While he hovered around the Group, he watched the events unfold around him. The problem sorted itself out without his input, and he was fine with it that way. While he was happy to see that the two were leaving the others, he cured his luck as they waled over his way. While Samson was the weaker of the duo, Rhett couldn't escape from under his arm, and struggled to get free with no avail. "H-hey. Let go of me." He said to Samson as he continued to struggle. He was even more aggravated by the duo with the mention of 'those weird Japanese cartoons', as he didn't watch that kind of stuff. While it was true that he did watch anime and read manga, he wasn't one to read or watch any of the adult variety. He found it weird, and tried his best to stay away from it. The the next comment, Rhett was seriously considering attacking Jace and Samson, but knew that it wasn't the right thing to do, since they were bigger and stronger than he was. He just had to endure it for now and get revenge later. 

The young man looked up as high as he could when Joey had walked over to them, and was curious to see what he was going to do. From what he had seen earlier, Joey didn't like Jace and Samson all that well either, so Rhett assumed that he was there to help him. He was forced to regain his footing after being pushed away from Samson, and soon after he did, he looked at Joey once again. Rhett got into a loose stance, but stood back up normally as Coach Bill walked over to the newly formed group. Rhett didn't say anything to the coach, and simply nodded in understanding. He knew that they were older, bigger, and tougher than he was, but he still wanted to be able to get in a few good hits on them.

Rhett turned to Joey as he turned to him and listened to what he had to say. At them mention of 'girl friend', Rhett immediately thought that it was some sort of polygamous thing, but his thoughts were put to rest moments later when Joey cleared it up. Rhett smiled calmly at him as he walked away, checking his watch just after to see if he still had some time before his next class.

He still had time, and with that, he smiled to himself. Slowly and cautiously, he walked over to the group that Joey was with, and waved shortly to them all before looking at the only male in the group. "Hey. I just wanted to say thanks for helping me back there with those two. If you need anything, just ask. I owe you for sticking up for me." His voice was calm and relaxed, but he was a little nervous inside about how things would turn out. There were currently three girls near him, and his mind was replaying what Samson had said previously about girls wanting to be with him. He knew that he should take it to heart, but the words still affected him.
