Aaron Drake: Icarus Academy

Payback

So Jason has a bad habit of calling me fat to provoke me. Sure, I'm a little chubby. But not anymore *eye roll*. But he's fixated on that time where I was.

He's been calling me fat since 8th Grade, and I didn't say anything because I'm very peaceful, a bit of a pacifist. But by 9th Grade, I had had enough.

The next time Jason made a fat joke, he said:

"Don't put me in front of that 500 kg boy"

I replied,

"It's worse for me, you're so black that you stand out too much in front of the white paint."

I got a lot of laughs from everyone, and I totally humiliated Jason, who was black. Not that I have anything against black people, you're all awesome, I'm not even a racist. Jason's not black either, just really dark skin.

He couldn't complain either, because I could just retaliate by saying he called me fat. From then on, anytime I heard a fat joke from him, I replied with a black joke.

"There is no dark side of the moon, it was just Jason's face blocking the way."

"Jason, you're fat too, it's just that black is slimming"

"I'm sorry no one can find you at night"

"Hey Ariana, don't turn the lights off we'll lose Jason"

"Did you go swimming in black paint? It shows."

And those were just a small fraction of all the jokes I made, and people really liked them because Jason finally got his payback.

The next payback I got was on Shane. So one day, Ash shows up with these memes about Shane and his poor dieting abilities. Shane is fatter than I ever was. So, I took the print-outs Ash made and texted them to everyone in the grade. It was super fat people, with Shane's face on them and the jokes. It was actually Dana's idea.

Naturally, Shane turns everyone (meaning all his friends) against me, and complains to our homeroom teacher, Mr. Blackbeard, even though he has NOTHING to do with it. Then Mr. Blackbeard makes ME apologize because I got payback on SHANE'S shit for 3 years. As if I would do something like that.

But according to 3 of his friends, he cried. Satisfaction.

I don't care what they say, revenge feels great.
