“Fight, there’s a fight,” the words were whispered from student to student, but luckily Chelsea was talking with some girls from her team and heard it. She ran to Chayton, her silly shoes slowing her down.

“There’s a fight outside,” she told him.

The gym was emptying and Chayton had to yell a couple of times before the students made room and let him and Chelsea pass.

It was hard to run through the snow in heels. The icy wetness seeped in between her toes and covered the top of her feet. Chelsea cussed Jessica with every step. Thankfully enough students were in front of them that a path had been cleared to the fight on the football field.

Chelsea could not believe the brawl that was underway. There were dozens of boys and even a few girls slugging it out. Blood and future bruises were all too evident, but nobody seemed to be slowing down as more students joined the fray and chose sides, some staying out of the action, but cheering for one side or the other.

Kaitlyn was thrust to the side and toppled into the snow in her beautiful dress.

“Kaitlyn,” it came as a roar from the mass of fighters, then two boys went flying and Mason knelt next to her in the snow.

Chayton ran right into the mix of students and started thrusting them apart and yelling for his players to stop. The fighting slowed down as the lacrosse players recognized their coach and finally Chayton was able to pull the last few boys apart. The entire crowd went strangely silent then a few boys spoke up, “Sorry, Coach,” Chelsea heard over and over again.

Mason lifted Kaitlyn to her feet and they walked slowly toward Chayton.

“Sorry, Coach,” Mason began.

“Mason.” Chayton shook his head, resting his hands on his thighs and taking a long breath. “I would never have thought you’d be part of something like this.”

“He was defending me,” Kaitlyn spoke up quickly. Her eyes darted around the crowd and then she jabbed a finger at Gabe. “He was trying to force me to…” She swallowed and looked up at Mason with something akin to hero worship. “And Mason saved me.”

Chayton nodded, his eyes softening as he exchanged a glance and a nod with Mason. Then his eyes darkened to obsidian as he looked back at Gabe. “Everybody go back inside,” he barked. The students were quick to obey. Gabe tried to blend in with the crowd. “Except you, Gabe.” Chayton pinned him with a stare and Gabe trudged back to them. “Pull your phone out and call your parents. Tell them your version of the story and then I’ll tell them mine.”

Gabe pulled out his phone and exhaled. “Can you just tell them?”

Chayton paused a few seconds then nodded. “You understand Kaitlyn can press charges against you?”

“Dang straight I can,” she said.

Gabe looked at her then studied the bleachers. “Sorry. Jace gave me some shots before dinner. I wouldn’t have… well, you know me and you know my dad.”

Kaitlyn pressed her lips together.
