During the whole class, Henry kept his eyes on Jeanette but, he didn't talk to her. Simon noticed Jeanette looking uncomfortable and he also noticed her covering her neck with a hand but, he didn't think to much of it. When the class ended, Simon was getting ready talk to Justin but, he then decides not to because he had a feeling that Justin's brothers would intervene so, he decided to wait when Justin was alone. Simon approaches Jeanette who was packing her bag but when she sees him, she tells him "um Simon, I prefer to walk to my class alone" this took Simon by surprise and he tells her "um, sure" she then thanks him and walks away. Simon was hurt that she didn't want him to walk her to class but, then he persuaded himself that she just wanted to be alone to think.
About two hours later, the second class ended, so it was now time for lunch. Theodore was in the boys locker room changing alone like always but, as he finishes changing he hears the door open so, he looks to see who it was and is horrified to see all three of the Marley brothers approaching him. The green clad began to shake as he felt like mouse surrounded by three rattle snakes. Theodore quickly puts his backpack on and tries to make a run for it but, Justin grabs him by his hoodie and shoves him on the ground making him hit his back on a trash can. "Going somewhere?" asked Justin as his brothers stood next to him chuckling. Theodore ignores the pain on his back and gets up. "What do you want?" he asked in a shaky voice. Justin gets on his face and questions him "do you remember what I told you yesterday?" Theodore looks from to Armando and Henry standing next to their brother before looking back at Justin. "Yes" he replied. Justin puts his hand on the boys head and says "well, did you break up with her, yes or no?" Theodore was expecting to receive some punches when he answers his question. "No and I won't do it, I love Eleanor and you don't love her. You want her for something else and I don't want to know what it is" The grin on Justin's face goes away and is replaced by an angry evil look. "I see, well I'm sorry to inform you that, you'll never see your girlfriend after this day ends" said Justin as he rested a hand on Theodore's head.
The green clad removes the hand before saying "you leave my Ellie alone, or else" Justin looks at his brothers and gives Theodore a fake scared look. "Oh no, what are you going to do to me if I put a finger on your Ellie?" asked Justin. Theodore was scared but, he stood his ground and tells him "I'll tell the principal and my dad" the Marley brothers look at each other before busting in to laughter. Their laughs were like the laughter of demonic Monsters. "Oh Theodore, you don't get it do you? I won't just get my hands on her but, I'll make sure that you won't leave this locker room without having all of your bones broken" with that said, Justin slams his knee on Theodore's stomach making him drop to the floor and then Henry picks up Theodore by his hair and slams his fist on the boys nose. Next Armando grabs Theodore traps him in a Nelson headlock as his brothers begin to punch the boys stomach and face. "Hey Henry, go get some toilet paper from the bathroom" commanded Armando and Henry nods before leaving to the bathroom that's inside the locker room.
Meanwhile, Theodore felt that each blow, was like a sledgehammer attacking him unmercifully. "LEAVE MY BROTHER ALONE" someone suddenly shouted which came from the door. In a quick second, someone turned Justin around and slammed their fist on the guys jaw. Justin drops to the floor and holds his face as his attacker turns his attention to Armando holding his little brother. However, the attacker didn't know that Henry was approaching him from behind. "Hello Simon" the attacker heard his name before feeling a hard punch slam on his spine, paralyzing him for a few seconds. Simon drops to the floor and gasps for air as Henry and Justin begin to stomp and kick him. Theodore tries to go to his brother but, Armando wasn't letting him move.
After five minutes of getting beat up, the three brothers were satisfied and Henry takes out the taser gun. He points at it Simon's chest and says "Listen to me loser, don't you ever put your hands on any of my brothers again because if you do, I'll kill you, this fat boy and your older brother named Alvin and while you all are dead, I'll be having that sexy chick of yours, all to my self, just like yesterday" Simon who was in the ground, didn't know what Justin meant so he questions him "you mean Jeanette? What have you done to her?" Henry chuckles at Simon's pain and says "let's just say that, she doesn't love you anymore and she loves me instead" Simon couldn't believe what he heard and says "no, you're lying, I know that Jeanette still loves me and I know that she would never be interested in a coward like you" Henry chuckles again and says "well, this coward got something from her that you'll never get. Besides she's to good for you, she deserves someone like me who can show her what is like to be with a real man. Also you can't have her all to your self" Simon felt like puking when he heard that. He tries to get up but Henry tells him "Aaah, don't make me use, because I won't just use this against you, I'll let you little fat brother get a taste of this as well" Simon doesn't move as he glared at Henry.
Suddenly, Simon saw something on Armando's neck which looked familiar to him. "Hey, that's Theodore's necklace, give it back" Simon tries to get up but, Henry stops him by kicking on the ribs. Armando chuckles before taking the taser from Henry's grasp and pointing it at Simon. "Listen nerd, I don't really know you, I only know your brother Alvin but, if you tell ANYONE, what we did to you and your brother, I promise you that you will regret for the rest of your worthless life, you got that" Simon nods. The Marley brothers were proud for themselves and they walk away before, Henry kicks Simon on the ribs once again. Theodore glances at Simon and he could tell that his brother was more injured than him. Theodore struggles to get up trying to reach his brother. "Simon, please say something" said Theodore. The blue clad slowly gets up and approaches Theodore while limping. Simon helps his little brother up and says "Theodore, the situation between you and Justin is more bad than I thought. Those three guys are dangerous and we have to warn others but, right now we need to head home" said Simon before coughing up blood. Theodore was shocked to hear that because Simon wasn't one of those boys that skip classes. "Why?" asked Theodore. Simon grabs his backpack that was on the floor and says "Theodore, look at us, we can't be here in these conditions, because we will receive questions by others asking what happened to us and why are we bleeding, so we have to go home and to treat our bruises and cuts" Theodore now understood and says "oh okay, I just hope that one sees us leaving" Simon was having a hard time breathing but, he still manages to say "don't worry, we can get out through the emergency exit that's located at the back of the gym. I'm sure no one is there during lunch. By the way, I will text Jeanette to let her know that you and I went home, that way Alvin and the chipettes won't be waiting for us after school" with that said, they went in the gym and were lucky that no one was there. They went to the emergency door before getting out and making their way home.
