So this dude starts trying to hit on me in probably the most offensive way possible. He starts going on about how “He likes kids” and “single women with children are sexy as long as the baby daddy is not there”, or my favorite “Its ok to make mistakes and be a slut sometimes”. Then he starts saying that if I lost weight, I would look like some Anime character and he was totally into that character. He was also willing to “Over look my flaws if I got them fixed eventually”. I am not joking, it was so awkward, and he kept glancing at Kyle, who was completely oblivious to what was going on. I tell this guy that I am uncomfortable and he needs to go away (I was very polite) but after he blatantly ignored my request, I go into super Auntie mode and tell Kyle we have to go. I grab Kyle and start to head out of the store. I pull out my phone to call DJ and tell him to meet by the security office in the mall, hoping to scare this guy off. Before I can do that, this guy then runs up to me and asks for my number. I tell him no, and he grabs my phone, claiming “I should at least have his number”. We are at the entrance of the store when I see DJ about 30 feet away, coming up the escalator. The only think I could think about was this guy trying to hurt Kyle (He never really acknowledge him but super Auntie mode is a step down from Mommy mode). I tell Kyle to run to his father, and at this point Kyle understands what is going on and runs. This guy starts trying to fiddle with my phone, asking me to unlock it for him. I turn to him, and make an attempt to get my phone back. This guy is much taller than I and laughs as he just holds it over my head. He then starts calling me cute and telling me we will be a great couple. So I grab his arm, the one with my phone in his hand and easily force it down to my level, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t lift his arm again. This guy was weak , and at this point he realized how strong I was. I grab my phone from his hand, and give him the iciest glare I can muster.  I tell him to leave me alone and begin to walk away. I go to DJ (who is a large, very muscular, very fit man), and walk away with him and Kyle. This is not the end of my story! I walk to the parking lot and DJ says he has to go but is afraid to leave me alone. I assure him I am ok, and he walks off, telling me to call him if anything happens. As I walk to my car, guess who shows up ranting about how I “embarrassed him in front of his friends”? Creepy dude then decided I had “No idea what was good for me” and I needed to be “shown”. He grabs me , (it looked like he was going to kiss me but I can’t be entirely sure) and before I can even think I have this guy on the ground with a swift punch to the gut. I scream bloody murder, and a few nearby security guards rush over. I tell them what happened and this kid gets handcuffed. He starts going off about how I am a lying whore and all that junk. They got the statement of the shop owner, who saw him earlier and they told me they would call me if anything happened. This was about a week or so ago and I haven’t heard anything yet but they are filing this as a sexual assault case. DJ felt super bad for leaving me alone (to which I assured him I handled it) and Kyle lent me his minecraft foam sword in case it happens again.

This next event involves a lot of detail skipping but to put it simply, I broke up with my abuser and Neko was actually nice enough to ask for my side since she heard my abuser’s side. I told her and i thought that she might believe me and hopefully take my side and- nope. She did worse than take my abuser’s side, she tried playing neutral. At this time I was in a black and white/red vs blue mindset. You were either with me, against me, or didn’t know the situation. This chick tried claiming purple, which didn’t exist. She went from slightly annoying, to me nearly hating her so quickly because she wanted to be friends with both of us. She even invited all my friends to her birthday party and she didn’t invite me because she was inviting my abuser. She invited kitty, my abuser’s ex girlfriend… but not me. It’s childish I know, but she invited everyone I knew. I had no clue what was going in because she thought it would be a great idea to invite all my friends who barely know her/hate my abuser. Genius.

I was on edge with her. I couldn’t stand her animu talk. I couldn’t stand seeing her hot topic™ black Butler side bag. I couldn’t stand seeing her dollar store cat ears. I couldn’t stand her. She took the side of my abuser around the time, I wasn’t going to tolerate her… and yet she decided to still act like we were chummy mc pals.

Yup. She made me so upset and she decided to stay friends with someone that hurt me… but she still tried to be chums with me.

Yeah. No.

Last year she wouldn’t stop sitting at our lunch tables and trying to be friendly with me. At the end of freshman year she was still super touchy to me and she still tried to text me. She still said hi and she still approached me even after I made it obvious that I don’t like her (I have the natural death glare, so all I did to drop the hints was look at her emotionless and it looked like I was ready to kill.) And yet she didn’t back off until after winter break.

She started sitting with the other anime fans. One of the kids she sat with is a beautiful human being who I knew in German class, the other believed fat shaming wasn’t real (and argued my naturally big boned friend about it) and has a fucking sword art online bag.
