One night ill never forget was when I was vacationing in the San Francisco bay area visiting my sister that lives there. Some of her more attractive friends were all planning an all-girls night out and somehow I ended up as the designated driver. They ended up going to Oakland and I had to literally stay in the car the entire time and make sure it didn't get stolen or vandalized in that part of the neighborhood. It was more fun than dangerous for them, but this was my way of paying her back for a favor she’d helped me out with some time ago. So I drive her and two of her friends to this bar/club in Oakland and stayed in the car listening to some of Ice Cube’s old music and daydreaming about a better life I could never have lived. And out of nowhere some guys came up to the car and knocked on my window and gestured me to roll it down. I stepped out of the car and closed the door behind me quickly and gently. I thought it was only a few but now I see that they’ve completely surrounded the car which must have seemed nice to them or something but it was a modest cheap one. As I stood out the car they started saying a whole lot of shit that made no sense to me so I grabbed the closest one by the collar and yelled at him “what do y’all want?” and most of them said loudly and defensively “chill homie” and before I knew it one of them had managed to get into the passenger seat and was looking through the glovebox as if they’d forgotten something in it. I quickly went to the passenger side and reached in and grabbed the skinny black boy and tossed him out and locked the doors quickly. As I did that and turned back around I noticed two of them now we're sitting in the driver seat and I quickly ran and dragged them out and then as I locked the door there were six of them in the back seats and I started freaking out. This went on until I called another person for help. I was like “come on bruh, help me!” It was a bigger black guy standing on the side of the building off the sidewalk and as I called him and asked for his help he got up and balled the peice of paper he had in his hand and somehow managed to scare them all with it and they all ran off, scattering into the night alleyways like some roaches.

I stood there lost for words and questioning just what the hell just happened and they guy struggled it oof like it was just something that happens often around there. as I turned about back to the car I noticed this big light-skinned black guy who started the car with a pair of nail clippers. I asked him to “please get the fuck out!” and he told me to ask kindly, and I said “I just did” and so he got out and I undid what he’d done and put the panels underneath the steering wheel back together as if nothing had happened.

Her friends came out and with another girl, so I asked them whose theyre sexy new friend in all white before I even got to approach her my sister responded with “She’s not your type.” I said “you know you’re lucky I was here cause there were all kinds of dudes that were trying to rob me and would have raped y’all and stole this car too.” then her new friend in the all-white smiled at me and kissed me on the cheek and said softly to the rest of them “he’s kind of cute.”
