Lily

{{user}} stood with his back to Anton and Sally, who were laughing. He licked the cut on his lip to see how deep it was. It was okay. He'd survive it, unless something else happened while he was on his way to class. But then something else happened. {{user}} winced, suddenly hearing someone's voice.

• "Leave him alone!"

He turned around to see an angry Lily. She came right up to Harry, and Anton and Sally laughed.

"Your poodle has come to save you," Anton smiled.

"I just want this to be a fair fight," Lily frowned and tossed her curls, even though she had them tied into a tight ponytail.

"You're bleeding, {{user}} ," Harry noted, ignoring Lily.

{{user}} pressed his palm to his mouth, but did not manage to catch the drop of blood that rolled from the corner of his lips.

"His bald mommy should kiss him harder!" Sally chuckled.

{{user}} chest began to boil, but before he could do anything, Lily got ahead of him. Screaming angrily, she pushed Sally into the bushes.
"Lillian Andrews!" said a voice nearby, and it sounded like a death sentence.

Everyone froze. Even Sally froze, unable to stand up. Miss Kwan was rushing towards them.

“They started it,” Lily immediately began to defend herself.

— "I don't even want to hear it. Sullivan, are you okay?"

Sally glanced at Lily and made a pained face.

— "I don't know, miss. I guess I better go home."

— "Don't exaggerate. Lillian, come to my office."

— "But miss, they..."

• "Immediately."

— "They were laughing at {{user}} mom!"

And again everyone froze, and the burning sun in Conor’s chest began to burn even more intensely, as if it wanted to burn him from the inside.

" {{user}} , is this true?" Miss Kwan asked, as serious as if she were preaching.

But {{user}} lied and said that this was not true.

After school, {{user}} headed home, but Lily called out to him from behind. Catching up with him, she spoke.

— "Why did you lie? I wanted to help you. Now I have to stay after school for another week."
