The other day, a guy (J for the purpose of this) was hanging around me and my friends at lunch at school. He was kind of being agressive, hitting people with bottles and his hands, but i can be too sometimes, and hes always being a bit of a dick, so it was whatever. Anyway, i stood up to get away and he opened my bag. When i turned around, a load of shit fell out and J took some of it. He was hitting me over the head with my hairbrush, and not lightly. He was properly whacking me. I was looking for something to get him back, but he had taken like half my stuff and all i had was a fork. So, i ‘stabbed’ him with it. I didn’t do it hard. Just enough to make him stop. There was literally a pinprick where i had done it. He didnt even really gaf, but someone saw it and told my head of year, and now somehow my whole school knows and im in deep shit. I know im going to get absolutely pressed on Monday by people asking why i did it or if im in trouble (i know i am but im not just yet, if yk what i mean) and i just dont have the mental energy for that right now. I am a very socially anxious person sometimes, and i just dont fucking like half of the people i know are gonna be interrogating me.

I feel like i was just defending myself and my property. Also, remember how i said J was aggressive? This is 100% something he would do to me if he had the opportunity, provoked or not. Also, im going on a trip to Africa on Friday and i just cant be fucking bothered to be paranoid about my newfound social fucking image the whole time when im meant to be relaxing in the sahara.

To be honest, i dont regret doing it. In the heat of the moment i likely would do it again. Im not even that scared to get in trouble (as long as they dont call my fucking mom or something, she will be judging me the whole time in morrocco) but i just really dont want people blasting me with questions that i will have to answer a million times over and over. AITAH?
