Chapter 15

As the bell rang, Blaze looked down at the graded paper that had just been handed to him. He’d scored an F even though he’d actually studied for the test.

First his car wouldn’t start earlier and now this. All before ten a.m.

With his head down staring at the paper, he didn’t notice Tre and his teammates in his path.

Tre pushed him hard, nearly sending him to the floor. “Pay attention to where you’re going, retard.”

Blaze gathered his thoughts and realized what had just happened. He stood there with a dumbfounded look on his face.

“Yeah retard, did you hear what he said?” Wayne added.

“What the hell is wrong with you guys?” Blaze yelled.

The group started laughing.

“I think you should tell him, Tre.” Wayne teased.

“About what? Nikki? Nah too soon, bro.”

Before he could think, he’d thrown his backpack off his shoulders and went after Tre. He punched him square in the nose and watched as blood shot everywhere. Tre grabbed his face with both hands and stumbled back. Blaze swung again wildly, missing Tre completely.

A jolt of pain ran from his head down his back. Wayne had blindsided him with a hit to the back of the head. Blaze stumbled forward. Tre threw a punch and landed a right hand into Blaze’s stomach that made him double over in pain.

And just like that, it was over. An officer had tackled Blaze to the ground and two more took down Tre and Wayne. All three were cuffed and being forced down the hallway.

“Blaze!” Someone yelled behind him.

He turned to look but the officer pushed his head back around.

“Blaze!” It was Nikki.

“Hey baby,” Tre said.

“Shut up, Tre. Blaze, are you okay?”

“Ma’am, you need to make your way to your next class, or you can take a ride with them,” one of the officers threatened.

“I’m just trying to see if my boyfriend is okay.”

The officer turned and gave her a cold, hard stare. “Listen, I’m warning you, kid.”

“Call me later, Blaze,” Nikki said with a tear falling from her face. “Call me later!”

The officers led the boys outside to two waiting squad cars.

“You some tough guys, huh? We’ll see about that.”

“Where you taking us?” Tre demanded.

“Do you know who my dad is?” Wayne asked. “He’ll have both of your badges for this.”

The officers laughed at him. “Unless your dad is one of the three judges in Kilwade or the Chief’s kid, I don’t think so.”

“You’re making a big mistake. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, steroid heads.”

Officer Ramos yanked Wayne to a stop. “Pull out his I.D.,” he told the other officer.

He reached into Wayne’s pants and took out his wallet. He thumbed through it until he found his school I.D.

“So, what’s his last name?” Ramos asked.

“Shit – it’s Kellerman,” the officer said.

“Like I said, you boys are making a huge mistake. Want to let me and my friend here go now?” He looked at Tre.

“What do you want to do, Ramos? You know Kellerman’s a freakin’ prick. And the kid’s already told us that’s his dad.
