BLOOD MONEY

Chapter 2: "Conflict Resolution"

                       "No Pain, No Gain"

At that very moment, Damion thought on the positive side of things, realizing that the High School Diploma was his main focus, and he did not want to screw up his opportunities on gaining scholarships. So, walking away was his attempt to settle things. Sometimes, being the bigger person would honestly make society  a better place in decreasing the chaos rate.
"Right, walk away.. JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER DID !", an outburst that Butch made whiles chuckling. Then again, you could forget what I said before , NEVER tolerate disrespect.
Without any hesitation, Damion angrily dashed towards Butch, which turned the whole situation into a fist fight. Everyone huddled up in a circle and had their phones out. You would've thought it was a UFC battle going on with a massive crowd screaming, "Fight..Fight..Fight.." This caught the attention of the Hall Monitor. After the fight, the two wrestlers were reported to the Principal's office.         "Mr. Harris, Mr. Watkins, please take a seat", Principal Dickelson said. "Now what is this rumbling all about?", Mr. Dickelson asked. "He was literally taking advantage of a girl, and talked about my Dad....", words of Damion. "Mr. Dick the lil Bit**.. , "Ayyyye!, I will not tolerate any obseen language to be used throughout any explanations, start over Mr. Harris." Mr.Dickelson stopping Butch before he could finish off his sentence. " Hmmp, What l was trying to say was, that this was none of his concern..I was just messing around..no one was hurt before he showed up..and 2, He pushed me first Mr. Dick", Butch ending his court defense statement. Violence isn't the way to solve issues especially not in this institution. Mr. Dickelson made it clear as he gave off his speech that no one barely listens to. Butch suffered from a broken nose, and they were both granted a 3-day lunch time detention. The bell rang as they made their way to first period.
Entering class, Mr. Stein ,the history teacher already notified in appearing 15 minutes late. Meanwhiles, everyone was quite boisterous, whiles being on their phones and notifications were going off. Damion walked in and approaching him was his homie Kevin Pierre-Nor. Kevin was one of the most funniest guy's throughout high-school. I mean the guy was a natural full blown comedian, it's as if he takes nothing serious. The dude had game as well, I'll tell you that..guess you could call him a ladies man. But in all seriousness, Damion and Kevin go way back, somewhat like Lebron's hair line, since elementary school. Back then when racism levels were quite high. Damion and Kevin's moms were the best of friends, so Sherran didn't really had a problem in watching over Kevin, when his mother was dealing with a few financial issues. Sherran had a big heart and treated others humanely, and always offered to help, where help was needed.
But I would have you know that, Kevin's parents were natives of the country of Haiti. If it's one thing Kevin wanted the most, was to become a successful YouTuber. His personality fits perfectly for the platform, and Damion supported him one hundred percent of the way.
"Yo everything aight tho? , what Dick had to say and why the long face?" Kevin asked in concern. "It's all good bro, nothing happened, don't even worry about it ."
Damion responded. "You sure bro? 'Cus I mean ya face dead ass..kinda looks like your girl slept with you, then straight up told  you she's pregnant...later on letting you know that it's not yours ..and now she's struggling with an STD...",🥶 Kevin boldly concluded. Damion just went ahead and told him about the detention situation, then was wondering what was every one in class so riled up about.

"Trending Girl"

Little to a few seconds later, Luc, Hector and Darrio joined Kevin and Damion's conversation. They were some of Damion's close friends actually. "They're wilding 'cus ol girl got exposed with a leaked sex-tape, Take a wild guess tho? " ,Darrio said. "Who?? ,you mean Offering Tray?,"Kevin stupidly responded with another rhetorical question. "Who??",Damion asked in a confused facial expression. "He means Shanna..Big Booty Shanna!",Darrio responded. Why would yall call her Offering Tray? Lol " Damion asked. "Cus she's always getting passed around my nigga", she a blessing to society.", Kevin being himself once again. Meanwhiles Luc and Hector trying to catch them selves, whiles  dieing from laughter.
A few moments later, Butch walked in, his eyes were bloody red, that you'd think the guy was able to touch the stars. We all know where he probably came from, the boys restroom of course.. to let off some steam. He tried hiding the scent with his cologne, to eliminate the smokey odor from teachers and peers , to prevent being highly noticeable . It somewhat works out every time somehow.

