    I was playing handball during Recess and then a guy throws a ball at my face, he then started to laugh because the ball was wet with mud. I picked up the ball and threw it back at him but it missed, which made him to laugh even more. I then walked up to him and pushed him. After that, I continued to play my game until I got out. He started snickering again, and I got mad, I went Super Saiyan 5 on him, and sacked him in the stomach multimples times until he cried. Both me and him were suspended.

    I was playing handball in my backyard until I accidently tripped on a curb since I was in slippers which made me bleed.

My brother drove me to emergency room where I got stiches and I was stable.
