I left home in 2009 to attend Arizona State University in Phoenix. My roommate at the dormitory is quite the social butterfly. She had too many people dropping in all the time. She was probably the reason I wanted to buy pepper spray in the first place.
There were always people asking for her and I had no idea who they were. They were coming and knocking on the door around the clock. I got worried because I have some valuable things in the dorm room and sometimes she would just leave the door unlocked.
I never kept my intention to buy pepper spray from her. She was all for it. We went to the library and browsed self defense stores. The numerous choices were exciting.
I found pepper foam and pepper gel, guns and batons that dispense whatever pepper substance, camouflage containers like lipstick, pager, pen, ring. I chose to buy pepper spray in its classic form since that was my first time.
I could help but go back online the next day and buy a pepper spray lipstick for my roommate for her birthday, it was going to be a surprise. I also got myself a pepper spray ring that I told no one about so it would be my little secret.
I came home one night to my roommate and the guy she was dating in a fight. All of a sudden he hit her!
I had to do something since he was in my room, even though it was none of my business. I quickly got my pepper spray and sprayed him in the eyes. He started to tear up on the spot.
We had to help him out of the room but he was never back again. I have seen him around campus but he knows he is not welcome back to our room again.
