" Because, like, there comes a time when enough is enough... And you have to stand up and face up and fight back. "

Bailey walked toward Justin with a smile, the other teenagers slowly disappearing into classrooms around them for their first class of the day. Her gaze flicked behind her boyfriend after she noticed the tension on his shoulders, spotting Diego walking behind him; saying something she couldn't hear. Her brows furrowed when Justin met her gaze, but he shook his head at the silent question. 

'Um, I don't really have time for this shit right now,' He took her hand, kissing her head and glanced back at the boy.

He lead her down the next hall, but Diego didn't relent.

'But then I heard the tapes,' The Torres boy called after them.

The couple paused, turning to look at the boy as he watched them with a smug look.

'What tapes?' Justin asked.

'That Bryce made for her. And for you,' Diego glanced at Bailey; 'She's protecting you, isn't she? Because you did it. You killed him.'

'You really don't know what the fuck you're talking about. But if I were you, I'd keep my fucking mouth shut.'

'I'm gonna get the truth.'

'Yeah?'

Diego hummed cockily, stepping closer to the couple; Bailey pulling Justin back.

'How, exactly?' He asked.

'I'll beat the shit out of you if I have to. Though, something tells me you won't last as long as your boy Zach did,' Diego smirked.

'Torres, cut it out,' Bailey snapped; 'I will punch the shit out of you.'

'You don't scare me.'

'Oh, she should,' Justin chuckled lightly.

Justin shoved Diego backwards harshly, before he stepped back; dumping his bag beside him as he wiped his hand over his mouth.

'Justin,' She hissed as she stepped away from him.

Diego charge forward, pushing Justin against the lockers; both of them grunting as they fought against one another. Justin flipped them around, Bailey let out a frustrated noise; rushing to get between them. She shoved them apart, pushing Justin backwards before she turned and did the same to Diego.

'Hey! Enough! That's enough, break it up!' An officer ran over.

He pushed Bailey toward Justin, the girl stumbling into him before she turned to fight him.

'You, back to class,' The man yelled before he shoved Diego; 'You, up against the locker!'

'Me? Why just me?' Diego exclaimed.
