A rough draft of a short story to be submitted for class. I'll admit, I was tricked into writing this. Originally it was to write about the worse date or a fight we had once been in (guess the professor knew better than assume everyone had been on dates). So well--yeah. I started as writing it from my end. Then at the end of class the professor said, "Now write it from the other person's point of view... but make us empathize with them."
I didn't know how to go about this in any traditional way because I really did hate the guy. Needed to reflect on my feelings about the whole thing. And plus, it was too much of a stretch to make him a sympathetic character without coming off as ridiculous. So I figured, how could I make the reader hate the victim just as much as the aggressor? So I ran with that.
So the goal was not sympathy for the devil, but understanding where he was coming from. For better or worse.

I'm not sure you nailed the brief of making me empathise with him; what you have done is something else again. What I see (and feel) when I read this is an excellent insight into how the more dangerously intelligent but morally bankrupt people think. This person would make an excellent villain as they explain and justify their actions and lifeskills with ease, without ever reflecting on their own psyche.
Well done, this is a brilliant bit of work!
On a side note, it is the oldest of our enemies that are the hardest to defeat. School so often is a poor educator of social cohesion. We all learn that adult life after school really is no different, but we only learn it afterwards. If only we are taught the truth of how to deal with these things while there.
Worst advice I ever got was "ignore it and it'll go away" and "don't let them see your reaction, that's why they do it". The proper advice should be to punch them in the face the minute they aren't expecting it. We don't have to win, but we DO have to fight.
Indeed, I found peace only after I confronted them back at school. The worst of them I could never catch alone for a fair fight (he led a pack of thugs) so I belted him in the head in the middle of class, in front of the teacher. The principle asked me what I had to say for myself when I faced 10 lashes with the cane.
"Worth it."
Never got hassled by that kid or his cronies again.
It has been pleasing to know that they were all dead-heads and 25 years later none of them did well in life
