STORYTIME...
ON THE 6, LIKE J-LO...AND IT WAS TIME TO GET OFF FOR MY TRANSFER TO ANOTHER SUBWAY LINE. THIS DUDE WHO WAS LOOKING AT ME GOT OFF THE SAME STOP AND SAID TO ME "EXCUSE ME, WHAT'S YOUR NATIONALITY?" AFTER I ANSWER HE SAYS "I JUST HAD TO FOLLOW YOU AND TELL YOU YOU'RE ONE OF THE TOP 3 FILIPINA'S EVER". I THOUGHT THE CHOICE OF WORDS WERE WRONG. FIRST OF ALL, HE SAID "FOLLOW" (AHEM, STALKING???), AND SECOND IF YOU'RE GONNA KICK GAME YOU DON'T TELL ME I'M "ONE OF THE TOP 3 EVER", YOU SHOULD TELL ME I'M THE VERY VERY TOP EVER (HAHA JUST KIDDING). IT WAS STRANGE COMING FROM A FILIPINO GUY BECAUSE IT'S SO UNLIKE THEM TO PULL SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO HE ASKED IF I HAD A MAN. I SAID YES WITH A SMILE AND PROCEEDED TO SAY HOW WONDERFUL HE IS AND HOW HAPPY I AM WITH THIM. HE WAS THEN QUICK TO SAY "YEAH ME TOO I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND". FINE WITH ME. THE DUDE FOLLOWED ME TO THE OTHER TRAIN AFTER TELLING ME THAT HE'S GOING OUT OF HIS WAY JUST TO TALK TO ME. I TOLD HIM TO GO ON AHEAD BUT HE DIDN'T. I WAS PRETTY ANNOYED BUT I HATE TO GET NASTY. WHAT WAS EVEN MORE ANNOYING WAS THAT HE TRIED TO BE SLICK BY GETTING OFF MY STOP. I SAID "UM, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" HE SAYS "OK NEVERMIND I WON'T WALK YOU, NICE TO MEET YOU, BYE". UGHHHHHH!!!!!!!! ANNOYING!!!
I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE END OF IT. IT TURNS OUT HE'S BEEN STALKING ME. I KNOW BECAUSE HE TOLD ME. THE SECOND TIME I SAW HIM IT WAS AT THE SAME SPOT ON THE TRAIN PLATFORM, SAME EXACT TIME. HE SAID THAT FROM THE TIME HE SAW ME 2 1/2 MONTHS BACK HE'S BEEN THINKING ABOUT ME. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH THIS PERSON? I MADE IT CLEAR THAT I ALREADY HAVE A MAN. IS IT BECAUSE HE'S FILIPINO TOO THAT HE THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY WITH ACTING THIS WAY AND SAYING THE THINGS HE'S SAYING? HE CAN GET IN TROUBLE FOR IT. HE'S BEING STRAIGHT UP DISRESPECTFUL WHILE HE SHOULD BE BACKING OFF. AFTER THE FOURTH TIME RUNNING INTO HIM AT THE SAME EXACT SPOT I KNEW I HAD TO START MAKING A DETOUR, AND I DID. IT'S LIKE FREAKIN HIGH SCHOOL ALL OVER AGAIN. I DECIDE TO WALK TO A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TRAIN STATION, WHICH I DIDN'T MIND BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT DOING IT ANYWAY.
I'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN EVADING HIM UNTIL TODAY. HE DIDN'T WAIT FOR ME AT THE STATION, HE WAITED FOR ME IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL!!! AS SOON AS I WALKED OUT THE BUILDING HE STOPPED ME AND HANDED ME A "JANE" MAGAZINE WITH ANGELINA JOLIE ON THE COVER (BECAUSE MY NAME IS JANE AND BECAUSE HE THINKS I LOOK LIKE HER), WITH A CARD INSIDE. HE WANTED TO WALK WITH ME BUT I SAID I'M IN A RUSH TO MEET MY MAN AT THE TRAIN STATION. SINCE I WAS ALREADY HOLDING THE MAGAZINE WITH THE CARD IN IT HE FREAKED OUT. "DON'T SHOW YOUR BOYFRIEND!!!" I STARTED LAUGHING. I SAID "WHY, BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANNA GET SMACKED?" I HANDED HIM BACK THE MAGAZINE, INSISTING THAT I SHOULDN'T TAKE THE CARD AND AT THE SAME TIME RUSHING TO WALK AWAY. HE RUSHED TO FOLLOW, INSISTING I JUST TAKE IT. I SAID "DUDE, PEACE OUT" AND THAT'S WHEN HE FINALLY WALKED AWAY.
NOW FOR THE FUNNY PART. WANNA KNOW WHAT THE CARD SAYS? IT HAS A STATUE OF AN ANGEL AND THE CAPTION SAYS: "THERE HAVE BEEN ANGELS IN MY LIFE...(AND THE INSIDE SAYS) ANGELS WHO SHOW UP WHEN A KIND WORD IS NEEDED. WHEN A SMILE OR AN ACT OF KINDNESS CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. YES THERE HAVE BEEN ANGELS IN MY LIFE, AND ONE OF THEM IS YOU."
HE WROTE A SOMEWHAT A LENGTHY NOTE BUT I WON'T EVEN BOTHER RE-TYPING IT. I CAN'T READ IT AGAIN WITHOUT GETTING SICK. IT'S SO MUSHY IT'S DISGUSTING. I DO HAVE TO INCLUDE THE "P.S." BECAUSE IT'S PROOF THAT HE'S A STALKER. HE SAYS "IT WAS A BIG REGRET LAST WED., TAKING THE E TRAIN BY MYSELF, AFTER SEEING YOU. WHY THE HELL I STOPPED HERE ON 51ST!!! IT WAS THE SADDEST COMMUTE EVER, I JUST PLAYED BALL TO GET OVER IT". UGHHHHHH!!! DOES HE EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT? AND HOW COULD HE HAVE SEEN ME IF I WAS IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STATION? IT MEANS HE HAD FOLLOWED ME FROM SCHOOL.
THAT'S IT. I'VE PRETTY MUCH TRIED TO GET MY MESSAGES ACROSS IN THE MOST SUBTLE WAY. HE'S HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH CHANCES TO READ THOSE MESSAGES AND BACK OFF LIKE A GENTLEMAN. I HATE TO GET NASTY, BUT IT'S TIME TO GET NASTY.
THE END.
