Dwight Scott was not looking to be a hero ….

… He was looking to be a man

This Was All I Saw For A Couple Hours

Then I Woke Up

When I woke up, I was in the office of the book store. The cops talked to me. The school was the contacted. I was told that I would get to finish the school term as long as I did not hit any more people. If I hit anyone else, I would be sent to jail, and I was too injured to keep on choosing to fight anyone else that term. So I followed the rules after a phone call from my home and I kissed everyone’s ass to make sure that I could stay there. At the end of the school term, my parents came up to the campus to talk to me. It was agreed that I would get to continue my education and living in New York as long as I did not get into any more fights. Fine then. Unfortunately, that meant not standing up for myself. Everyone else was able to pick on me all that they wanted to.

Before the end of the Winter term, however, I did get into one last fight. Scott Tyler also got in my face. Scott Tyler was a bully back when I was much, much, younger. He had gone clean though he had to get in my face when I was going on a rant about something.

Threatened my tone, he got in my face.Afraid that he was going to beat me up, I went at him as he was in my face.

Fight Scene

He went down. I continued on hitting him and I was smiling. He went down on his knees. “No! No! No! No!” Scott Tyler yelled out. He was facing down. He was out.

I Really Don’t Need Any Of This Right Now.

That Last Fight Almost Got Me In

Trouble; Could Have Gotten Busted For

My Drugs. However Getting Back At That Creep REALLY Felt

Good.

Dwight??

So Do You Think What You Did To Scott Is Something To Be Proud Of?? ??

Tyler Deserved It

No He Didn’t. He Was Trying To Calm You Down. You Saw What You Want To See. Then You Overreacted. How Can You Be Proud? Did you Want To Impress Me?

Sorry. Normally Whenever Someone Gets In My Face And Tells Me Something About My Control I Think He Wants To Start Something.

He Could Have Beaten You Up If he Wanted To. He Felt Bad About How He Bullied You And Felt Like Letting You Punish Him.

Just Like Those Guys I Save You From Could Have Beaten Me Up??

You Had Better Not Bring That Up. And I Won’t Bring Up The Drugs.

How Did You Know About That????

I Am Smart. Do You

Remember That??

Yes, A Reason Why I WANTED To Impress You.

All I Remember About The Rest Of The Conversation Was Something Along These Lines …

And great! You are the guy who …

Oh great! You are the girl who …

Along With These Lines …

So you became a more powerful man! So you

became a better student! So…

You are independent! And smart! And you are too

good for everyone else!

Then she said the words to me that I would always remember.

You are a better fighter now. And you are a super hero. But you still are the guy who we all

didn’t like. So you have become a tough guy! So you have become a man! But as

long as you have that attitude, you will STILL be no better than who you were before!

You were a disaster then! You are a disaster now!

Yes! Yes! Trouble follows you everywhere you go. Everywhere you go you

bring around trouble! You may not be a victim to others anymore! But you are still a victim to yourself! You are a mess now! You were a mess

then! How much of this which now surrounds you do you think is your fault?! How

much of that what is now around you do you think is

your own fault?! Tell us Dwight Scott, freaking hero!

You’re the worst kind of hero!

A what

now?

Oh really?

That Was The Last Conversation I Remember Having With My Peers From High School Before They Went Back To Iowa.
