There was a chubby girl who got bullied a lot on my high school water polo team. I used to stand up for her when people harassed her, but she clued in on my social awkwardness and thought that she could capitalize on it via gossip to push me beneath her on the totem pole. It never worked because she was so fucking obnoxious.
I wanted to punch her. I fantasized about it for years but never followed through. I was too afraid of disciplinary actions damaging my college applications. Still, I should've at least confronted her or stood up for myself, but I never did.
One of my most beta moments was when the team was doing a drill. Basically just floating in a triangle and rapidly passing the ball to each other. I missed the ball and went after it, but she broke off from another group and grabbed it before I got there. Made eye contact with me and then threw it about 24 yards further away.
Instead of doing anything about it, I just swam after the ball while she just floated there mocking the look I gave her. Even at 17, I felt like she was too old for that.
Enough years have passed to the point where this shouldn't matter, but I still wouldn't mind punching her today.
