Don’t have time for details on this one.
In middle school, I was in eight grade and he was in seventh grade. I forget his name, he was a good-looking kid, but he was in seventh grade. Too young for me. This boy however, had a crush on me. He followed me for days. He purposefully did not pronounce my name correctly. I corrected him. He mispronounced it, I corrected him. Then, he – he thought he was clever – pronounced my name as Cherry. He started calling me Cherry. My eyes roll. Then, he started following me and saying What’s eating you out Cherry? Which made me mad angry! I did everything I could to get this boy to stop following me and repeating, What’s eating you out Cherry?!
Until…
I was walking in the gym, he was to my left and behind me when I could not take the torment anymore. I grabbed his arm, flew him over my back flipping him so that he landed on the floor to my right.
Breathe.
He was fine. I did it so well and without thinking, he was unharmed. Not a scratch.
I scared myself.
Because I was good. What eight-grader flips a boy in the air without any training?
That was scary good.
