Seeing the tall guy enter the scene, almost everyone froze up.
"I heard what happened. Yeah, it seemed like something to my friend's scores?"
Nick, who was long been tamed, was now acting like how he was before. With a derisive smile, he looked at the perpetrators one by one. Even Eline, a girl, didn't think that she would be safe. IN front of them, there's a gangster who was looking intimidatingly down on them.
They may be the popular kids but they were still kids in the end. They didn't have the guts to punch unless desperate. The opposite is actually happening here. They felt like, no matter what, they shouldn't fight back. Or else, wouldn't they give this 'gangster' a reason to not show mercy?
Now that Nick specifically called Teren his 'friend' there's no escape to this. The only ones who have the guts to speak were Mike and Catherine, the former moved forward and spoke.
"On behalf of my friends, I apologize..."
