Baseball Skills Really Come In Handy

"I used to vomit on that trail all the time when I first started" Erica said. "The first time I went I puked till it felt like all the liquid in my body was gone." We were currently at school. Woopie. We were just talking about yesterday in our 5 minute break between classes. 

"Really?" I replied, skeptical that this was the truth.

 "Definitely." 

I heard big footsteps booming behind me. I turned around just to see- Wait what?! JOSHUA HALLAL?! 

My face twisted into a grimace. I thought after 8th grade I would be free of him. But yet, here he was. With his two goons, derrick and henry. Right in front of my eyes. In the flesh. All 170 pounds of him. Ok, I think you get the point. 

"Oh ho ho," he croaked. "Would ya look at what we have here."  

He was smiling like the devil. "Buzz off," I said, my teeth gritted in anger. I wasn't about to let him bully me right in front of Erica Hale. 

"What did you say lover boy?" He looked angry and surprised.

"I said. buzz. off." my voice was dangerously low. I don't know where I was getting the confidence from. 

"Alright," he said, "that's enough." "Pin him up boys."

"Oh, you can't do it yourself?" I said. "You need dumb and dumber here to hold me?" I don't think I realized how dead I was. At this point I had absolutely zero control of the words coming out of my mouth. 

"Okay," he said. "If that's would you'd like."

 Then he came charging towards me. My baseball instincts suddenly kicked in. I backed out of the way like there was a pitch coming towards me. He went right past me and banged his face into the wall. Erica almost burst into laughter. He turned around and I could see his nose was red. He came towards me and swung a deadly punch heading straight for my face. I simply dived down like I would if there was a 70 mph fastball thrown towards my head. His fist banged into the locker and he groaned in pain. 

That's when I saw Mr. Terence, the physics teacher. He quickly strutted towards us and said "Come with me Joshua, Let's pay Mr. Carter a little visit." "B-but, what about him?" He said, pointing a meaty finger towards me. "He didn't even touch you," Mr. Terence told him. "I saw everything." He started walking and Joshua followed. He looked behind his shoulder and his expression told me everything I needed to know. This meant war.
