Westside Warriors

september 4, 2017

I can see paper wads flying all over the room. the jocks and the cheerleaders are all over each other and they throw paper wads, trying to shoot into the trash can like it was a basketball game. Mr. Harper hadn't came in yet, but when he does, he normally just sits back and watches them. I ,however, just write in here for the hour. it wasn't like I'm a pretty girl. I'm just that girl nobody hangs out with. Sure, We all have our flaws, but some have more than others. 

here are some things you need to know about our school.

1.) we've had 6 major accidents in the past year.

2.) don't mess with anybody.

3.) don't trust anyone, not even yourself. 

4.) don't run away.

5.)sometimes it's better to just shut up and say nothing. 

6.) if you get in anybody's way, they will beat you up and it won't be good. 

I , however, would never hurt a soul. I think the worst of the 6 accidents were what we called the "suicide challenge".  It consisted of 8 boys and they were all big and muscular, in other words, half of them were the football boys. they lined up in front of the other 3 kids and hit them. somehow they got ahold of a baseball bat and the first kid, William,  got beat to death, the second one, Alex,  got a concussion and the third, Cole,  was beat to death as well. 

it didn't come a surprise to me when Mr. harper walked in and was hit by at least 5 paper wads at once. I think back to the suicide challenge and what was all of our teachers reactions. Mr. Harper just was him, sitting back and watching all of us. Mrs. Murphy had given us a 2-day lecture about what it means to take someone's life and how messed up it was, only she was convinced it was an accident. 

Mrs. Philips was the worst. Her 4-day lecture made each and every kid cry tears of either guilt, pain, sympathy, or something else. She cared about us all, but she was not happy about the suicide challenge. She cried as well and what something I wasn't aware of was that her youngest daughter was killed at a football game. Her name was Emily and she was a beautiful cheerleader. she was beaten to death and possibly stabbed with a pocket knife afterwise. 

you would think the principal, Mr. Martin, would do something about it, right? wrong. He did nothing. absolutely nothing at all. not an ounce of discipline. 

 I wasn't surprised. It happened all the time, however we always get new students to fill them in. 

I must go now. the bell just rang and I must go to last hour.
