Sie geht auf das Mädchen zu.
Als ich mich näherte, bemerkte ich zwei Männer, die mir etwas zuriefen, was ich nicht verstand. Ihre Aufmerksamkeit machte mich unruhig, doch ich versuchte mich selbst zu beruhigen. Sicher meinten sie jemand anderen. Als sie dann aber direkt auf mich zugingen und ,Hey Lady‘ riefen, merkte ich, dass tatsächlich ich mit ihren Rufen gemeint war.
