Fen just shook his head slightly, not even bothering to answer in words, like usual. He picked up his bags, and slung them over his shoulder, standing up. Without a word, he walked out the door, stopping in the hallway.

"This is going to be interesting," Maya murmured to Clair, looking once more at Dorian and Fen before walking out with her. Jack was waiting outside, and he spoke when they came out.

"Lets go get some good seats for the big show."

"Alright," Maya grinned.

Laia, as normal, replied in a soft voice. "Do you think they will start fighting?"

"He's talking to Fen," Alyss said dismissivly. "I bet there's going to be a fight," she added, sounding a but more interested in that prospect.

"Probably," Hiro said, agreeing with Alyss. He shifted his bags on his shoulder, wondering why there had to be so many books inside. Wasn't one enough?

"Someone have a crush?" Aaron teased, walking up to Rose. He knew she didn't, but it would be enjoyable watching her reaction to those words.

"Knock it off, Aaron," Katherine said, before walking out the door. She gave him a friendly nudge before heading to her locker. With a sigh of relief, she shoved everything inside, slamming the door shut. A metallic clang followed, but she ignored the loud sound, relieved to have the weight of the overburdnened bag off of her shoulder.

Maya felt someone slam into her, and she found herself on the ground, breathless and slightly confused. She looked behind her to see Rina behind her. "It's fine," she said, struggling to stand up.

Laia offered her hand, and Maya took it. She pulled, but not being the strongest, had to lean backwards to get her in a standing position.

"Thanks, Laia," Maya said, wiping off the dirt that surely remanined on her pants.

"I heard something about a fight," Katherine said, turning to face Rode better. "Do you think it's between Fen and Dorian?" Even as she spoke the question, she realized how obvious the answer was. But there was no use trying to take back words that had already been said, so she just waited for the answer.

"Probably," Maya agreed. Even if Fen was slightly stronger and bigger, Dorian and more anger, and was most likely smarter, just due to the fact Fen never talked. Or at least, not that Maya had ever heard.

No one answered me, Laia thought, knowing if she said it outloud people would think she was petty, and would make people shoot an odd glance her way, like she was mentally ill or something. She hated it, so had reverted to normaly speaking her replies inside her head, where whataver she said was safe.

"A moment that might happen soon," Alyss said, turning. "Looks like Dorian may began the fight early."

"Why would he do it in the middle of a hallway? Why not outside, or something?" Hiro wondered aloud. Yet he still turned to look at where ALyss was pointing. Sure enough, Dorian was making his wya towards Fen, who stood tall and silent, as usual.

Aaron had ignored Kat, and just grinned wider. He walked out of the room a second before they did, and was busy stuffing things into his locker. He had closed the door when he heard the word, "Look."

Thinking someone was speaking to him, he turned, finding nobody looking at him. But he did see Dorian walking quickly towards Fen. This'll be interesting, he thought.

Fen didn't reply further than a fractional dip of his head. As Dorian walked out the doors, Fen put his books away. He followed the way Dorian had left, his pace slow and steady, unlike the other werewolf's quicker steps.

Maya shook off Clair's grip gently. "How would you know that, Clair?" she asked, cocking her head. Her eyes were narrowed fractionally in mild confusion.

Laia shivered as she closed her eyes briefly, picturing blood and imagining the pain. She opened them, her face a shade paler. It wasn't noticable unless you looked closely. But Laia's dry mouth was certainly noticeable to her.

Alyss nodded her agreement. "Are we going to follow them?" Already, a few students were walking towards the doors, apparently excited at the possibility of a fight.

"We'll find out if we follow him," Hiro said, his tone making the answer sound as if it would be obvious to even an idiot. He had to bite his tongue to refrain from adding, 'Duh.'

"I guess we could ask aound. Or we could just follow them," Kat said, somehow gesturing to Fen, and the leaving Dorian at the same time as the students beginning to follow.

Aaron joined in Kat and Rose's comversation. "I heard about a fight to," he put in. A grin was evident on his face. "I bet it'll be awesome, too," he added.

The field was in view, and he could hear the buzz of students behind him. Fen's mouth twitched in a shadow of a smile as he saw how impatient the younger werewolf was. Dorian was pacing around the field, and even from this distance, Fen could tell his cheeks were flushed with anger.

"And thank you for maing me feel stupid," Maya muttered, inaudible to anyone but herself. Raising her voice to a volume they could hear her at, she changed her attitude to a better one. "You're right," she agreed, dipping her head fractionally in a small nod.

