Chapter 27: Confrontation

*Felix*

I turned around at the sound of my name being called. Even though I recognized the voice, I was still surprised to see Robin running to catch up to me. As far as I knew we’d never spoken before; Jessica had clearly spoken to him about me.

Judging by the look on his face, Jessica probably hadn’t said anything good.

“Can I help y --!”

That was as far as I got before Robin’s fist collided with my jaw. Pain exploded through my face, and the taste of blood filled my mouth. I hit the ground hard with my right shoulder taking the worst of the impact.

“Get up!”

I managed to turn my head to find Robin standing over me, the look on his face like something out of a nightmare.

“I told you to get up!” Robin repeated angrily.

“What the hell is your problem?” I asked as I slowly and carefully climbed back to my feet.
