Lurked trp for a while, and know how to navigate in social interactions. What I can't handle yet is bully situations.

I'm a male in my second school year studying retail and once again I've been put in the same class as the mean clique (classes don't dissolve after lessons but remain the same in this school). There are three girls that think they're all it, rest of them don't bother me or are actually pretty nice. Girl #1 is someone from around my area (school is in a different bigger city) and we have a lot in common. After getting burned by playing nice guy last year I no longer view her as friendly and generally don't care whenever she calls me out on something. Girl #2 is the worst one. She is the typical spoiled bitch type, fat and loud. I haven't attacked her on this yet and am wondering how I should handle her.

Subject:

1st year she was always kind of a bitch but not to this extent yet. She found me an easy picking quite early on and I was a disaster. This year I had planned to handle everything differently. Shortly before summer break my friend redirected me to TRP and started lifting, changing my game and knowing where to put my energy and where not to. This has worked fairly well so far and I am interested as to what result it may bring given more time.

This second year, though, she thinks I am even worse than she originally thought and starts being even more of a bitch. This one time we had a test and she wanted to come sit next to me to cheat I flat-out told her I'd rather not have her and my friend was going to sit next to me, and dismissed her. This must have been as grave as me proclaiming her parents are monkeys, as she started teasing and later on bullying me. At some point that same class, after being very annoying, I straight-up told her I didn't like her and would rather not talk to her anymore. This triggered the desire to throw a fumbled ball of paper at me. I merely dismissed this as childish behaviour, but I regret not doing anything at that time.

Nowadays she survives her school days telling my buddy and I we're ''nerds'' (because we get significantly higher grades due to more effort on our part), a name-calling as ancient as rainbow afro's, and being generally extremely annoying.

Girl #3 is just a hot girl who has never been told no and just follows #2 in her bully behaviour. She doesn't pose a threat.

What I am afraid of is her embarrassing me in front of the class, which has been a very big fear for me throughout my entire school career. I realise I shouldn't care about that, but I do. My relationship with the rest of the class is fairly decent however, and I have several people I can rely on. My grades are great, so I don't worry about her making fun of that. I am afraid of the bullying itself, and want nothing more than to destroy that in one fell swoop.

My question to you is; how can I accomplish this? I've considered many things like spitting my gum in her face or give her a bloody nose with a nice punch. I think I will need more solutions based on what circumstance might be in order.

Thank you

Edit: Considering the helpful comments my own solutions were rubbish. It'll amplify the negativity towards me instead. Going nuclear seems like a good option. Once the opportunity presents, we will see.
