Mahmoud: A New Student In Middle School

Decent Essays

When I was in middle school we had a new student in my class, his name was Mahmoud, he came from Syria and made fast friends with me and the other kids, due to his talent in soccer. All of us except a kid named Tyree, He didn't like mahmoud and decided to bully him but mahmoud stood up for himself, and we backed him up. Eventually tyree quit picking on mahmoud. Mahmoud later mahmoud tells me how tyree occasionally picks on the 6th graders, I tell him that what he wants to do about it, he tells me back in his country the government would pick on the weak which is why is family had came here, he told me he doesn't want to see that again and will get back at tyree. I told him not to do anything stupid, like fight him but he said he doesn't have …show more content…

Mahmoud kept bombarding the house with pineapples that tyree’s family had to install camera, but Mahmoud figured the blind spot and kept going. He even mailed a box full of pineapples to tyrees house for christmas, from a fake address. I honestly couldn't believe he was really going with this, the guys and I were incredibly impressed with mahmoud's determination. We began overhearing from Tyree’s teachers that he’s begun to fail classes and he even has begun skipping school. Mahmoud bombarded the poor kid with pineapples for a year. Eventually we graduated, Tyree wasn't around and Mahmoud and I said our goodbyes and went our separate ways, “Godspeed that crazy bastard” is what I always say when I think about
