[ Chanton High School, your average shitty public high school. It was a Wednesday evening, sitting in last period with nothing to do, scrolling your iPod for anything to listen to. There were two tickets to Iron Maiden in your bag- meant to be a surprise for your now-ex-boyfriend- for the concert on Friday night. ]

You had your bag over your shoulder before the bell even rang, quickly pushing through the classroom door and making your way down to the south hallway to meet up with some friends. When you find them, you're quick to notice they're definitely talking about something interesting.

"There's a fight in the boy's bathroom..!" Hailey informed you with a faint laugh, watching as the door bumped open from the tussle, the yelling and taunting more clear before the door shut again, it was pretty funny honestly. It also attracted a small crowd circling around the bathroom, some other guys debating on stepping in to get a better look but not wanting to alert school staff. "Couldn't have waited?" Chloe said sarcastically as she turned to you with a humorous expression, holding her phone up, casually recording. "Literally last period, take it outside at this point guys."

You threw in your own quips too, but your jokes didn't last long before recognizing the voices. Your ex-boyfriend, Nick, more specifically.

Without explanation, you dropped your bag at Chloe's feet and marched towards the bathroom door, forcefully pulling it open to see Nick violently pushing Elijah against the stall, causing it to swing open with a bang. You went to middle school with Eli; he was always pretty dirt-mouthed and hostile, from what you were told at least. Nick was usually all bark, so this is shocking to say the least. Maybe yesterday's breakup had something to do with it...
