What Would You Do For Love?

Schoolyard Brawl: Part 1

Blossom's POV

I hated leaving my sister while she was in so much pain, but she was pleading with me to help Butch. It wasn't often that Buttercup asked for help, and I just couldn't turn her down. I sprinted back to science class. Brick and I had that class together. He was at the door waiting for me.

"Hey, Blossom," he said, throwing me a smile. "You're early."

"Brick, you got to come with me," I said. I was still panting a little, having run most of the way there.

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking concerned.

"Buttercup's in the nurse's office," I said quickly. "Mitch hurt her, and Butch is on the warpath."

"What?" Brick shouted. "Do you know where he would be?"

"Mitch has gym class after lunch, so they're probably outside."

"So does Butch," Brick said. "We better hurry before he does something stupid."

We ran down the hallway and practically crashed into Boomer, who tried to move out of the way but was unsuccessful. "Hey, you two," Boomer said, trying to pick himself off the ground. "Where's the fire?"

"No time to explain," Brick said. "We got to stop a murder."

"What?" he shouted, but Brick just grabbed his hand and dragged him down the hallway. We reached the outside door and ran through it.

There was the boys' gym class, and I saw Butch standing there in front of Mitch. He pushed him to the ground. My heart started to speed up as Butch stood over Mitch.
