Operation Payback
Operation Payback
Theo Baxter had always been the quiet kid in the back of the class, doodling wild inventions in his notebook while everyone else chatted about football or the latest video game. He didn’t mind being overlooked—most of the time. But when Freddie and his gang of bullies decided Theo was their new favourite target, things took a turn. They laughed at his sketches, hid his lunchbox, and once even replaced his calculator with a slice of cheese. Theo didn’t cry or complain. Instead, he calmly added their names to a growing list in his notebook titled Operation Payback.
Theo wasn’t the sort to fight back with fists. No, that wasn’t his style. He was clever, creative, and—most importantly—patient. Sitting in his room that evening, surrounded by pencils, scraps of paper, and the odd broken gadget, Theo stared at the page of ideas he’d started to sketch. If Freddie and his gang thought they’d get away with humiliating him, they were sorely mistaken. A sly smile crept across Theo’s face as the beginnings of a plan started to form. It wasn’t quite ready yet, but one thing was certain—when Theo got his revenge, it would be something the school would never forget.
Theo plotted his revenge all night and by the next morning he was ready to strike. First, when Freddie wasn’t looking, Theo slipped Laxatives in his drink. A moment later Freddie bolted to the toilet but little did he know, Theo had clogged all toilets in the school with paper towels, so they were all shut. Freddie ran out the school as a last resort and headed for the nearest bush, but Theo was outside for gym and reported that he was running away. Teachers ran after him and after a short pursuit Freddie was captured. While he was being held down by the teachers. The Laxatives kicked in. Theo watched from afar with an evil grin on his face. BEST REVENGE EVER!
