Calm Adam Down

You look up to the Bully. Then sock a strong fist into his face.

“What the Fuck are you doing!” You yell at the Man.

Adam reels a few steps back. “What the hell!” His voice is noticeably deeper. “She had it coming.” There's a pleading tone in his voice. That's his weak side. Immaturity.

Your group of friends move around Cloe to be between her and Adam. When she sees that she’s free, she leaves through the other end of the hall.

Adam takes a threatening step for you. But you give another punch to his face. This time drawing a bloody nose.

In the next moments Adam, in reflex, gives his strongest punch into you, knocking you ****. —————————————

It’s a stiff bed you wake up in. Felted by thick plastic that sticks to your exposed skin. You can feel someone sitting near you, holding an ice pack to a sore bruise on your temple.

Blurry vision, then getting clearer you see the vice principal, in a stool, trying to sooth the bruise. His voice has a high tone when he asks, “How are you?” You mumble something about being fine, you’ve had worse. The principal asks you questions to treat a concussion, then stands up, and leaves the small room you are in.
