Bro, he could kill Sampson or any of the other guys so unbelievable easily. Why are they even trying? I mean why doesn't he talk back just a little for example by mentioning that he already spared Sampson ones and thus tries to get the focus away from him instead of just outright saying he won't fight which obviously is not a could way of getting out of that situation. He could talk back, embarrass Sampson and bring him out of concept but instead he says nothing and is just standing there. Also if he would have made clear from the beginning that he is not someone to be messed with (like for example connor) instead of being nice and making friends here and there these guys wouldn't even dare to try this little plan. If he wouldn't have spared Sampson or would have let himself talk down to by him like every single time they meet Sampson propably also wouldn't have dared to do something like this but he and all the others know that Rhys propably will just fall right into their trap and that no consequences will happen since he is so nice. He could also bluff and say that he is going to severly injure or kill the person who he fights with to make them nervous or maybe even back down. Rhys is basically just a flag that is waving back and forth in the wind (because the others are pushing him around without him doing anything like the wind does with the flag) and plays other people's games which they only try because they think they can get away with it because of his personality. I mean no one of them would to his to connor since they all know that connor is no one to be messed with because he at least seems to them merciless while Rhys made himself the image that people can talk down to him and nothing will happen because until now nothing ever happened. Hopefully now he will do something that they understand that he is also not someone to toy and mess with. Of course I don't know how he will get out of this situation in the next chapters and therefore I do not certainly know that my comment is valid but a least my point that he got himself into this situation because he is too nice to Sampson and others so that they can think they can play with him is certain (at least for me). If I'm not right someone can please correct me. I do not mean this as critism, I really like the book, (which is exactly because I'm even writing this, because I care) and Rhys is still young and has a lot of time to change his actions and image. I just wanted to show at least a little bit why I really do not like how he ended up in this situation. Thank you very much author that you created a book that I like so much that I really have emotions when reading that reach so far that I'm even commenting something like this because I just really care about it. This whole commentary is more of a declaration of love for this book wrapped in mild criticism of Rhy's actions. I am criticizing Rhys and not anyone else! So please, nobody should feel bad or angry at me. Maybe I'm also completely wrong and my opinion just stupid so if it is please somebody correct me. :)
