A girl started speaking. "Sure beats putting on show after show and not having anything to show for it."

Ron swung around to his feet, grabbing the guy by his belt and hurling him down the hall. Another guy tried to jump his back, but he carried his momentum into a back kick and the second flew away.

They weren't teachers, these four. They were drama club kids. That's supposed to mean there into putting on plays. In Mid City, that means they're just constantly trying to sew the drama in school. And if they were hired by who I think they were hired by, the bad times haven't even started yet.

When Ron advanced on the fourth, the other three grabbed him. They wrestled him over to a window of the class and promptly threw him through it.

And everything seemed to be going so well.
