school bully. Id shift if I were you!
Yeah, but you arent are you? I replied, perhaps a little less
confidently than I would have liked.
Are you going to shift or not? she glared, as her shadow covered
me entirely.
No! I said. Im sick of you and your gang of dum-dums trying to
frighten us into doing what you want. Youre pathetic, thats what
you are.

I remembered everything Mr Loco, my karate teacher, had told

Stay calm Sophie, stay calm. Let them do the work for you. Dont

punch and threw Martha on to the floor.
Her gang stopped in their tracks, unsure of what to do next.
Ready for some more? I asked. Or are you chicken like I
thought you were?

Well Done!
