//**Hamlet Entering the New World**//

The hallway was quiet, so quiet you could hear yourself think. The lockers were all rusty, but the floor was shiny, you could see your own reflection. As I approached the water fountain, I saw Claudius and Laertes chewing gum and throwing it on the floor, as usual. Those guys are always up to no good. Claudius and Laertes are my bullies. They're "best buds", so whenever one of them is around, the other always follows. Claudius is a jock who only cares about sports, and thinks about them all the time. He thinks that sports are way more important than school and an education. He is strong, from sports and beating me up all the time, and he has a very deep voice that scares you when you hear it. Laertes is kind of like Claudius. Laertes is a jock, too, and only cares about sports just like Claudius, but he is a bit bigger, stronger, and taller. They are also really " popular".

As I approached, it looked like they had already noticed me, because they stopped what they were doing and started to get all tough. They looked like they were "preparing" to do something bad.

When I stopped in front of them, Claudius said, "What are you doing here, pipsqueak?"

"Claudius, I have had enough of you and Laertes's nonsense and behavior. You have been bullying me for too long and I want you to stop....or else!"

"Or else what? Are you going to hurt us with your calculator and books?" Laertes said sarcastically.

I was so angry that I just ran right towards him and attacked him. I didn't think before I attacked him, it's like my mind took control of my body and did its own thing. I started punching Claudius in the face and stomach and kicking Laertes in the stomach and back. I don't hurt people often, but like I said my mind was controlling my body and I tried so hard, but I couldn't stop. I was beating them up so hard I didn't even know I could hit as hard as I was hitting them. The only thoughts that were in my head was "why don't I feel any pain?" or "what is going to happen after this fight is over?".

The fight lasted for about 10 minute. The reason why it lasted so short because during a couple of minutes into the fight Mr. Horatio, our principle, came out of his office and broke up the fight. Mr. Horatio is a big and tall man and is just a few inches taller than Laeretes. Like mostly every other principle, Mr. Horatio was a very mean and cold person. It seemed like he hated his job and would rather be somewhere else. No one knows why he even wanted to be a principle when it looked like he hated kids.

"What's going on here!", Mr. Horatio said.

"Umm...nothing sir", Claudius, Laeretes, and I said.

"Nothing! I just walked in on your little fight, I think it is something. Come with me in my office, NOW!", Mr. Horatio said angrily.

We went inside his office and told us to take a seat. He gave us a little talk on what the consequences would be because of our 'fight'. Then he told us to wait outside of his office while he calls our parents. It seemed like hours waiting outside but our parents finally came and entered Mr. Horatio's office to discuss the 'problem' in school today. When the parents finally finished talking Mr. Horatio called all of us in his office. He said because of our little 'fight' he is expelling all of us from school. The 3 of us were so mad at each other and we tried to explain, but like I said Mr. Horatio has a cold soul. He didn't let us explain and just told us to leave. That day was the worst day of my life. I got expelled. Well I learned my lesson. Revenge comes at a great cost. You could lose...everything.
