Anger filled him, so now just because he was backed by this poor excuse of friends made the little shit think he had the stones to now stand up to him after all this time of being submissive? Ignoring the border, he stormed over and grabbed Will by the scruff of his shirt with his left hand, since the injury that the Liebert bitch did to his right arm and hand would take a while to heal fully. "And who the fuck do you think you are?"
Will eyed him fully, showing no signs of backing down. "Better then you, now and forever more."
"What is going on here?" Alex and Jason turned to see Ms. Clark quickly striding over to them as a vast majority of students began to accumulate, dressed in a dark brown penciled skirt and black long-sleeved blouse as her hair remained in a clip while Mr. Rockwell kept trying to shield her from the rain with an umbrella but it seemed to do little to nothing with how quickly she moved, as if ignoring the rain entirely. "What do you think your doing to one of our students?" she demanded to Duke. "Unhand that boy immediately!"
Duke dropped Will and then kept all his attention on the teacher that stood before him casting an angry stare. His gaze went up and down her body, lingering in places that made Ms. Clark even angrier.
"What business do you have here?" she demanded.
"Business?" he repeated. "I'm here because one of your students did this to me. So, I came to have a talk with her."
Ms. Clark's brows narrowed further. She didn't like the tone that he was using, and giving a quick glance to Alex Maxwell, it didn't much to figure out who this man was probably talking about. Sure, you are. "I'm sorry sir, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave. This is school property and you can't loiter in or around the premises. If you do not comply and leave without causing an incident I will have no other choice but to call the police. That is if someone already hasn't done so."
"Which I have," Mr. Rockwell stated. "I heard complaints from several students that a man with your description has been bothering classmates in the vicinity. What's more the police seem to be very interested after some type of recent incident."
Duke grit his teeth in anger, he knew the chances of getting to that little bitch would be slim, yet the sheer devotion for one damn kid was disgusting. He looked back to Alex. "You know I can't believe your even friends with her, do you even know what she's done?"
"Not really, I only know bits and pieces. But truth is I don't really care, I know she's gone through shit. And people like you, do nothing but make it worse."
His arrogant smile returned. "You might, if I told you that she might have killed someone."
Alex narrowed her eyes, he purposely said that part louder to garner attention. Rumors could ruin a person, but Charla had dealt with enough of that shit from her other school. And the way people treated her the whole time she was there. "Oh says the pot calling a kettle black." She retorted. "If your going to talk about shit like that then why not bring up the things you did?" her smile widened when she saw his anger return. "Because if we're talking about people dying, well, you've killed someone too. And the whole town fuck'n knows it. You have your own shit to deal with, so why not leave it at that?"
"That's enough," Ms. Clark spoke as she then stepped in between Alex and Duke, who had taken a threatening step forward. "And you, sir, as I said it would be best for you to leave. Unless you wish to be hauled off in handcuffs, the police should be here shortly."
But the man seemed to have reached his breaking point as he leaned in close, only a few inches away from her face. "And what are you going to do to stop me?"
"I am telling you to leave," she said again, not backing down. "I will stop you if you try to harm one of my students."
He tried to shove her away. "And what could someone like you do to me?"
But in that moment Ms. Clark had grabbed his left wrist and forced him to fall face first in the ground with only the slight movement of distorting his balance.
Those who watched were too stunned for words as Ms. Clark looked down at him with cold eyes. "Leave, this is your final warning."
To both Will's and Alex's surprise, the man actually did. He quickly got up and left the school grounds without so much as another word, did Ms. Clark's actions shake him that much?
"Honestly, people these days..." Ms. Clark said as she took out a cloth to clean her glasses of the raindrops that remained. "They have no integrity, where dose he thinks this is, America? I take my job seriously into protecting my students from such people." She sighed again. "Mr. Rockwell," Ms. Clark spoke his name in a commanding tone. "I'll be contacting the police to inform them of this incident, please remain out here until the rest of the students have left for the day. We don't want that man coming back any time soon."
"Yes, Ma'am."
Ms. Clark looked to Alex. "Miss Maxwell, I will need to speak to you later, could you please remain a bit longer?"
"Uh... yeah sure. I'll just wait outside your office."
With a nod, Ms. Clark quickly went back into the school as Mr. Rockwell called out to the students that had formed a crowd to go home before they got sick, unless they wanted to run five laps in the rain, which the students that were there promptly left for home.
Reaching her office Ms. Clark leaned against the door when she entered and sighed before looking at her hands, hands that were slightly shaking. It's been a long time since I had to do that... she thought. But, that man, I have a feeling if he isn't caught soon. Something dreadful might happen.
She shook her head, now wasn't the time for such thoughts. The police, she needed to call the police and inform them of the recent events. But even as she called, she secretly hoped that things wouldn't escalate, even more so when it came to that girl and the horrible things that she had to deal with.
