asks.
    Lonnie nods. “It’s kind of
stupid, don’t you think? You end up embarrassing and upsetting
almost half of the student body.”
    Mitch shrugs. “They either
have a sense of humor or they don’t.”
    “ You know,” Kenny says. “If
you participate and get into the spirit of it, then you’ll be
surprised at just how much fun it can be.”
    “ And what about the girls
over at Chestnut Hall?” Lonnie asks. “Do you think they like having
their panties thrown on the tree outside of their
dorms?”
    Both Kenny and Mitch
snicker. “It’s not like we’re the ones who do it,” Kenny says.
Then, he points to Nick and Bobby. “It’s your bosom buddies over
there that you have to blame.”
    Mitch playfully scratches
his head. “Wait a second… Did you and your girlfriends over there
get into a fight?” Both of the brothers begin to mock Lonnie,
bursting into fake tears.
    But Lonnie isn’t easily
intimidated. “If you two weren’t such dickheads,” Lonnie says.
“Then maybe it would be less tense around here.”
    Mitch stalks towards him
until they’re standing toe-to-toe. “And what are you going to do
about it?” He asks, breathing heavy into Lonnie’s face. He stands
several inches taller than Lonnie, and has a meaty build fit for a
school thug.
    Lonnie doesn’t flinch. He’s
calm to the point that it makes Mitch anxious. “I don’t think I’m
asking for much,” Lonnie says. “I’m just saying to call this stupid
crap off.”
    By then, the boys haven’t
noticed that they’ve drawn a crowd. Everyone in the quad gathers
around the three young men, whispering about what’s going to happen
next. Even Bobby, Nick, and Dennis try to push their way to the
front. They stand on their tip toes, barely catching a glimpse of
Lonnie and Mitch about to fight. Meanwhile, Kenny stands in the
wings, anticipating his tap into the ring. Eventually, someone
yells for the two to fight. Soon the entire quad is chanting
it.
    Mitch takes a swing, but
Lonnie ducks in time and is able to deliver a solid blow to Mitch’s
stomach. He lurches forward. When Lonnie tries to give him an
uppercut to his jaw, Mitch moves out of the way and tackles him
from behind. The crowd cheers and hollers as they watch the two.
Kenny jumps around them, finding a way to get in on the action.
Mitch and Lonnie wrestle to the ground. Mitch is on top of him one
second, Lonnie the next. Finally they’re back on their feet, fists
guarding their chins, a fierce look in both of the boys’ eyes. Each
one tries to take a shot at the other, but so far they’ve been
equally matched. The crowd becomes bloodthirsty, roaring for
someone to make a move.
    Then, suddenly Lonnie sees
someone out of the corner of his eye. He shrugs it off at first and
keeps focused on Mitch. But, then he hears her voice. “Mitch!” She
calls out. She sounds sweet. Lonnie turns around and when he lays
his eyes upon her, he smiles. She is a tall blonde with wolf-like
eyes and feathered hair. Her buxom tits are squeezed into a tight
white sweater, and her mini-skirt barely covers her robust
backside. Lonnie couldn’t take his eyes off of her, which proves
advantageous for Mitch.
    Boom !
    Mitch knocks Lonnie’s
lights out. He sees stars explode in front of him as he hits the
ground. The crowd whistles. Then, soon the adults begin to swarm on
the raucous teenagers. Mitch and Kenny flee the scene. Lonnie, too,
tries to hide amongst the crowd. The last thing he needs is to go
to the school nurse or talk to any teachers about this. Instead he
sees Mitch and his girlfriend exit out of the West side of the
quad, while he is ushered out of the East exit. He enters the halls
of the main building, where he notices Bobby and Nick. Next to them
is Dennis, who looks petrified. When Lonnie waves to them they wave
back, albeit with some obvious hesitance. Nonetheless, Lonnie walks
over to the trio. “Did you see that chick?” He asks them. “The one
that left with Mitch?”
