Rich shoved past a bunch of other people, many of them spitting all sorts of indignitions at him, he shot them a look of pure rage that made them scamper off elsewhere for the time being, perhaps to the punch bowl which by now was probably spiked by some smart alec.

He got right up in Erik's face and started screaming, not noticing that spit was flying out of his mouth he was so angry!

"KRIS IS MY GIRLFRIEND, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOURE DOING TOUGH GUY?"

"Rich please!" Kris cried out.

"If you must know the truth, kind sir, "Erik hissed, " I am taking her under my wing as you do not seem to be the providing sort, nor soulmate material."

If it were possible, laser beams or flames would have burst out of Rich's eyes at that statement, instead he took a swing at Erik, who promptly ducked. A crowd of course had gathered around, the teachers watching over the dance in the lounge probably for a few minutes on break so no one came to break apart the fight.

"WHO THE F ARE YOU?" Rich spat "IM GONNA POUND YOU! SAY YOUR PRAYERS!"

Erik snickered and that is what probably set Rich off. He sprang at Erik and the two boys fell to the floor pounding each other to bits.

"TAKE OFF THE MASK I WANNA SEE YOUR FACE. I WANNA REMEMBER IT SO I CAN DO THIS OVER AND OVER" he wildly grabbed at Erik's face and tore off the black mask and was going at his other mask, Erik was wildly trying to defend himself and avoid impending doom.

By this time someone had went and got the chaperones so they were all over Rick and Erik like white on rice. It was still near impossible to tear the two apart.

Rich dug into Erik's face trying to remove the mask or latex or however he did his face up so ugly, he needed to know who was trying to take Kris away from him. However a revelation was slowly dawning on him, but it was too hard to believe.

Now the gym teacher, Mr. Bliss had pulled the boys apart, and it took two male teachers for each boy to keep them under control.

"What is the meaning of this!" spat the vice principal, "I need both of your names, now. Who started this."

Kris stood in terror, eyes wide. This was the worst thing that could have ever happened during the halloween dance! She had been so worried about Rich but now he was ruining everything!

"Kris. It's up to you. Take your pick. It's me or him..." a flash in his eyes, "I'll tell the truth. I started it. But I still win..."

"Come on, lets get these boys out of here to cool off in the parking lot."

As they were pulled off in different directions, Rich screamed loud and clear for the entire gym to hear.

"THAT'S HIS REAL FACE! LOOK AT THE CUTS"

The whole room fell silent, the teachers still dragging the two boys out. There was a nervous pitter, and then soft laughter, it was intoxicating and contagious.

"Take your pick Kris, now or never."

Kris fretfully looked at Erik, and then followed after Rich.