"A Deal With the Devil"

Mr. Stein came dashing in and, proceeded to fill the board with tons of notes, before he could even catch his own breath. Everyone made way to there assigned seats to start off  the day's session. Meanwhiles at the rear-end of the class, Butch complained on how he was unable to see the notes clearly, to even take them down. He went ahead and attempted to find another way, to resolve his issue." Pss", Jergins fingers!..." ,Butch whispered aloud. Trying to capture Connor Paxton's attention. Afraid to stand up for himself, gets nervous throughout any situation was this glasses wearing, tight pants wearing, brainiac.
Probably one of the most nerdiest kids in school. He was a genius when it came to tech work though, such as computers and so on. He could honestly be a developer some day. " Wanna make 5 bucks? " Butch requested. Knowing Connor, he was all in to turn down the offer, because of how Butch countlessly mistreated him. "Listen, waste of cum, maybe if you help me out I'd put in a word for you with Shanna " . Butch trying to finesse the young man. " So what's it gonna be?" , Butch convincingly questioned. Connor then sucked it all up and proceeded to help out Butch, in which he received the 5 dollar bill first , to avoid Butch from performing his little mind game tactics. In other words, getting swindled. A little back story on Connor, you see, besides him being a mini- Einstein or having people sometimes questioning his sexuality, the guy had a big crush over the most disrespected female in the entire school. He did the absolute most to try to speak to her, but his confidence level was actually pretty low. I guess he saw different in her that most people were too blind to see.
               An hour came to past, as it was time to head out for break. Connor decided to reach into his snacking bag to nibble on a snack. Like the Nickelodeon show of the last air-bender, it all vanished, when he needed them the most. Clueless as to where his munchies went, coming down the aisle way was Butch enjoying every bit of it. "Hey man, that wasn't part of the deal..", Connor trying to stand up for himself. "Who follows the rules nower days chump? Don't you know not to make deals with the devil?...", Butch boldly concluded. Not only did Connor receive two L's, but Butch saw the need to get his $5 worth, even if it meant robbing Connor off the deal.
"Give me my snacks back man..." Connor demanded . Gripping the young man , having him on his toes like a ballerina was Butch's attempt to humble Connor for feeling disrespected because his voice was raised. This alerted the attention of others to want to see what was about to go down.
                  "Aye man, Bitch, Butch, Butcher..whatever they call you, 'cus Im clearly not ya mother..ehemm..just put him down man" ,Kevin said. Butch wasn't listening to anything anyone had to say. Being boldly stubborn, he already thought on all the ways he would literally beat all the top stream intelligence out of Connor. A little to a few seconds later, out of no where came Damion. He stood up to Butch letting him know to unhand Connor. "Yo Butch you don't need no more problems than you're already in right now, let's just go." one of Butch's crew members making a statement. He then dropped Connor and threw his snacks at him. "Stay out my way Watkins, don't wanna see your ass until detention." Butch said. They then walked off whiles, Damion gave the Walmart Harry Potter a helping hand up.

"Romance Or Bromance?"

                   Time fast- fowarded, as the day came to an end.
The school bell rang, giving consent for the dismissal of today's school session. Whiles Damion was on his way exiting the main building alongside Kevin, Luc, Hector & Darrio. Meanwhiles, someone yelled, "Damion wait up! "
                          It was Aliyah that made this demanding statement. "Ugh,we'll catch you later bro, I think my girl is trying to reach me"kevin said. "Wait, when since you had a girl?"Hector asked.
                         Kevin: "Why is your dad not with your mom anymore?.."
                          Hector: "huh?"
                          Kevin: "huh.."
                          Luc: "huh?"
                          Kevin: "Nun"
Kevin concluded by saying "Yo let's just get the hell on outta here." Kevin being the one homie who had no belief in cock blocking, was simply doing his friend, Damion a solid, in the most slickest way possible.
Continuing on, Aliyah jogged her way towards the young man. "Thanks for standing up for me back there, that was really brave of you", she said. "It's cool, once you're good it's all that really matters", Damion responded. She then cracked a smile that haven't been seen in a good while. They were both walking on campus whiles having a full fledge conversation. Aliyah felt as if she've known Damion forever, and was comfortable enough to tell him almost anything. Damion then popped the big question of requesting her phone number. Her reaction towards the question was as if she was amongs a load of people, flashing pictures, with a scenery of decorations, dressed up in a white dress. Just an exagguration, but you get the picture..Lol. She gave him the digits, and they just gazed into each others eyes afterwards, on some Romeo and Juliet type of mood.
