Kyran was caught off guard by the force of Alba's shove. He stumbled backward and crashed sideways onto the lunch table, where he landed directly into the lunch trays that were there, sending a wave of vibration throughout, which in turn knocked down the can of orange soda and other drinks along with a few other pieces of food indirect to his fall. Kyran slid over the surface of the table, the contents of the lunch and spilled drinks acting as a lubricant of sorts, knocking back the trays to the edges of the table. He could hear the clatter of a few of those trays as he found himself almost slipping off the opposite end of the table from which Alba had shoved him.
It was like middle school all over again. The bully shoving him down in front of everyone. Kyran could feel the eyes of every student in the lunch room staring at his table, some even getting up to get a closer look at the action and see his shameful situation. He lifted himself up, feeling smashed meat balls, gravy and white mash all over the front and side of his short sleeve over-shirt. Kyran could feel his temperature rise as he stared in Adonis's direction. He wanted to hit the other boy for making him look like a wimp and shoving him. His father always told him that a man should be tough and not let anyone walk all over them. His mother on the other hand didn't appreciate that philosophy. However, this was one of those moments where he would be justified in that case. Maybe his mom would understand.
Brad was turning even more attention onto them, as he started shouting and berating Adonis and even threatening to tell the teachers about it. All Kyran could think of was: Really? Brad wanted to run off and tell a teacher that people were breaking rules? The chess club kid was definitely a goody two shoes. He could respect that course of action as his mother always did, but this just wasn't the way that Kyran wanted it to all end. It wasn't his style to have a teacher handle it for him. He could take care of his own problems.
Then an idea came to him when Adonis answered back to Brad. Rachael and Arthur started saying something, but it might as well have been drowned out as Kyran directed all his own attention to the bully. His hand went to the section of mashed potatoes smeared across the table and he rolled it up into a ball. He looked at Adonis who was completely distracted by Brad and then looked at his friend Gray with a crooked half smile, mixed with some visible annoyance.
"Watch this."
The young baseball player aimed and then launched the ball of mashed potatoes with his pitching arm toward Adonis's oblivious face.
Then something magical happened. He didn't know exactly happened, but Gray shouted something outloud and suddenly the commotion in the cafeteria spread even outside their table to other surrounding tables. Sloppy Joe sandwiches, pudding, spaghetti, and whatever else on the menu began flying through the air from the other students of various grades and ages looking to take advantage of their situation to have some fun. It was like a scene straight out of Animal House.
Kyran however was still focused on Adonis. He quickly moved forward to where his former football teammate was standing and shoved him back in retaliation, right into the same table of food which Adonis had shoved Kyran onto just a few minutes earlier.
"Hit me again. I dare you."
Alba stood up from the table, a pissed look on his mashed potato covered face as he stared at Kyran, flexing his muscles and gritting his teeth in an attempt to intimidate him.
"Yeah, what if I do?" Adonis said in response.
Kyran rolled up his long sleeve undershirt to where his short sleeve over-shirt met his elbows and kept steady eye contact with the other boy.
"Find out."
