"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Chuckled the leader of the group of three. Dan and Phil had broken apart and were cowering in fear at them. Phil spoke to the boy, who happened to be wearing a blue pin.

"Leave us alone, Felix, this has nothing to do with you." He stood protectively in front of Dan. Dan could tell that he was scared out of his wits and he grabbed Phil's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

Felix laughed. "You think you're tough, do you? Ha, don't make me laugh Lester. I've seen you during practice. You've lost your edge." The two goons behind him laughed.

Phil took a step forwards. "Leave. Us. Alone." He said through clenched teeth. Felix's eyes drifted down to the red pin on Dan's chest.

"Have it your way then." A malicious grin spread across his face. "Chris, PJ, grab him." The two goons seized Phil by his arms as he struggled to escape. Dan tried to run, but Felix grabbed his arm.

"Leaving so soon?" He asked before slamming Dan into a nearby locker. Dan collapsed onto the floor in pain. Phil screamed.

"Leave him alone!" He shrieked, writhing in Chris and PJ's grasps. PJ pressed his hand over Phil's mouth to muffle his screams. Felix lifted Dan up by his shirt and punched his nose with all of his strength. There was a cracking noise. He had broken Dan's nose. Phil still struggled against their grasps.

Felix grabbed Dan's head and, with full force, rammed it into a stone wall behind him. Dan collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Phil let out a muffled scream. Felix began kicking Dan in the ribs. After several minutes, he stopped.

Felix laughed again. "Let's go." Chris and PJ dropped Phil and ran off laughing with Felix. Phil ran to Dan to see if he was alright.
