Claire could have dodged Jasper's mom without breaking a sweat. Still, she couldn't deny how good it felt to have someone step up for her.
The showdown between the moms was just too wild to ignore. Claire ended up grabbing her phone to catch it all on video.
"Not from this angle," Sophia whispered, sliding over to help. "If you're filming, make sure my mom's the star. She'd love to see herself later."
Darcey caught them at it and nearly blew a gasket. These two really had no shame.
Two male teachers rushed in, trying to separate the moms. It wasn't easy, mostly because Bonnie was so heavy. Cicely, on the other hand, kept her cool the whole time, stopping whenever Bonnie backed off.
“Ladies, is this really the example you want to set for your kids?”
“We're here to fix things, not start a brawl!" Darcey called out, too nervous to get close. She threw a sharp look at Sophia and Jasper. "Aren't you two going to stop your mothers?"
Jasper finally snapped out of it. "Mom, enough! You're not going to win anyway!"
He'd actually been kind of happy when he saw his mom about to smack Claire. The girl deserved it, in his opinion. But then someone stopped her at the last second, and when his mom and Sophia's mom started going at it, he honestly thought his mom would win. She was big and strong. How could she lose?
Clearly, he hadn't learned anything from losing to Sophia. The way his mom was getting wrecked was basically a repeat of his own defeat.
Bonnie looked ready to go for round two, but the moment her son yelled at her, all her fight fizzled out.
"You useless thing. You just stood there and watched," Bonnie snapped at him, her frustration boiling over until she wondered why she even bothered with him.
"Mom, if you can't beat her, what
makes you think I can?" Jasper shot back. "couldn't even beat her daughter. If jumped in we ajust
have another loser on our team."
Honestly, he was sure Sophia would have jumped in and handed him another beating. He'd seen her stretching her arms, clearly itching for a fight.
Chabru
Bonnie had a bruise forming on her lip. Cicely's hair was a mess, but otherwise, she seemed fine. She
spat on the floor. "That Wet
infuriating. I can't stand
go for the hair in a fight." When she was younger, she'd kept her hair short, which made fighting way easier. But her mother had worried she'd never get married if she kept getting into scuffles and made her grow it long. After so many years, Cicely had learned to act proper in public. Still, sometimes she just couldn't hold it in, especially with someone like Bonnie pushing her buttons.
"Mom, you were awesome. Totally didn't embarrass me." Sophia gave her mom's shoulder a proud pat.
Claire grinned and gave a big thumbs up. "You were the best!"
Cicely just laughed. "I can't stand anyone trying to hit a kid."
Meanwhile, Adolph had already gone to call the dean. Things had definitely gotten out of hand.
The dean came rushing in, breathless and looking like he hadn't run in years. "Bonnie, Cicely, what on earth are you doing fighting at school?”
Sophia's mom jumped in right away. "I didn't want to fight. But some people just go too far, trying to slap a kid in the face!"
Bonnie shouted back, her voice
echoing down the hallway. "Her
daughter hit my son first, and
I'm the one who got beaten up!
now
I'm
calling the cops!
"This needs to be sorted out, or I'll go public about how this school lets girls bully my son."
"And I want both of them expelled, right now!"
