Anon dislikes hornets

Everyone is allowed childish, irrational fears. Some people hate clowns, others spiders, water, etc. For me it's hornets.
be me
senior in high school
a mistake in scheduling sophomore year led me to end up not taking a mandatory sophomore level science class as a senior
alright whatever
it's the last class of the day so that's good at least
spend most of the time sleeping and dicking around
ace all the tests anyways
It should be mentioned we were learning about biology and insects of some kind or another at this time, which prompted this.
Some kid says he caught a giant fuck hornet and that he should bring it to show in class teacher says this is a great idea
I loudly voice my concerns
my hatred for the creatures are well documented
am ignored
I hear the foreshadowtron firing up in the background
NEXT DAY
in seat
kid walks in
has the biggest fucking hornet I've ever seen
not as in "biggest I've ever seen in real life" this was literally bigger than any picture or video I've ever seen of a hornet.
panic mode on standby
kid brings it up to the front of the class and the teacher starts talking about hornets and stuff
I can't even focus
the hornet looks pretty docile at least.
"Shake him a bit and see if that wakes him up"
I make an insightful comment about why that is a fucking retarded idea
I am ignored
hornet does wake up, and it's pissed
kid forgot to secure the lid of this shitty plastic container
HORNET FUCKING PUSHES OUT THE LID AND FLIES OUT OF THE CONTAINER
kids scream
teacher says in a firm but calm voice "Nobody panic"
she has the situation under control
I do not
Hornet flies straight toward me
NOW IS A PERFECTLY GOOD TIME TO PANIC
FIGHT OR FLIGHT ENGAGED
FIGHT MODE ENGAGED
bolt up, scream obscenities and throw my fucking desk at the thing
misses entirely, skips off another desk and wrecks the kid who brought it in
books and papers fly fucking everywhere
whiteboard falls and takes out the front row of students
the hornet's buzzing shifts from "I'm about to be angry" to a higher "I am completely fucking angry" buzz
FLIGHT MODE ENGAGED
teacher screams "ANON CALM DOWN"
"FUCK THAT"
football tackle through the group of children crowded around the door and bust it open
hear the cracking of skulls on linoleum
turn left and run out of the school, into my car, and drive home, still in blind panic
NEXT DAY
walk into classroom through noticeably broken door
everyone in class has horrible bruises on them either from where the hornet stung them or from being caught in the collateral damage of my escape
kid who got hit by the desk isn't in class, find out later he had to get a neck brace
dead fucking silence
everyone is staring at me
say "I don't like hornets"
sit down and pretend nothing happened
Fucking hornets, man
