Reverse-cat-calling

It was finals week and I had spent the whole day studying for my history exam. I hadn’t showered, my hair was a bit raggedy, but I really wanted to go out to get something to eat and bring it back to my dorm room. I ended up buying McDonald’s, which was down the street from my dorm, and on my way back I heard this loud booming car zip out of the parking lot. Across the street was this dainty girl in a sun dress of sorts just minding her own business. The obnoxious car then pulled out of the lot and rolled down the window. Two guys were in the front seats and one of them looked over at her and yelled “Damn, you gorgeous, girl!” She glanced back, scoffs, and then turns back around. But then the two guys drive past me, apparently disgusted with me in my PJs and un-showered, raggedy hair, and yelled “Damn, you NOT gorgeous!” The two of them laugh and zip away, leaving a stressed out, bedhead-looking girl feeling like the scum of the earth.
