The following morning as i was locking my bike up, I peered over to where i usually meet up with Calvin to walk to class but he isn’t there? I start to walk around as i am scared because i can’t find calvin. Maybe he got suspended? Or maybe he is already in class? As i said that, the bell rings so i head to class hoping that calvin is there.
It was 5 minutes into social studies and calvin walks through the door. I feel bad for calvin because everyone is staring at him in disgust and annoyance. But i silently wave him over my way so we can sit together. Disappointingly robbie is sitting a row behind me so hopefully nothing goes down.
As i’m writing down notes about the lesson, I over here Robbie saying things about being drunk and i can see that Calvin is clenching his fist’s into a tight ball as if he was going to spin around and swing. At this point i can tell that Calvin is in discomfort and anger, but then all i see is a quick movement as Calvin swings his arm back and makes contact with robbies jaw. This isn’t going to end well...
The whole class gasps and is all staring at Calvin and i not knowing who had done the damage. With the force of calvin’s punch, it had knocked robbie off of his chair and he was in an unconscious heap on the floor. At this point i didn’t know what to do, I was in shock and Calvin was breathing deeply so it was a little obvious that it was him that did it. Miss Gibson Had finally noticed about 5 seconds after the incident and Calvin end’s up turning himself in for his mistake. The last words I heard from Calvin until my later years were. “ I’m sorry, I let the anger get the best of me. So long for now my good friend.” as i got home that afternoon, I crumpled onto my bed knowing that i wont see my best friend for a long time.
Wow Aiden, I enjoyed reading the alternate ending you created. In you version of the story, Calvin let's his anger get the best of him, but he comes to that realization too late. My favourite part was when you wrote this phrase: "as if he was going to spin around and swing" I thought that created a clear picture in my head as to how his fists were clenched and what he was looking like.
ReplyDeleteWhen you finish your writing, make sure you give it a read over. Some of your I's are not capitalized and names of people should also start with a capital.
Well done on your first assignment of Term 3!
