Evidently you weren't afraid of snakes. They can stay away from me. I do know that grass snakes are harmless but I still don't like them. I'll keep reading your saga. Love to read the story of your life.

It sounds like the kind of bullies that we had in school, sad to say that most of them that I knew did not amount to very much of anything, I will enjoy reading your stories.

    Thanks for the review. Bullies today are mean, in my day they were more practical jokers.

I do like this story Patricia. Glad you suggested it. Your writing is fluid and clear. Good thing you knew is was a harmless garter snake, but still it took courage to wrap it around your arm. LOL we used to catch those things all the time when we were kids in Michigan. I got bitten a few times - doesn't really even hurt - it's like a pinch. You are a good story teller. I enjoyed this

You have a very interesting and basically well written story. I see a couple of problems:
In the paragraph starting "As the boys came to the picnic ... ...Kathy and a two of her ....": the "a" in "and a two" looks like a mistake.

You have a problem with commas. They are missing from some compound sentences, and they are sometime used when not required.

Small errors in a very good offering. Cheers.

Well written story that depicts for macho high school boys the very last thing they want spread around about them is that they got bested by a girl!

That, undoubtedly, would bring much embarrassment and shame down on "Robert".

Interesting choice of final essays.

This was a delightful read, Pat, that was one over the top to know how sophisticated you were in handling that big bully, Robert. Good, Pat, you showed him, & think it might of help change his life around. I like how you described everything, leading up to that snake incident & too, how you were strong, even though those covered knees were shaking, while wrapping that snake around your arm..So Deserving of a six, so will come back here & reward you for this one on Sunday, & replace this 5 with one.

Thanks for sharing...Caressa

This chapteer is gorgeous: the boys bully the girls but you wanted your revenge on Robert about a previous event. And you were not scared of this snake as you knew it was harmless.

sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do it was time for that bully to grow up and stop with his instigating scaring the girls and calling them names

I love This chapter very much and how the beauty of the park looked to you.
you were a writer long ago.
The best part is how you outsmart the bully.
Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you for the nicereview. This is one of the few stories I did not lose memory of when I had a traumatic happen when I was 19. That trauma event comes up in the next chapter.
