There Will Be Blood

High School | Learning | April 15, 2017

(All the students are lined up in the quad waiting for assembly to start. I am chatting to one of my classmates when my best friend, who is a prefect, walks up to us and slaps me in the face. Prefects are “good” students who are appointed to police the other students’ behaviour.)

Me: *furious* “Do you think you can slap me for talking just because you’re a prefect?”

(Without saying anything, my friend holds her hand up to reveal a large dead mosquito and some blood splatter.)
