Leo, Dan and Sam were eating their lunch in peace, until Leo's cousin Arthur walked up to William. Arthur was a big bully; he was on the football team and was really buff, he also failed senior year.
William, Edward and Benjamin sat at one table at the edge of the cafeteria. Arthur walked with his team of bullies behind him-one of them being Jason-, heading for William's table.
'So, William, I saw you ogling my cousin in the hallway this morning,' Arthur said. 'I don't like people doing that, especially a Ridley. So my friends and I are going to teach you a lesson.'
Arthur gestured to his goons; they lifted William by the shirt and dragged him outside the cafeteria and into the hallway. Leo was sitting at a specific angle, so she could see exactly what was going on.
One of the football players hauled William up against the wall and Arthur came up to him, grinning widely. Arthur murmured something and then punched him across the face. Another punch landed on his stomach. He continued punching William; very soon he was knocked out. When he was limp they let him go and he crumpled to the ground. Arthur and his friends snickered off, leaving him unconscious in the hallway.
Leo was so angry and disgusted. She shot up from her seat and walked over to where Arthur was sitting. She slapped him and shook her head in disgust. Leo ran out to the hallway and knelt by the unconscious William, Leo sort-of had a reputation of being nice.
Leo shook him until he came into consciousness. William's gaze focused as she put his arms around her, helping him limp to the infirmary. Nurse Samuels was sitting by her desk, eating a sandwich and filing accident reports.
When William and Leo came limping in the young nurse rushed to them.
'Oh my god! What happened?' Nurse Samuels screamed.
'Arthur beat him up,' Leo said.
The nurse rushed William to a bed and began putting all sorts of ointments on him. After awhile she stood up and walked over to Leo.
'Is he okay?' Leo asked nervously.
Nurse Samuels looked worried. 'Well -ah- I can't tell you anything right now. I'm going to call his parents; meanwhile I think you should go back to class.'
Leo nodded and headed to her next class, Science. Thankfully, Dan had taken her bags for her.
'Is he okay?' Dan asked.
'Yeah,' Leo replied. 'Nurse Samuels is phoning his parents.'
'Better not let them see you; otherwise it won't turn out so well.'
Leo nodded and walked in. They were assigned partners; unfortunately Dan was with Billy Carmichael and Leo was stuck with Jason.
As they were listening to Ms. Kitty's- yeah, weird name, - instructions Jason asked, 'So, why did you help that Ridley kid today? He's such a wimp.'
'I helped him because he's actually a nice guy, unlike you; who beats up a defenceless innocent,' Leo replied coldly.
There wasn't any more talk after that; they just mixed their highly toxic chemicals and got it over with. When the lesson was finished they headed outside when they saw bright ambulance lights.
They were about to go see why they were there when two paramedics rushed past them with William on a gurney with lots of gadgets attached to him. Leo and Dan stood there, shocked. Two people walked past them; a man and woman, the woman was weeping.
Leo was so angry; she walked up to where Arthur was grinning.
'You are a buffoon!' She yelled, slapping him across the face. 'You disgust me!' She slapped him again.
Leo stormed off, walking past Dan and into her class. The rest of the day carried on normally, without any disturbances. She also decided to cancel Jason and hers date.
