Joey's blog: "Joey Carlton"

The Fight Joey Carlton William was twelve years old and he was on a walk with a girl who he’d secretly had a crush on, Kate. She had long brown hair and green eyes. She was wearing a dress, on that day and she went to the same orphanage as William. William, on the other, was a big blue eyed cutie with golden brown hair. The two of them were walking in a beautiful park that was very near their orphanage. They eventually sat down at a bench, and William listened to Kate talk about what she remembered of her parents. William found everything that she had to say enthralling, and he was beginning to feel quite close to her. It was a few minutes after they had sat down on the bench, that a pair of boys spotted them. The two boys knew William, and knew that he was an orphan. They were both two years older than him, one with blonde hair and brown eyes, and the other with light brown hair and green eyes. And the sight of William excited them. They loved to pick on him and beat him up. Lucky for them, William didn't know where they lived, so after every time that they beat him up and William returned to the orphanage all bloody, there was nothing that could be done to punish the two boys. Today, the two fourteen-year-olds were feeling a little low and the sight of William pleased them...and it appeared that he had a girlfriend. This made things much better. They began to approach the two of them, sitting on the bench, neither of them noticing their presence until they were within feet of them, when William looked up. His face went from happy and joyful to grave and scared in a second. "Hey, loser," said the blonde boy. "How's it going?" William didn't answer. "Hey orphan," said the other, "Is that your orphan girlfriend?" "Go away!" Kate snapped at them. But Kate didn't know whom she was dealing with. These kids were the toughest punks in their grade at school and they were two years older than she and William. The two boys grinned at William and Kate and then at each other. The blonde kid signaled that he would go after William and for the other to go after Kate. They began to approach them. "No! Please, stop!" William pleaded, but this only seemed to please the boys more. The blonde kid picked William up by his smooth golden brown hair. "Hey, kid! Think fast." And he punched William in the face. William groaned. He was punched again and then thrown to the ground. "Lousy orphan," the kid said to him. He stomped on William's chest twice and kicked him in the sides. "Why are you crying, orphan?" William lied on the ground looking up at the blonde kid. Then he turned his head to see Kate being thrown to the ground as well. She was screaming and was terrified. William watched in terror as his beloved Kate was being slapped in the face. "This is going to be the worst beating you’ve ever gotten," he said, punching William in the chin. William was still watching Kate, tears streaming out of her eyes as she cried. Then William's eyes suddenly narrowed and all of the pain left his body. His heart was pounding faster and harder than ever. He had never felt any emotion as strong as he did now. The blonde kid slapped William. He punched him again and again, but William did not cry out, he did not scream, and he did not even moan... The kid hit him again, and still William continued to wear that expression on his face with his narrow eyes. The blonde kid was somewhat surprised by William's sudden lack of painful cries. But he was far more surprised by what he did next...he punched him. And William didn't just punch him once, but again and again and again, very rapidly. The blonde kid got up off of William, holding his face, moaning. Then William got up off of the ground. "Hey kid! Think fast!" William sneered and he punched the kid in the chest and then in the stomach. The blonde kid moved his hands to his torso, holding himself in pain. William elbowed the kid in the ear and swung his fist into the kid's face. He punched him again and then kicked him. The blonde kid fell onto the ground crying in agony. William turned to his next victim. He walked over to the brunette kid who was pulling at Kate's hair, making her scream. William was now upon him, his eyes glowing madly in his anger. William picked up the kid by the hair, pulling him upright, as the kid screamed. Then William punched him and punched him again-again-again-again-then he kneed the kid in the scull and turned him around and kicked him in the back and smashed his elbow into the kids side. The kid fell to the ground, crying. William kicked the kid with all of him might. And he kicked him again and again… William would have pursued, but a couple in the park saw the scuffle and came to break up the fight, which was no longer a fight, but a beating. The blonde kid now had half-blonde hair and half-red hair. And the other kid had been knocked unconscious. William got into deep trouble that day, even though he insisted that he not get into trouble, because he said that he was only protecting himself. However, the caretakers at the orphanage seemed to think quite differently, for knocking someone unconscious seemed to be a bit beyond the realm of protection. But the bullies never messed with William again. They had no idea how it was that someone who was two years younger than them had single-handedly beat both of them up, and they made sure not to tell anyone at school about it. But the best thing of all came later on the day of the fight…when Kate and William became girlfriend and boyfriend. Joey Carlton
