"Are you sure he's gonna be alright? Maybe one of us should go help him" Jen said to Lillian.
"I... I don't know for sure, but I know to trust his word. If he says he'll manage, I'll believe it... besides, he does know some boxing, his dad taught us actually" Lillian reassured her.
"Aww... is mama hen worried about her little chicken?" Toxic Lily mocked Jen.
"What the fuck is your problem?" Lillian growled.
"You two are my problem!" Toxic Lily replied with a frown, having seemingly shifted moods real fast.
"Can't stand seeing you keeping him like your goddamned lapdog, coddling him all the time..." She ranted.
"So protecting our friend from bullies and skanks is 'coddling'?" Lillian said, she noticed that Jen was getting too angry to speak, and while confrontation had gone past the point of no return, Lillian at least wanted to buy some time to think of an actual attack plan, which she herself found ironic, being usually the more impulsive of the two.
"You can't even do that right. The moment you left him alone he was close to getting beaten..." Toxic Lily arrogantly smiled, making Lillian's blood boil.
"Oh, I wonder whose fault that was" Lillian growled.
"Listen, fatso. If you're gonna try and claim a boy to yourself, or whatever weird arrangement you two have, you either protect him or teach him to defend himself. Look at those boys" She said, pointing at the trio she called.
"Nobody messes with those guys. Either they beat whoever is bothering them themselves, or I'll step in and make them regret ever thinking it was a good idea" She boasted.
"So you're saying Blaise would be better off as your lackey?" Lillian sounded close to being fully exasperated, but somehow, she needed to hear it from the horse's mouth to make her blood fully boil.
"Hell yeah! I'm a much better boss than you two are 'pet owners'. Seriously, the moment you two let him out of your sight he was on the floor on all fours!" Toxic Lily laughed.
"Okay, I've about had it with your bullshit..." Lillian stretched her arms and cracked her knuckles.
"It looked like he was giving you trouble though" Jen finally spoke, her fists were shaking in sheer rage.
"Hmph, only because I was messing around" Toxic Lily smugly shrugged while both Jen and Lillian angrily sighed.
"Well, weren't you two gonna put me in my place or something?" She taunted them and got into a fighting position. Neither girl was kidding, and by the glares they were shooting her, both Jen and Lillian looked like they wanted to murder her in the most brutal way they could.
But that only added to the thrill of a fight for Lily, she loved to make her enemies' blood boil, even if that meant they'd fight at their strongest, because then, when she'd soundly defeat them, they'd be utterly broken, having completely failed to beat her despite having every chance to do so. It was part of how she could even bend strong athletic people to her will, because she showed that she could thoroughly wipe the floor with them even if they tried their hardest, and many indeed broke. Such was the case of the 3 guys she currently had sicced on Blaise.
Lillian was the first to rush her, trying to wrestle her to the floor, but they were fairly close in terms of raw physical strength, and Toxic Lily managed to resist, though Lillian was slowly pushing her back and adding downwards pressure, which her feet and ankles soon felt. Their hands were locked tight together, but she hadn't thought much of it until she suddenly remembered she was fighting not one but two opponents at a time.
While she had been busy with Lillian, she failed to notice that Jen had flanked her and was waiting for the right time to strike. Her eyes widened when she saw the fury in her eyes.
'Not in the face again, goddamnit!' She thought, and indeed, Jen angrily punched her in the face, and, as an added insult to an existing injury, it had been on the same spot she had first punched her, the bruise got darker as a result.
'FUCK!' She then thought, but didn't get the chance to say it out loud as Jen attacked her a second time, she punched her in the torso, just below the ribs.
Her gut felt an immense amount of pain, being naturally exposed without any sort of bony protection, and while Lily was vaguely fit (boasting pretty fatty curves of her own), she lacked the hardened muscles to protect that region of the body, as the likes of Ariadne or Coach Amber would've had.
Seeing that Toxic Lily was wincing in pain, Lillian applied more strength and pushed her with all her might, throwing her to the floor, landing on her back, after which Jen tried kicking her in the head, but she narrowly avoided that by rolling away from her just on the nick of time.
