Chapter 16

After the next exam.

Confrontation in the hall

At Marks school they have 6 classes per semester. During exam week they have two exams each day until their final exams on Wednesday. After their last exam each day they're allowed to leave early. This means they get out of school around noon. After the last exam on Wednesday they have a month long winter break. Mark had just finished his last exam for Monday and was heading to his locker to grab his stuff before meeting up with Kate. At his locker, Mark was pulling his stuff from his locker when he heard someone walk up behind him. Then he heard someone say "Hey shithead." Rolling his eyes he turned around. Staring at him was Jake, a muscled up meathead who just happened to be Erin's current boyfriend. Along with Jake were a group of his jock friends. Jake shoves Mark up against the lockers.

"I heard you were the one who brought attention to my girlfriend, you piece of shit." Jake angrily says.

"Dude, everyone was already staring at her, I was just the first to laugh." Mark replied.

A crowd of students was slowly forming around them. Seemed that they were expecting a fight.

"I don't fuckin' care, asshole!" Jake yelled, "No one laughs at Erin!"

Jake clenched his fist and start to swing his at Marks face. Mark immediately stopped time. He looks at Jake's fist which is about 6 inches from his face. Getting an idea, Mark concentrates. He begins to start and stop time in quick succession. He dodges Jake's punch and from his point of view it looks as if everything is moving in slow motion. But from the other students point of view it looks like he's moving impossibly quickly. After moving out of the way he starts time for good and watches as Jake smashes his fist into the locker where Mark's head had been. Jake screams out in pain. The crowd stares on in shock. Fueled by rage, Jake swings back around and tries to hit Mark again. Once again doing the "slow-mo" trick Mark easily dodges the punch. He dodges three more hits with Jake getting more and more tired. The crowd is now laughing at Jake's failed attempts at landing a punch. Jake is clearly too exhausted to continue the fight and he says, "You better stay the fuck away from me." "No problem." Mark replies. Mark leaves the crowd disappointed at the lack of a real fight and heads towards the principals office.

What's next?
