Chakram Reborn: Blogs From A Millenial Bard

When Eyes Reunite

My life changed earlier today! Today I was almost gang-raped! March 27th is a day I'll never forget. I was cutting through the gym like I always do to get to my dorm room across from the campus when three jerks from the baseball team cornered me. All I wanted to do is get to my place and then go have lunch before my afternoon classes, but these assholes had other ideas. The ringleader, who is the star pitcher for our baseball team, shoved me underneath a stairwell and started to kiss me. His lips snank into my neck as he tried to unbutton my shirt. His nasty kisses felted awful as he ripped open my denum shit revealing my white tank top. I tried to push him away, but all I seen was the other two jackasses cheering him on. I knew I could take him on, I wanted to start fighting him and something in me wanted to start beating on the guy, but fear kicked in. The creep then pushed me to the ground, my books scattered everywhere and my glasses flew to the ground. The three guys wanted to have there way with me. I thought "Oh my God! I need a hero right now!" 

Then something happened that changed my life forever! Just when the ringleader was about to force himself on me, he was yanked back and thrown into the other stairwell leading to the women's gymnasium. I then glanced up and seen all three guys just get wasted by a very tall, athletic woman. My eyes widened as she took all three guys on with ease, even breaking the ringleader's nose! Her fighting skills were like nothing I had ever seen. It was like she was a warrior of sorts. I thought to myself, "Was she one of these MMA fighters!?!" I then watched as this amazing woman flawlessly kicked two of the guys at once and slammed the ringleaders head into a locker breaking his nose even more! After the incident was over, she screamed at the guys to leave, and after getting their asses kicked, they all ran out of the gym in fear. She then walked over to me, kneeled down, and asked if I was ok. I quickly picked up my books and glasses, put them on, I looked at her, and it was then I felt something, like a connection between us. Then for a brief moment, I could see it in her eyes also.

My heart rose a bit. Even though we never met, our eyes told each other a different story. She's, she's beautiful, like a goddess, but also a warrior. I had to get my emotions in check. So after she helped me up and helped me up we introduced ourselves. She said her name was Jessie, not the name I would have thought of, but whatever. She looks like one of those Amazon women from Ancient times. Strong but beautiful. And even though she fought those assholes with ease, she carries herself as if she was royalty of some kind. I was drawn, no, captivated by her.

I wanted to get to know her, so I convinced her to come to lunch with me, my treat. What I didn't realize was she drives an awesome Harley!! A Harley!! That was the first time I was ever on a bike, but when I hopped on and wrapped my arms around her waist, it felt so familiar, so comforting in a way. When we got to Di's cafe, I introduced her to Di  and then we sat down and started talking. I thanked her yet again and told her that I owed her big time for stepping in saving me the way she did. She kept saying no, she just wanted me to be safe. Then what happened finally started to sink in and my hands started to shake. She held my hands and calmly talked to me with a genuine, caring voice, reassuring me that everything was going to be ok. It was then she offered to teach me how to fight! Me, geeky Abigail Covington, a Archology major, how to fight! I said yes right away! I know deep inside me I can fight! I can feel it! Who better to train me than the woman who saved me!

After lunch she drove me back to campus. I got off the bike and she reminded me to show up at the woman's gym after my morning classes. We then looked  at each other and smiled, she told me goodbye and drove out of the campus. As I watched her drive off out of campus, some sort of a connection came across me. All I know is that where ever this new friendship takes me, I'm there! Yes! I am so there! For even though we just met, our eyes reunited!