"I-I'm fine," Laia saif softly, her voice almost a whisper. "I just don't like fights." She seemed to go a shade paler at even the word. She could picture blood, bruises...she shivered. She struggled to swallow through her dry mouth.

"We should hurry then," Alys said. "Fen left the building a few minutes ago." She didn't want to miss the fight, the thought made her palms get damp. She wiped them on her jeans.

Hiro could tell Griffin was ignoring him, and couldn't help but roll his eyes a little. "If you guys aren't following them, like, right now, then I'm gonna leave by myself. I don't want to miss out on the action."

"THat would make it better!" Aaron said ecstatically. A sharp glare from Kat made him speak again. "Oh come on, I doubt anyone will get hurt real bad," he said. "Even if they do, there is a nurse you know."

Katherine elbowed him hard, ignoring his protest. "If you don't want to watch, I'll walk home with you," she offered. Personally, she really didn't care. She didn't even know either of them, Fen or Dorian. The whole thing was pointless really.

Fen secretly hoped Dorian's agitation was growing. He knew, though not from experience, an agitated lycan would do worse in a fight than one with a clear head. A small smile formed on his face as he pictured the outcome in his mind. Soon, he was at the edge of the field, pausing briefly before approaching.

"Let go, Clair!" Maya protested, pulling herself away from her clearly excited friend. "I can keep up without you dragging me!" She rubbed her arm where Clair had grabbed her as she ran.

"I hope not," Laia murmured, though she wasn't convinced. She was trembling ever so slightly, and silently hoped that Jack didn't notice. The were practically the only ones left, excluding the three humans that still remained inside.

Alyss ran, her blonde hair flying out behind her as she sped towards the field. She was glad of her long legs as she soon skidded to a halt, trying to find a position with a good view.

Hiro, being the competitive person he was, was basically racing Griffin to the field, panting lightly as he put all of his energy down into his legs, propelling himself forward at a quick pace.

"I guess we should hurry if we want to see it," Katherine agreed.

"I'll race you there, then," Aaron said hopefully, the sentence almost a question.

"We're not going to race, moron," Kat grinned, rolling her eyes teasingly.

"It wasn't me who brought them," Fen replied, voice slow and deep as normal.

"I'm running right beside you, Clair!" Maya pointed out. She soon skidded to a halt. "Can you see a good spot to stand?" she asked, standing on tip-toes to get a better view.

Eventually, they did reach the field, though they were walking slowly. "You go and find Clair and Maya. I think I'll stay near the back of the crowd," Laia said softly, her voice not quite so shaky as she truggled to calm down.

Alyss eventually stood near the edge of the crowd, closer to the front than some. However, she still had to stand on her toes to see properly.

Hiro didn't bother with being polite. He shoved his way through, ignoring protests and harsh words as she stood in the front of the crowd. Obviously, it would have the best view of the fight.

Aaron whistled. "That's alot of people," he said, impressed. "If I get in a fight, do you think there would be a crowd that big?"

Kat elbowed him again. "Oh, shut up, Aaron," she said. "No one would pick a fight with you."

"Hey, you never know. It could happen," Aaron said with a shrug.

"I guess they don't have lives, then," Fen said. "Shall we began?" he asked, after a moment of silence. Tension and excitement were obvious emotions in the air and in the crowd.

Maya barely managed to squeeze her way through the crowd. However, she was soon standing slightly behind Clair, wishing hshe had her thin frame. Her wistful thoughts turne dto slight disgust and surprise as she saw the Avalon wolf standing next to her friend. Sloppy, stupid Avalons, she thought, shooting a small glare his way. Her gaze soon turned to the two on the field though.

"I'll be fine," Laia said, moving towards the back of the shockingly large crowd. From this position, she could barely see, and she could slip away easily if the situation called for it.

"Oh, hey Griffin!" Alyss greeted. "No, they haven't started yet. I think they will any second now, though," she added, her tone taking a more excited turn.

"It's the fighting that's popular," Hiro replied quickly, his gaze not straying from the two lycans on the field. He was so absorbed in it that he didn't notice the Slatina werewolf beside him, or her friend who was shooting daggers at him.

"It's more of a question of who would fight a scrawny boy who acts tough but's a big teddy bear at heart," Katherine grinned.

"Oh, come on, Kay!" Aaron protested. "I'm not scrawny."

"If you say so," Katherine said, her voice lilting and teasing. It was normal banter between the two of them, no harm usually came from the teasing comments.
