you were in a class when a student barged in.

“There’s a fight in the hall!”

she yelled. Soon after everyone rushed to the hall to see the commotion. You followed, finding a large crowd of students. You push forth, trying to see what’s going on. A teacher is holding someone by their arms. Ezekiel. Your heart skips a beat.

everyone knows Ezekiel as the aggressive troublemaker. He’s bleeding and bruised, the other student on the ground. He saw you, and his expression softened.
