Example:

No one could tell how Randy was going to be from one minute to the next. Sometimes he was almost nice; but usually he was in a bad mood and hard to get along with. Anything could set him off.

Yesterday morning before school was a perfect example. Sue and Julio were coming in from the bus talking and minding their own business. For no reason, Randy yelled, "Hey stupid!" to Julio and then said something to Sue only she and Randy heard. Whatever it was, it embarrassed Sue and Julio said something back to Randy. That is all Randy needed.

It looks like Julio would have known to just keep his mouth shut. Everyone knows how Randy is. I don't want to repeat what he said; but you could hear him screaming all over the building.

When Mr. Miller arrived, Sue was crying. Julio was on the floor holding his head. Randy was standing around acting like the whole thing was Julio's fault.
