Chereads / Queen bee + An Enemy / Chapter 4 - The Beat down

Chapter 4 - The Beat down

Michael's POV

"Babe, I'm bored.....wanna go to the bleachers?" Allison said hugging my arm. I was lost in thought at first. Too busy thinking about Clara.

I looked around the table. No one even payed attention to us. The girls at our table just sat there in jealousy as James maked out with a brunette.

I scrunched my face in disgust. "Yeah let's go" I said. Looking for any way to leave here. We stood up and left the café.

I and Allison approached the field and met half of the soccer players sitting on the bleachers like they were waiting for someone. I stopped. "I think we should go somewhere else" I muttered to Allison. Also seeing the confusion on her face. "Yeah--" Allison was cut off.

"Speak of the devil" a guy said. I recognised one of them as Ralph. I know him as some rich kid that I always see making out with Clara on the lockers but recently I haven't really seen any of that. I wondered if they had broken up.

Ralph didn't look happy to see me though. He looked really angry. "You know just when to make an entrance  Michael" Ralph said my name with disgust. I raised an eyebrow. An entrance?

"Grab him" Ralph said.

Three guys immediately sprinted towards us. In a blink of an eye, they grabbed me and Alisson.

"What the hell is this?!" I shouted, trying to pull my arms that were held behind me.

"This is a warning" Ralph walked towards me and  punched me on my face.

The pain stinged my jawline. I frowned. "Let go of me!" I yelled. "You stupid punk! You can't just mind your fucking business can't ya?!" Ralph yelled as he punched me again.

"Stop!" Allison yelled. Ralph didn't listen. He's friends joined in to beat me up and I couldn't do anything.

I was so pissed.

Ralph was starting to get tired as he punched his last blow on my face. I was taken aback by it and spat blood. I was too dazed from his punches that I couldn't speak up". Allison screamed.

"Just stop it. Please! Stop!" Her voice strained as she cried out.

They finally stopped and I fell to the floor coughing out more blood.

I didn't want to fight and I had no idea why the hell Ralph hates me right now.

Ralph suddenly started to laugh. "Dude! You can't even protect yourself. I mean, look at ya".

Ralph's friends joined in to laugh with him.

Unknown passerby

"I can't believe I forgot my gym clothes after cheer practice" the mysterious girl sighed as she walked to the field to get her gym bag.

"Next Class is physical ed. I better get this fa-" she was Cut off when she heard laughter.

Hmmm? Is someone else here?

She thought to herself.

She quietly sneaked behind the bleachers where no one could see her.

And there it was. Ralph laughing at Michael while one of the football players and also Ralph's friend held Allison.

She gasped.

"Oh my god. Are they fighting? What for? Well I don't care. this is so gonna go viral!" She squealed quietly in excitement making sure not to cause any noise as she brought out her phone to livestream it on the internet.

Clara's POV

After arguing with Ralph, I was exhausted. I walked back to the cafeteria and watched as Zoe and Ellie immediately stopped their chit-chat and turned to me with their eyes practically saying:

TELL US EVERYTHING!

So I did

"Guys? I just broke up with Ralph" I said to them as I sat down on my seat completely exhausted from the argument with Ralph.

"What?!" Zoe and Ellie said in unison. "Really? How? Did u guys have an argument?"

"Kind of. I think a news was spread all over the school that I and Michael have got something going on. Which we do not" I explained in annoyance while picking at my spaghetti.

"Sheesh! But you just met the guy" Ellie said feeling my pain.

"Yeah. Just last period." Zoe frowned.

"Yeah.....but I guess I'm finally free from that asshole now" I relaxed a bit.

"Yep. Finally. Now we can all hit the club Tonight as single ladies" Ellie squealed in excitement.

"Oh yeah" I laughed. My phone Instantly pinged. I just ignored it.

It could be Ralph trying to get me back. Like hell will I answer.

Then Ellie and Zoe's phone pinged. And strangely so did the others in the Cafeteria.

I decided to ignore it and eat my food. But everyone suddenly gasped.

I blinked and looked up from my food to Zoe and Chloe. They both had the same shocked expressions on their faces.

"What?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Clara.....you need to see this" Ellie handed me her phone.

On Ellie's phone was a video being livestreamed right now of some gang of boys beating someone up. It wasn't exactly that clear but you could see it.

"I don't get it. What am I supposed to see here?" I looked at Ellie.

"Read the Caption" Zoe said quietly.

I looked at the caption below the video.

Rich Maxwell highschooler, Ralph Cunningham beats up a fellow School mate. Live!

Ralph?! Beating up who...?

I looked at the video again and watched it carefully. yeah that was Ralph but who is he beating up?

The video

Ralph picked up the guy from his hair. There was a girl screaming in the background but I couldn't really see her. "Like I said, this is a warning. So if you Ever!, Ever! In your life come close to my girl again. I will kill you...."

................

Oh my god

Realisation then hits me

Michael....!

That's his black hair thats being pulled!

The phone fell out of my hand and unto the table in shock.  I looked around the cafeteria. Most of the people in the Cafeteria had left to go see the fight.

I looked up at Ellie and Zoe. "Do you want to go?" Ellie asked.

"We have to. His going to ruin my reputation when The whole world sees this" I frowned.

"But what are we gonna do?" Zoe asked

"Yeah. 'cus if you show your face Clara. It's gonna be worse." Ellie suggested.

"I think I have an idea. Lets go, I'll explain on the way" Clara said.

Why do I always end up dating Assholes!

(Sigh....)

Third person POV

Location: Maxwell High's Field.

Michael was beyond pissed that he hadn't punched back. He wanted to wipe the smile off Ralph's face but couldn't.

Ralph picked Michael up with his hair. Allison was screaming but there was nothing she could do. "Like I said, this is a warning. So if you Ever!, Ever! In your life come close to my girl again. I will kill you...." Ralph spat at Michael's face. Michael didn't pay much attention to what he said because he saw a little crowd of people far away from the bleachers watching them.

He smirked

Michael scoffed.  Everyone was surprised and they stopped laughing even Allison stopped struggling. Wondering what her boyfriend was up to.

Michael didn't have time to wonder were his sudden strength came from as he coughed out blood on Ralph's face. "You can't kill me" He coughed.

"Not when your gonna go viral soon" Michael smirked.

"What?" Ralph was confused.

Michael nodded towards the east coast of the football field. "Check it out. You have fans"

Michael could already see Ralph's face turn pale. Ralph immediately dropped him.

"Bro. I think everyone is watching us..." One of his teammates said in fear.

"We're so fucked!" Troy said. They all looked at Ralph for help. "What are we gonna do?" Luke asked, letting go of Allison.

"I-

"Hey what's going on here?! Hey! Yes all of you to MY office NOW!" The principal yelled as he pushed through the crowd of students that were all livestreaming this.

"And all of you to your classes!" He yelled.

Ralph clenched his fists.

"We're not over punk" Ralph glared at Michael.

Allison held Michael as she checked his injuries.

"Talk to the finger, Dumbass🖕"

Michael replied him with his Middle finger
