Welcome To My Life
By:Brianna Jaynes
I rushed down the school way stairs, breathing faster with every jump. I was attempting to beat the sound of the fire alarms ringing in my ears and around the school. I was hoping I could get back into the cafeteria before anyone noticed I was missing. For someone with not the greatest record like me, if I was gone everyone would automatically assume I’m the culprit of this dilemma. Which, I was of coarse. But that’s beside’s the point. At age fourteen a life of crime shouldn’t have come of me yet. I was still a kid. But a much messed up one. All I could say to my self was it’s all over anyway. I seriously wanted my cruel life to end, now. I hated how so many people had normal lives and parents. It just felt horrible how I was the only one with a lot of brothers and sisters because my fat mom got too busy.
The janitor spotted me running and joined in a chase for me. I jolted into the Cafeteria with as much energy that could come out. The huge crowd of angry students evacuating the cafeteria looked at me and never quit. There eyes were literally clued to me. With the stares from everyone I managed to try my best and blend in with the hungry kids. As we emptied the giant school and filled up the lonely sidewalks everyone glanced up in shock of the red blaze coming from the second floor. Two second graders looked in horror at the smoke coming out of the building. I didn’t care though. I was too mad to care. I hated my mom. I hated my mom. She had to bring this old guy into our family after I already dated his fat daughter. His name was Wayne Kelsey. Me and his daughter, Terri had broken up because Wayne started dating my mother. My life was such a wreck. I had so many brothers and sisters that half of them barely even have contact with me.
The principle Mr. Swetch came out with a stressed look on his face. “Eric Michael, I’m sorry but you’ve officially one a ticket out of my school.” I clenched my fists tight and gritted my teeth. He didn’t have too announce it, the fact that I brought a lighter to school and set the bathroom on fire. No one got hurt. Mr. Swetch motioned me to join him. I didn’t say a word as I passed the discussed faces. Then I felt someone tap my back. It was Joey my best friend.
“Eric you went too far, I mean past the cliff this time.”
“Far?? You call this far?? I could’ve burnt the whole damn school down!”
Joey grabbed me by the shoulders, “What’s happened to you?”
I looked at him with a blank face, “life Joey, Life.”
I yanked away from his grip and walked towards the angry principle. He was standing straight with his harms behind his back. He was wearing a suit and tapping his penny loafer shoes, up and down. The look on my face made people back away as I headed toward him. Older students patted me on the back and gave me comments like “good job”, or “You’re my hero.”
Finally in what felt like years, I reached the place Mr. Swetch motioned me to stand at. “When this ends I’m calling your mother and you’ll be sent home until tomorrow. Eric, I’m sorry you have problems at home but you can’t take it out on innocent people. Someone could have gotten hurt.” The rage built up and I just had to let it out. I took a swing at the principles face and in one punch I knocked him to the crowd. As he thudded to the ground everyone dropped there jaws in shock. Half the students clapped and the other half were either mad or very upset. Claps or not I was still in serious trouble. All the troubles lifted from my shoulders for that moment of triumph but it all ended when a teacher yelled, “assault.”
