college life

It was the weekend before college finals and I was trying to decide how to spend my time. I had a friend living in L.A who I considered visiting. I was heading to get food on campus so I sent a text to my friend group asking if anyone wanted to join me. I realized afterwards that I sent the text to the wrong group. Instead I sent it to two boys I had previously met at a party. I was hurrying to respond and tell them that I sent it to them by mistake, but one of them replied they wanted to eat. So I decided to just eat with them. Auditions for a play were being held at the on campus dining hall, so I suggested we eat off campus. I made my way back to my dorm. Eventually I had to get on an elevator. It was very crowded, and a girl was holding the door for people who weren't even in the building yet. She kept telling me to just "chill out", and it made me angry. I kept asking if her friends were even in the building and she said she didn't know. She was petite, wearing a white jacket I think. When I was finally about to get off the elevator her friends finally arrived. Then I got extremely claustrophobic. The elevator was scary. The elevator kept messing up and stopping on the wrong floors. Finally I got nervous and just got off on the wrong floor. There were at least 50 stories in this dream building. I think I got off on floor 33. I was going to take the other elevator by myself. My phone kept messing up when I was trying to text. My boyfriend had been texting me, and he was getting irritated that I was not responding. I felt really chaotic at the moment, so I still didn't respond to him. I drove to a late meeting. I got out of my car and started walking after I parked and I passed one of my bosses. I told her my car was not good for driving. After the meeting I had to walk back to my dorm in my nightgown. It was about 8:15 pm. It was very dark and secluded outside. At first I felt relieved that it looked like I would actually get to go out to eat, but I sensed an eerie feeling. My phone finally died, but I wasn't worried because I was close to my dorm. As I was walking a car in front of me stopped and opened the passenger door. I knew they were offering me a ride since I was hitchhiking. I looked and the driver was a scary old woman, so I kept walking. The old woman got mad and started screaming at me that I was rude. Severs more cars drove past me, and the woman was still stopped in the middle of the road. She was screaming and getting angrier. When all the other cars were gone, I moved to the right side of the road. Then she screamed, "I was being nice to you, you bitch! You ungrateful little bitch!" I shot her the bird and screamed back, "fuck you!" She started driving towards me and screamed, "I'm gonna run you over, bitch!" She drove straight towards me. I considered running off the road and into the woods, but the dark woods did not look safe. So I just kept backing up off the road. She drove towards me, but eventually she drove off the road and down a hill and I jumped over her car.
