Low chuckling indicated that this probably wasn't an innocent accident. It was hardly coincidence that two of the football players who hassled Sam and Iggy before happened to be standing nearby, minus one history book. "Whassamatter, faggot?"
Hope had been walking toward Iggy when she saw the dirty trick the boys pulled. She took to the air, her blood boiling. They didn't even see her until she crashed into them. She hit the first guy behind the head so hard that he crumpled to the ground. She slammed the other guy into the brick wall. "What the fuck do you think you're doing, you worthless little piece of shit?" She kicked the guy on the ground in the shoulder, then stood on him with one foot while she gripped the second guy by the throat.
