Our Last Days as Children

Graduation is this Friday. The next day I'm leaving to boot camp. I walk around school and see everyone enjoying the last days together laughing and smiling and hugging each other, and I just can't help but think what it would be like if me and Mariah hadn't gotten into that fight. I hate that I still care about her. Since that day we haven't even made eye contact. Ugh I hate myself so much! I just hope she's happy. I feel so bad for telling her everything about Dick. On my way to 3rd period,  Dick came up to me angrier than usual. "Are you fucking retarded?!" He shouted. "What the hell are you talking about?!" "What the fuck did you tell Mariah?! She asked me if I've ever cheated on anyone! She thinks I'm fucking another girl!" "Well you probably are!" "Yeah but I don't want her thinking that! Fucking shit you're such a dumb ass! Tell her you were lying or something, just fix it." He stormed off. "No!" He stopped and turned around. "What the hell did you just say to me?" "I said no! I'm tired of you're shit!" "Look just fix it or I'm gonna kick you're dumb ass!" "Then do it! You wanna act like big shit, do it!" The people around us looked in disbelief. He punched me in the face as soon as I said that. I hit the ground... hard! He started to walk away. Luckily my friends Jaslynn and Briana were there to help me up. My cousin Abby ran over to me. She asked, "Are you ok?" "Yeah I'm fine." I answered weakly. "Oh my god you're bleeding!" Jaslynn shouted. I touched my lip and saw blood on my finger. I kept staring at Dick as he walked away. Abby saw the look in my eyes. "Don't do anything stupid. He's not worth it." "No, I'm finishing this bastard." I immediately got up and walked towards Dick. My hand was in a fist ready to swing. "Hey mother fucker!" He turned around and I swung. I hit him in the eye and he immediately swung back. We were trading blows like the last round of a boxing match. We threw each other against walls and classroom doors. Each slam was louder than thunder in a hurricane. I tackled him against the wall. "She deserves better than you, you asshole!" He slammed me to the ground. He was gonna hit me some more but his friends pulled him away. He kneeled next to me while i was half unconscious and said,"Get it through your head. She doesn't love you, nobody does." He walked away and I passed out.
