‘What goes around, comes around’

“Nice shot!” exclaimed Andy, as the ruler flicked across the classroom and landed on the victim’s head. The whole class erupted in to fits of laughter. “Hey Loser! Aren’t you going to give my ruler back?” said Sean Parker smugly.

“That was a good one, buddy!” said Rick while giving his classmate a high five.

 “Rick come here a second and look at this!” motioned Andy, Rick’s twin brother.

And so another usual Monday morning began for the pupils at Werner High school. Stevie sat subdued, his arms folded and his homework set out neatly in order of lesson in front of him. He was oblivious to whatever was going on around him, he couldn’t see Sean and Danni chatting intimately in the corner, or Andy and Rick laughing at a comic strip, and all he could see was the ruler in front of him.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind he shook his head and closed his eyes. Danni and Sean were going out for ages and he would never let anyone else interfere, unless they wanted to be hurt badly.

Sean hugged Danni and ignoring Stevie; he walked out the classroom and shut the door behind him. Danni walked up to Stevie and grabbed a chair from a nearby desk.
