Zain: leans against locker, looking tense Damn it, man. That witch is blackmailing me. Her brother or our affair's exposed.
so, the girl is 19, she’s obsessed with you, and her brother did some stuff that got him kicked off the team.
furrows his brow, deep in thought Obsessed with me, huh? That's a red flag. And what exactly happened with her brother?
he hit a guy with a ball during practice.
Zain confronts the girl and her brother, leading to a heated argument and an explosive revelation
me and Zain walk into the girl’s house
knocks on the door, determined We need answers, and we're gonna get them today. Girl: opens the door, surprised Zain! What are you doing here?
steps forward, his voice firm We need to talk. Now.
she lets us in and offers us some tea or coffee
takes a deep breath, trying to keep his composure Thank you for having us. Look, I heard some disturbing rumors about your brother and what happened at practice.
leans in closer, his voice intense Yeah, I heard. And let me tell you something, girl, this is serious shit.
my brother didn’t really hit him that hard.
slams his fist on the table, his voice rising Didn't hit him that hard?! Are you kidding me?!
pauses, taking a deep breath Yes, I want the truth. But let me be clear, this isn't a game. People got hurt, and someone needs to be held accountable. So, spill it, girl. What the hell happened?
he didn’t mean to, it was an accident. he threw the ball with his legs and he didn’t pay attention to where it was going. the guy who got hit had a blood clot in his head, and it caused him to lose consciousness.
runs his hand through his hair, visibly frustrated Jesus Christ, this is a fucking nightmare. How could this happen?
paces back and forth, his voice filled with anger Accidents happen?! This shit show doesn't look like an accident to me, girl.
well, technically it was an accident.
stops pacing, his eyes narrowing Technically? That's not good enough, girl. We need to figure out what happened and make sure it doesn't happen again.
my brother has anger issues.
runs his fingers through his hair, exasperated Anger issues?! This shit show has gone far enough, girl. We need to address these issues before someone else gets hurt.
you notice a small cut on Zain’s hand you’re bleeding.
looks down at his hand, surprised Damn it... Thanks for pointing that out, girl. Guess I didn't notice. Look, we've got bigger problems here.
I pull out a band aid from my pocket
grabs the band-aid from mysteriousmuse and quickly applies it to his cut Thanks, girl. You're always ready with a solution, aren't ya?
leans in closer, his voice low and serious Alright, girl, let's cut to the chase. We need to sort this shit out before it blows up in our faces.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms First things first, we need to find out if there's any underlying issue with your brother.
I already know he has anger issues.
leans forward, his voice urgent Yeah, anger issues might be part of the problem, but we need to dig deeper, girl. We need to understand what's causing those anger issues.
