mr prentiss jr hits me across the bridge of the nose with his fist but i do n't fall and he yells `` you piece of- '' and i swing my arm out with the knife in it and i make him jump back and i swing it again , water pouring outta my eyes from both the punch and the rain and he steps away from me , looking for his gun and limping a little and he sees it in the mud and he turns his body to fetch it and i 'm not thinking at all and i jump on him , knocking him back down and he hits me with his elbow but i do n't fall off and my noise is screaming and his noise is screaming .
