Ayla quickly walked off to the area where she and Kerem had confessed their feelings for each other. It was a sacred place no matter their stage in life together. Ayla wondered if Kerem had ever gone back to this area, it was nice. Minus the sad history that came with it.

Ayla took a small sip from her water bottle, the chilly air sending shivers down her spine and causing goosebumps to form on her skin.

The waves swirled gently across the ocean, and the rhythmic movement of the waves was the only thing heard. It was way too quiet to be real. Most kids would be outside preparing for the debate, but everyone seemed to have vanished or didn't care enough about it to practice.

Her peaceful minute was wrecked once a bus full of annoyingly loud high schoolers pulled up. You could hear kids yelling stupid sayings
or talking loudly about their daily life gossip.

Ayla took that as a sign to instantly walk into the school building, and mentally prepare for the horror of events occurring in less than an hour.

" Hey Ayla! Sit with us!" Ali asked the brunette girl who had walked in with a frown on her face, she still wasn't mentally prepared for the debate. She knew how it would turn out; with fighting.

It happened every year, it was insane how the school board still allowed the two schools to be together in the same room.

Kerem was always somehow in the middle of it, whether that be the person who started the fight or the person who had ended the fight.

" Okay sure," Ayla nervously answered. She had to sit right beside Kerem, in the middle between him and Ali. She could tell Kerem tensed up a bit once she went to sit down.

" Hi Ali, hi Kerem," Ayla said while turning her full attention to the speaker. The first part of the debate was boring at every regular competition. It wouldn't get too heated until half of the debate was done.

Işik compared to everyone else, was the person with the strongest arguments. She seemed confident with every one of her answers and didn't need time to think. Ayla admired her for that.

Kerem shifted in his seat, and as he did his hand must have accidentally brushed it against Ayla's giving the two an awkward moment. She gave him a slight smile before turning her attention to Ali who was falling asleep on her shoulder.

" Cheater! What the fuck!" A student in the crowd from the rival school shouted out loud, him and his friends, automatically got up and accused Işik and the rest of the team as cheaters.

The lights began to move quicker as the debate student from the rival team began to speak about his argument, he clearly wasn't confident about it either way because he kept stuttering and pausing to think.

Ayla and the rest of her school stayed sitting down to purposely ignore the reckless students. Kerem stayed looking at the debate, although there wasn't much to see. Or he was looking at Ayla, who was fixed on Ali and his ability to sleep through all of this.

Ayla was struck on the head by a moving object. Although it was small, it clearly had a specific purpose. To start a fight.

" Did you just get hit?" Kerem asked, his tone sounded more angry than anything.

" Yeah, but it's okay. It was just a small pen." Ayla responded, hoping Kerem wouldn't start any more problems in this debate.

" No. It's not okay. Who threw this?" Kerem loudly asked, while standing up.

" What's wrong with you?" A random guy had said, holding his hand up in annoyance.

" Dude do you know where you are?" Kerem asked back, walking towards him.

Ayla quickly grabbed his arm to stop him, " Kerem stop." He looked her in the eye, but instantly brushed her hand off and went to fight.

"Ali, come on! Follow me," she urged as she shook him awake and firmly took hold of his hand. Ali, still dazed and exhausted, struggled to become aware of the events happening around them. Ayla led him to the back of the stage to get away from the violence, as violence terrified her.

She couldn't stand anything about it, but no one knew that about her. Well except for Ali. Ali knew her inside and out, and there wasn't one thing she wouldn't tell him.

" What happened?" Ali asked, stunned by the large amount of people in the crowd fighting. The main adults there couldn't even stop it, no matter how many times they yelled and threatened kids.

" It was Kerem, some dude hit me I think and Kerem got all well- Kerem," Ayla responded. The gesture was cute, he wanted to fight for her.

Ali spoke up, " Oh well when he was removed from the basketball team, he said he wouldn't get in fights unless it was to protect someone he cared about. Do you both still have something or nah?" The boy next to them seemed to be listening to their conversation, which made Ayla feel uneasy.

He didn't appear to be the caring type, he was busy in his own world, as he drank from his flask. But Ali was speaking loud enough for Işik to most likely hear too.

" No. I don't think so- wait what shit! A fire!" Ayla screamed as she grabbed Ali and pulled him to the front, getting him away from the danger.

Suddenly, the fire alarm startled everyone, triggering the sprinkler system to drench everyone who was in the room with water from the ceiling. Causing the scene to get a lot more chaotic.

" Are you okay?" Ali worryingly asked Ayla who had a fearful look on her face, the violence got worse and she started to freak out.

" No- let's go outside. Now." Ayla rushed out of the building, tears flowing down her cheeks. Her panic had begun to fill her mind, the memories all coming back to her. She kneeled on the ground to not fall.

Ali held her in his arms, his hand moving down her arm. He whispered random things to her to make her mind focus on something else.

It wasn't the first time nor the last time he would have been in a situation similar with Ayla, and by then he knew how to help her.
