Yesseca stopped.
She knew that Montez wasn't a foolish boy.
Even though he could easily beat up the fat kid, he wasn't going to fight him.
The conflict between the children was soon resolved.
Just as Yesseca expected, even though the fat kid wanted to fight him, Montez wasn't interested in fighting at all.
After saying that, Montez let his hand go.
He didn't even look at the fat kid after, as though it wasn't worth his time.
Montez's flippant attitude further enraged the fat kid.
But the fat kid's fist still hurt after being stopped by Montez. He didn't dare to fight Montez now!
After blushing in embarrassment for some time, the fat kid quickly walked away.
Everyone in his class assumed that Montez didn't have a mother.
Because a man would come to pick Montez up
from school!
Even when the teacher asked Montez to invite his mother for school activities, Montez's mother never came!
This gave the fat kid some confidence.
He then shouted at Montez, "Of course you'd get upset when I talk about my mother. You're just jealous, because you don't have a mother at all! You're just a motherless wild beast!"
Montez glared at him with his dark eyes and said, "Say that again!"
The fat kid made a face at Montez and said, "Sure, I'll say it again! You're a motherless wild beast! Montez is a motherless wild beast!"
Montez suddenly rushed at the fat kid.
"Argh!"
With one quick yell, the fat kid was knocked down onto the ground.
Montez attacked him viciously. Even though the teacher was very quick to stop them from fighting, the fat kid's face had been beaten blue and black all over.
The fat kid was on the ground in the fetal position as he wailed, "Teacher, he hit me! He hit me!"
The teacher hadn't heard the dispute between Montez and the fat kid earlier.
