A 6th grade witness

By: Rian Salinas

Boys in our generation tend to find the silliest or boldest ways to catch a girl’s attention. In 6th grade impressing girls was definitely harder for some people. But there is definitely a line that has to be drawn when it comes to doing so. For example, maybe don’t swallow a battery because you think it will win you chicks? I don’t know, maybe that’s just me. At the time, there was a young boy named Ozzy, he was a little different but no one really judged him for it. At least in the beginning. One day, he found the one girl he liked talking to another boy (who was just her partner for a project) and decided to jump at the opportunity to impress. He reached into his pocket to find nothing but a triple A battery. He seized the moment and swallowed it right then and there. He didn’t choke or anything, but I bet his mom was really happy when she had to take him to the hospital and get him emergency surgery. He came back after a few days due to the “no down time” surgery. OBviously everyone gassed him for his dumb decision, so he made a list and decided to threaten certain people with his pocket knife he had hid in his jacket. Yeah. He was expelled to say the least. Probably a good thing though, he is still talked about very frequently, and is one of those things you can’t really shake.
