I went skateboarding at the local elementary school today because the weather was so good. When I was walking back home (my legs were too tired to skate), two guys dressed exactly alike in Timb's, jeans and camo jackets were walking on the other side of the road; a skinny dude and a fat guy. They looked to be in their mid 20's, probable gang members since Bridgeport CT was a town over. Keep in mind, I'm only 14 (turning 15 in 2 weeks), but I look like an adult, and I live in wealthy town. They started calling out skateboarding terms and making weird sounds. I didn't pay any mind to them. When they saw they couldn't faze me, they took some large pinecones and started banging them on the trees around them while they were walking. I still didn't say or do anything. They then began making barking and growling sounds. As I approached the intersection, they crossed the road and began walking about 10 yards behind me. My heart started beating fast and I was getting nervous as they were following me. There was no-one around. Suddenly, several cars came towards us and a dude was walking his dog down the sidewalk. I seized my opportunity and jumped on my board and across the road at the intersection and all the way to my house. They couldn't cross or see where I was going because of the cars that were passing. When I got home, I jumped into my chair as my heart was beating a mile a minute.
Cliffnotes:
Coming back from skateboarding at a school
Was followed by sketchy guys along main road
Was freaking out as they were approaching me
Broke off and ran (skated) for my life.
Has anyone else had any similar experiences as a kid or recently?
