When the recess bell went everyone was quick to go outside into the back and play with their friends, I took my time to gather my things and shuffle over to my locker and get my hat and coat. While I was wandering towards the doors Mr. Brohart the principal stopped me and asked me why I wasn't outside. Could he not see that's where I was already going?! "I'm heading out now." I said, as respectfully as I could muster with his beady little eyes on me, I pushed past him and out into the bright sun.
There was yelling and cheering and I saw a group of people in the soccer field, I rushed over to see what all the hubbub was about and that's when I saw the fat head Alex. He was kicking someone but I couldn't make out whom, I pushed my way through the crowd of cheering people. It was Olivia, I was surprised, she was so popular but it seemed she was taking my daily pounding. I ran into the ring like a wild wrestling fan and began to yell at the top of my lungs "HEY! PISS OFF ALEX YOU BIG FAT HEAD!" I gave him a hard shove and he slipped backwards in the mud and FLOP onto his back. I picked Olivia off of the ground, her tears left white streaks through the mud and blood on her face.
I let her lean on me as I helped her through the crowd of astonished kids, staring at me in awe as I helped her. Our journey to the doors was interrupted as I heard heavy running footsteps after us, I let go of Olivia and turned around to watch a red faced Alex charging at me like a bull! His fists were already all crumpled by his sides, just at that moment a foot shot out and tripped that big fat head right over on his face. It was the Josh kid and he picked Olivia off the ground and carried her like a dashing prince inside. I was left alone with the bull.
