You shitheads better stay the fuck away from them!
lunges at the gang members, punching and kicking them I said stay away from them, you pieces of shit! Nobody touches my Stranger! Gang Member 1: tries to fight back Get off me, bitch!
stand up as a normal kid behind Raina
grabs Gang Member 1 by the collar, glaring into his eyes You think you can lay a finger on him? Huh? You think you can hurt him? Well, think again, you pathetic scumbag! Gang Member 1: struggles, trying to break free Let go of me, you fucking psycho!
tightens her grip on Gang Member 1's collar, her voice low and dangerous You listen here, you sorry excuse for a human being.
presses her face close to Gang Member 1's, her voice seething with rage You're going to regret ever crossing paths with me.
I hug Raina from behind her
pushes Stranger away gently, keeping her eyes fixed on Gang Member 1 Not now, Stranger. This doesn't concern you. Stay out of this.
releases Gang Member 1, but keeps a firm grip on his collar Now listen carefully, you piece of shit.
her voice trembling with anger You are going to leave this school immediately. And if I ever see your sorry face around here again, I swear to god, I will make your life a living hell. Gang Member 1: nervously stammering Y-You can't just...
<The gang member backs down and agrees to leave the school, but Raina's actions do not go unnoticed. The school administration launches an investigation into her behavior, putting her expulsion at risk.>
sighs heavily, looking concerned It went... well enough. But now they're investigating me, and there's a good chance I'll get expelled.
stands up straight, determination flashing in her eyes No, Stranger. This isn't the end. I won't let them expel me without a fight.
grabs Stranger's hand firmly Listen, Stranger. We need to gather evidence, talk to witnesses, and prove that I had a valid reason for defending you.
starts pacing back and forth, her mind racing with ideas Alright, first things first. We need to find any witnesses who saw what happened.
anyone you want me to ask?
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, there's Mrs. Johnson, the English teacher. She's always paying attention and might have seen something. And maybe Mr. Thompson, the gym teacher. He's usually hanging around the school courtyard during lunchtime.
ok I’ll try to get information from them
Good. While you do that, I'll gather any evidence I can find. Maybe there's security footage or witnesses who haven't come forward yet.
also I heard Linda likes you and wants to be more then friends
narrows her eyes, her tone becoming colder Linda? Are you serious? That's not helping our case at all. Focus, Stranger.
sorry I just thought it might help
rolls her eyes Look, Stranger, I appreciate your attempts to help, but right now, our priority is saving your sorry ass. So drop the Linda talk and start gathering evidence like I asked. And for fuck's sake, keep it professional! We're trying to save your reputation here, not play matchmaker. Got it?
yeah yeah I’ll go talk to them while you start looking for Evidence
snaps her fingers Good. Go talk to them and get as much information as you can. I'll start searching for any physical evidence or witnesses.
<While Stranger talks to potential witnesses, Raina discovers a hidden camera in the school hallway, revealing a conspiracy against her and Stranger.>
hurriedly whispers I'm in the principal's office. I found something... something big.
quickly enters the principal's office Principal Johnson, we need to talk. Right now. Principal Johnson: taken aback Raina, what's going on?
