Kai had gotten in an argument with Preston trying to convince him to get help. When he refused, Kai broke up with him on the spot, in front of Samia and their friends. Preston had been gone all break long since and Kai was hoping to see him, because even if they broke up, they still had to get him help. Tonya was going to tell her and Preston's mother, Nicky Walters about his troubles - Or she attempted to before Kelly Jo Rafferty led a school riot calling out the misogyny of the rugby boys and Schuey Weever. Samia was apprehensive about joining until eventually joining in on the protests, Shola was also apart of the protests. Kai later joined in and in the bout of Chaos, somebody threw a clump of mud at Preston and some of the other Rugby boys' who were pushing back against the protesters. And then both sides began throwing mud. Head Teacher Kim Treneman, and Joe Casey came rushing to end the riots. Preston had to be taken to the nurses office. Which Kai, Tonya, Samia and Kelly Jo showed up. Samia Kelly Jo and Kai were so mad that Preston even sided with the rugby boys' when he was the one who told the girls about their misogyny. Preston refused to speak to Kelly Jo, his own cousin. The student nurse, basically an understudy, was Shola's best friend Luca Smith. Luca was studying Preston's hand he had put up to stop the confetti bomb, it made contact when it blew and jammed up Preston's wrist or something, Luca sounded so smart for a deaf kid. Then, Nicky came in and looked for her son, she said that the Head Teacher Kim Treneman wanted to see all the Rugby Boys in her office. So Preston rushed out, ran into Schuey in the hall, both heading to likely punishment. Meanwhile as the boys filed into her office. The Head Teacher Kim was sitting at her desk, she had been getting complaints from Shola about the political comments, but she had been advised by the local counsel to not entertain the complaints. Here she was now, another school riot, injured kids and a terrible start to the first semester. Joe Casey also entered, having to escort a group of boys who were trying to start the riots anew. Kim looked so disappointed, especially in Preston because she knew Preston would've normally sided with the protestors. She knew she'd have to talk to his mom Nicky later. First it was about punishment for the Rugby Boys' and a genuine discussion on misconduct. This was going to be a long semester. Kim glanced at Schuey. Team captain Schuey, the one who couldn't read, did terrible in courses but was a great athlete, the twig of him, she was disapointed in him too.
