Meanwhile, Juan could not help but sigh as he continued with Kyleâs punishment to stand in class at Grant Kindergarten.
He was curious about what Kyle could have done to anger Ms. Patty so much that sheâs punishing him for six days.
After standing up for a few minutes, Juan raised his hand, âMs. Patty, my legs hurt. I canât do this anymore.â With a pout on his face, Juan tried to seem as pitiful as he could.
Ms. Patty gave him a look before ridiculing him coldly, âSo your legs hurt, do they? Do your hands not hurt when youâre hitting others with them?â
Who did Kyle hit?
Kyle may be proud, but I donât think he would hit anyone unreasonably.
As surprised as he was, Juan decided not to talk back to Ms. Patty since he did not know the whole story.
By asking Kyleâs classmates after the class, Juan found out that Kyle was only hitting the other kids because they were calling his mother a âmadwomanâ.
How dare they call mommy a âmadwomanâ! I wouldâve hit them too!
While those kids were playing, Juan deliberately stepped into the middle of them.
âGet lost! Youâre in our way!â
Juan then raised his head arrogantly and looked at them provocatively, âThis is a public place. I can stand wherever I want!â
The kids glanced at each other and decided to deal with âKyleâ the same way they did last time, so they started to call his mother a âmadwomanâ again while they ran off to the teacherâs office.
They were hoping to get âKyleâ in trouble with Ms. Patty again.
Kyle, who just recovered from a serious illness, could barely catch up with the healthy kids, but not Juan.
Having practiced taekwondo since he was much younger, Juan caught up with them easily before punching the fastest and loudest kid in the group.
âOuch, that hurts! My nose is bleeding.â
Out of their expectation, âKyleâ seemed different with his quick actions.
The other kids started to tremble with fear but Juan was not about to spare those who bullied Kyle and talked bad about his mother.
Juan clenched his fists as the others got ready to take him down as a team. In the end, Juan only got two scratches on his face while the others lay on the ground with bruised noses and swollen faces.
âTalk bad about my mother again and youâll get my fists!â warned Juan with his arms akimbo.
After getting up from the ground, the kids ran as fast as their legs could carry them over to the teacherâs office.
Juan knew that even if they did not complain to Ms. Patty, she would eventually find out when she saw their faces.
They can complain all they want. Iâm not afraid!
Soon, the kids who were beaten came back for âKyleâ with Ms. Patty.
âYouâre hitting others again? This is outrageous!â
âI only hit them because they talked bad about my mommy, Ms. Patty.â
âThat doesnât mean you can hit them! No matter what, itâs not right to hit others!â
âWell, what if someone deliberately provoked you and called your mommy names? Do you just let them, Ms. Patty?â
âWhy would they call your mother names for no reason? And why was it just your mother, not everybody elseâs? Thatâs because both you and your mother have issues! Look at you! Iâm sure the apple doesnât fall far from the tree.â
Furious, Ms. Patty was trying to come up with the perfect way to punish âKyleâ and appease the kidsâ parents.
