The cool crisp autumn air swept past me sending goosebumps up my legs. “It’s a pretty cold night.” I whispered to myself. The campus was quiet. It always was at two AM but that’s why I enjoyed it so much. I rollerbladed through the walkways and the empty buildings; thinking silently to myself. “I like the freedom of college but it’s so overwhelming managing myself. I mean I could eat dessert before dinner whenever I want to but I’d much rather someone who knows better schedule my classes. What if I do it wrong?” I gazed into the stars, these late night rollerblading trips always helped me to clear my head and focus in on the issues. I got up to head back to my dorm; I skated past building ten and heard the soft hum of music from one of the fraternity houses. “I wonder what’s going on there.” I spoke aloud. I decided that being a female and alone would be pretty risky and I opted to avoid the whole house and I gave it a wide girth. My pink polka dot dress billowed in the wind as I rolled past building after building. I always like the feeling of my dress being blown up when I had no one to worry about seeing me. I felt free to do as I wished. I moved into an alleyway between two buildings and thought about how smooth the floor was and how the little things in life really made it worth it. As I rounded the corner into the covered part I felt something make contact with my neck. It shoved me backwards and I landed on my back. I felt the hard concrete and all the air in my body leaving me. I gasped for air as two guys picked me up and threw me into the trunk of a blue mustang. I barely had time before the added blow of being so roughly manhandled made me lose consciousness. I blacked out.

I awoke with a jolt as the car stopped. I heard the engine shut off and two doors open. I quickly adjusted myself with my back on the floor and my feet up. If these guys were gonna take me then I was gonna give them a few bruises. The trunk opened and I kicked as hard as I could, straight into thin air. They had moved to the side of the vehicle. My legs were grabbed and I was dragged out of the trunk. “Okay look I know what you guys want and I mean couldn’t you have asked for it first? Like let me turn you down before you resort to kidnapping.” They both glared at me, and then continued on towards a house. I felt like I recognized it but I couldn’t exactly place where I had seen it before.
“Okay seriously this is hurting my back, can I just walk?”
“We don’t want you running off.”
“Look at me, I’m in rollerblades in deep grass, do you honestly think I’m gonna get far?”
They briefly glanced at each other and nodded, my legs fell to the ground and I slowly got up. I thanked them and walked between the two guys who had at least a foot on me. We walked up to the porch and I almost tripped on the stairs. They held me steady and walked me inside. The house had a distinct odor that didn’t smell like anything specific but was blatantly present. They looked at me and grabbed at my dress and started pulling.
“Hey! Hey wait a second. This dress was super expensive, you’re in charge here just ask, please. I’ll take it off for you.”
They took their hands off me and took a step back, watching me closely. I sat on the floor and undid the rollerblades first then; I took off my pink hello kitty socks. “Alright guys, we had a good run,” I whispered to my favorite pair of socks “But I’m gonna assume that this is the last time I see ya.” I stuck them in my rollerblades. Then I stood up and took off my pink dress and put it on top of the rollerblades. “Do you want my underwear too?” They both nodded. I sighed and took off my panties, my keys and phone falling from the waistband.
