When i was ...12-ish?...i had a friend. she was a 'bad girl' to coin the phrase.

We rode the same bus...and I was playing around, squirted her with some water on her way by me. Her sister sat behind me a few minutes later and started calling me names, etc. I ignored it, for the most part. I already had a rather low self-esteem, so..I really didn't care.

Next day, she sat behind me, started in with the name calling, etc. Then she hit me in the back of the head.

Now, if you say a bunch of word to me..I really could care less. Hit me..that's another story completely. I turned around and wailed on her..I threw punches, she ripped out hair. Somewhere along the way..I blacked out, next thing I knew, I was on the ground.

I got suspended from the bus for 2 days...she, after saying that I had pulled her hair (when I was sitting infront of her..yeah right) got suspended from school for 2 weeks.

Every once in a while as we got older..she'd call me a name, but she never again hit me.

The ultimate revenge was walking in to her work, snerking at her, and making her ring me out (at a 7-11).
