In the morning chill, Kale Trent zeroed in on the Headmaster. Rosier had a dumb face, he mused. The fifth year wasn't so far gone that he didn't look at that absolute rodent, trash man and not H A T E his face. Anger was the only emotion that didn't seem impossible to harness lately and it flared up in him in unexpected moments. And it was always, ALWAYS, related to this cow.

The only thing that kept him in check was the promise he'd made all of his friends. Don't die, they'd asked. The fifth year wasn't convinced he had much control over that request, but he would try not to make extra waves. Not that Rosier ever seemed to need an excuse when it came to him.

There was a special kind of bad blood between the two.

Kale lurched to awareness when he felt the steady hand of Cece as she stepped next to him in the restless crowd. It helped remind him of his promise. But only just when Rosier started picking kids out of the crowd. Rounding them up. His friends and sister on the list of the unlucky.

When one of the Hooded Losers grabbed his arm and yanked him from Cece's grasp, he forcefully bit the inside of his cheek to stop himself from shouting out in protest. People expected him to act up. Rebel. Heck, maybe Rosier was even counting on it, but he wouldn't. Not here. Not now. Not when other kids could be punished in the crossfire.

The anger that was festering in him, poisoning his lil pink-haired brain, felt fit to explode. Later, he had to remind himself. Pick your moments, Trent.

"It's okay," he managed to tell the people closest to him. "You're going to be okay," Kale singled out his little sister.
