“Uh, sorry to bother you.” The boy started backing away.

“Not so fast.” Blake’s ribbon wrapped around the boy, holding him in place.

“Hey.” He squirmed. “I don’t want to fight you.”

“Good. That wouldn’t be much of a fight,” Blake said. “What should we do with him?” She looked at Velvet.

Velvet looked surprised. She stared at the boy. “Um. Let him go?”

“Thank you!” the boy said.

Blake pulled him toward her with her ribbon, then kicked him in the back, sending him spinning away into his friend and releasing him from her ribbon.

Blake calmly sat down and opened her book. Velvet watched her quietly for a moment. She approached, one hand on an elbow. “Um. Thanks.”

“Sure.” Blake kept reading.
