Luca was walking when a teacher caught him. The teacher called out to him as Luca tried to avoid her by speed walking away but he stopped. The teacher asked him why he was roaming when they heard a crash. Luca then hurried with the teacher and Luca stopped in the opening of the doorway to see a unconscious Asteria on the floor. He looked up at the person who was holding the chair. He could feel his body heating up. His face went from worry to pure anger. He was furious and he wanted nothing more than to hurt him. The teacher ran over to Asteria to check on her as Luca ran at the person who hit her. The teacher jumped up and stopped him.

“Stop! Luca! Do not make me page the school police,” said the teacher as she held Luca back.

The student who had the chair in his hands dropped it as Luca tried to get at him as he looked down at Asteria. He looked at Luca with a smirk but Luca ignored him and pushed the teacher away as he went to Asteria. He looked at Bray as he checked her head. Bray looked guilty as the teacher looked at his wounds and immediately demanded for the ones at fault to confess. They didn’t say anything so the teacher paged the school police and also the nurse. 

Asteria opened her eyes as she faced her mother who was sitting beside her as she laid in the bed. She got up and looked around as she was aware she was in the nurse’s office while her mother told her to slowly move.

“You might have a concussion so please be careful,” said her mother.

Asteria then grabbed the back to her head and winced, “That hurt like hell,”

“I bet it did,” said her mother as she rubbed her arm to comfort her.

“How is Bray?”

“The kid who was cut up?”

“Yes,”

“He’s fine. He was sent to the hospital. There was one cut that was deeper than the others he needs snitches,”

“Good to hear. When did you get here?”

“Not too long ago. I rushed here as soon as they contacted,”

Asteria’s mother looked at her as Asteria grew quiet, “Luca happened to be around and heard the chaos and rushed in with the teacher. The school police did nothing to punish those boys but don’t worry I’m going to handle it,” she continued.

“I see,” said Asteria as she leaned back.

“Listen sweetie you did good. I know it didn’t end the way you wanted it to but at least you stopped that kid Bray from getting hurt even more than he did and you also came out of that with just a bump on you head,”

“Great.” Said Asteria sarcastically.

Asteria giggled and then her mother giggled after her. Suddenly Vita and Florian ran inside the room. Vita hurried over and hugged both Asteria and her mom while Florian looked Asteria over for more wounds who grew immediately flustered as his hands were all over her. Asteria told him to stop before she got a headache and Vita slapped his hands so he could back off but Asteria then pulled the hurt Florian into a hug as soon as he started to sulk.

“We’re so glad you are okay,” said Vita.

“As soon as we heard we rushed right over,” said Florian.

“Word really gets by around here fast,” said Asteria to her mother.

“Where’s Rilynn and Luca? I would’ve thought they would be here too,” said Asteria’s mother.

“I don’t know about Rilynn but Luca has no excuse,” said Asteria.

Florian looked at Vita and then gave Asteria and her mother a smile, “Don’t worry I will go look for those jerks!” He said cheerfully before he ran off.

Florian walked out and closed the door. As he walked down the hall he looked furious. He then made his way to a hallway where Rilynn and Luca was waiting. He then stopped in front of them as Rilynn leaned against the lockers and Luca stood beside her.

“So when and where?” Questioned Florian.

“Those bastards go everywhere with each other. They walk the same way to school and back home so I have the location and we can do it after school today,” said Luca.

“Then we get them then,” said Florian.

Luca then turned to face Rilynn, “Remind me why you are here?”

Rilynn looked at him with a cold deadly glare and then she walked off. Florian told her that he would send the details. Luca asked Florian why Rilynn was helping and Florian sighed.

“I don’t know what goes through Rilynn’s head. Let’s just go see Asteria now,” said Florian as he pulled Luca along with him to the nurse’s office.

Luca, Florian, Vita, and Asteria’s mother were all inside the office with Asteria as Rilynn was no where to be found. Asteria’s mother looked over to the door thinking she saw someone but no one was there. She then went back to talk to the kids. Rilynn was standing outside on the side where they couldn’t see her and she snuck a glance at them. She looked at Asteria as she suddenly grabbed her head and winced. Rilynn clenched her fists as she watched as her anger grew even more than before.

Asteria was taken home by her mother for the rest of the day. The school day ended and Rilynn was with Seraphina waiting for Florian to message her. Serpahina was trying to get her attention by slowly taking her clothes off as they were inside the classroom alone. Rilynn looked at her and told her to put them back on. Seraphina didn’t listen as she walked up to her as she was wearing her bra and underwear. She rubbed her finger on Rilynn’s chest who suddenly grabbed her wrist.

