I knew my middle school career was over when I almost blinded my principal. Sure, I knew laser pointers could hurt someone 's eyes, or so I was told. Never had I ever used a laser pointer before, so who better to test it out on than the principal himself? Right? Apparently not.
It all started in the lunchroom, a middle school lunchroom I might add-- a loud noisy messy affair. It 's like Vegas, what happens in the lunchroom stays in the lunchroom. End of story. So anyway I was sitting there with all my friends. Somehow we got into this big daring contest, and well, middle school dares are quite interesting.

He asked repeatedly who had shone the laser. So, just like the good Samaritan of a middle schooler I was I didn 't say a word. Not a word left my lips. He didn 't find out who it was, not from me. We left and went to lunch and I was the new hot topic as everyone talked about how I had done it. I sat with my table as they each gave me ten dollars because none of them actually thought I would do it. I was the richest man in the world right then
