Jimmy and Cindy tried to keep their eyes off the screen. They didn't need to see this, they had lived it. They heard Eustace snickering at their cowardice. Jimmy used every ounce of his self-control to keep from knocking him out.

Two hours later the movie was over. Jimmy and Cindy let out a sigh of relief. Everyone else stood up and yawned. Mr. Fitz strolled over to the door.

"I have to use the restroom. I'll be back in a few minutes," he said before leaving the classroom.

Seizing the opportunity, Eustace spun around and stared at Jimmy. "So, too scary for you?" he sneered.

"Shut up, Eustace," Cindy told him.

"You're such a pussy, Neutron. Too scared to watch a little movie," Eustace continued. Everyone gathered around him.

"Maybe you've forgotten what happened last year," Jimmy quietly reminded him while clenching his fists.

"What, that your stupid little friends-," he started.

Jimmy jumped up from his seat. "Don't you ever insult them! They were the bravest, kindest kids in the world, and you know it!"

"Too bad you weren't smart enough to save them, then," Eustace said with a grin.

"Eustace, leave him alone," Jason said.

"Yeah, even I wouldn't go that far," Butch told Eustace.

"Aw, Neutron is too scared to stick up for himself. Just like he was too scared to face that killer. You're always running, Neutron. Always run-," Eustace was cut off by a punch in the face, courtesy of Jimmy.

"You better shut up," Jimmy told him.

"You think you're tough, Neutron? You couldn't even stop the killer yourself! Your little girlfriend had to kill him for you!" Eustace said while blocking Jimmy's next punch and shoving him into several desks.

"Guys, don't do this," Mike said while Jimmy and Eustace started fighting. Soon the entire class was trying to pull Eustace off of Jimmy.

"What is going on here!" Mr. Fitz angrily shouted as he walked into the classroom. He stared at his bloody students.

"We were just," Cindy tried to explain.

"I don't want to hear it! All of you, two hours of detention after class today! And no more food! You will write an essay for the rest of the day on why fighting is wrong!" Mr. Fitz continued.

For the next six hours the class sat in complete silence, working on their essays. Everyone glared at Eustace. They had lost two hours of their vacation thanks to him.

"Detention is over. I am very disappointed in all of you. Now get home," Mr. Fitz angrily instructed the students.

Everyone said their goody-byes and headed towards the school's various exits. Cindy and Jimmy walked to the front door.

"Not the best way to start off the holidays, huh?" Jimmy asked.

"Nope," Cindy said while shaking her head. "It's weird when the school's empty," she went on. Jimmy just nodded and continued walking.

Jimmy ran a little ahead of Cindy and went to open the door for her. But when he pulled on it, it wouldn't budge. Both of their faces fell.

"Is it?" Cindy asked as she grabbed the other door and pulled as hard as she could.

"Yeah," Jimmy whispered as he ran back down the hallway, towards Mr. Fitz's classroom. Cindy was right behind him. They got even more scared as they saw several of their classmates do the same thing. The seven of them met in front of his door.

Jimmy turned to Cindy before turning the doorknob. "Think this will end well?"

Cindy gulped. "Does it ever?" she told him as he opened the door.
