Tale for a little bird...

My violent temper continued through 6th grade, as I could not find anyone to tame my wild ways... Got sent home a couple of times for beating people up, got suspended after a particularly bloody fight with three girls who pissed me off, ( they were all ganging up on the new girl, Caroline, who was from Portugal, using racial slurs....they had to be taken out) until one day, when I met my brother's newest friend, who I'll call Mr. X. He was a couple of years older than me and just as much into music as my brother was, in fact, together they had started a new band. He was from another town and so much cooler than the rest of the boys at school: he dressed in a mix of punk/new wave/classic rock fashion that was just starting to get popular in Switzerland. He liked cool music and smoked cigarettes (he was 14!) and wore patchouli. Talk about an irresistible combination! For once, I found myself flabbergasted, speechless and in total awe. I felt like the biggest dork around him, like a little puppy who would follow him around with a dumb look on my face.
I became aware a couple of weeks later that he felt the same way about me, when my brother handed me a note from Mr. X, where he was telling me he "liked me, and did I feel the same?"... I became so shy around him, I couldn't even look at him, much less talk. He would come pick me up at the train station every day and walk me to school, but I couldn't even hold his hand. I was only 12!!! The only thing I knew about guys was how to beat them up and shut them up...
So to make a long story very short, after a few months of hints (notes with lines: "what's between your nose and your chin?"), he finally lost patience and instead hit on my best friend, who was a lot more mature and knowledgeable...
As John Lennon once said: "Instant Karma's gonna get you"... It didn't last, she got pregnant by another guy at 17, divorced by 19, her family went bankrupt and lost their house...which I now own.
The universe has a funny way of settling things...
Mr. X, here's what you missed.
