"IN YOUR FACE" moment of the day

Bonjour,

It's time to pull a Wayne's World and go back in time to.. the Friday before last.

Gym class.
We're playing volleyball and I got put onto the team with this boy, D, and you know. Hes this type that thinks he a biiit more awesome then he truly is. This goes for sports too. And, trust me this boy has enough physical.. size that he is obviously not awesome. But, let's get to the issue. So, we're playing 4-on-4 teams (which works because then its funner) and the rotation is really simple. 

It's a square.

YET, he is convinced that every time we move he needs to inform me of where to go. 
"Kevin, move forward."
"Kevin, move back."
KEVIN, KEVIN, KEVIN.

It's kind of this thing where its like GAH, fur realz? Do I look challenged? I can go in a SQUARE. We all take geometry for Christ's sake!! 
He also has this complex that he is hands down the best person on the team.. which isn't saying much because everyones basic approach is to simply directional smack/set the ball over the net. They have control but, the form is off so I won't complain. Yet, D, thinks himself above the conventional rules:

1) Play your corner
2) Don't run around the court
3) DONT LEAVE YOUR CORNER

He thinks that wherever he is needed is the right place to go. If someones there he won't hit just move in that direction. Leaving his area open and as an easy point for the other team. He also is the weakest smack/setter because he either:

1) Hits it waaaaaaay off the intended course
2) Tries to hit it when its obviously going behind him ending in it just being tipped and spins above him
3) Generally sucks

As you can tell I'm generally sick of this kids I RULE attitude. So, today when i was stuck on his team again for volleyball with 6 person teams this time I managed to STFU him. With this:

(He continually ignores the useful pattern and moves into the middle [where I and another person already are] and causes us to lose many a point. I finally move into his spot and a ball goes right where I was)

Him: "KEVIN, YOU'RE MIDDLE."
Me: "IF I'M MIDDLE THEN WHY ARE YOU STANDING NEXT TO ME?! PICK A SPOT!!"

-silence-

Mission accomplished.

Haha, niiiice.

I always have way more fun playing volleyball with girls, because they always refrain from yelling at me when I step on the court! Haha, guys in my class are terrible, so I'm thankful we're usually divided while playing sports. xD
