The problem was, I didn't care. I didn't care that I had assaulted her. She was being mean to me; why did I have to feel guilt?

The principal gave me a stern look. "I am going to have to give you detention."

My eyes opened in annoyance. I wasn't worried about detention. Part of me was happy that I had finally pushed back against that girl.

No one had cared for the fact that I was being teased for a long time now. No one had tried to help me. I felt like I was an idiot. No one really cared about me or what I faced. I never got any sympathy.

This detention was unfair but at the same time I knew I could face it... No one was going to bother me again. I was going to make sure of it.

If someone hurt me again...
