whatsoever. Anyways, I kept on looking at the cameras minding my own business, and when I looked up I saw him looking at me at the next aisle and motioned me to come over.

Uhh..Excuse me ?! I got kind of weirded out and walked away over to my sister and quietly yet strongly urged her that we should leave and meet up with Dad because it was time to go. Rudely, she ignored what I said while her eyes were glued on the screen. -__- So I walked over to another aisle and then noticed that the damn kid was FOLLOWING me ! Everytime I looked up and spotted him, he was already looking at me and motioned me to come over.

I got freaked out and started to head across the other side of the store. As I'm trying to keep my cool but at the same time run away from some stalker, I see his beanie headed towards my way. And I'm thinking 'oh shit he's following me what the fuck do i do? do i scream? do i go up to him and ask him why the hell is he following me?' I pretended to look at the plasma t.vs but was ready to start screaming once he came up to me. After 2 minutes nothing happened, and I slightly turned to the right to see him standing behind stacked boxes looking at me.

I was terrified and I felt unsafe. but thankfully, my dad came up and asked if I was ready to go. I quickly replied YES! grabbed his arm and pulled my sister away from the Apple laptops and walked out the door.

Next time I head up to Oakland, I'm going to make sure I buy myself some pepper spray first.
