The night where I got punched in the face

KO

by a kid...

Last night, I chaperoned a school dance. I also agreed to dress up and help scare students in the haunted hallway.

Who knew it would be so dangerous?!?!

I was standing behind one of the curtains that lined up against the wall waiting for kids to come through. It was actually set up really nicely. They even had fog machines and lots of Halloween decorations, creepy sculptures, lights and a pretty good spooky soundtrack.

I was already at my station for about 15 minutes and I expected some pushing...I know, when I'm scared I hit. That's why I don't go to those haunted mazes and parks during Halloween...I'll fight someone. You just have to be honest with your self and admit that you can't do certain things. I hope this kid realizes that he just can't do scary.

So, I'm waiting, and a couple times kids were all "don't scare me." so I just hung back behind the curtain. Plus, it was kind of impossible to see through the mask I had on...

Then this group comes through and the girls are squeeling and there was this one kid. I noticed him earlier and I thought, "whoa. is that kid a high schooler?" Also when I got there, 2 kids tried to take the mask off one of the other teachers and totally scratched her face because the mask is this cheap stiff plastic. So I expected some reactions. But this kid...this kid was walking through yelling "don't scare me or I'll punch you in the face!" I was all "ok." and then I went flat against the wall. But this kid is punching his way through the hallway and clocked me right in the face. He hit me right on the nose and my upper lip and pushed that mask into my face and it fell off. I admit I was like "oh hell no!" I was like "who punched me in the face?!?" I come out and it's that kid! He's tall and hefty! He's all "oh...sorry." I'm like "no, you don't punch going through." 

I took him out and told this  teacher and this guy did nothing. I turn around because no one told me what the protocol was to deal with this and I was pissed. I turn around and the kid is walking away laughing. I grab another teacher and luckily he totally gave that kid a talking too.  Thank goodness because honestly, nothing happened. That kid was still there dancing it out til the end of the dance. I also think some of my colleagues didn't believe me. At one point once of them said "oh he said he was patting the walls." I'm like my lip and nose wouldn't feel life this if he was patting the walls. Sorry, no. That sucks but whatever. I don't even think he was supposed to be there. Anyway, I think that's the last time I'll be chaperoning a dance for a while.

It was a fun idea but if you have people getting injured...not such a good idea.

Now my upper lip and my nose feel weird and are slightly swollen. Luckily it's not noticeable but geez man..if you can't handle being scared why are you going to go into a haunted hallway punching at the curtains like that...Just stay out.
