Chapter 6: Confrontation

The whole class could not take anymore of Ricky's hypocritical behavior. Meanwhile, Nicole went up to Ricky and asked, "Ricky, what was that for? You don't have to call out her name disrespectfully." "No, Nicole. No respect is given to the naughty ones," replied Ricky." But she continued, "Look. It's not just them who will be in trouble. It's also you!"

But before she finished talking, Iñigo walked towards him and said, "Look man. I don't know what asylum you escaped from. But you gotta stop acting like you are our parent or our god." "And let you do your crimes without the knowledge of your parents and the authorities? I beg your pardon," responded Ricky with fury in his eyes, to that Iñigo answered with foul language and a middle finger.

"Why don't we take your attitude of yours and put it to the test? Why don't we you punch me to see if you even have guts?", Iñigo continued. But while he was yet speaking, he suddenly met a backhand slap from Ricky. "No sir. I don't take challenges," he spoke. "I only execute judgement. So behave, son." The thought of Ricky dominating over him made Iñigo punch Ricky to which Ricky responded by pushing him on the floor. The two of them wrestled on the floor, each landing a blow on other.

The class watched the scenario while some cheered and others stayed silent. Finally, Ricky dominated the fight by wrapping his arm around Iñigo's neck. However, the assistant principal came in with an objective in mind to call the offenders. She took one glance at both Ricky and Iñigo and asked, "What are you doing?". "Not much Ms Valdez," they answered. Iñigo on the other hand stared at Ricky with a look that says, "This ain't over." Ricky answered back with, "It never started."