“Tell me what you are planning with Luca,” demanded Rilynn.

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t act stupid Seraphina? I can easily break your wrist if you want.”

Rilynn then squeezed harder on Seraphina’s wrist. Serpahina pulled away, “What’s your problem? I didn’t agree to this,”

“Agree to what?”

Seraphina rubbed her wrist as she grew flustered, “You know what, I wouldn’t mind a little craziness added to our little meetings,”

Beep. Rilynn looked down at her phone and she got a message from Florian. She then ran off leaving a half naked Seraphina alone in the classroom. Rilynn hurried to the front of the school to find Florian and Luca. Florian was holding his Lacrosse stick and Rilynn smirked.

“I see you are prepared,” said Rilynn.

“Always. Vita got on the bus safely so let’s do this,” said Florian as the three of them walked off to find their prey .

Elsewhere in the middle of the street, the three boys that hurt both Bray and Asteria were walking home. The boy who hit Asteria was bragging about it as the other two laughed as he also made fun of how Asteria dropped.

“That bitch really thought she could just hit me and not get hit back worse,” he said.

“She must be crazy, Nicky” said one of the other boys.

“She must be, Colt,” said Nicky.

“Man I hope Bray doesn’t come back. His face really irritates me,” said the other boy.

“I can’t believe your father, Nicky, got us out of this,” said Colt.

“Well Colt and Jace, that is what happens when you are my friends with the sheriff’s son. No matter what you do my dad will be there to save the day,” claimed Nicky.

Jace then turned a corner before Nicky and Colt and was struck by a lacrosse stick right to the face. He fell back to the ground in front of a surprised Nicky and Colt. 

“Who hit her with the chair?” Rilynn questioned as she appeared beside Florian as he held his stick with blood on it with Luca beside them.

“I did. What are you going to do, Rilynn!” Said Nicky as he charged at Rilynn.

Luca then looked at Colt and ran up at him. He then punched him in the face sending him back while Florian looked at Jace on the ground who he hit before and he was bleeding from his mouth. Florian then flipped his stick and then swung at his face again knocking him out. Rilynn caught Nicky’s punch and then head butted him. He went back dazed as he lost balance.

“Damn they are weak as hell,” said Luca as he looked down at the knocked out  Colt. 

Rilynn walked up to Nicky and kneeled down at him, “Say you are sorry and we will go,” She said.

Nicky who was a bit dizzy laughed, “Are you serious? I’m not saying that. Bray and Asteria deserved...”.

Nicky was interrupted when Rilynn got up and grabbed his head and slammed it into her knee. Rilynn then threw him to the side as he was still awake. Rilynn asked for Florian’s stick and Florian gracefully gave it to her. Nicky then begged for her to stop but Rilynn then hit him in the leg. Nicky yelled out pain. Luca looked around to see if people were around and Florian noticed someone walking out their house. It was a older lady and Florian gave her a chilling smile and told her to “Please go back inside”. The lady then walked back in with haste. Luca looked at Florian and he looked like a different person as he looked colder opposite from his usual  happier behavior. Luca then turned to see Rilynn beating Nicky with the lacrosse stick.

She then stopped as she realized Nicky had enough and when the stick broke on his back. She tossed the pieces to the street and wiped sweat from her face. 

“Sorry about that Florian, I will buy you another one,” she said as Florian picked up his broken stick.

“Don’t worry about it. I have a spare and it was for a great cause,” said Florian with a impressed smile as he looked down at what they did.

“I feel like I didn’t do anything. My guy was out in seconds with one punch,” said Luca.

Colt then jumped up but Luca immediately kicked him in the face and knocked him out again, “Happy now?” asked Rilynn.

“Yes, very,” said Luca.

Rilynn then started to walk away while Florian and Luca followed her. The three of them were walking and Luca looked at Rilynn as he thought about Asteria. Rilynn caught him staring and he looked away. Rilynn kept looking at him but then she looked away as well as Asteria’s face popped up in her head. It was the rainy day where she was crying and Asteria was standing in letting her cry back when they were kids. Rilynn remembered that she noticed Asteria’s facial expression back then was the same as the one she saw on her face back at the nurse’s office, a face that a person would show if they felt not only sad but also defeated.
