Today, I was walking home from school because both of my parents were at work and my brother was at home. I rarely do this, but I didn't want to take the bus because if I do, it takes literally Forever to get home.
But anyways, I was walking and was talking on my cell and some guy stopped me and said excuse me. I told the person I was talking to that I would call them back, and he looked at my phone (which I thought was kind of odd). He started speaking in Spanglish, like a little Spanish here and there, but mostly English; very broken. He asked me do you speak Espanol un poquito "a little spanish" and I said No.
He said that his family had just come from Mexico and moved here today and said something about his wife and brother living at their home and asked me for a donation of 50 cents or a dollar. I said "Oh I am so sorry but no, I don't" and he looked down near my shoulder backpack like he was gonna rob me or something. And then he shook my hand. I just walked away.
It was like I trusted him, but then I didn't. I thought to myself as he was talking to me, "what if he takes me and pulls me into a car, then what?" I was on my guard looking for any suspicious surrounding activity but didn't turn my head once so that I could keep my eye on this guy in case he did anything stupid..
What is you're take on what he wanted to do? Bus is safer?
