It was 8:00am, half an hour before school started, on a cold Friday when all the boys in grade 6 made up a game called Raptor Juke. This game is all about tackle and very dangerous where at least 10 people got hurt in the first 15 minutes we played. I was lucky enough not to be the tagger or else I probably would have been on the brink of death.

This is disgusting!"  So I threw it at the clerk.
