Zach jumped out of his seat and rushed over to his friend.
"Let's go, we've got to move quickly," Calliso urged him.
Zach trailed behind as they headed to the cafeteria. Despite not understanding why, he had a gut feeling about who Calliso was referring to. As they entered the cafeteria, Jacksen hurried over to them in a panic. "Bro, the girl is seriously angry. She's shouting like crazy," he exclaimed with urgency.
Zach could hear the voice of an enraged woman. Pushing through the crowd, he struggled to see what was happening. Unable to get a clear view, he hurried to the nearest table and climbed onto one of its chairs. From this vantage point, he witnessed two students, a man and a woman, engaged in a heated argument. His shock hit when he realized the woman was yelling at Clair. Jumping down from the chair, he maneuvered through the crowd until he reached the pair still embroiled in their dispute. Circling around them, he approached Clair from the other side, catching her eye as he drew near.
"What's happening here?" he inquired, his concern evident.
She seemed nonchalant. "That guy came up to me, way too close. I was about to punch him in the face when that girl swooped in and yanked him away. Then they both started yelling."
"Hey, you!" the girl called out, her gaze fixed on Zach.
He turned his attention towards her, awaiting her next words.
"Do you know her? What's her deal with my boyfriend?" she asked, her tone laced with anger.
"Come on, Maisie. You're making a scene," the guy responded, his tone tinged with frustration.
"Seriously, Axen, spare me the excuses! I don't believe you're just curious because she resembles someone you know. You're not fooling me this time. Just own up to the fact that she's your side piece," the girl retorted, her voice thundering with fury.
"Don't talk about her like that! She just arrived from Australia, and she's not into him. Your issues are your own. She's out... Let's go," Zach stated, irritation evident in his tone, as he took Clair's hand and ushered her away from the scene.
"You heard that? Satisfied?" the guy said sarcastically to his girlfriend.
"This is all because of you!" the girl shouted angrily.
"How is this even my fault? ...You know what? You're insane. Go fuck with yourself," the guy shot back.
"Hah! Don't act all high and mighty, because my middle finger is way better than your wiener," the girl retorted, giving him the middle finger.
Zach briefly remembered a similar incident that had once happened to him, but he quickly pushed the thought aside and kept walking, guiding Clair with him, until a loud whistle cut through the air.
"What trouble are you two making now?" a man yelled.
Zach suspected it might be a teacher, so he quickened his pace while maintaining his grip on Clair's hand.
Meanwhile, Roy stood at the entrance of the cafeteria, witnessing the scene. As he contemplated leaving, two girls approached him.
"Hey, haven't seen you around. Are you new here?" the girl with curly long hair inquired.
Roy simply glanced at her without uttering a word.
