Chapter 22 Are You Leaving, Or Do I Have To Make You Leave? “Shut up if you don’t know anything! You can tell that those three are here to cause trouble with just a glance!” A parent who knew what was going on yelled. “From what I can see, those thugs tried to hit on this pretty lady over there and found out that she was with someone who they could mess around with!” Another parent who had witnessed it all gloated out loud. “But what’s with this guy?
