Most of my life I was always the guy who never stood up for himself. I was always the guy would just silently walk away and never raise a hand against someone else. I was always the guy who came up with the perfect thing to say, after the argument was over.

Now, let me tell you about the day I snapped.

It was a perfectly warm June school day, and I hung out with my group of friends and the day went smoothly. When the afternoon came, all the people who were on the safety patrol had to leave the room early, and most of my class was in the safety patrol, so homeroom was empty except for me and about five other people and the homeroom teacher. Two of those five people included my best buddy Jake, and Mike.

Mike was just about the biggest asshole you’ll ever meet, he hangs out with my group, but he disses all of his “friends”; everyone hates him, but is too afraid to say anything to him because he’s a hulking monster of a human being.

I’ll bet you can guess right now what’s about to happen.
