{ONE NIGHT}

*THIRTEEN*

{"She doesn't like you!"}

Finney's pov

Monday, September 12, 8 am {School}

I was in the hallway with Maliea and Savanah, waiting for the school bell to ring. The entire time Maliea talked, I'd be admiring her laugh and smile. Corbin was walking over to us, his eyes flashing red. "YOU FUCKING PRICK!" He screamed, making other students in the hallway look over at the chaos unfolding. 

"What?" I was confused. 

"You know what, don't act dumb. Maliea is what." He turned to look at Maliea, her eyes widened at the mention of her name. 

"I'm not up-to-date with this, what is going on?" Savanah asked, concerned. 

"I've liked Maliea for a while, you don't get to waltz in here for three weeks and get close to her!" 

"Dude, you have to be joking. Everyone in the group can back me up on this, she doesn't like you!" I raised my voice back. For some reason, I could tell by the look on his face that his heart had just broken into a million pieces. Not only that, but he had given me an evil grin, something was about to happen...

"Fine! Let's fight then, the winner gets her." My eyes widened, but I shook it off rather quickly. I was confident I would take him down. I killed my kidnapper with a phone cord, I could take this fatass too. 

"Wait guys- this doesn't have to happen! Please, Finney, don't do this.." She tugged on my sleeve, practically begging me not to fight him. Savanah sprinted towards the nurse's office, disappearing. He threw the first few punches, but then I started swinging. Cheers could be heard around me, screaming too. It all happened so fast, that at one point Maliea stepped in front of Corbin pleading with him to end this whole thing. Only to be pushed into a locker, her head colliding with an opened locker door. 

"Maliea! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" I turned to her, tugging on her shirt only to be thrown into her by Corbin. He started repeatedly punching me over, and over again, almost enough for me to pass out until we heard voices call out that made me look up. 

"GUYS STOP!" We heard mid-punch. Standing in horror behind the crowd stood Mya, Dimitri, Savanah, and Gwen. 

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Mya screamed, as Dimitri forcefully grabbed Corbin trying to get him off of me. Blood was everywhere. Gwen helped me up, while I tried to regain my breathing. 

"I was defending myself, and this raging lunatic came over to me and went psycho on me just because I like Maliea!" Maliea!? I frantically looked over to see Maliea who had a bloody nose and was just laying there. Savannah and Mya ran over to her, helping her up and guiding her toward the nurse's office. "BLAKE, AND CONWAY! MY OFFICE NOW!"

                   ***

The principal came out and demanded we do so. We got off the ground and exchanged dirty looks towards each other walking behind her. Once we were in her office she motioned for us to sit down. 

"So who would like to explain what that was!?" Ms. Adams asked trying not to raise her voice. 

"So, I was in the hallway with Maliea and Savanah,'' I started to explain "Then this psycho came over and rambled on about how he likes Maliea and I can't waltz in here for three weeks and get close with her!" I continued "he suggested we should fight" I finished up what I was saying and closed my eyes. Everything went blurry when I opened them, voices muffled the last thing I heard was "Finney Blake?"
