My experience with Occupy Sussex and my run-in with the private security


Please note that this isn't one of my fictional short stories, this is true story. 

I wanted to visit Occupy Sussex to see what an occupation is about. There was a meeting today so my mum said we could go. But when we went to Bramber House, there were 4 security guards sitting around and when they saw me and my mum, they told my mum I can’t go inside. My mum told them I have been visiting the University of Sussex since I was 5 and I go everywhere with her, but they didn’t care. 

One of the guards was really horrible and rude and his name is Tony. He is very ugly. A nice girl came out of the occupation and said she will sit with me in the lounge if my mum wants to go to the meeting. Tony said I couldn’t stay in the lounge, I would have to go downstairs. It was really cold and I didn’t want to go downstairs, I wanted to go to the meeting with mum. 

Michael from the occupation came and talked to Tony, but he still said I can’t stay in the lounge. Mum was very, very angry at Tony and I thought she was going to punch him. She doesn’t like being told what to do. Tony kept saying the occupation is dangerous and when mum told him it’s only dangerous when security are inside, he didn’t like it. I was quite scared of Stupid Tony. 

Some nice people from the occupation came outside and argued with Tony and then my mum sneaked me inside. We later heard that the security guards were really annoyed. That was funny! It was nice in the occupation, I wasn’t scared in there and I got some sweets.
