Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20160616153604/@comment-24934423-20160616161804

Being the weirdo masochist that I am, I jump up and down with my hand raised as I say, "Ooh! Ooh! Me! Pick me!"

Ms. Deryaka tries to ignore me. "Anyone else?" She is responded with silence from the rest of the students. "Anyone?!" Defeated, she sighs and glares at me. "Fine, come up and spin the wheel to decide your Punisher!"

I then run up to Gretchen and hug her. "I want this one!" I announce, to everyone's shock or dismay.

The huge Hellhound pinches my cheek as she tugs me off. "Kid," she huffs, "I'm not a personal Punisher like the rest." She grins cruelly as she adds, "If you want to spend time with me that badly, break some rules. Now, hurry up and spin the wheel!"

Irritated, I do some quick calculating. I then approach the wheel and pull it off its stand. One. I spin it around and launch it at the other students. Two. Finally, I turn to Ms. Deryaka and slap her. Three. "I want Gretchen," I say to her in a quiet, annoyed tone.

The room is silent. The pale/bloody faces of the other students, the stunned looks from the Punishers, the surprise in the huge Hellhound's eyes, and the pure, boiling fury in the Hakutaku's, all of them are priceless.

"So, you want her that badly," Ms. Deryaka says quietly, barely louder than a whisper, "do you?" She then gestures for Gretchen to approach, who complies with only a moment of hesitation. She places a shaking hand on the Hellhound's shoulder and says venomously, "Gretchen, I'm personally assigning you to be this young man's personal Punisher. I'm also granting you special permission to do as you see fit to him whenever he has any time to spare. Do I make myself clear?" When the Hellhound nods, she adds, "Good. Now, begone, and get him out of my sight."

As I'm walked off with Gretchen, she asks, "Kid, you just sold off your rights to having any peace here. Why?"

Once we're out of the principal's sight, I snuggle up to her and reply, "Because being with you is worth more than my having any peace."
