“Ben, stop!” I called out. “Stop it. You won, okay?”
To my surprise, he took his foot off of Remi. “He threatened you, Raven.”
“Yeah, cause he’s an immature asshole,” I said. “That doesn’t mean you should kick the shit out of him.”
Remi sat up, coughing. He spit blood on the ground and I wrinkled my nose in disgust. He was a sleaze ball for sure but that didn’t mean he deserved this. Ben had no reason to fight him. Was he trying to defend my honor or some shit? What was with this guy? He sent his friend to look after me, which was sweet and all, but this was too much.
I’d taken care of myself most of my life. I could handle a school bully and threats of gym class. What was he going to do, dodge ball me to death?
“He needs to learn his place,” Ben said.
“His place?” I asked.
“He can’t mess with something of mine,” Ben said.
“I’m not yours,” I said. This was getting scary. First day of school and I already had a bully, a group of mean girls, and a stalker. It was turning out far too similar to my high school experience. The only way I’d survived high school was by keeping to myself and avoiding everyone. It looked like I needed to reinstate that plan here.
“You stay away from me.” I pointed to Ben, Makayla, and Remi. “All of you.”
I ran from the cafeteria. I would figure this out on my own. It couldn’t be that difficult, right?
