“You take that back.”
“Or what? What are you gonna do?”
Fists balled, Jessie glowered. “I said, take it back.”
Though Joshua Woods was a lot taller and wider than Jessie (who was already fairly tall for his age), Jessie’s rage made the older kid take a half-step back. Though that didn’t last long, as Josh closed the distance and pushed at Jessie. “I don’t think you’re in any position to make demands, you spoiled ass. Why don’t you and your family, just leave before you make things worse. Or maybe we should just wait a little longer, I’m sure your mother will-“

Josh cried out and stumbled backwards, holding hid nose. “You punk! You’re dead!” Josh leapt forward, swinging at Jessie and soon the two teens were on the floor in the hallway, rolling around and throwing punches at each other. Others students gathered around and a couple even tried to break up the fight but to no avail.

Laxeth, Zineth, Brisv, and Kupi were trying to make their way to their finance class when they were stopped by a huge crowd in the middle of the hall. “What’s going on?” Laxeth, the Tellarite girl from the market, asked as their small group got stopped at the edge of the crowd. Kupi, having the height of his Naussican heritage peered over everyone. “Hey it’s that kid, from the market. Jez or something. The Ambassador’s son. You remember.”

Brisv nodded, “He said his name was Jessie. What’s going on, Kupi?” “Looks like Josh was being hateful and unaccepting again and someone finally stood up to him.” Kupi laughed. Then waded in, “Some get the principal.” He waded through the crowd, pushing people out of the way. He reached into the forray getting punched kicked and jostled. “Knock it off! Come on you two, quit it.” He spotted a familiar face, “Ghampeq! Help me.” The tall Klingon waded into the group as well and soon they each had a hold of one of the boys. “Come on, knock it off before the teachers get here. HEY! hit me again and I’ll hit you.”

Jessie was not one to fight, but he was so mad right now! And just fed up with it all. But he also wasn’t stupid. Even as Josh tried to reach for him, the fight in Jessie faded as he took in the Klingon and Nausican. He held up his hands and tried to break free. “Just let me go. I don’t even want anything to do with this jackass.”

“Go ahead and keep it up, Mathis. Just you wait,” Josh said, wiping blood from his nose.

Jessie wasn’t all that much better as it looked like several of Josh’s punches landed, including one right at his left eye. He rubbed his chin. “You’re such a coward. You’re not even worth it,” he growled.

Josh lunged towards Jessie, forgetting he was being held back. Jessie tried to take a step back, only to back into the broad form of Ghampeg.

Kupi grabbed for Josh in a bear hug that, despite how mad he was, Josh couldn’t get out of. Ghampeq set a hand on Jessie’s shoulder. One to steady him and two to steady him. “He’s not worth it,” the Klingon confirmed and there was muttered agreement from those near-by.

Jessie seemed to deflate a little at Ghampeq’s touch, but he now had a bit of a dilemma. He wanted desperately to just run out of the building, but everyone was watching. And for the first moment since Josh had gotten in his face, he regretted throwing the first punch. But only a little. A very, very tiny bit.

“Enough.” said a sharp and wholly unmistakable voice.

At the crack of that voice, Kupi and Ghampeq stepped back from the two other boys. They knew better than to try and slip back into the crowd. They’d already been seen and it would be in their worst interest to try and slink off.

Mrs. Falway had been a teacher at the high school as long as anyone could remember. A diminutive Aqellian woman, she was a personality that few dared contradict. In her time at the school she had garnered a reputation as a stern, strict, and uncompromising teacher who expected… nay… demanded… the best from each pupil. Her history and civics classes were the hardest in the school; but those that did well in them tended to do very well in academics at higher levels. She had taught future politicians, Star Fleet Officers, CEOs, and even a celebrity or two. And everyone, student and faculty alike, either respected or feared her.

Usually both.

“You two.” she commanded with a pointed finger at Jesse and Josh. “Explain.”

“He started it,” Jessie muttered. It was petulant and childish, for sure, but it was also true. The anger swirled around again and Jessie lifted his head, the bruise around his eye seeming to get bigger by the minute. “He’s been in my face since I got here and I only just started at this school.”

“He hit me!” Josh said, furious for a whole lot of reasons.

“I got tired of his crap and when he went on insulting my mother, I hit him.” Jessie shrugged.
