"Ok, the coast is clear…" said Il-Ho
That was about the fifth time that the five of them had said that. They had been able to stay away from Brandon all day. And now, the day was over, and they made their way to their lockers so they could finish off the first day.
"Good. I think we've done pretty good for today…" said Sam-Ho
Nabi said "Yeah, but what about tomorrow, or for the rest of the year…?"
All five of them looked at each other. He was right. But they tried to keep positive though. Maybe he would drop out or fail at the classes and leave. But they realized that it was pointless because that probably wouldn't happen.
"Well, maybe we could tr-…" But before Doki could finish, all of a sudden about 12 students ran down the hall as fast as they could. They could hear them say, "Oh man, not again!" and "He's at it again!"
Being the curious bunch, they follow the students. They actually ran for a while, until they reached a corner, where they could hear something going on behind the corner. Nabi accidently forgot to stop and stopped in the middle of the opening and froze in place.
There was a large crowd of students standing around looking at what was happening. There were a lot of people in his class and many others who weren't. He could also tell hat the people more inward were moving, possibly to get out of the way of something.
But Nabi wasn't focusing on the amount of students. He was focusing on what was going on in the middle of the students. The reason on why he froze in place. "Why?" he wondered. "Why now…?"
There were two people in the middle: one who looked a little shorter than Doki, and one who seemed faintly familiar. And as he focused more, he could se a 7th grader being beaten up by Brandon, and could faintly hear them over the students.
The Jjintta and Doki also realized this. They also saw Nabi frozen in place. They thought he was scared for a second, but then they realized that he was thinking, just like he had that morning. Just when they were about to suggest that they leave, they heard him say:
"Hey!!! Let him go!"
The entire hallway fell quiet.
