Blake couldn’t believe the sight he saw when he turned back to check on Largent. Damn! He didn’t realize Sophia had that much of a kick to her! He guessed that was the reason why you don’t mess with the quiet ones. He was apparently so dazed by it that he didn’t notice Richard and Sophia had already left. So much for that. Blake’s brother came up to him with a grimace as the crowd dispersed, expressing his worry over how much uglier it could have gotten. Blake just tried reassuring him with the old “it’s over” excuse, but Al wasn’t one to shake the uneasiness in his gut easily. It was gonna make lunch a little hard for him, but he could handle it.
At least until Om told him Blake to come with him. Both Blake and Al looked at each other with a look on their face that matched Hal’s confusion. What did he or Hal do wrong??? Neither of them made any swings! Blake just groaned and went along with Om, leaving his brother with the rest of their friends to eat lunch with. He took an uneasy seat in the nurse’s office when they got there, but learning that they would get punished as well as just threw him for a giant loop. So much so that, again, by the time it all sunk in the person he was focused on was already gone.
”That’s a total load!” Blake loudly complained. He then shot up from his seat and angrily pointed out the door, ”Where’s he get off calling us “sheep” and “not doing anything,” huh?? He was watching that, right? I mean, it sucks that you guys got busted,” he motioned at Richard, Sophia, and Largent, ”But we literally couldn’t do anything about it! It’s like it happened in a flash!” Blake was mad about this partly because the sub was totally looking down on them, but mostly at the accusation that they purposefully did nothing. If there was one thing he hated, it was inaction.
