This story was originally written in 2009 after talking to someone about a female bully at my elementary school. No real names were used but similar situations were.
"I'm uh beat yo ass."
Everyone heard her say it. She didn't
even shout it. It was so quiet that even Ms. Washington, our
lunch lady, heard her. She dropped her spatula. My brother Anthony
started giggling. My girlfriend grabbed my hand.
"I don't wanna fight you, Tawanda"
I tell her. And I don't. Tawanda has a record that Mike Tyson
would've killed to have.
One time she broke a teacher's finger for taking her glitter
sprinkles.
"I don't care what you want,
Maurice" she says. "I'm uh break you in half."
"Leave him alone, Tawanda"
Anthony says. She looks at him and he takes a step back. "Calm
ya little fat ass down. I'll hit a girl." Tawanda drops her
sandwich and takes a step forwards. Anthony takes another step back.
"I'm just messin' with you, girl."
