When students from Oceanford College pinned Gregory down, Cloudsville College students instantly clashed with them.
"Damn! We're here for a basketball match, and you attack our people!" one shouted.
"Who gave you the guts to pick on our Cloudsville people on our turf?" another retorted.
Students from both sides fought fiercely, blurring friend from foe.
Angeline shouted several times, "Stop, or I'll call the police!"
Eventually, they ceased fighting. The thought of police involvement and potential disciplinary action calmed them down while security separated the students.
Gregory spat out blood-stained saliva. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, glaring fiercely at the Oceanford students.
Soon, the team leader from Oceanford and the teacher coordinating the match from Cloudsville hurried over.
"What's this mess? You're here for a friendly match but end up fighting at the host school?" the Oceanford teacher scolded their students.
The Cloudsville teacher also reprimanded their students.
"What are you doing? They're our guests, and you punch them? Do you want a disciplinary record?"
"It was them! They insulted Cloudsville students first!" Gregory protested, pointing at the opposing side.
"You started it!" an Oceanford student retorted, pointing back at Gregory.
Both sides were ready to erupt again, seeming on the verge of another clash.
Angeline stepped forward to explain the situation to both teachers and played a recording from her phone.
The boy who came over to retrieve the ball hadn't expected Angeline to record their conversation. His face turned pale.
"I reserve the right to pursue legal action," Angeline stated as she pocketed her phone.
She asked the boy, "Which department at Oceanford University are you from? What's your name?"
