A group of jocks looking for .

Looking behind you, you see about half of the women's basketball team for your school staring down at you and Dana with varying expressions of amusement, anger, and nervousness. You don't have a good feeling about any of this, no matter what expressions they had, and apparently Dana isn't to keen on it either, as she turns around, leaning over the back of her chair to stare back at them.

"Unless you've got somethin' to say, beat it, I'm busy." A few of the basketball players scoff at her, and one steps forward. You recognize this wiry, fit, redheaded girl as Janine, the team's captain, flanked by her two friends and star players, the tall, dark, and boisterous Denise and the short but quick and clever blonde named Kara.

"I'm gonna try and make this quick, cause believe me, I don't exactly love talking to you either." Janine starts, getting a derisive snort from Dana. As flippant as she's trying to look, you notice Dana starting to bristle a bit, and you strum softly on the edge of the table hoping this ends soon. "We're getting a little sick and tired of you running around like you own the place. We were willing to... overlook you pulling the alarm while we were in the showers a few months ago--"

"I don't remember doing that, or anyone proving it was me," Dana says offhandedly, looking at her nails.

"--and looking back, I regret letting you pick on some of our new recruits, because yeah, maybe it was a little funny--"

"Ooh! Which time, when I got that redhead to tear her skirt off in the middle of class by dousing it in itching power, or the blonde I got stuck halfway through the chainlink fence by the football field?"

"--but we gave you a warning after we heard you took the cheerleaders', uh, took parts of their uniform before one of our games--"

"You notice how they weren't kicking or flipping much that game," Dana says with a wink to you conspiratorially, and you chuckle nervously, as you notice some of the jocks narrowing their eyes at you, causing you to shrink back in your seat.

"And yesterday was the last straw," Janine finishes, crossing her arms.

"Oh, come on, I haven't done anything to you guys in like, weeks," Dana says.

"No, but you did something to Amanda." Janine pauses, and narrows her brow further as Dana looks blankly at her. "Amanda Heller?" Dana shrugs and shakes her head. "Little sister of me, Janine Heller?!" Dana pauses at this, but just shrugs again.

"Ok, whoops. But... so?"

"So!" Janine says, "So you're going to stop messing with us or else!" And Dana actually laughs at this, elbowing you as she does.

"Yeah?" Dana asks, slowly rising from her seat and fully turning to face them. "Or else what?"
