• The last two hours of school. Teachers had us eight graders lining up in alphabetical order. I looked to my left. Great, I was in a close distance to a kid I hated to hell, Jake, who had a realy bad history, plus an assalt not that long ago, on me. I looked around. No teachers. This was not going good. There was a girl between us, that was good, she might be enough. I looked to my right, there's my exgirlfriend, Sammy. I looked at her pleadingly. "help me!" and nudged my head toward Jake.
    Sammy shook her head and looked away. My eyes scanned around. Still no teachers, or anyone. Until Mr. Bently came and yelled out "All band students please come to the auditorium!" The girl between me and Jake was in band. And she left. Jake smiled evily toward me. And then yelled out "I can't wait for the summer, I'm gonna kill so many foxes!" I rolled my eyes. This kid can be so annoying. I waited patiently. It was all going to be over soon, then I'll be moving, leaving behind this annoying school, and jake with it.
    "Yea, I'm gonna name a fox Rikky bobby then shoot his head off!" jake annouced and i growled. Sammy saw me getting fustrated. "Zeke, just calm down, he's just being an idiot."
    "Hey Zeke, i heard you were making out with your girlfriend at the zoo!" My body started heating up, like it does whenever I get ticked off big time. Just try to ignore him was my plan. Only less than two hours of it. Jake started moving his tongue around. I hada try realy hard not to kill him.
    "Zeke, why do you date that girl?" He had crossed the line right there. "Zeke you gonna take that?" My anger became fuel. I could feel it running through my viens. "Zeke please just punch him" Sammy looked at Jake acting more like an idiot. My eyes glanced over at him. I was so furious. I forget what Jake said next. But I was done.
    I turned around as fast as i could and punched Jake in the throat. His head bounced and hit the glass behind him. After he recoverd, his eyes were like knives, so full of fury. I felt his fist make conact to my left eye. I took a few steps back to keep from loosing balance. Everyone backed away. i got ready to punch again. Or even kick. Jake snarled "Stop!" I growled "I'll stop if you just stay the Hell away from me and shut the f**k up!!" A high school girl saw what had happend and got inbetween us. I had enough of this crap. I walked away to the office. I left jake to deal with it. I could feel my eye throbbing with pain. It was my middle school diploma. And i was proud of it.
