The pea hit me in the back of my neck. Turning around, I always sat in the front, I saw Kent smiling with his hands folded on his desk with an innocent smug smile on his ugly mug. Ignoring him I turned around and tried to focus on what Mr. Baldwin, whose thick black glasses were always sliding down his large nose, was saying about personal hygiene. Almost all of us hated health class.
Another pea whizzed by my ear and landed on the floor in front of Mr. Baldwin. Picking up the pea Mr. Baldwin motioned me forward.
Oh Danny Boy! 
Sounds like the triple whammy: health class, blind teacher, and doofus bully.

Ahrgh, why do so many teachers fall for the innocent smile routine? Great story, the poor boy will take the blame and not tell on Kent, I suppose.

I have a bad feeling; Kent with his innocent smile. Nice slice of life for a kid at school and clever take on the prompt.

Oh no. I was feeling so sorry for the poor little victim already and then I read your comment that it was true!! Poor nerds – they have a hard journey. Let’s just hope it makes him stronger. And I hope Kent mends his ways.

I think Kent might suffer for this. I’m glad I don’t have to go to Health Class.

I don’t like the sound of Health class either, or Kent. Hope the teacher can see the truth.

Perhaps he could think of it, not as an unfairness, but an opportunity to hone his advocacy skills

That is so not fair! Teachers never see the real culprits, do they?
Fun take (well, not so much for your MC) on the prompt.

Readers Digest version of a real story. There were actually three bullies: Kent, Clair and Junior. I was a nerd before there was a nerd. Turned out ok I think.
