Confrontation

Another day another class, it’s early in the morning and Kyle is currently at his locker tidying up some stuff preparing for class. He thought about the events with Dana yesterday, from them making love in the showers for the first time and their later date at the Two Whales. They chatted a lot about different topics such as school, Dana’s past and his very own past, his life before attending Blackwell

This morning, Kyle had agree to meet up with Max and Kate in the mess hall not just for breakfast but to also properly “introduce” Dana to their little group minus Chloe. He snickered.

Maybe one of these days they will have to meet up with Chloe too. Not to mention he still owed her greatly for assisting in hooking him up with one of the cheerleaders in this school. He is forever grateful for Chloe and has promised to repay her.

Kyle lets out a sigh shaking his head thinking about the blue hair punk. He then yawned as he finished preparing the contents needed for later’s class.

“Man I really need to get a cup of coffee at the mess hall.” He said to himself looking through the mirror. The hallway was considered quiet aside from a few students with no teachers even the principal as it was still early in the morning. The quietness soon disappeared as he heard loud footsteps and they were getting louder and louder as it was coming towards him.

Kyle looked at the mirror. He noticed someone, it turned out to be Logan, he was furious, his hands rolled into a fist rushing towards him. Kyle instantly knew what was this about.

He slammed the door of his locker, turned around. Logan was about to strike him when he suddenly grabbed Logan by the collar, lifted him and slammed him against the locker next to his.

Kyle pinned him with one of his arms. He raised his other hand rolled into a fist. Logan tried to get off him but he struggled. He looked at Kyle who glared at him.

“What the fuck do you want?!” Kyle demanded angrily. “Can’t I get some peace in this early morning?”

Logan was obviously shocked, he was used to bullying other students and this time the role had switched. He looked at the boy who pinned him, the new kid in school who was considered a loner but was smart enough to stay out of their way, he never expected anything like this before.

“Ask yourself!” Logan mustered his courage and snapped back, trying his best to act brave. “I saw you and Dana yesterday! I saw you two holding hands.”

“You fucking creep!” He turned around and cursed silently before turning back and glared back at Logan. “Yeah so what?”

“So what? Dana’s mine!” Logan continued, his voice still frantic.

“Forget about Dana. She won’t get back to you, she told me about how YOU abandoned her.” Kyle raised his voice. “Besides, didn’t you wrote a letter telling her that she doesn’t deserve you? Chicken out from responsibilities and now bothering her again? Are you a man?” He continued in a mocking tone.

Logan eyes went wide. “Th- that’s non of your business!” Logan tried to break free from him again but to no avail.

Kyle threw a punch. Logan’s eyes went wide and he immediately shut his eyes preparing for the inevitable. He didn’t feel anything. Instead, he heard a loud metallic bang.

Logan opened his eyes, his body was shaking. He realized that Kyle’s fist had instead landed on the metal door just inches away from his face and it would have hit him if it had came anymore close.

Kyle smirked and thought to himself.

Kyle was angry, but he tried to keep his temper down as he didn’t want to start a fiasco and escalate the situation in the early morning even though he could easily beat him up with ease. He was itching for a fight and all he need right now is Logan to give him a reason to do so.

He calmed himself down eyes still glared at Logan. His mouth opened about to snapped back at him when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“Kyle!” The voice said. It was a female voice.

Both Kyle and Logan turned to see Dana. Beside her were Max and Kate and the girls were a bit shocked to see Kyle in the way he is. Max and Kate were no surprise to Kyle when he mentioned about knowing some stuff that he taught himself back when he was still young and lived in a rough neighborhood when he was living in a different foster home.

He even offered to train them a thing or two for self defense but they declined. They never seen this side of him before and this is their first time.

“Kyle, let him go!” Dana ordered.

Kyle ignored Dana at first, he turned back focusing his attention to Logan.

“You heard her man! Just let me go!” Logan said voice still shaking.

“Kyle, just let him go. I just wanted to talk to him please.” Dana pleaded.

Kyle was skeptical, he was worried about Dana.

