Chapter 5: Taking Care of Number One

"Crap," thought Nick as he walked to the principal's office, "I'm gonna get it now." He began to notice that as he walked towards the principal's office, students and teachers alike were staring at him with fear, shock, and anger.

"You idiot!" yelled one student, "you took out Erik the day of the football game!" He heard another student whisper, "I know he was freaky to begin with, but after what he did to Erik, I'm really scared of him." Nick even heard a teacher speak, "I knew one day he would crack."

Hearing all this bad talk about him just made Nick angrier. The voices of the students and teachers grew in number and volume. Just as he got to the door of the principal's office, Nick couldn't stand it any longer. He turned to the crowd of students and teacher.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"

The crowd instantly went silent, great shock having overcome them. Nick stared at them with utter hatred. They saw him as a lower being, not worthy of being called a human being. Just a freak.

He turned around swiftly and entered the principal's office, slamming the door with great force. Even after he had entered, the crowd was still silent.

"Sit down, Mr. Ramono," said a deep, calm voice. Nick sat down and faced the brown-eyed black male. The principal took a deep breath and said, "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!"

Before he could stop himself, Nick quickly replied, "I don't know." The principal glared at him as if his eyes were daggers. The principal replied, "How could you assault poor, innocent Eric like that?"

"And what am I, chopped liver?" snapped Nick, "I mean, he's beaten me up plenty of times, and he's never gotten in trouble." The principal replied, "Well, at least you were able to walk away. He'll be lucky if he could walk out of the hospital, let alone play the homecoming game tonight."

Nick couldn't believe it. Nobody was on his side. His anger grew and grew, until he decided enough was enough. He got up from the seat, ignoring the principal's demands to sit back down, walked around the desk, grabbed the principal, and lifted him up into the air.

For once, Nick saw fear in the principal's eyes. Nick glared into his eyes and said, "I'm tired of this bullshit. From now on, I will not take any crap from you, Eric, or anybody else. So go ahead and call my grandparents. I dare you!"

Nick let go of the principal, who landed hard on the ground. Nick turned and walked straight out of the office. He saw that there was now an even larger crowd than when he had entered the office.

"I hope you all heard that!" yelled Nick, seeing the fear in every single eye that laid on him. He began to walk forward, the crowd moving away from his path. Nick felt happiness inside. He was finally getting the respect he deserved.

He walked to his next class, as if nothing had happened. The students and faculty acted the same way. The only difference was that nobody was trying to make fun of Nick. It was as if he was just a regular student.

"Finally."
