Living With Hope

10~ Violent boy

It was now lunch and Tobias was eating a sandwich. June came running in. She was panting. Alfred was looking for James. June stopped panting and yelled.

"Arthur and James are having a fight!" She screamed. Alfred quickly got up. So did Lauren. Tobias looked at his sandwich then looked up. He sighed and threw his sandwich out. He ran.

"Why?!" Everyone was running to the commotion. June kept up with Tobias.

"I don't know." When they got there, Arthur already had James against the locker. James kicked him in the stomachs and Arthur stumbled back.

"James! Get your ass here!" Alfred yelled. James ignored him and went to punch Arthur. Arthur ended up punching the younger in the stomach. James fell on the floor. Arthur breathed heavy.

"Arthur! Come on!" Tobias yelled. Arthur looked at Tobias.

"Sorry Tob! I'm doing this for you!" Tobias was confused. That was until James punched Arthur and the older boy fell. His lip had some blood pouring out.

"Too slow." James teased. Arthur growled, standing up, he grabbed James by his shirt and threw him on the floor. Then he kicked him and backed off.

"Don't ever. Ever talk about my brother like that ever again." Arthur then walked off. James got up and went to go after him but Alfred held him back.

"He ain't worth it." James growled and headed to the nurses office. Tobias and Jane looked at each other. They didn't know what to do. Go and find Arthur. Or find out what went on. They went to find Arthur. Once they found him, he still looked angry.

"Hey.... Art.... What went on?" Tobias asked. Arthur glared.

"He talked shit about you. I wasn't going to let it slide. You deserve respect." Arthur kicked the wall. June cringed.

"Hey stop. Or you're going to get into trouble." Arthur didn't listen. He just carried on kicking the wall. Tobias cringed and June sighed. Arthur was not in the mood today or not at this moment.

"Arthur. Come on. Tobias isn't really bothered." Arthur growled and punched the wall.

"He's my brother. He's wasn't there to defend himself." Tobias smiled. June looked at him.

"Why you smiling?" June asked. Tobias smiled even more.

"I... I feel happy that.... That Arthur will defend.... Not matter what." Arthur looked at Tobias.

"Of course I would. You're my baby brother. Why wouldn't I?" Tobias chuckled. Usually Arthur wanted to forget they were brothers because Arthur despised their mother.

"Geez Art, let's just go. I'm starving and you made me throw my sandwich away." Arthur looked at June and Tobias.

"Ye. Let's go. But if I see him, I'll smash his face in." Tobias laughed.

"I won't stop you." He told. Arthur smiled as all three went to but lunch. Arthur was feeling nice. He felt bad Tobias threw his lunch away.

"I'll pay for both of your lunches. My treat." Both of the younger students were about to protest but Arthur glared. They didn't dare speak. Arthur went into the lunch hall. He bought a ham salad sandwich, a plan turkey and a wrap with Tobias favourite food inside. All sat on a table and Arthur passed June a sandwich and Tobias the wrap.

"Toby. What you get on that?" June asked. Tobias shrugged and opened it up. All he had to do was take a bit to fall in love.

"This is my favourite. It's chicken, lettuce, cucumber and mayonnaise." Tobias carried on eating. June cringed and bit into her ham salad sandwich. Alfred was walking past because he was going to buy an energy drink off a boy and he over heard the bad boy.... Sounding happy over a wrap. Alfred laughed and walked to the boy.

"Hey Al. You here for the drink." Alfred smiled.

"Hey Jay. Ye. Is it a dollar?" Jay took the drink and held it to Al.

"Ye. Here." Al grabbed it stuffing his pocket and took the dollar out his back pocket of his pants.

"Thank Jay. See ya this Friday." Jay nodded, snatching the dollar out of Al's hands and looking at his friends. Al turned around and walked off. He needed the drink because he was half asleep. Alfred smiled as he took out the drunk and gulped it down.
