Before by Amy Graves

All of sudden, I realized he was getting closer to me, very slowly. (Let me say here that by no means was I dropping hints of interest towards him, I was being loud and obnoxious the entire time.) Apparently, to him loud and obnoxious meant flirting because his entire arm went around me and I was completely uncomfortable.

I began to rack my brain for ways to get out of his hold without being rude and making it more uncomfortable. Luckily, he bought me Twizzlers and after racking my brain for a way out, I realized I dropped them on the ground! YES! This was my out! So, I sat up a little and started looking under my seat with my phone which served as a flashlight. When I sat back up, his arm was back to his side and I was free! I then put my purse in my lap, sat back, put my legs up and started eating my Twizzlers.

After

Without any indication on my part that I wanted more than a platonic relationship, he took advantage of my excitement in the game and distraction of his placement as compared to my own. I was so wrapped up in the game and participating in the spirit of the field that I was unaware of his advances until it was too late. His arm was wrapped around me and held me in a trap like hunters set up for their pray without a chance to escape. Then almost as suddenly, I had an idea in which I utilized the resources around and searched for any random object by my feet so I would wriggle out of his grasp. Then I saw it, the sweet salvation of Twizzlers that gave my movement purpose and direction on how to remain out of his arms.
