As you all know, I recently was into a fight with my friend. If you dont then here's that story. Now, some of you may wonder why I didn't post yesterday. I didn't post yesterday because I actually wanted to see what would happen if I let hiim hit me, and just walked away, then today I was going to try the opposite approach. Starting with yesterday here's how everything went down.
Believe it or not, I actually listened to the people on this board who told me to walk away, looks like I'm not the savage that you thought I was. Anyway, all of us we're in the same place as we we're yesterday (over by the water fountain). I had burning hatred in my heart towards my ex-friend, but I needed to see if he still wanted to be my friend, If I walked by, and he hit me, it means our friendship is over, If he didn't then our friendship is in the air. So I walked over to the water fountain, and got a drink of water as usual. After the drink, he hit me, out of the blue. I grinned, my fist, and muscles tightened up, and I clenched my teeth. But I walked away. I could hear the spectators saying, "John, you soft!!" Ofcourse I was angry that period. You guys we're right, it does take more of a man to walk away from a fight, but apparently I'm the only one at my school who now understands that.
I spent that night preparing for the fight, my coaches, and teachers warned me to not fight him. But I knew what I had to do. I did 3 sets of knuckle push ups, ate alot of protein, and listened to angry music. The next morning, I had it all perfectly planned out. I knew he was predictable, very predictable. I knew he was probably going to stand by the water fountain, he was going to hit me, and I planed on annihilating him the moment he did so. I wasn't going to let anyone stop me.
As I arrived at school the next morning, news had spread that I walked away from him, after he hit me. I was made fun of, and laughed at. I told them all that if he hits me, whcih he probably will that we will fight, and he will loose. As I had left my sixth period **** and walked to the the same place with the water fountain. My friend Ashton was following me. If I was going to fight, he wanted to see it. I had discarded my backpack about 27 yards from my destination. As I walked there, I saw many people that I had not seen over there before. News must have spread that I was going to fight him. I bent over, and took a drink of water. And to my surprise, he was not standing there as usual. I leaned up against the wall, and so a large croud of people yelling, and anticipating the fight. I didn'nt have the look of anger or hatred on my face. Nor, was the darker side of me going to make an appearance. Only the look of anticipation, and determination we're in my eyes. And everyone was shocked at how my eyes, watched him, and followed him where ever he went. I knew he was scared. He looked at me for a few seconds. I could hear people in the background saying: "He's gonna kill you." He didn't hit me. "Let me get my backpack!!!" He yelled. I knew the bell was going to ring so as he walked away, and went to his next period I got my things, and went to my next period aswell. My friends in that period told me that they've never seen me like that.
Now off-topic. What should I do, he obviously doesn't want to fight, he may even be afraid of me now. I don't know if we should be friends again. I know that it will never be the same. What would you do in my situation?
