This thread reminded me of The 18th Emergency.  It’s a short-form fiction about a nerdy kid who doodles a lot, usually by drawing arrows to stuff with funny captions. One day he draws an arrow pointing to an ancient hominid because it reminds him of the school bully, only the bully sees him do it. So the whole book is about him trying to figure out a way out of getting beaten up, because he and his friend spend their time planning on ways to get out of emergencies like lying down in quicksand or shoving your arm down a lion’s throat. They have 17 scenarios planned so far, hence the title. It’s a quirky coming of age book with a weird sense of dread, and unlike a lot of stories where you think the bully will get his comeuppance or something, the main character does indeed get the poo poo beat out of him.
