She flared up and glared at the bigger boy; who stood like a brainless bully like all other brainless bullies. They had no brains compared to her, they could only puff their chest and stand tall –it was another matter that very few people were taller than her. Shrugging she put her beanie over her very short, dark curly hair. A rather loud slam on her face and her beanie vanished from her head.
‘That will look better on me.’ said the boy and put it on.
‘Yes you seem to need it more than I do.’ Replied the girl rudely.
Three of the boys surrounding the first boy came over and pushed the girl hard, and she fell on the mud. She got back up again caring tuppence that her boy’s black denims and “Children of Bodom” tee was muddied o the point of distraction.
‘Nice way of thanking.’ she said, ‘Now Billy Johns mind your business and buzz off.’
‘Pathetic little thing!’ said Billy, ‘Poor gangly weakling who is too scared to fight! Baby of the family.’
‘Nice!’ smiled the girl, ‘You can write a whole essay on me. Eh Willis?’
‘You pathetic little………’ Billy trailed off.
The girl chuckled and turned around taking her books in her hand.
‘Rapscallion!’ screamed Billy.
The girl laughed and started walking away.
‘With your idiotic brothers. Those two enormous freaks who simply rot whole day.’
The girl stopped, her hands clenched at her sides as the big boy and his gang of seven more boys started the annoying chorus of calling her brothers “freaks”. Her jaw muscles jutted out strangely and her cheek bones looked higher if that was possible. Her few friends who usually kept a safe distance from Willis Johns gulped at her sight.
The booing of her brothers continued for a minute till a soft voice hit their ears, ‘You can say anything you like about me but you better say nothing about my brothers.’ And before anyone saw her move –Billy was on the ground covering his nose. As he took away his hand; the others could see a bloodied and broken nose.
There was a sudden silence, in the noisy playground as everyone looked from Billy to the girl who was shaking in anger, before everyone else on the ground pounced on her mercilessly.
