Whoever said seven was a lucky number didn’t experience my life on Friday February 12th. On our seventh time we got caught.
I got in trouble for drawing the bad drawings on the walls in the bathroom. When I first got called in, they took me next to Officer Thaker’s office and told me to get on the wall. They then checked my backpack if i had anything like sharpe, and I did. At that moment all I cared about is not to be yelled at by one of the counselors for having a sharpe on campus, because one of the things really brings me down is when people scream at me..
After they found my sharpe Mr._ (aka “The Intimidator”) walked me over to the main office to talk with him.
That’s when I started to feel uncomfortable.
On the walk The Intimidator kept peering at me as if screaming at me, “CRIMINAL!”. His voice continued to rise with each step, telling me, “Don’t lie about anything or you will get it worse”.
I began to feel like that piece of paper you see twisting in the wind. A victim, now snatched up by The Intimidator who had already labeled me a “criminal”.
The laughs and smiles I had created with my artistry were long forgotten.
