Standing Up

I stare down at the palms of my hands. "Why are they sweaty. Wait, why am I sweaty?" I thought to myself. I felt like someone was watching me. I looked all around me, until my eyes locked with the principal.I saw the principal staring down at me with disappointment.

Freshman year in High School is the worst. Sixth day of school and I am already in trouble. Great. Just great.

"Jonathan I am talking to you," Mr. Roberts voice boomed as it bounced off of the walls. "Why did you hit the poor little boy?!" he demanded.

I stare at the white, bumpy celling trying to remember what I did. The all of a sudden, it comes back to me.

*Flashback*

"Leave me alone!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Aww is the poor little baby going to cry to his mommy?" Richard replied.

Richard was the typical Popular, rich kid that everyone liked. He has brown hair, and green eyes. Sometimes I felt like they were burning into my soul and I tried not to look up.

"GIVE. IT. BACK!" I screamed. He took my new iPhone that I had gotten for Christmas.

Richard then threw it to the ground breaking it into a million pieces. I stared down at the mess in surprise.

I looked Richard straight into his eyes and said, "You are going to fix this."

"And if I-" I punched Richard straight in the nose before he could even finish his sentence. Blood was pouring out like a waterfall. Right after I hit him, I felt horrible. Everyone was staring at me with shock and hatred in his eyes.

"You just wait," Jake, his best friend threatened.

"But I didn't me-", but everyone was already gone. I stared down at the bloody mess on the white tiles and wondered how am I going to fix this.

"JONATHAN GREEN, TO MY OFFICE, NOW!" The intercom buzzed.

*Back to before •.•*

"I...I didn't mean to. He broke my phone and I just exploded with fury." I whisper. I can't help but let the tears run down my face.

"You will be getting a 10-day suspensions from school Mr. Green. I'm sure that your parents will be very disappointed in you." I watched as a little smirk creeped on his face.

Oh no. My parents.

"Hello?" It was my mother June. She had bright blue eyes and blonde hair.

"Hello ma'am. I would like to inform you that your son Richard will be suspended from school for 10-days. This would not be the case if he hasn't acted so violently towards another student. I am sorry to inform you about this news, but I am sure you guys will discuss this tonight." Mr. Roberts explained.

"Oh yes. We sure will discuss this problem tonight. I am sorry that this has occurred and I can promise you this will never happen again." My mother said through the corded telephone.

"Is there anything you would like to tell your mother?" Mr. Roberts asked with a smile on his wrinkly old face.

I stared down at my bright yellow shoes wondering what I should do.

"No sir, there is nothing I would like to say. I would rather discuss this problem in private."

"Very we'll then...Mrs. Green, your son Jonathan would rather speak to you in private." Mr. Richard explains to my mother. He hung up the phone and told me, "Your mother will be here in five minutes."

"O..ka..y." I replied not able to keep a stable voice. My mind felt like it was going to explode. "What will my parents do? What will I do? What will...they do?" All of these questions were making my head hurt.
