So much for some extra study...
Self defense didn't help one bit.
I almost got my bag snatched today. By a girl a couple of years younger than me, who punched me in the chin when I refused to let go.
Funny, how throughout all that struggling, I didn't think once to yell out "Help me! This girl is trying to take my bag!". Apparently, everyone who saw just thought we were just arguing, that's why they didn't come help.
I didn't let go. I think it shocked her when I still didn't let go after she punched me. She asked for my phone, and I said no, then she asked for my ipod and I said no (and wonder how she saw it, because I hadn't taken it out of my bag.)
She didn't let go. I asked her "What do you want? Do you want money?", and she said "Yes, give me money."
I gave her the first note I grabbed, which was a $10 dollar note, and then she ran.
I had dropped my textbooks. I didn't remember dropping them, so I picked them up, and all the mothers who came to pick up their kids and saw what happened ran up and asked me what had happened. One was already called the police, and I was fumbling for my phone to called my dad. They was all asking why I didn't yell for help, but I didn't realise I hadn't until that had been pointed out to me. Al these mothers waited with me for my dad, I was shaking so badly, and I was crying on and off.
Dad came, finally. He took me home, and the police came and I told him what happened. He took my bag for fingerprinting or DNA (which amused my sister greatly), and they'll be taking my statement on Thursday.
It's absurd. You just don't think about something like this happening. What? Was this karma for skipping last period to try and get extra study done for tomorrow? It didn't even help. I got home later than usual.
Fuck. I can't even concentrate now.
