Cory McBride Mrs. Bear English 10 Period 6 27 October 2011 Her Hero I was fighting a guy named Lance Clegg. He was a chubby looking kid, short hair, and wore classes. He was one of those kids who believed he was above everyone else because he was smarter. So when he started picking on people I snapped. I beat the crap out of him. I could remember it as if it was yesterday. He and I getting in our stances, were ready to throw down. I got the first punch in. to me the first punch is the most important thing when it comes to a fight. It shows the tolerance of what a kid can take. I could remember that first punch. My fist taking flight, and finally it hit the side of his cheek. Feeling the soft tissue that will soon bruise, and become tender. This kid could really take a punch. He retaliated and threw one. It struck something fierce. But back in 2nd grade it would hurt a lot. Now I’m in 10th grade and looking back, a punch from a second grader doesn’t hurt. Well anyways, the fight continued. Both of us taking blow after blow. We must’ve been fighting for it least a minute until the teacher finally came and decided to be a teacher for once and break up the fight. He was tall ,and a little bit bulky. He had a kind of buzz cut, and a goatee. And he was cool, he just couldn’t teach. But in the end it didn’t solve anything, although he didn’t talk to me anymore.

The punishment didn’t seem as bad as it looked. I got suspended for 2 weeks, which means staying after school. And cleaning anything that the principal wanted ( Her office.) She was one of the meanest principals’ you could ever have, like no joke. After the punishment I had received the girl that was being picked on had come up to me. She was a tall skinny girl, long hair, blue eyes, and a great personality. Her name was Emma. She thanked me for helping her with lance. She said that lance doesn’t go no where near her now because of what I’d done. I guess I sort of saved her. We became good friends, until she moved away. I think that if you help someone, they will repay you with kindness.
