Chapter 3: The Final Straw

As I walked past the various buildings checking my watch as I go, I couldn't help but notice that everyone was walking to class in their own little group. Some people walking with 6 or 7 friends while others just walking with one friend. I thought to myself 'even if I could be the person walking with one, just one true friend, then maybe I would feel like I have a purpose in life.' I looked at my watch and saw the time 8:50 am. "Damn I'm late, I better pick up the pace!" So I ran as fast as I could and I finally reached the stairs I needed to climb. I climbed up each step carefully so I didn't trip over and as I climbed each step, I heard my accounting teacher's voice get louder and louder. "Yes I'm nearly there." I finally reached the class, opened the door and sat down in my usual seat, in the middle sneaking past my teacher who still hadn't noticed I had arrived late. As if it was a perfectly normal thing to do, everyone who was sitting in the middle row of desks just moved away from me and found new seats at the back as usual. They all stared at me with mixed expressions. 'Wow I'm not an alien, I'm not gonna bite.' I thought to myself. As the students got up from the middle row and moved towards the back, my teacher who had her back turned so she could face the whiteboard heard this disruption and turned to face us. "What's going on?" she asked. She stared across the whole classroom and finally noticed me. "Your late, Jack." She said in a cold tone. I replied "Sorry Miss Peterson, I got held up in traffic." Miss Peterson than looked at me for quite a while, examining my expression very carefully before replying "I don't usually listen to excuses from students but I know you're a good student, I'll mark you present on the roll but if you get to class late two more times, you will be put on late DT is that understood?" "Yes miss" I replied. She finally took her eyes off me and focused on the rest of the class "Sorry for the interruption but today we are going to be looking at the different methods of cash control. This will be a part of your test which is worth 4 level 1 NCEA credits and they count towards the 80 you need to get your level 1 certificate." She said as she kept talking on and on and on. "Now keep in mind that when you are writing about Direct Credit you must state that..." "Oi, Jack!" Nathan said from behind me "I don't think he heard you Nathan." Christine said to Nathan. "Oi, Jack! Give me your fuckin notes I need to copy them! Give them to me before I have to smash your head in to get them. You know, string bean it's funny because their isn't a single thing that you can do about it, except for agreeing to my demand. It's almost like school's too easy for me." I ignored Nathan as I knew he was nothing but brawn and no brains. He was 6 feet tall and towered over me when we stood up but he was not quick on his feet. I knew from the fights I had seen him in before, the most recent one being last week that he lacked speed...and brain. 'It's funny, because he never gets suspended when he's in a fight, maybe because everyone's too scared to tell the teachers. Oh wait what would they do anyway? Their useless' I thought to myself.

'In a fight Nathan, talking tough doesn't help. In a fight you need brains and brawn to win. A fight is 75% brain and 25% brawn. Your size means nothing to me, I've sparred against people twice my size so I'm not scared of you anymore. Size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it. Why are you even threatening me, when I haven't even done anything to you? Is it because you get a thrill picking on people smaller than you?' I thought to myself. I was snapped out of my thought process as I felt a loud bang on the table behind me and I turned around to see what had happened. Nathan had slammed his fist on the table so hard that it made even Miss Peterson turn around from the loud sound the impact made. Miss Peterson looked around the class for a while then said "Um, ok... as I was saying, Direct Credit is very important because it is an electronic form of..." Miss Peterson carried on and so did the rest of the class, writing down their notes but I stayed turned around and he said to me "That was strike 0, when I get ta 1 you betta give me your notes bro or I'll fuck you up real bad gee. Got it." This time, I wanted to do something about my situation, I wasn't going to be bullied anymore, I had enough of that for years and it ends today. So with a smirk across my face I decided to 'comply' for now and before I got up I whispered to Nathan "Okay I'll give you your notes, I'll walk over when Miss isn't looking and drop them in your bag." "You finally understand, thank you string bean." Nathan replied.

