My Favorite Mistake

The simple ,strange stupidity,of not being quite in the right mind.How almost instantly you can change the course in you life.With a insignificant  mistake in action.In this case it includes bullies,a gas mask ,and a machete.I know that must sound horrid.A crime of human nature."CALM DOWN"!Let me tell you my tell.

I had only been in school for three weeks at this point.It was close to the end of the year,but that's a long story.Clouds lined the sky painting  puffy images in my side vision.The air smelled of fresh earth and thick smoke.There was no houses to be seen for the next eighteen miles.Thats ok, maybe even better.Almost an hour in this hell ride,did I get the first husky voice above the screaming pubescent children."HEY FREAK".I ignored it as I always did normally they stopped at that-not this time."hey there you know who you are FREAK"! I hated being called that out of all.(By God) call me anything ells anything but, that—putrid— word.The bus pulled up to the newly build building.It was a bland, sad looking building.It fit so well into this town filled with all of those small , boring  houses.Country folk they called themselves...more like idiots.I pealed myself out of the seat,only to be welcome by a sharp shoulder in the ribs.I clenched my teeth and stood back up exiting the bus last.

Only ten minutes till the bell rang.No time for breakfast just time to get to biology class.I briskly walked up the stair case the thin glass railing welcoming anyone who felt to mess with me.(Heh hope they like strawberry jam). Once I got to the top of the stairs I turned left to head to the class,yet again stopped in my tracks. Bradon stood there his arms cross his grin spread acrostic his face like a monkey.I tried to pass him but he only stepped  over to block me again.(shisea),"Hey.Brandon how are you"! He shifted his wait his smile fading. "I ain't to shur why you be asking such a stupid question F-R-E-A-K"!"I didn't know a dead girl could talk".I looked up angrily. "what do you mean by that,if I may ask"?

just to make this story a little shorter.Maybe I can spare you of this idiots wordplay.He threatens me
Explaining that his few buddies were going to get together and (RID ME).I think he meant to say get rid of me. alike to anyone you would not to greatly enjoy if someone threatened you like this.So I went home with a deviously  violent plan against them.I got home put on a mask packed my machete and slid on my trench.This is how that went.

I played a simple tune in my head,almost humming.My mask secure to my face my hands balled up in fist.What people didn't see is that I was smiling.I entered the lunchroom walked around and headed to the stairs I knew were they would be.I walked up the stairs brimming,slowly calmly in a way.Sadly I was stopped. Right before I reached their group,I was pulled to the side and asked to remove the mask.I denied told him what had happened. As usual got no help so I walked out and never came back.I Walked eighteen miles to my friends house,in the rain.After that I veered over the edge.


I think of this now,everything that happened led to this day and If I could have stopped any moment of that day. I would have walked home instead.I would have taken of that mask off and I would have fallen asleep. Alowing my dreams to ones more erase that day,as if it never happened.

I think that your mistake is a good one to learn from. I know how it feels to be bullied. We all have those stops that refrain us for doing something we might regret.

I like your story. it's very interesting because you had a mask. I understand that you were hurt but you could of told someone that cares.

I have never been in your shoes but I have been on the other end. It is great to think about the damage I could have done to people. I'm sorry for you and it makes me think about my mistakes. If I could take back what I did to certain kids I would in a heart beat.

I personally have had many instances in my life where I've been threatened and ridiculed. Yet, I also learned how to be the better man. I liked your overall tone of your wording. Your spelling needs a little improvement, but all in all, it was a good yarn

I found some of your other esays very entertaining. So I fuguted that I'd read more. When I came upon this one, I felt I could relate. I do relate. I'm still known as the 'freak' to many people. I just like to think that freak is the kind of title someone could write a book or a poem about. Rarely ever do I see a book about some 'normal' person or situation. I find being a freak to be interesting.
