The Story of Joe


Joe was the last person on earth I expected to do that. I mean, Joe was always a quiet and reserved guy but not this time. I guess it’s because all the anger and emotions he held inside; he rarely socialized. When he did, though, he was always shutdown in some sort of manner. I still can’t believe he did that. The way he did too was with this very audacious style. He went straight up to his class mate and just started the fight after the peer insulted him. Joe was in a furious rampage. He immediately began to hurt the peer until the peer was begging for mercy.

What was also unexpected was the strength Joe possessed. As mentioned, he was shy and quiet but he was also of small stature. Nobody expected him to be capable of hurting a peer that seemed twice his height and ten times his strength. Joe left everybody in dismay as he repeatedly and uncontrollably punched the peer unit the peer was bleeding from his nose and lips.

After the fight (if you want to call it a fight because the peer didn’t even have a window to fight back), Joe was immediately escorted to the principal’s office by the school police man. Joe was still boiling with anger. His face was as red as a flame from hell. Everybody in the class had to go talk to the administrators of the school in order to be a witness to the event.

By the end of the day, Joe was just given a minor disciplinary act because he was indeed harassed by several other students. Joe walked away with relief yet everybody viewed him as even more of a freak after that. Joe, the quiet, shy, and reserved, student finally released all his emotions in the violence of the fight. Joe was the last person I expected to do that.

  1. I feel like this is a direct representation of your personality. Are we gonna fight after class one day? I dont know! John, if you need to see a therapist, do so. Anger and violence are not the answer.
