1. When your arch nemesis keeps looking for your trouble.

2. And you are just looking at her like:

3. And all her friends now join her to mock you and look for your trouble.

4. Now your head is getting hotter and hotter.

5. And before you know it you are abusing her like:

6. Then she says after school you people will see.

7. Now during maths you are calculating how many slaps it will take to make sure her mouth is swollen shut.

8. And imagining how you will fight without tearing your school uniform.

9. Your own friends are busy sending you notes of encouragement.

10. After school you meet each other face to face for the real deal.

11. Then you realise that she’s actually taller and fatter than you thought.

12. Then she lands the first blow and you think this might be how you die.

13. When she lands another one you decide to help yourself by “fainting”.

14. Before she will use her big hands to kill you for your parents.

15. When you get home your siblings laugh at you like:

16. Meanwhile your mother is shouting at you because your uniform is dirty.

17. If not that you survived a near death experience you would have fought all of them.

18. But God is good, you faint today to fight tomorrow.