'Get ready, you're about to get the best set of notes you've ever gotten Nathan' I thought to myself. Miss Peterson had her back turned and I saw my opportunity. As I walked over to his table I dropped the notes down onto his table and he replied "What do you think you're doing, I said in my-" was all he was able to get out of his mouth as I grabbed his collar and pulled him towards me. As I did, I poked his eyes and he was now rubbing his eyes and shouting "Miss, Miss look at this mental fuck head, he's abusing me!" The rest of the class was laughing at what he had just said which made me tighten my grip on Nathan, making him wince even more. Miss Peterson turned around and shouted at me "Jack, release your grip on Nathan at once!" Nathan's friends Rawiri and Tamati were now starting to pry my fingers open so they could release Nathan, but this just made me angrier and I shoved them away. As I did I lowered my voice to a deathly volume and said to Nathan "Who the fuck do you think you are? Who the fuck do you think you are aye?" The whole class moved closer to hear what I was saying. However I still wasn't finished with him and as I let go of his collar, I grabbed his spiky hair and pulled it down while he was screaming in pain "You bully me into giving my work to you? You think it's funny to pick on someone smaller than you?" I said as I moved behind him and pressed my right forearm across his throat. "You know for a big guy, you're awfully weak, and you're calling me a string bean? How come people are so scared of you, you're so fucking weak! I can't believe that I was once scared of you" "Let go strin-" "When will you stop harassing me? Do you want me to send you to the hospital because believe me can. I'm just getting started!" I interrupted as I squeezed my right forearm even tighter against his throat "I'm s-sorry gee I was j-jokin' g-gee I didn't mea-" Nathan choked "I don't, take apologies well! and if I ever hear you abusing me in class, talking shit behind my back or threatening me for my work ever again I will shove a stick down your throat so far it'll stick out of your ass and you'll become a walking, talking broom stick understand?" I said as I made a final squeeze against his throat before I released my grip on Nathan and pushed his head forward. As I did this, he turned around and threw a straight right at me. I blocked it and slammed his head down on the desk "Stupid moves like that ain't gonna get you no where in life Nathan! You're never gonna win, not against me anyway" I said as I walked back to my seat and sat down.

Miss Peterson looked at me in shock and shouted "Nathan, Jack I will need to see the both of you after class!" I nodded my head while Nathan kept touching his now bleeding nose over and over again, his friends Rawiri and Tamati looked at me in fear. I narrowed my eyes and said "What are you guys looking at, you want to end up like Nathan aye Tamati, aye Rawiri?" they quickly jerked their heads back to the whiteboard and stayed quiet for the rest of class, leaving everyone else alone as well. I looked at my watch "Wow 9:29:28 am already? I must have really eaten into class time. The bell rings in a couple more seconds." I whispered to myself. I sat there for a few seconds listening to the remainder of the lesson, thankfully I had made all the notes previously so I didn't miss anything this lesson.

The bell rang and as everyone made their way out of class, me and a bloodied Nathan walked up to Miss Peterson. "Nathan, your behaviour has been unacceptable today. I will deal with you later, get to your next class." Nathan quickly walked out of class, glad to be let off the hook temporarily. "Now Jack, explain yourself, why did you beat Nathan up, Why were you so cruel towards him? Did you even have a bit of sensitivity left in your heart before you thought about what you were going to do" My temper reached my boiling point as Miss threw these boulder sized accusations at me. Fuck sensitivity, it's a pussy thing and I was a pussy when I was all 'sensitive'. My temper now bubbling hot, I replied "Cruel? He has been abusing me for days, bullying me for my work, not that you ever noticed and I'm the one being cruel? Miss I'm going to be completely honest whether you like it or not, I can't really explain what I did, it was an act of self defence. Against a bully who has been terrorising not just me but others just because of his size, I guess my beating served him right." "2 wrongs don't make a right Jack. No one has ever won the fight with 2 wrongs..." Miss Peterson slowly replied "Yeah well if you had noticed Nathan's behaviour, you could have stopped what just happened today. Your omission of duty as a teacher is wrong. So that's one wrong and failure to discipline Nathan is another wrong. Hmm guess you are right, 2 wrongs don't make a right." I quickly retorted back, pissed off that she was still acting like she was on Nathan's side. 'Just give up lady, take the side of the victim for once in your life please' I thought to myself. "Jack, what has gotten into you, you are such a good student and I do not want to report this incident to Mr. Stephen, the associate principal because you know what will happen don't you?" "Yes Miss, I'll get suspended for 3-5 days even though I was the victim." "Jack as much as I hate to" 'yer right' I thought to myself "I'll have to give you a written warning to take home to your parents regarding this incident. The incident however will not be passed on to Mr. Stephen understand?" "Yes, Miss." I replied "You're just TRYING to doing your job." 'That is if you even can' I thought to myself. I saw her take out the pre printed note and writing on it, I stared at the pen that would get me into a whole lot of shit when I got back home. As she finished writing the note she turned to face me and said "Okay then, take this note home with you and bring it back to me signed so that I know you have shown it to your parents ok?" "Yes Miss." I replied.

