Combat

The plan in action!

They all went to find Monty to execute their plan. They saw him eating ice cream with his friends. They all started thinking of a way to get him away from his bag.

Sam suddenly came up with a plan. He said, "Just wait and watch." He started running towards him and pushed him hard.
The ice cream fell on his shirt and it got dirty. Monty fumed in anger and hold Sam from his back.

"What's the problem with you people? I think you really want a punch, that's why you are trying to make me angry," said Monty dangerously.

"Please please Monty leave me. It was by mistake. I didn't mean it. I am not a fool like Aadi to dare to fight with you. I know how strong you are. I accept my mistake. Please forgive me and I am ready to rectify my mistake. Please come with me to the bathroom. I will wash the shirt for you." requested Sam.

"You are more intelligent than your friend. This is the last time I am forgiving you. And you better wash it properly. Thank god I have an extra shirt today. Come!" Said Monty and both of them went to the bathroom. Isha and Aadi also followed them secretly. Monty went inside to change his shirt, leaving his bag and shirt outside.

Sam started washing his shirt. Aadi also came inside and get the assignment from his bag and ran outside. Just then Monty came wearing his new shirt. He rudely took a shirt from Sam, picked his bag and left

Sam jumped in happiness. Isha and Aadi hugged him tightly.

"Thank god, we accomplished the first goal. Now the next class is about to start so we have to go and wait for the lunch break. And this lecture will also decide whether we will win or not. Maybe we will not need anything else " said Isha.

They all went to class. Other students also started filling the class. The maths teacher came and started teaching. For the whole time, the trio was nervous and praying to god.

Finally, the time came. The teacher asked everyone to submit their assignment. The students including Isha and Sam gave their assignments. As Aadi was a new student, he doesn't have to submit it. Monty was still looking in his bag for the assignment.

The teacher asked dangerously, "Where's your assignment, Monty?"
"Si. Si.. sir I don't know. I promise I completed it but I don't know where it is?"

"Again making excuses? I see! Monty you will redo the assignment thrice and also you will have 2-hour detention after school."teacher ordered.

"Bu.. but sir I am-"Monty tried to say but the teacher said in the middle" Shut up! Monty and sit down."

Monty sit down and told his friend," Do something. I can't go to detention today. I am waiting for the fight eagerly and this detention will spoil everything."
"Let me think of something." said his friend.
After a few minutes, Monty's friend stood up and said," Sir I want to say something."
"Go on!" Teacher replied.

"Sir, it was my mistake that Monty is not able to submit the assignment. I took his assignment 2 days ago without telling so that I could copy it. But I forgot to bring it to school today." he said, standing ashamed.

The teacher said, "Oh! So that's the case. Shivam (Monty's friend) instead of Monty you will have detention today for 2 hours. And also as you tried cheating, your grade will be reduced. Monty, you will still do the assignment thrice as it's your mistake you didn't check your bag for the assignment."

Monty said to Shivam," Thanks, bro. I owe you one."
Shivam said," It's what friends do"

On the back, the trio was angry, scared, and sad. Isha said," So I guess plan B then."
"Yeah! Without a doubt. Damn you Shivam!" replied Sam.

The classes get over and now it was a break. The three of them went to find Arnav. Arnav was one year senior to them. They found him standing outside the class. Isha decided to take the matter in her hand.
Isha went to him and said, "Hey loser, how are you feeling after finally knowing that you are not the best here?"
Arnav got angry. He said, "What are you talking girl? Is it a way to talk to your senior? And how dare you say me a loser, huh?"
Isha replied scared, "I am sorry sir. I didn't mean to say that. It's just that Monty, our classmate is telling everyone that he has finally defeated you and you have also accepted your defeat. He said that now he can do whatever he wants in this school. He even challenged a new student for a fight in our class."

"Seriously, he is doing these types of things now? Don't worry I will see him during that fight. I will explain to him what is it to spread rumors. And you girl! don't you dare to speak like this again to me? This is the last time I am forgiving you otherwise I don't think about the gender of a person before punching." said Arnav.

"I am really sorry sir." Said Isha.

Isha ran towards Sam and Aadi. "Phew! That was dangerous. Seriously Aadi we want a big treat from you after all this. Two days of you in this school and we both were about to get punched in one day."

"Seriously sorry and thanks a lot. I don't know what I would have done without you two guys. Love you both." thanked Aadi.

"Hey! I was just joking. It's not the time to get emotional. We have to buy a bottle of pepper spray before break gets over." replied Isha.

They went to a nearby shop to buy pepper spray. The put some of it in their small spraying toy. Then they went to have lunch.

The classes get finished and now it was the time to fight. They went to the ground wishing that everything would go as planned.

In a few minutes, many students came to the ground to see the fight. Aadi got more nervous and scared. Isha and Sam were holding his hand to give him some support.
After some time, Monty also came to the ground. He said boosting, " Are you ready to get admission to the hospital?"

Everyone laughed around them. Aadi was not able to respond to anything. Monty came forward and pulled Aadi forward by his t-shirt. He stood on guard. Aadi, not knowing what to do, copied him. They both started circling each other. Isha and Sam were looking around for any sign of Arnav.

Monty was about to throw his first punch on him when someone said, "Stop this fight right now." Everyone turned towards the source of that voice. It was Arnav standing right there. The trio finally let out the breathe they were holding.
"Before him, you have to fight with me," said Arnav.
"But why?" questions Monty.
"Don't you dare to ask any question. I want to fight not to debate." Said Arnav. With this Arnav pushed Aadi and stood in front of Monty, throwing a hard punch at him.
