okay so just now I am walking into the book store to get food. Since I get no service in the newspaper room at school I am checking a few texts on my way over... so I am in la la land and I see these two tall boys, who are dressed a little hoody, walking to the door too.. and one of them says something and opens the door. I say thank you and keep going...
that's when things became weird...
he very angrily stomped his foot on the ground and said... GIRL I AIN'T TYRING TO HOLLA AT YOU I WAS JUST ASKING WHERE I CAN GET SOME CIGS!?!
I told him sorry because I did not know he was talking to me, I mean honestly you see two people together, you think they are talking together. I do at least! Oh by the way I dont know where they sell cigs at school so i was the wrong person to ask.
I mean honestly I do not think I am in some bad Gwen Staffini Video. I do not want people to "holla" at me. In fact I hate it! It makes me feel cheap and little when guys say stuff when I walk by.
But that whole line he said has got me to think about how it feels to be a guy. Living in Miami I hate walking to most places because guys will ALWAYS say things when you walk by. I honestly expect it now. Thus I always ignore them. But I never thought about it from their point of view...
like for the good guys who just want to ask for the time without any bad intentions. The one who really wants to know where to best place to get coffee is and the one who honestly wants to tell you that you look cute. It has to be harder to be a guy these days because girls now think whatever guys say to us walking by is a pick up line.
really sad right!
It must be hard, because my honest mistake is the result of years of comments being shouted at me as I walk by. My lesson... listen more when walking. 
(i guess i ain't no hollah back girl?)
