Not exactly a revenge, more passive aggressive, but… here we go:

So the past few years I’ve been teaching my friend chess. A few weeks ago I was at a big tournament while he is in another, smaller tournament .During the day, at around five, his tournament is finished, and its his second tournament he’s gone to without quitting in the middle of it because he is losing. Most of the good competition is either in a team section or in the tournament I was in. So he gets a few points and a trophy. My mom decided to visit and he brags about his trophy, and his mom asks how I’m doing. My mom says: I don’t know, probably not too well.

Side Note: My friend, here, you see, really likes to show off and likes to see me as competition, and his mom has the same views and doesn’t really like me . The other day his mom insulted me and when I pointed out my friend did the same thing only in a more obnoxious manner, she completely denied it.

Anyway, I finish the tournament and get 3rd place, which I like to think is pretty good considering the top two were adults older than me. My friend comes over and brings his trophy, which is weird because he has no use for it other than to…show off, but here’s the thing: He comes to my house with a trophy to show off, and I’m not allowed to do anything because I can’t brag. Also who DOES that? Was he just trying to rub it in, because report cards came in 2 days ago or something? Heh, well, my trophy collection is very noticeable when walking into the door, and I casually stated I got a trophy too. It was hilarious seeing him pause and notice how his trophy was a fraction of mine. His eyes widen, and then he challenges me to play him, and I win.
