Personal Narrative: My Middle School Career

I knew my middle school career was over when I almost blinded my principal. Sure, I knew laser pointers could hurt someone 's eyes, or so I was told. Never had I ever used a laser pointer before, so who better to test it out on than the principal himself? Right? Apparently not.

It all started in the lunchroom, a middle school lunchroom I might add-- a loud noisy messy affair. It 's like Vegas, what happens in the lunchroom stays in the lunchroom. End of story. So anyway I was sitting there with all my friends. Somehow we got into this big daring contest, and well, middle school dares are quite interesting. We went around and all the boring ones came out: daring people to skip class, throwing paper airplanes, or even putting pop-its under the toilet seat . Eventually it was my turn; I was prepared to show everyone how cool I was, and how I 'd step up to any challenge: whether it be skipping class or even adding to Wynwood. I waited…and waited until they thought something up. I was sitting there all confident, yet the moment it came out of their mouth, all my dauntless bravado wisped away.

I had to shine a laser pointer in the principles eye. This was definitely something I knew would get me kicked out

The next day I was prepared for it all to go down, and it did. I shone the beam into the principal eyes, he stopped the assembly right then and there. He took of his glasses, looked up, and I could have sworn his gaze was pointed directly at me. In the most dead of tones, with a face that would have put medusa to shame. He asked repeatedly who had shone the laser. So, just like the good Samaritan of a middle schooler I was I didn 't say a word. Not a word left my lips. He didn 't find out who it was, not from me. We left and went to lunch and I was the new hot topic as everyone talked about how I had done it. I sat with my table as they each gave me ten dollars because none of them actually thought I would do it. I was the richest man in the world right then
