Slowly and Surly....
I always went to the track meets at school.
You know, those things where they make you run and throw and jump all day because they can count it off as a field trip?
Well I've had it.
I went to every single one of those goddamn things, from grade 4-8, and hated it every time, but kept coming back.
You're probably thinking. "So what! Its excersize, suck it up." But thats the thing; I did, I put up with it four years straight, while all of my friends would just call in sick or hide or go to the mall all day.
And then there was the time I got suspended for hitting a kid with a shot-put ball.
I'd been working my ass off (literally, gotta shed those carbs.) ALL DAY, when this rich litttle prick started shouting obscenities.
And, like many times before, I took it.
That day hadn't been altogether good, typically, I came in 2nd last at the 100 metre dash, didn't even show up for the 1500, which I'd signed up for out of spite, and had gotten very, VERY little sleep the nigt previous.
So I just ignored this guy, when I had to do high-jump he harassed me there, and just about everything up until shot put had been fine.
But he made a really big mistake messing with my only good event.
I had catapulted the spherical dumbell a fair distance, or at least, thought I had, because in actuality, I hadn't, somehow a shoe had jostled it away midair, and it landed half as far as it should've.
The same guy who had been giving me shit was measuring shots, and, no surprise, he had thrown the shoe.
The event supervisor ( a fancy term for a parent volunteer with no job) didn't see it, they had been talking to their child about expanding his score.
The asshole who threw the shoe was on the ground, laughing his ass off, so I just kinda twitched a bit.
Maybe for theatrics, but proabably because I was FUCKING PISSED OFF.
I stormed onto the pitch, picked up the shot-put ball, and nailed him in the leg as he stood up.
A bunch of people came running, but not before I got a satisfying crack out of his teeth, chipping one and knocking one so loose he needed to have it removed.
Too bad it was a baby tooth, I wouldve liked to see the douchebag try to pick up girls while looking like an extra from Rawhide.
I had to sit out the rest of the day (Roughly half an hour) and the kid got taken to the emergency room for a possible fractured skull, which was bullshit.
I was to miss two weeks of school because of that stint, and the kid was heralded as a victim.
Apparently some pals of mine heard about how he'd been such a cock earlier, and set the record straight about how he'd broguth it on himself. Several others came forward and said he'd harassed them as well.
My suspension was shortened to 2 days and he was charged with bullying.
Apparently his parents wanted to press charges, but then about 8 other families said that they had viable assault and other such charges to lay as well.
He never showed his face again.
And it just goes to show you.
I am really angry about half the time.
