<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff">Art glanced over to Kori, he coughs the look she gave him and he gave her one in return. He didn’t trust her, not for a second, and his look showed it. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8000ff">“Yah Kori, that's what I was trying to tell him myself! Hell, I bet you could leave a bigger mark with your hand than she did with her folder!” </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff">He said before turning back to the teacher standing in front of them. </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8000ff">“Like I said Coach, it was just a  joke! A playful fight between friends.” </span><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff"><br/>
Coach Green stood there for a moment speechless. He wanted to get onto Art for cursing but he was too shocked that these two where both vouching for this little nobody. He knew Art would do that, the young man normally did stupid things when this young goth was involved. It wasn’t a bad thing per-say, but the girl did distract Art from playing his best in his humble option so he would jump at any chance he got to separate the two when he could. but now there was Korina Morella, the ace of the gymnastics team who was sticking up for her too! This was a problem, he knew she had the favor of one of his colleagues, to the point that she was allowed a copy of the gym key to practice any time she wanted. If either of them had tried to stop him alone he would have dismissed them and kept going, but together? <br/>
<br/>
The coach rubbed his chine for a moment before he sighed</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300"> “all right,”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff"> then looking back at Dark he said, </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300">“I’ll let you off with a warning this time Miss. Thoroughbred, but if I catch you hitting ANY other student for no reason again, it’s an oneway ticket home for at least 3 days, you got it?”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff"> Dark nodded slowly in response, “</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b300">good, now git to class, all of you!”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff"> He said as he let go of her arm. He gave a slight nod to Kori and Art and walked away.<br/>
<br/>
Dark stood there for a second with her eyes cast down to the ground, </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">“t-thank you both...”</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ffff"> she muttered before she started to run away from the two of them, tears falling from her eyes.</span>
