Ender's Diary Entry #2

Dear Diary,
Remember that boy who was hitting me on the head while we were all in the shuttle? Well, I hope you do because I broke his arm. It was an accident! I really didn't mean to, only a monster like Peter would have done something like that purposefully. Like I said, it started off with him hitting me on the head. I had never done anything to him, never even seen him before and there he was, repeatedly hitting his hard fist to my head. I thought if I just waited and didn't react he would finally get bored and stop tormenting me, but that wasn't the case. I just got really annoyed so when he tried to hit me for the umpteenth time, I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of his seat. He went flying into the wall of the shuttle that separates the passengers from the captain. He hit the wall with his right arm with so much force that he broke it! This sounds like quite a difficult feat but, it was actually quite easy. The fact that we were in zero-gravity helped me a lot. But I hate how it helped me. I broke a boy's arm before we even arrived at Battle School and now I feel terrible and I immensely regret what I did. The boy's name is Bernard by the way. When we start our training he'll just get even madder because he will have to be held back while his arm heals. Well, at least people leave me alone now, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted my beginning of Battle School to be positive because I know that the coming years will be difficult. I wish I had never agreed to do this.
Sincerely,
Ender
