When I was...

16 Hey!

When I was eight, I went one on one with the biggest, tallest, and dumbest, kid in school, Jason Richardson. It was the first day of school and everything was going great until this gigantic kid with a deep voice and a slight mustache walked in. I had a sense it wasn’t going to go right with this kid. That day, he was assigned Line Leader and me Door Holder which meant that I would have to sniff his butt for a whole week since Door Holders have to walk behind Line Leaders. So, I held the huge brown classroom door and watched as everyone passed by. When we got to the cafeteria, I held the blue door and once again watched as the class went by. I started to think, “This isn’t so bad. I don’t have to sniff his butt for too long”. When we returned from lunch, this big freak-show tried to hold the classroom door like it was his job. In a split second, I pushed him with all my might. He sent me flying into the girl behind me. I got back up and swung at him, but the teacher grabbed me and stopped the whole fight. She told the class to go in the classroom. Gigantor and I stayed out as she gave us the You Shouldn’t Fight speech. She made us say sorry, but I didn’t mean it. Do you believe the teacher made us stand in different corners of the classroom for the rest of the day? When I got home that day, my mom asked how was the first day of school. I said, “Great”, and it was because Big Foot never messed with me again. Autum
