DONT TOUCH THE FACE BY MARK ANTONY RAINES

"School is such a hassle do I need to go back ".

Says Little Johnny an average blonde blue eyed boy who at times is a little demon  like  all boys can be.

Johnny mother wake him up  from  his daydreaming of just staying  in his room all day playing on his latest  game .

"Well Johnny you  need a good education to get  on in life :you  can't survive  on wit and charm alone "

After speed eating  his breakfast of his favourite  chocolate and banana cereals with a glass of orange juice  for vitamin c Johnny  makes a mad dash to the bus stop. 
Johnny loves his home just your  average run of the  mill estate house each  built to conform to the same  design. 

Johnny  reaches the bus stop and waits inside the seating area which  used to have a really cool murial  of Marvel Super Heroes untill the  older kids covered  with offensive graffiti so the council  got fed up with the  complaints  and painted it back  to  its boring off white colour. 

I could go on  to decide Johnny s bus journey ,his talk with his friends about the latest video game; the kids at the back of the bus making  rude hand gestures to the motorists but that is  just far too boring. 

School is a series of big blocks of square rooms called class rooms in which  a person  normally an adult called a teacher  stands near a white  board talking about the  lesson of the day most are exciting accept  maths:and bit of a yawn feast. 

Johnny hated maths as it made his head hurt trying  to do allist that algerbra  stuff. 
In between  lessons was want to Johnny  referred  to call avoid the bullies; girls; smoking behind the bike sheds or as you  dear reader  call it breaktime .
Yes we all remember our time atogether breaktime as nearly  the best part ;the best  part was after more and more lessons yes repeating this part of the story as to Johnnyand products probably a lot of people it felt like Groundhog Day.

Dinner  was the  best time of day with pizza:chips:beans:roast dinner :strawberry custard :treacle pudding apart from  one dinnertime when  Johnny  eat a rice crispy cake that  was so hard it chipped his one his front  teeth on it.
Years later  Johnny would too grow to love  his chipped tooth as he believed  it give him an unique smile. 

Time ticks slowly and finally the school bell rang to sound the end of the day 
All the children stampede out like a herd of cattle :yes and American reference in b movie  westerns with John Wayne in the staring role.


Johnny was making his way  home when  suddenly around the corner appeared the usual gang of youngsters who love and live for to bully and tease and may grow up  to end up in a prison cell somewhere. 

Johnny was just about to  turn around to go alternative route but this was blocked  by a rival gang.
"Oh Shit"
Thought Johnny  in his head  for he realised he was in the middle of a  rubble  or Fight; brawl take your  pick. 

Then before Johnny was able to say Jack Robinson _Why this word i am unsure if you  think of a  better  one dear reader replace  it in your  head. 

The Fight. 
Fighting  is nothing like the movies or television, high kicks, slow motion moves  and the  hero  beating everyone up without  breaking a sweat it's more a kick to the groin area; if you be misfortune to had this happen  to you  your go down like a bag of spuds;a punch to the  face  or eye causing a bloody nose or a blackeye or a punch in the stomach that winds you and all really really hurts ouch.

Poor Johnny  was cowling in the corner awaiting the fight to quiet down so he could run away as fast as his little legs would  let  him

The daylight was losing its battle with the plutoniandarkness of night. 
The only thing breaking the darkness was the shiny Full Moon. 

From the corner from  which little Johnny  was hiding came a series   agonising screams and Crys of pain;the sound of breaking bones then  piecing howl.
All in those fighting stopped  in thier tracks  to see  what this could be when out of corner appeared a big black furred ;snarling teeth and huge claws looking  like half an child and half a wolf .
Before the  others  could  run away  the creature was upon  them ripping;clawing;biting each and every one :all that was left at scene was pieces of human bones flesh;no heads or arms or legs were ever found in the  remains. 

Johnny was late for his new term at his new school as his family  moved every  month  to avoid  suspicious minds thinking  thier were Werewolves.
