Haha thanks XD. Well, I guess looks aren't everything... I have been asked out once or twice, but I was unsure of their seriousness.
If you like, I'll tell you a story of a particular girl........

Ok, here goes.
SO this is when I started yr10, Sept 2014 - when I first started too. In English class, my teacher (the best English teacher I ever had btw) had me sit next to a particular girl. Let's call her X - to maintain her privacy..
She sat near me in science two years prior, but we rarely talked, and until now were essentially strangers. She happened to be in all my science classes this year too, though not next to me.
She was slightly obnoxiously talkative, but friendly at first. She made me draw a KAYV LAYAN in class once, to demonstrate my art skills, then she went on to rant about how my drawing was crap, then said that she was kidding and that it was good.
One day, our teacher had play a game of "Speed dating" i.e. having us move around the class and compare notes on the analysis for OMAM(book). I had read up a bit prior to then. Lazily, I started to compare notes with X, before moving elsewhere to compare them. When we sat back down, our teacher picked at random students to tell him who's points were the best that they had seen. Twice he chose kids I had visited, X included, and they said mine were twice.
Jokingly, my teacher said "You're a lady's man, Hamza 
I can't remember how, but at some point she playfully acted as if we were in a relationship. At first I shrugged it off, but then she continued to act like we were together. He group of (somewhat)bitches would always pretend as if I was with her. I would avoid her at all costs.
Once, at lunch I had to finish some artwork in class, and she was hanging out with some of her art student friends there, and approached me, forcibly flicked through my book, against my wishes to view my work.
"We have a love-hate relationship you see." she said to her friends, to which I weakly responded "Yeah, because I love to hate you".
In class she would try to snatch my stuff, and annoyingly sing up close to me, and attempt to silence me when I tried to argue with her or tell her to shut up. Several time she would always criticize me for speaking so quietly - I have a real insecurity about my low volume while speaking. When I went to lessons, I was occassionally chased by her. Once I had to forcibly close a corridor door on her to prevent her from getting to me.
She would touch me when I made it clear that I didn't want her to.
Once, we were lining up outside of science class, and I was speaking to my friends in line, trying to ignore X's presence She crept up behind me and started to run her fingers along my back. I do not like being touched, especially not tickled. I tried ignoring her, but I ticked, and swung round and punched her in the torso. It wasn't hard- I wasn't, and am not, very strong, but it definitely contradicted the "don't hit a girl" shtick that runs around. My friend was a little taken aback.
In my head, I was interested in Ancient Persia at the time, and in ancient history in general. The year before I was into griffins, dragons and the Inheritance cycle.
I fantasized about a fictional world that I could invent.. in which there was a Persian- like empire. I think we need more ethnically diverse fantasy characters, and an Alagaesia-like setting wouldn't be bad.
What ever it was, it would have to have characters that could shapeshift into KAYV LAYANZ for one thing. who happened to look and behave exactly like me. Other extinct animals would exist too.
There also had to be a particular method of execution practiced. In a round colloseum, there would be a dividing wall. At the base, there would be a small arch-shaped gap in the wall allowing a person's head to fit through. The victim would be laid down, and their head on one side of the wall, and the rest of their body on the other. Their limbs would be tied to stakes, to prevent movement. On the body-side, guards could harpoon the person with arrows or whatever.
But on the head-side, stuff gets important.
So basically, in Ancient Rome, Carpophorus was a gladiator who allegedly got a giraffe to rape women by covering women in female-giraffe blood., altering their smell. Now, I wasn't about to make no giraffes rape nobody.
This gave me the idea. You would cover the person's face with the blood of a prey animal, say a chalicothere (they exist in this world), and unleash a starving Hyaenodon horridus to the head-side of the wall.
The creodont would hungrily devour the victim's face, which smelled of chalicothere blood. In theory, that is. KAYV LAYANZ might not be suitable, since they'd use their claws far too much on the person's face- and I want a teeth-on carnivore.
I fantasized about being an emperor of that empire, and condeming her to that punishment. She would see me through bars - me being safely behind them, puzzled and telling me to help her. I would smile, and in a made-up-language of the empire, I would communcate instructions to the guards, who would obey. Then I would smile. She would have no idea what was happening, until the peers over to see the gate on the colloseum walls open and a Hyaeonodon walking out towards her. She would frantically call for help, but I would not oblige. Guards would harpoon her, perhaps, but the bit would be the face eating, which I would relish in watching.
The audience would cheer for it, And as Emperor Hamza, I would whip up the crowds.
That would go great on a CV, btw, it would show good leadership skills, y'know.
Yeah, I'm generally a really nice guy, unless you get on my bad side.
Now, in my journal at school, I used to make plenty of doodles of this kinda stuff, and sometimes classmates saw and were puzzled.
Once I explained the procedure to some close friends. One of them approached me quietly, overwhelmed, and said I should read the Qur'an(I was a Muslim then).
The next year (last year of High school), I was still sat next to X in English, albeit with a different teacher. Now, this time, X snatched my journal from em, and began seeing the doodles I had made. She was disgusted and expressed her distaste before returning it to me.
What I hadn't told her is that the person having their face eaten in the doodles was meant to be her. Had I told her, I have no idea of her reaction.
In that year, I started re-watching Brother Bear, and though how awesome it would be to be a bear. Then I though about how I could severely beat up people who annoyed me as a bear - X included.
You may remember this
. It's an e-mail from March 2016 that I sent to be posted to me in a year's time.
So I actually cropped the e-mail to only show the first paragraph- paragraph 2 had the names of friends etc. that I didn't wish to reveal. I'll adjust it and show you the important bit written immediately below what I show in the deviation. So I talked about how I would miss everyone after finishing school
I'll miss (Insert friends here) and the rest of the crew. X must be killed, however - I must turn into a cave lion and eat her face. Or a Grizzly bear and beat her against a wall. Or someone else could be a Hyaenodon and do it. Nice. Or I could punch the creature's face. That's a few of my suggestions.
I might post some of those doodles here.