Iwalked out of the class and got ready to go to my next class, or what's left of it. As I walked outside, I passed the cool shady place I like to eat and read at. I kept walking but I dropped my bag to the floor when I saw who was coming up to me, Matthew and Paul. I assumed that they were wagging class but that didn't surprise me. "Wow, I guess the dog's got some bite after all." said Matthew, "Nah, he just got challenged by a weakling that's all. Nathan sucks balls, but still how could he have lost to this poodle?" Paul retorted. I was starting to get pissed off, I looked hard at both of them and said "What do you guys want? Haven't you humiliated me enough, can you just go away and leave me alone before something happens?" They looked at me and said "hahahaha, the dog's bark is louder than his bite... HEY HE'S ALWAYS GOT MY FOOD, IN THAT HUMOUNGOUS BAG OF HIS AND I'M HUNGRY! MAYBE HE'S GOT SOME FOOD TODAY ASWELL. I'M SURE HE WOULDN'T MIND IF WE BORROWED SOME BEFORE GOING TO CLASS, POODLES DON'T NEED TO EAT THAT MUCH RIGHT?" After his denunciation of me, Matthew attempted to throw a roundhouse kick to my knee while Paul tried to jab me in the face. I stepped back and to the side and I moved forward and threw an uppercut punch at Matthew's stomach. Matthew keeled over and screamed in pain "Ahhhh, string bean's got a helluva punch, watch yourself Pau-" was all he was able to get out as I performed a downward elbow strike to the back of Matthew's neck, rendering him unconscious. I was now circled by students who were running out of class to see 'our fight'. They were cheering us on. Paul was left, he glared at me "Poodle, you don't know who you're fuckin' with" "Oh I have a pretty good idea." I quickly shot back.

Paul charged towards me and I quickly stepped to the side, performing a taisabki. Numb-nuts was looking around trying to find me, 'damn he lacks speed.' I thought to myself as I side kicked the back of his knee and as he came down I side kicked his face, toppling him over. As he lay on the concrete ground, I kneeled down to his level and spoke to him. "DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU AND YOUR LITTLE BUDDY DID TO ME, 3 YEARS AGO?" "Wha- you talkin' abou-?" "WRONG FUCKING ANSWER!" I said as I punched his face and grabbed his hair to pull his head level to mine again. "Try again" I said a little calmer. "Um, w-we were walking and you got your b-bag l-locke-" I punched him again "NOT THE WHOLE FUCKIN' STORY DIPSHIT, OF COURSE I KNOW THAT, IT FUCKING HAPPENED TO ME HOW CAN I FORGET!" I calmed myself down and asked again "I meant what did you do to cause it?!" "C-cause it? We d-d-idn't c-cause" "ENOUGH WITH THE BULLSHIT!" I stood up and put my leg on his head slowly stepping on to it. He screamed in pain and for some reason I felt good about this. I wasn't being scared or anything like I used to be. "I'LL ASK YOU AGAIN, WHAT DID YOU AND YOUR FUCK BUDDY DO TO CAUSE THIS?" He was bleeding from the concussion he suffered as a result of my sidekick to his face which toppled him on to the floor and he was starting to lose consciousness "www-we sssss-stood- ther-eee a-nd –ll-laughed at you w-ww-e d-dd-iddn't h-h-help you when you ne-eed-ed us." His head fell to the floor and I kicked his body aside and laughed. "Have a nice rest." As I turned around, I saw Mr. Stephen and Mr. Andrews standing in front of me while I saw the school nurse rush past me to see to Paul and Matthew's well deserved injuries.

Both Mr. Andrews and Mr. Stephen said in unison "YOU ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE MISTER, YOU ARE COMING WITH US RIGHT NOW!" They grabbed hold of me and escorted me to Mr. Stephen's office. I looked back and saw the students, all staring at me some with tears in their eyes for their beloved friends Matthew and Paul and some just with plain expressions of fear. I was proud of myself, for once people would actually not look at me and see me as a weakling. 'their scared of me, so much for making friends... Fuck friends, where were they when I needed them? Well at least one good thing has happened, I've got my revenge, now I can go on with the rest of my life without them troubling me anymore!' I thought to myself triumphantly, but my thought process was cut short as we arrived at Mr. Stephen's office. He let go of me and said in a stone cold monotone voice "Come inside, we need to have a SERIOUS discussion regarding your future at this school" For the first time in a long time I actually felt scared and I swallowed and walked inside, knowing that when I get home, my life is over.

A/N: That's that for chapter 3. You probably found this chapter to be quite dark. This incident, apart from the names of the teachers and people involved, really did happen... This chapter took me quite a while to write and it took quite a bit out of me as I recalled a dark part in my life = ( On a more positive note, please review and tell me your thoughts on this chapter, always interested to know what my good readers think =) Anyway I hope you guys are enjoying reading this fic as much as I am writing it. 2 weeks left until the school holidays begin. I might be busy this week with practice assessments and other stuff but like I've said before I will make an effort to write more chapters if you make the effort to read and review this fic. Until next chapter take care, bye.

And thank you to Agato - The Dark Arachnid and xremeidiot for taking the time to give me constructive criticism on my work. I have now edited this chapter and from now on i will add spaces between my sentences as they were too crowded. I hope this makes it easier for you guys to read.