" *huff* Dammit...*puff* I see you're taking this seriously..." Toxic Lily slammed her fist on the floor before she got up and gave them a threatening smile while wiping a little bit of blood from the corner of her lips with her other hand, also closed into a fist.
'Gotta give it to them, on their own they were already a nuisance... together they might be a challenge...' She thought, but that only made her own excitement grow, as well as her desire to beat two of her most bitter enemies fighting together, which was was a high-risk righ-reward situation to her, it'd be the ultimate humiliation to two of the few that dared oppose her, and probably would make an example to the rest.
Meanwhile, you had your back against the lockers, but unlike with Lily, this time that was an asset in your favor, as it ensured none of these guys would be able to sneak up on you from behind, all 3 were within visual range. Your arms and legs ached a little, but you decided to ignore that and prepared for a fight as well.
'Brendan's the most dangerous, but ignoring the others would cost me dearly' You thought, struggling a little to keep your focus on all three as they approached you, Brendan was in the middle, logically, with the other two at your left and right.
"Fine. Let's dance" You said with a confident chuckle. You saw that they paused, their own confidence wasn't as high given the treatment they constantly got from Lily, and you hoped that every bit you could demoralize them paid off. It wasn't exactly fighting fair, but it was 3 on 1 and you needed every trick that could be pulled off.
The three guys lunged at you, and as you expected, Byrne was the fastest, dodging his punch and retaliating with a square hit to the face that knocked him on his back.
"Shit!" Balthazar yelled, somehow not fully expecting you to fight back this hard, despite the warning you gave them. You then prepared for the incoming impact as Brendan reached you and tried to shoulder-tackle you. You guarded with your arms, but he still pushed you against the lockers, although with nowhere near as much force as Lily did, but then again, you were prepared for this one unlike then.
Brenan then began throwing punches at you, and with no room to escape, you were forced to block them while looking for a good chance to turn things around. His experience as an occasional bully and a football player still didn't quite make him a fighter, as you saw that most of his hits, while powerful, were quite telegraphed, and his attack pattern was quite predictable.
Seeing that he pulled his right arm back for a stronger punch, you blocked it using your elbow, its sharp bony surface wreaking havoc on the blond's fist, who howled in pain. Not wasting a moment, you punched him in the abdomen, going for a kidney blow before punching him in the liver. You didn't hate this guy, but needed to put him out of commission asap. However, despite taking a direct hit, he was still standing on his feet, though you saw that hit alone must've sapped a considerable portion of his strength, as he was in severe pain, breathing heavily. You tried pushing forward and strike his solar plexus, the part where the chest meets the abdomen, but Brendan was pushed out of the way by Balthazar, who narrowly avoided taking that hit himself.
"Man, what's wrong with you?!" He said.
"It's like Brendan said, 'nothing personal', but if you guys are gonna try and beat me up I can't just stand there and take it" You replied.
"Right now my friends are fighting your so-called boss, so I can't really waste much time here" You added, noticing that Byrne was back on his feet and Brendan stepped back to try and recover. You clenched your fists, this would take a bit longer...
Back with the girls, Jen had taken on the initiative, aggressively attacking Toxic Lily with all of her raw, unfiltered fury. Her punches didn't miss their mark, but Lily blocked a good portion of them, and enduring those that she could not. Even though her enmity with Lillian was the most bitter out of the two, she noticed that Jen seemed to hate her the most, or at least, she was far more willing to go for the throat. Lillian, who knew her for far longer, was just trying to help Jen but wasn't going all out like she was. Lily's arms were giving her painful pulses as they repeatedly endured Jen's fists angrily slamming into them, getting a few bruises in the process, but she wasn't about to let that stop her, and merely waited. Lillian however did notice the look in her eyes...
"Are you sure he's gonna be alright? Maybe one of us should go help him" Jen said to Lillian.
"I... I don't know for sure, but I know to trust his word. If he says he'll manage, I'll believe it... besides, he does know some boxing, his dad taught us actually" Lillian reassured her.
