---
They're always telling me violence doesn't solve anything.
It's too bad they don't know that I know better, and not just in the teenaged angst sort of way.
Sometimes violence is the only tool for the job, and I do believe this situation calls for it.
This kid is bigger than me, and I know he thinks he's got me beat.
Hell, everyone here thinks he's got me beat.
Except me. And that's all that counts.
I know this thug, and I'm tired of him.
I'm tired of his insults and his arrogance.
He picked the wrong beanpole to push around today.
I wipe the smugness from his face with a closed fist.
His eyes widen in surprise for a second before my feet take his out from under him.
He lands on his big butt in front of a legion of cheering uber-geeks.
I feel like a hero.
And I got to tell ya, it feels damn good.
Adult hands pull me off my deserving victim before I can deliver the witty remark that I'd been saving for this moment, and I know what's coming, but I couldn't care less.
I'll gladly serve a week's detention for this one.
