Rough Day: They Threw Rocks at Me

Hi everyone!

Today I had a pretty rough day and yes, some kids did throw rocks at me. However, its only polite to start a story at the very beginning.  So here's what happened:

I went for my morning run to the bus stop and on the way, I see two unattended dogs on both sides of the street. On my sidewalk, there is a rather husky dog and on the other side, there is an irritable Chihuahua. I have been attacked by dogs before and I know from past experiences that it’s easier to outrun the tiny dog, HOWEVER, one should never run first. If you run first, it excites the dogs which is why they start to follow suit. So I risk it with the Chihuahua and make it to my stop in 6 minutes. I ride the bus to school and find out I didn't place in Literary Fair. I also find out that two people were allowed to take the SATs way after I arrived the other day. As the day drags on, I get a text from a friend saying "Your boyfriend is looking for you". I am confused for two reasons: 1) I don't have a boyfriend and 2) the individual to whom my friend is referring is more likely to text me than do a manhunt type search. A few minutes later, another friend comes to find me to tell me the events of her class. So apparently my "boyfriend" (we will call him Subway guy for now) was walking around near that class. The professor becomes a little alarmed and warns the students that there is an "attractive, black, tall” college student outside the room. Somebody asks "Is he wearing a tank top?" and the facilitator replies "Yes". That same person says "Oh, I know him. That's Camille's friend". Someone else chimes in “Oh I know that guy! He works at Subway.” And the professor blurts out “Oh, that’s Subway guy? Camille wrote the cutest poem called Ode to Subway Guy for Literary Fair.” When I found out, I was a little embarrassed because I like to keep somethings to myself, but at that point, 怎么办 (what to do)？


So I see the friend whom sent me the “Your boyfriend is looking for you” text after school; he and his friend are conversing about crop tops. I happen to be wearing a crop top and my friend turns to me and says “…some girls wear crop tops to allure Subway guy. He’s probably distracted and doesn’t even see your face…” I can’t even relay all that he said because I was so shocked that all of this came out of the mouth of a seemingly shy person whom I used to have a crush on. I just kind of laughed and stared at him until he finished his rant on the sins he thinks I have committed with my nonexistent “boyfriend”. After that interesting encounter, I’m riding the bus home and I see a group of kids bunched up with mischievous faces. They wait for the bus to drive past and they start throwing rocks at the bus. Literally, they went in the pot holes in the road and started pelting the bus with white rocks. One hit my window and as soon as the bus driver stopped the bus, those heathens took off running. Dog attacks, rock pelting, and a hint of embarrassment. That was my day… how was yours?


P.S. I became really happy when I finally got home and checked my blog because Camy’s Corner has been seen in 40 countries!!!! That’s amazing <3 And as always, feel free to read, share, and comment on my posts. Thank you for all the support and international love <3333
