Followed by a Ford Focus

Ok, so third period. Online. FLVS. Do you do your work or do you put it off and talk about what creepy people do for fun? Obviously, we all choose the latter, except for some students who would much rather just get their work done fast. I am not one of those students, and while I am done with my classes now, I often neglected them during school hours.

Josh Adkins is in m third period class. As it was mentioned in an earlier post, Josh is a mess. Josh likes to do things that would make normal people would think, "Why on earth would I do that to another human being?" One day in third period, we were talking about one such thing. Josh randomly starts talking about how much fun it is to get in your car late at night, and follow someone on the street to make them nervous that they are being stalked, hunted to be murdered, etc. Now, I thought, "Ok, you are a sick dude." Then he proceeded to tell the class about a time when he got in his car with some friends and followed a guy through a neighborhood. Real creepy, right? I mean, if I was driving through my neighborhood, and someone was following me, I would get pretty paranoid. I mean, I'm paranoid to begin with, but being followed would heighten my paranoia.

We're all listening to this story, when all of a sudden, Nate chimes in with a story of his own. He starts talking about one time when he was driving home and perceived that he was being followed by the car behind him. Now, I know that we all, at some point in time, have had a car driving along behind us. In fact, it's pretty common. Most of the time, you're thinking, "Yeah, there's a car behind me. NBD." But there are some moments when you look back, and you think, "This car is not driving...it is stalking." It's just a feeling you get. I don't really know how you know, you just know that the car behind you is not behind you for normal purposes. When this happens, you are suddenly overcome with various different emotions. I don't know exactly how to explain it, but luckily, Nate did.

Whilst telling his story about being followed, he revealed that he had planned to have this car follow him to a certain place where he would stop and wreak havoc on the guy who dared to follow him.

He explained how he was feeling and what he would do so well that we all knew it would instantly be a wall worthy quote.

"Like anger and excitement. I'm gonna catch this guy following me, and pull him out of his little Ford Focus. It's gonna end badly for him."

Now, of course, this didn't happen because, as you can probably guess, the little Ford Focus wasn't actually following him. The quote however, does embody how people often feel when they are 6' 4'' and could easily beat someone up. Whether you would react this way in a situation or not, the quote is hilarious, and Josh Adkins is one twisted kid.
