"Who's the new kid?" Al's friend, Fred asked as he ran up to Al after class. He was laughing, as if plotting a way to bully Eric.
Cara and Eric had gone ahead since Cara didn't exactly get along well with Fred. She didn't want to interact with him, so as soon as she saw Fred marching up to them, she left, dragging Eric along.
"My cousin." Al answered in a threatening tone, making Fred shrink out of fear.
"Chill man." Fred tried his best to make it seem like he wasn't afraid of Al, but Al could see it, he could sense the fear and worry.
"Pretty boy." Al said as he walked ahead, making Fred chase after him not wanting to be alienated by his friend.
"Huh?" Fred asked as he tried to keep up with Al who's pace was quite fast.
Al was trying to get rid of Fred since his friend made Cara comfortable. He and the other popular kids had bullied Cara when she was new to school.
