About ten minutes later, Olive was in the lunchroom, trying to eat, but she kept visualizing the sight of Charles’s muscular, wet body, and her heart couldn’t stop pounding. Shawn had always joked that there was a connection between them, but both of them denied it. But now she knew there was no way she could deny the fact that something was going on, and it bothered her, so she couldn’t face him. She’d waited all that time to walk with him to the cafeteria to convince him not to fight, and when she found him, she’d dashed away as fast as she could. Sitting alone and biting into her pizza, she was startled when Charles sat down beside her.

He said, “What was all that about back there?”

“What was what?” she said, unable to look at him.

“You know. You felt something.”

They weren’t touching, but she felt his warmth. Then feelings she never felt for her ex-boyfriend started to flare up. She needed to use her influence to convince Charles to chill, but she knew she didn’t have much time when she saw Tiger and his boys darting towards them across the lunchroom.

“Listen, you can’t fight Tiger,” she said.

Charles wasn’t listening to her. Seeing Tiger heading over, Charles pushed back from the table abruptly. As soon as Tiger came over, he tried to give Charles a right hook, but Charles had his hand out and stopped the balled fist with one cool motion. The crowd that was gathering started cheering for Charles. Tiger didn’t like it, not one bit. He came back and charged at Charles, and they landed on the crowd. The two started tussling before Olive could scream “Stop!” Charles got in a couple of punches, but when he stood up to walk away, Tiger stood up and pulled out a gun. Everyone in the crowd ducked. Charles stretched his arms open wide.

“What? You that big and bad you want to do something?” Charles yelled.

“Don’t be stupid, Charles!” Olive screamed out.

Charles said, “Just go, Olive. You can’t rationalize with a fool who’s crazed.”
