Right Or Wrong

Violence Isn't The Answer

            "That is just so typically me," Chris was singing. It was just a normal Wednesday for 13 year old Chris. Chris had a brother when he was younger, but his parents didn't want two kids so they put the other one in adoption. They put him in adoption at age two. Chris' was informed about this when he was eight years old. He still is very upset about it. He cries about it everyday. He tries to find his long lost brother, but fails. He still tries to though. Anything to find him.  He gets bullied a lot by the boys at the school. Usually they would make fun of how he dresses or looks and they would often try to fight physically with him. One of the bullies, Kris, was threatening to beat up Chris if he didn't do his homework. Chris went home and did both Kris's homework and his. But the thing is, Chris answered Kris' homework wrong on purpose. So the next day, Kris got an F, and Chris got an A. Kris was furious and had a little chat with Chris near the lockers during break. Luckily, one of the teachers saw Kris push him against the lockers and took him to the office. Well that happened two months ago. Now, Chris is focusing on getting good grades to be able to go to a good high school, then go to college to study to become a pharmacist like his aunt. He was listening to Britney Spears on his phone. He was dancing to the music and was really enjoying it. As he was dancing, he then bumped into his best friend Amerika. Amerika almost tripped. "Oh sorry Captain Amerika," he said to her. "Hey I told you not to call me that, but hello," she responded. "Oh sorry I kinda like the nickname though," Chris said. "It's fine, but next time how about not dance and walk at the same time?" she laughed. "Wow. I didn't see you. I was listening to Britney my queen ," Chris said laughing. "OF COURSE YOU WERE!" she exclaimed. They both kept laughing. "Wanna do homework with me and Javier later captain?" Chris asked. "Hm sure, and also captain is better than calling me Captain Amerika,'' she said laughing. "All right I'll see you later," he said. "All right see ya," she responded. Just as Chris turned around, he bumped into one of the people who bullied him, Austin, and knocked down the books that was in his hands. One of Austin's friends picked up his books and gave it back to him. "WATCH IT PUNK!" Austin yelled. "Oh sorry I didn't see you," Chris said. "THERES NO SORRY. YOU LITERALLY JUST KNOCKED DOWN MY BOOKS BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION! NEXT TIME YOU BUMP INTO ME I WILL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?" said Austin. "It's if you can. Your teeth look like they're throwing up gang signs," Chris responded. Amerika was laughing after he said that. "Excuse me? What did you just say?" Austin asked. "Are you deaf? I think you are because you literally are yelling when we are not even a foot away from each other," Chris said. "Austin just go and fix your uneven eyelids," Amerika said. "STAY OUT OF THIS FAT STACK!" Austin exclaimed. "OH HECK NO YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT! IM NOT EVEN 100 POUNDS YET!" Amerika shouted. Just then, Chris wanted to do something. "Hey Asphalt," he said. "NOPE AH AH DO NOT CALL ME THAT!" Austin shouted. "But what do you want?'' Chris then slapped Austin's face. "OH HECK NO!" Austin then tried to grab Chris' neck but Amerika pushed him out of the way. Austin was then touching Amerika's chest. "WHAT THE HECK BRO YOUR SUCH A CHILD PREDATOR! GET OFF MY CHEST!" she yelled. The english teacher, Mrs. Wong, came into the fight. "What in the world is going on here?" she asked. She tried to pull Chris off of Austin since he was punching his face. "GET OFF OF ME MA'AM!" Chris yelled. He broke free from Mrs. Wong's grip and started to kick Austin. He then stepped on his neck. Austin started to cough and grab his own throat. "CHRIS COME WITH ME YOUR GOING TO THE OFFICE NOW!" Mrs. Wong said. "Sorry Chris," Amerika said. Chris nodded. Mrs. Wong grabbed his hand and took him to the office.  

They walked pass the art room, and the grade rooms to get to the principal. As they got there, Mrs. Wong and him sat down near the meeting table. "Welp, why are you here, Chris?" asked Mr. Gonzalez, the principal. "I accidentally bumped into Austin and he made a big deal out of it even though I said sorry, and he called Amerika fat and I didn't like the fact he said it, so I slapped his face and tried to grab my throat, but his hands landed on Amerika's chest, and she felt uncomfortable so I punched his face and beat him up on the floor and stepped on his fat old neck," Chris said.  "Thanks Mrs. Wong I got this," the principal said. She then glared at Chris and left the room. "Okay Chris, I know what Austin did was also wrong, but you didn't have to step on his neck. Even though he bullied you a lot, doesn't mean to beat him up. Violence isn't the answer," he said. "Oh okay I get it. Your'e playing favorites. When students slap me, it's fine right? But it is illegal when I do it. Oh okay. This is why I hate this damn school. I hate everyone here except for two damn people. TWO! OUT OF LIKE 573 STUDENTS? UNBELIEVABLE!" Chris said to him. "I am not playing favorites, and for the record I did lecture the students who were bullying you. You just didn't get a heads up," Mr. Gonzalez said. "Well I am not giving you a detention, because it is kind of Austin's fault, and you are one of my favorite students, so I will let you go off, but if it happens again, we will report it to your parents," he added. "Oh all right I won't do it again," Chris said. "Have a great day bud," the principal said. "You too." he answered. Chris got up his chair and left. As Chris left the office, he passed the school nurse's office. He saw Austin on the medical bed. "Oh wow I never knew it would be that brutal," Chris said to himself. He then looked at his watch to check the time. It turns out that he only had a minute left to get to class. He took out his phone and texted the group chat with Amerika and Javier. 

Chris: Hey y'all, just got out of the principal office.

Amerika: omg did you get a detention?

Chris: Nah lol

Javier: Wow lol

Amerika: okay just stay out of trouble next time

Chris: Guys let's meet at the park

Amerika: Oh lol Javier and I are already heading there

Chris: Oh all right I will meet you guys there

Javier: Cya

Chris put away his phone in his pocket. He walked out of the school exit and headed for the park the three of them were going to meet at. He put on his earbuds and listened to Britney Spears again. "With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride," he sang. As he was walking, someone came up behind him. It was Kris. He pushed Chris down on the floor. "Whats up loser," Kris said. "Please leave me alone or I will mop the floor with your butt," Chris said. "Oh wow let's see you try," Kris said. Chris then got up and punched Kris' throat. He went behind him grabbed the bully's shirt and yanked it, choking him. Kris fell down, and Chris started to kick him. "I. TOLD. YOU. SO. IDIOT!" Chris yelled. Kris started to moan in pain. "CHRIS CHRIS WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED!?" someone screamed. It turned out to be Amerika and Javier running towards him. "OH WELL THIS WEAK LITTLE BI- I mean uhm," Chris said. "Bro just tell us," Javier said. "OH WELL THIS THING CAME UP BEHIND ME AND PUSHED ME SO I MOPPED THE FLOOR WITH HIS BUTT," Chris exclaimed. Kris then got up on his feet and started to walk away. "THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR TESTING ME LITTLE RAT!" Chris yelled at him while he walked away. "Chris you literally just got in trouble today for beating the heck out of Austin," Amerika said. "You really need to calm down. Violence is never the answer," Javier added. "Nope ah ah I am not backing down to those bullies. They either beat me up, or it's the opposite," Chris said. "Oh well it is up to you," Amerika replied. The three of them then sat down at a lunch table, and did their homework. Chris may have learned a lesson today though. That violence isn't the answer, but of course, he doesn't care about what they say.
