That afternoon, I was walking back to my house after my American Literature class when I saw one terrifying sight.
There were dozens of women dressed in black shirts screaming, "FREE HUGS!!!!"

| Please respect my personal space and get away from me. |
I put my head down to avoid eye contact and hurried up my pace.
"You!!! Bring it on in! Come on! Get a free hug!" One of them barbarically shouted at me.
Oh no! They had spotted me!!!
I walked even faster, accidentally stepping in a huge puddle. My poor foot was soaked wet, but I couldn't stop now.
Then, I tripped and lost my shoe. I knew then that it was too late for me.
"Would you like a free hug?"
I looked up and sighed, "Sure."
The stranger hugged me, and then I walked in defeat to Starbuck's and bought myself an iced pumpkin spice latte to cheer up.

Hahahaha...you're hilarious! You should have just hugged them first and gotten it over with; like ripping off a band-aid :-)
ReplyDeleteNext time, pretend to be talking on the phone and crying hehehe
Aww! Did the hug make you feel good??? :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that sounds terrifying to me too! I may be Southern, but I am by no means a hugger like most Southern ladies. I cannot stand for a stranger to be in my personal bubble. You handled that way better than me!
ReplyDeletePoor Jenna- first the sample lady at the mall and then free hug girls at school - I hope the PSL made it worth it! :)
