Haha, this reminded me...the top dog of my grade in my previous school was also the second shortest kid in class (the other short kid was a docile Asian). Damn did he have a silver tongue, he was like the boss of all the bad kids. And I used to just be there quietly beside them thinking how cute he looks being a mini boss. lol (the girls used to adore him a lot too since he treated all the girls in our grade as sisters...though he was quite tough with boys haha)
I started calling him a mini Hitler at one point and it stuck.
