[ Gwen can only accept having her ass kicked in this game for so long. Thankfully, she's tired and kind of hurts all over so that limit hasn't been reached yet.
She pauses the game when he pulls out his phone, leaning some to see what he's talking about. Her shoulder brushes his for a second. As she watches, her face goes from relaxed and happy, to...
Well, someone's in some serious trouble. She watches the video again with laser focus and even reaches up to restart it, pausing it mid-fight to study the faces on the screen. There's an irritated sigh from her and she nods. ]
Yyyyyep. That's Derek and Zach and their friends. They're the school bullies. We're not friends.
[ Not even a little bit. Pointing out Zach, she adds: ]
I got detention a few months ago for stopping him from picking on one of the younger kids at school who always wears a Pikachu hoodie.
[ And to use the same Hamilton quote she used when she told her coworkers this, the smirk on her face not the least bit sheepish nor remorseful; ]
I may have punched him. It's a blur.
[ And she'd goddamn do it again in a heartbeat. Zach, who clearly outweighs Gwen and could easily tower over her, once got a tiny blonde girl in his face and a black eye from the ballet dancer sitting beside Hawk and said ballet dancer wouldn't even hesitate if the chance came up again. ]
But, hey...that's my statue they were going after. And you're clearly one of the coolest people in town because you kept me safe even if you didn't know me then. So thank you. I really appreciate it.
