One day I was walking along right in front of the administration building were the staff and the principal had their offices behind a large glass window. They had a clear view of a large Samoan boy just sucker punch me in the face. He was aiming for my nose, but I had just enough time to lower my head so he smacked me in the forehead. He laid me out flat on my back, and I saw stars. He would have crushed my nose. My forehead hurt his hand so he gave me a kick for hurting his hand. Not one teacher, or any of the administration came to check on me, or ask if I was OK. Lots of students walked past laughing at me.
I laid there for probably 20 seconds trying to fugue out what the heck just happened. I was dazed for sure.
All I had seen was a fist coming at my face, and after many years of fighting with my older brother, I knew how to duck. I was late to class as I went to the wrong classroom first, and the teacher wrote me a tardy note.
