Kennedy couldn't help but stare at Laz in shock. This unassuming little boy was able to take her down as though she was nothing and now, even though she was being held down by him, he wasn't choking her or taking advantage of her. In her entire life, he was the first guy who had power over her that didn't try to take advantage of her.
It was an awkward feeling and she didn't know what to make of it. He didn't try to flaunt himself to her and almost totally disregarded her. As strange as it sounded, it made her somewhat interested in him. She might be afraid of him, but that didn't mean she feared he would do something to her.
Laz got off her and stood up as though he hadn't done anything worth mentioning. Although Kennedy had fought with him, he didn't feel any malice from her, nor hatred. From what he could pick up though, her attitude about him had changed although he didn't know how.
