Ewan pulled Liam into a headlock, putting pressure on the other boy's neck to maybe cut off enough air he'd go out or a teacher would intervene. Whichever came first mattered little to him. Liam wasn't going to take it though, and stomped on the kelpie's foot and then bit onto Ewan's arm hard. Ewan let go and Liam turned to headbutt Ewan in the face. He could have broken his nose or not, but he didn't care. He did, however, hear Trent shout.
"Jesus fuck," he muttered and went for Van again. Ewan was hot on his tail but another were jumped in. Trent was on the floor, cradling his knee but seething. Liam had started the fight with Van and he sure as fuck was gonna finish it with him.
The boy holding Van before was still struggling to let him go and Liam ordered, "Let him go. This is between the little fuckboy and me." The were tried to let go without getting hit by Van, but it was clear he wasn't going to get away with Van getting a shot or two in on him. Liam wouldn't leave Van all that much time until he was throwing timed punches, making sure each landed before he decided where the next one would go.
