Silas found himself constantly on the defensive, blocking and pushing Arden's heavy fists while losing ground, struggling to keep up. Parrying a kick to make it crash into the locker, he almost went for another hit, but hesitated too late.

Roberto grew scared. "You can't play defense for too long!"

Royal grew nervous. "Can't he tire him out and finish him off?"

"He's fast but frail. Blocking can keep him in the game, but he's gotta find openings to strike!"

Hearing this, Silas twisted his feet from a kick but Arden stomped on his foot, planning a follow up. He had no choice but to swipe his leg out to knee Arden, pulling him by his arm to land an elbow and fist conversion, making him step past Camila's open locker.

Getting his shoe back, he looked around for weapons. Arden moved to slam his head into the locker but he swung the loose door onto his hand, hearing a grunt escape his arms.

He punched her locker into his face, comboing with it to grab some of her books and art supplies out. Using one of them to trip his feet, Silas slammed a series of papers flying into his face before grabbing a bottle of hair moisturizer.

Arden clutched the locker to stop him from using it, but he threw her canvas into his face to get behind him, and rammed the bottle to make his stagger more.

Unscrewing the nozzle, he splashed Arden in the face with the pink liquid, blinding him long enough for Silas to drop kick him to the floor after tripping on one of her books. He took that well.

"You fight like a bitch!"

"I guess that's something we both have in common! Ahh that explains her taste in men!"

He threw Camila's paint brush, but Arden deflected it, rising up to spin and throw him off the classroom, forcing him to deflect kicks meant to target his legs.

Arden pushed him toward their classroom door where he fell. He tried to get up but Arden started to choke him with one arm.

"I'll make sure you never speak to her again!"

Silas fit his grip getting stronger, as his classmates' concern grew, yelling for him to get up and get away. Roberto tapped on the glass.

"Get out of the chokehold! Strike his arms!"

With his keys, he scraped Arden's arms off of him, lunging to chomp his fingers and holding both legs away from each other to deliver a brutal punch to the nuts. Hearing Arden's yell from overwhelming pain, Silas used a quick opportunity to bite at his legs.

"Get off me, you filthy animal!"

Before getting pushed off, he ripped off both shoes, covering his hands with both of them to help him reach the door knob and stand up, letting the circulation flow back into his throat, while Arden tried fighting the wounds on his legs and knees to stand up and face him.

All the pain you put Camila through ends here, clenching his toes and charging in. Though Arden's power was stronger, he drove from every hit to land clear blows while using the shoes to reduce the recoil.

I'll break you!

Guessing he was going to grab the shoe and pull it off, Silas slipped his hand out, twisting it to punch him clean in the face. The shock on Arden's face as he smashed the other shoe into his chest to send him crashing into the wall said it all.

I'm almost there! Camila, I won't stop until he drops!

Camila dragged Serene to the ground, turning her face into a work of rage with every slap until her hands were grabbed and the blond headbutted her back.

She shook it off to see her starting to find her drawn memories getting ripped one by one, laughing at her.

"Look, I found a way to make the trash pretty," sticking her face through one with her and her family.

Camila yanked her off the floor by her pigtails, smashing her into the dispenser again, forcing Serene to block it with a nearby hair dryer, but she smacked out her hands anyway.
"Don't ever touch my stuff"

"Too bad your parents weren't home."

"You went to my house?!"

She smiled, taking advantage of her blindspot to start wailing on her. Camila bounced back, refusing to crash without a fight, gripping Serene's hands to steer her from slamming her body into the stalls, slapping the wall to push her into the door.

Serene leapt off the door to wrestle her to the ground, but Camila took her ripped works, bashing her in the head with it several times. Several grazes and cuts forced her to kick off the stall floors to escape, clawing on the wall to pick herself up.

"So you can fight. Big whoop. You may have dated Arden, but you were nothing more than his side piece."

"Big whoop. You're the one stuck with him! He cheated on you with me, and if he goes free, he'll cheat on you just like he did to me!"

"Wow, you actually have a sense of humour. I don't care. In fact, while you were dating, I snuck into his room and put on a red wig. Wanna hear what he said while he was banging me?"

She looked distraught.

"What?"

Serene pulled out her phone, playing a recording.

"Thought you were her for a second. She's only good for her looks. You feel so much better."

She stopped it, letting Camila wallow in despair, but the redhead started laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"You want to be me so bad. It's pathetic! At least I have my own future!"

Serene immediately fought the pain to chokehold and pull her away.

"I wonder what would happen if I flushed you down the toilet," trying to carry her to the stall. "Or bash your head with the seat until your head leaks more than the faucet!"
