Dancing Fool In School Short Story

Dancing Fool in School
In the past I was an extremely bizarre schoolboy and performed abnormal actions to acquire interest from others at my elementary school like sporting a reddish helmet. Occasionally my muscle twitches caught the awareness of others. Young’uns approached me and questioned, “Why do you jerk your arms and feet like that?” I couldn’t expound it to them because I didn’t fucking comprehend it myself.
Therapist Dan: “Do you recall the name of your medication by chance?”
Me: “No, I was eleven then. I don’t recollect the precise label. I scarcely understood why I needed to ingest dual capsules each fucking dawn and occasionally I forgot.”
Any who, I arbitrarily performed pushups upon the hot asphalt whilst my peers remained in

Before I knew it I was viewing music videos on MTV and VH1 when they still had them. I imitated countless Michael Jackson dance steps. Then I continued rehearsing and training for my performances more than anything in my life.
At daybreak I cavorted on the dead grassy schoolyard by myself because nobody played with me or appeared to appreciate what I did… at least that’s what I originally assumed. Droves of kids accosted me and said shit like, “What the hell are you doing?” I replied, “I’m just practicing so I can dance like Michael Jackson.” Some sprogs expressed that Michael Jackson was a fag and several advised me to keep dancing whilst they watched.

My classmates’ peer pressured me to perform for our fourth grade teacher by jabbing a pen towards my neck. She actually desired to see it. So I acted a fool for my teacher. Most of the people just said I looked hilarious and laughed at

They cheered concurrently as they clapped when I spun all around on the slick cafeteria surface like a dreidel. Everyone went crazy! I received more praises from break dancing than I ever did impersonating Michael Jackson. I advanced my break dancing talents in high school when I joined a hip-hop club and that steered me toward busting a move at nightclubs when I attended Jr. College.
Getting back to fifth grade, my alliance with Runt declined as time marched on. His momma was notorious for grounding him every other weekend. I divulged what a complete bitch I thought his momma was for punishing him frequently. To my astonishment he was snubbed by my remark and snitched on me to his momma. He was such a fucking squealer.
Everything transformed afterwards. His momma discontinued drinking and snorting cocaine with my parents. Then one day at the schoolyard Runt told me I fucked my momma and sucked her tits every night. Accordingly I punched him in the face. Nobody talked shit about my momma and survived my

The next day I arrived to class and everyone gave me a round of applause when I walked into the room. The credit and acknowledgment from my peers made me feel good, for it let me know that they really liked it. Hearing how they were both moved and inspired by my play made me feel as though my writing had a purpose. I felt that maybe I should not be afraid of what others think because they just might like it.…

    I have felt many pressures, race is such a big problem among black people but as community can get over the hump of being pressured into a few stereotypes. From my own personal experience being a young black man growing up in many places of black being the majority such as Detroit, Chicago, New York I felt an amazing amount of comfort around these areas. Once I move down to La Vernia Texas, being enrolled into an all white school with a lot of Mexicans and the only black people could only fit on a bench in a hallway that we called “The Black Bench” in high school, I attended La Vernia school district for 7 years from 4th grade all the way to 10th grade in high school.

    I approached the doors of the Great Hall and my heart was practically beating out of my chest. All I could hear was “left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot.” Everyone seemed to know what they were doing, except me. I decided to sit and watch, but deep down inside I was trying to build up the courage to join in and accept the fact that I have two left feet. I felt like all eyes were on me because I was the only person in the entire room sitting, but I did not care.…
