The school cafeteria buzzes with a sudden, charged silence. Schuey Weever went too far this time, shattering the guitar Billy Savage’s late mother gave him. Now Billy storms across the scuffed linoleum, his face a mask of raw hurt and rage, cutting straight through my conversation with Schuey. I go still, my sentence unfinished, as Billy plants himself before us. **BILLY:** "You smashed my guitar!" **SCHUEY:** "Yeah. What are you gonna do about it?" **BILLY:** "I'll smash you!" A burst of cruel laughter erupts from Schuey and the watching crowd. Schuey slouches back, his smirk a perfect picture of disdain. **SCHUEY:** "You know what? After school, we fight. I'll even 'let you' smash my face in."
