He called you a geek.
Funny, I haven't thought of you that way in a long time, and I'm surprised by the comment.
Then again, I think I know you a bit better than this loser.
As you tense and then relax ever so slightly, you shoot me an almost pleading expression.
I tell you to let it go, and I know that's the right thing to do here, but when a bit of steel enters your eyes, I know that's not going to happen even before I hear your words.
"No. Not this time."
Oh, we SO do not need this, but I hear the determination in your voice and I understand where you're coming from on this one.
You've been kicked around enough in this life to deserve to thrash this guy.
You deserve a little respect.
You earned mine long ago, but that's not the point.
If you need to do this, and I think you do, I'm gonna be right beside you.
As always.
You don't need my permission or my help, especially not right now, to teach these guys a lesson, but I give both anyway.
"Ok."
We can always blame it on the armbands.
