DVD

I’m Excited… I Have A DVD!
“I’m excited… I have a DVD!” screamed a very overexcited Tom. Even though DVD’s had been around a while, Tom Ginoro and his parents had just gotten a DVD over the weekend. “ that’s awesome to scream, 11 years ago” said the class skeptic Blake, an obnoxious sneer painted on his face. At 15 the boys had been enemies all their lives, ever since third grade. Blake always slammed Tom about his low income and over excitable nature. “Look, he has nothing to say in response everyone. Just like always, the fat cow!” “You quit it Blake! I’ll tell Mrs. Rafferty, or Mr. Huff, maybe I’ll even take it to the principal!” The rest of the class looked uneasily at each other, everyone knows teachers never really take care of anything. Dragging a teacher into an argument was like pouring water on a drowning man. Whatever was going on between the two boys would have to be worked out by them. “All right Ginoro, stop being the freakin’ noob you are and actually do something. Tell you what, let me see your DVD.” Tom had brought his DVD to show everyone and was beginning to regret the decision. “ I said let me see the freakin’ DVD!” Blake roughly grabbed Tom’s backpack, ripped open the zipper, and snatched out the DVD. “NO! Don’t you care about anything Blake?!” The whole class could begin to hear the tears in Tom’s voice, this was getting interesting. Egged on by their hoots and yells Blake casually took the DVD out of its case and stomped his foot on it. Everyone froze, he had gone too far. “Don’t look so torn up everybody, it was a stupid movie, and he’s just some loser.” “You dumb bastard.” Tom curled one fist into a ball and swung. Blake toppled to the ground, Tom kicked him in the ribs. Blake was still on the ground when the paramedics got there.
