Giving Is Caring

“Move out of my way you fuckin’ mut!” Jason Mars screamed, followed by a shove to my back, causing every paper I had to fly out of my arms. As I stood up and turned around, I saw Jason’s closed fist coming straight to my face, but before he could connect, BAM! A science book smacked Jason right in the back of the head. “ Leave him alone Jason! Go pick on someone who aint afraid of you!” I heard a high pitched voice yell from down the hall. I was shocked when I realized where the voice came from. It was Regina Fontain, the most beautiful girl in school; well according to myself and the rest of the guys. She didn’t stay to fight, or even converse with me, but still I was in awe. Should I have been embarrassed of being rescued by a girl? If so I wasn’t; I had bigger things to worry about. I almost forgot to mention, I'm Jeffery Mosely. Sometimes it seems like the other students shit on me just for being smart Or because my Momma is white. I've made the honor roll every semester since high school started. My Father passed when I was a freshman, leaving my mother with myself and six of my siblings. I just want to give Ma the world someday. With that being said, I roll with the punches, come to school everyday and work my ass off.
