Started off the day waking up at 6 am to get ready for zero period, AP Biology. I expected a quiz or an exam of some sort because AP classes tend to follow a trend of giving exams on Fridays. I studied a little before going to school, but once I reached class, we were presented with a food coloring lab that consisted of soap and milk. The day went by slowly: talking with Ms. Castro about technical difficulties, involving Schoolloop, taking a calculus test, checking out a book, giving a government presentation, finishing my coat of arms, finishing my homework, and drawing a picture of Nakamura. It was a rather eventful school day.
Today was also the first home football game, so I attended it with a few friends. Our Junior Varisty were getting the destroyed by the visiting team in the fourth quarter by the time we reached Thompson Field. The game ended quickly and the one hour intermission began. Damien, Raymond, Viet-Thai, and I wanted to get some food at 7-Eleven. So we started walking down that one street that’s along the industrial side of Alameda. Half-way there, we decide to go to Taco Bell instead. As we pass the block of 7-Eleven, we are approached by an elderly woman. Equipped with loose pink pajamas, black teeth, and the reek of alcohol, she asks us to take her to 7-Eleven. I, being a nice person, try to give her directions to 7-Eleven, but she reiterates her question by asking us to escort her to the store. I reflexively say sure, and we start walking. With an extremely tense and awkward air, we walk extremely quietly. She asks us peculiar questions, and seems afraid of something. She keeps her purse secured with her left hand and keeps her right hand inside her bag. All of us were extremely paranoid and tense about this situation. When we walk too slow, she stops in the middle of the sidewalk and waits for someone to pass her. As we’re walking, she periodically says “thank you”. As we cross the street, she grabbed my jacket sleeve, and I immediately jerk forward. As she tried to break the ice, she tried to loop her arm around Raymond’s. Raymond immediately responds by attaching his arm to his side. When we reach 7-Eleven, she asks us to stay and escort her back home. Viet-Thai says sure. As soon as she’s out of sight, I haul my ass out of there. I ran and didn’t stop for two blocks. We eventually got to Taco Bell.
During the Varsity football game, there were numerous lightning strikes. A fight between two guys started near the end zone as well. Unfortunately, the Varsity team lost, but it was a good game.

The elderly lady scene...
ReplyDeleteA bit strange for some reason. Why would Viet-Thai agree to wait and escort her back home?
