Grayson's pov.
All I see is red, I want to break every bone in his face.
I turn into the cafeteria and look around for Daniel. I spot him leaned on a table flirting with a group of girls, I snarl as I walk towards him.
Vinnie keeps yapping in my ear, telling me i'll regret this. The only thing I regret is not punching this bitch sooner.
Daniel's smile slowly fades away as he watches me. His eyes widen as he starts backing up. "Whatever she told you, it's a lie." He says his voice cracking. Funny how he already knows what i'm mad about.
I throw a punch, my fist connecting to his jaw. He falls to the ground and I don't waste any time getting on top of him.
I hear a crack as I punch his nose, blood splattering across my shirt. Vinnie tries to push me off of him but I don't budge.
Fuck his threat, you're not going to hurt my girl and get away with it. I breathe hard through my nostrils as I continue to bash his face in, images of him on top of her as she's begging him to stop blinds me with rage.
He never stood a chance, he's a twig compared to me. Daniel thrashes from underneath me, trying to buck me off. I'm honestly surprised he's still awake. "You're going to kill him!" Vinnie roars as he continues to try and get me off of him. I hear a student shout causing the other students to scatter like ants. I get one more punch in before i'm getting thrown off.
Principal Doyle grabs my hoodie and pulls me up. "All of you, come with me!" He barks. I look around the cafeteria, Aven catching my eye, her eyes wide as she looks at Daniel. So much for the girls keeping her in the bathroom.
Mr. Doyle drags Daniel and I to his office, shouting at the girls and Vinnie to wait outside. "Sit!" He yells. I sigh and plop down, getting comfortable. He sits down at his desk and picks up the phone, calling someone. "Evening Carol, will you call the guardians of Daniel Miller, Kristina Age, Nora Smith, Vinnie Hacker and Avanie Woods please? Also send Nurse Hadley to my office, Thanks." He says before hanging up.
He props his arms on his desk, looking at us. "Care to tell me why you decided to use Daniel as a punching bag?" He asks. I shrug, not planning on telling him anything. "Fine, if you're not going to tell me then maybe your buddies will." He says walking to the door. "You two sit out here, you four come in and take a seat." He says holding the door open.
I get up and walk out. I look at Aven as she's trying to sooth a crying Kristina. How can she be taking care of someone else when she just went through something so traumatic?
My heart skips a beat when she looks at me, those green doe eyes making my stomach flutter.
Fuck, i'm in deep shit.

Aven's pov.
I sit down in a chair and wipe my sweaty hands on my pants. I glance at Kristina every few seconds to see how she's holding up. "What happened guys?" Principal Doyle asks.
"Daniel had it coming to him." Vinnie says slouching in his chair. "What did he do?" Mr. Doyle asks while giving Kristina a tissue.
Vinnie looks at me before shrugging. Mr.Doyle sighs while rubbing his temples. "I get it, it's always about a girl." He mumbles looking at me.
I look down at my nails, avoiding eye contact. "She's not the problem, Daniel is. Everything was fine until he showed up." Nora says smacking on her gum.
