Jose Ruiz's Monologue

Exposition- Michael is a eighth grade student at the Lab school who is serious about his work. Well Michael is always getting himself into disputes with other students because he always insults the other student’s intelligence correct them when they get something wrong before they could correct themselves. Well one day Michael just did it again, but this time it was with Josh, the biggest bully in school. Just before Josh could correct his mistake, Michael did because of that Josh felt embarrassed so he got up and mugged him in front of the class. Michael not knowing what to do got up and ask to leave the room to calm down for a second.

Michael- Damn! I got one month left to be at this school and I go do something like this and of all people, Josh the toughest boy at school. If I don’t think of a plan and fast I’m going to look like the biggest punk in school. Nobody is going to ever forget this. When people think back about their eighth grade year they are going to remember me as the kid who got chumped off by Josh. Unless, I stay away from all the other students that witnessed what happened today. No that won’t work the news would all over the school by the end of next period. Or I could go in there and apologize so I won’t have a problem with Josh anymore. Both of those ways I’m still going to walk away from here looking like the biggest punk in school. But there is one thing I can do to not make myself look like a punk. I could go in there and walk up to Josh without any questions and punch him in the face. I know I can’t beat him, but before he gets a chance to react the teacher would be there to stop the fight and I get to walk and fix the situation without looking like a punk.(pause) All what the hell? I only have couple more weeks then I’m off to high school anyway.
