I first heard about this story back in the late 90's. The story varies, but the general consensus is that it happened to a female student as she took a ride home in a jeepney one week night in a well-known and large university in Quezon City. For those of you who are not familiar, the jeepney is a very common means of public transportation in the Philippines. They usually can accommodate around 16-20 passengers. You can say it's a mini-bus of sorts, plying routes where larger public mass transport systems can or do not ply their routes - usually smaller city roads and the provinces. This is a short version of the story in my own words, told in both English and Tagalog separately. If you liked this story, please feel free to vote for the particular chapter/s you do like!

All characters and events in this story are completely fictional. If anything seems familiar it is completely coincidental. All situations in this story come completely from my imagination. ________________ "And you need to stop calling me 'shawty', I'm not your girl so stop pushing the issue, I don't want to be just another name in your little black book." I said sounding more appalled than I could ever really be. He started walking closer to me and before I knew it, he had my back against the wall and my left leg wrapped around his waist. The look that he gave made him look so powerful that I couldn't help but be intimidated and turned on at the same time. "Look mami I don't think you really hearin' me so let me break this shit down to you real brief. Imma be around for the time bein' whether you want to be or not, I'm not goin' no where. Just let me have one chance." "Prove it." ________________
