ninjagirl

i met ninjagirl on my fifteenth day at junior school.

it happened midway through what was quaintly called a lunchbreak, when a gang of snarly goons cornered me in the hallway and demanded my shiny things. familiar with the ritual, i dug into my pockets to give them up.

ninjagirl, however, had noted their playground antics and took their enterprising ways as a personal insult. when the leader advised her to mind her own business, she quietly skewered him on her sword and held the other two by their ears.

“apologise to creepy now!” she hissed. “or i’ll rip out your intestines and offer them to him as a token of your remorse!”

nowadays she’s not so eager to defend my pockets as she is to raid them.
