We are never ever ever gettin' back together

Z was too angry to realize the deep pit he was digging himself into, he'd been watching this guy manipulate and play his friend since they'd gotten together, desperately trying to get her out of that situation before it became dangerous, before he watched someone else that he loved fall into that kind of trapping pit. He refused to let that happen, but he also was aware that this was the way Luke had wanted this to go, because now he was the victim, now he was the one coming out of this with bashes and bruises. There was a lesson here, Z knew it, but he was too angry and in the moment to really grasp it just yet.

He knew he was fucked the moment Luke slapped his hands away, he had no time to even react as he was suddenly throw and quickly overpowered, letting out a surprised yelp as he was abruptly completely pinned under the other boy's weight on top of him, despite his best efforts to struggle, Luke was trained, he was not, and he was helpless beneath him. His eyes widened at the whispered threat even more so when he saw him swing down his elbow, flinching visibly and letting out a startled gasp, only cracking an eye when he realized he'd caught his own elbow, taunting him with the following smacks to his own hand, "you're fucking sick..." He hissed, glaring hatred up at him.

He hated how perfectly Luke orchestrated all of this, how perfectly he hid the fact that he'd cut off Z's ability to breath, leaving him unable to do much more than struggle as he closed his eyes tight against the pressure on his neck, panicking ever so slightly as was natural when one found they suddenly could not breath. He didn't even give Luke's parting words a second thought, but took in a deep breath of air when he released his neck, only having a moment of relief before Luke landed a savage nut shot on him, causing him to let out a loud yelp as he rolled over and curled up, hissing in pain.

He appreciated Dianne being there, appreciated her trying to get Luke off of him, and when she offered her hand he took it with the one that was uninjured, still sore as hell where he'd been kicked as he leaned back against the lockers, "thanks Dianne..." He could hear people whispering, looking at him with nasty glares, so there it was, all these idiots couldn't think critically for one second, of course, they'd only shown up after Luke hurled his horrid words at him and his friends and family. This was exactly what he'd wanted.

He glanced up when the teacher approached, looking undeterred by his presence and uncaring as the boy explained what happened, or what Luke wanted them all to think happened. It was lies, disgusting lies. He glanced up and stalked after the teach as he led him away, sending an apologetic look at Dianne before slipping into his office.

Z was still buzzing with anger as he was led limping into the teacher's office, glaring pure malice at Luke who was playing the perfect victim, all wincing and pretending, but seeing the little shit bleed was darkly satisfying as he watched him dab and touch the blood trailing from his lip, "I didn't say shit." He kept his gaze trained hard on Luke, as if he was barely containing the urge to jump back on him right here and now, "you conniving little stain." He knew he wasn't helping his case, but he was to pissed off and sore to care, he was almost sure a couple of his fingers were broken, as they'd swelled up terribly and he couldn't seem to move them quite right, but at this point showing that would do no good. Luke already had this damn teacher wrapped.

When the teacher asked if he had anything to add he gestured to Luke with the hand not throbbing and swollen, "I'd punch his face again if you'd let me." There was a menacing growl as he glared daggers at him, "just call her, I'd rather be sent home that have to look at this little bastard's conniving face." He sent a dangerous glare at Luke though, "but if you lay one, single hand on Dianne when you talk to her. I'll cut it off." After that, he turned back to stare at the floor, eyes dark and guarded now.