Dana noticed the look on his face, she understood that Kyle was worried about him but today, she needs to end this with Logan once in for all.

Dana stepped forward. “Please Kyle, it will be fine. I promise.”

Kyle lets out a sigh, he slowly unpinned his arm from Logan, he slowly pulled his fist away and stepped back.

“Thank you Kyle.” Dana said.

Kyle didn’t respond, he just looked at her and Logan, preparing to respond if Logan decides to lay a hand on her.

“Dana… I…” Logan begin, scratching his head.

Dana slapped Logan across the face. Her actions shocked everyone including Logan himself. Logan held his cheek in pain in disbelief while Kyle, Max and Kate gasped.

Dana was in pain, she didn’t want to come to this but she had had enough.

“Logan.” She said. Her voice oddly cold, opposite to her usually cheerful self. Both Kyle and Logan had never seen this side of her before, let alone Max and Kate. They stood silent, sensing the anger in her voice. Dana raised her voice a little, her tone was still cold. “We are over!”

“Dana…” Logan said silently looking down ashamed. “I’m sorry.”

Dana will never forgive him, to her Logan is dead to her. Dana closed her eyes for a moment before opening again and spoke. “If you are truly sorry, leave me and them alone!

“I wouldn’t hesitate to tell the principal or even press charges against you.” She threatened. “And I Don’t. Want. To. Do. This so don’t **** me.” Dana continued looking into Logan’s eyes, determined and angry. This time she wasn’t playing around and she will do anything to not just defend herself but also her new lover and friends.

Dana always had the aura of a big sister who sometimes gave him and Max advices on a lots of things regarding their relationship. Right now, she is like a mother who is willing to do anything to protect her new lover and her friends.

“I’m truly sorry Dana.” Logan said still cupping his cheek. “I promise I won’t bother you again.”

“You better.” Kyle walked towards Logan. He pushed Logan against the locker again, this time grabbing him by the throat. Logan struggled trying to get off him.

Kyle pointed at him and said. “If I found out that you try laying a finger on either, Dana, Max and Kate. I’ll make sure that you won’t be able to play football for the rest of your life.” He threatened. “Besides, isn’t there a game coming soon? Wouldn’t it be a shame if something bad happens such as your arm or leg being broken?” He continued.

Logan’s eyes went wide. “Please no! No, man! Don’t do it.” He begged desperately. An absolute 180 degrees different from his bully persona.

“Kyle!” Dana hissed.

“Consider this a warning then” Kyle punched him in the stomach hard and retracted his hand away from Logan’s throat. Logan collapsed onto the ground holding his stomach in pain while breathing heavily.

“Come on let’s go.” He said to the girls walking away towards them. “I’m starving.”

The four walked towards the mess hall, Kate who is standing next to Kyle slowly hold his hand. She noticed there’s something wet and looked down. Her eyes went wide.

“Kyle.” Kate said worriedly stopping in her tracks. The other girls followed.

“Yeah?”

Max picked his hand up, it was bleeding. A result of Kyle previously punching the locker door hard in order to intimidate Logan.

“Huh, didn’t see that coming.” Kyle said trying to act normal even though he could feel a bit of pain. He looked at his hand, opening and closing it seeing if there’s anything.

“Does it hurt?” Max asked, just as worried as Kate.

“I’m fine. But now that you mentioned it, it’s starting to get a little pain.”

“Kyle, I know you’re trying to help us and Dana but don’t ever do it again” Max said still worried. “You’re gonna get hurt.”

“Relax sweetie, I’m alright” Kyle tried to assure his lovers. “Besides, I don’t mind getting hurt as long it’s for all of you girls.” He turned around looking at them. “Not to mention assholes like him deserves to be roughed up.”

“I know.” Kate sighed. “But promise us don’t do that again. I really can’t stand seeing you getting hurt like that.”

“I promise you. All of you.” Kyle said firmly looking at his lovers.

“Right, but for now I think we better go to nurse’s office. Can’t just walk around with an open wound.” Dana said her motherly instincts possibly kicking in. “Then we’ll get something to eat.”

“Agreed.” Max nodded.
