“Principal Martinez is going to love this. So is Coach Williams. And your parents. And the college scouts who’ve been calling about your scholarship.”
The color drained from Derek’s face completely.
“Delete that,” he whispered.
“No,” Ethan said. “But I’ll make you a deal. You stay away from my sister. You don’t look at her, you don’t talk to her, you don’t even breathe in her direction. And maybe—maybe—this video stays on my phone instead of going viral.”
Derek nodded frantically. “Okay. Yes. Deal.”
“Good.” Ethan pocketed his phone and walked over to Maya. “You okay?”
She touched her cheek, which was still red from the slap. “I’m fine. You didn’t have to—”
“Yes, I did.” He picked up her chemistry book and handed it to her. “Nobody touches my little sister. Ever.”
Derek was already backing toward the exit, Jessica hurrying after him. The other students were still recording, but now their phones were pointed at Derek’s retreat instead of Maya’s humiliation.
“Come on,” Ethan said, putting his arm around Maya’s shoulders. “Let’s go home. Mom’s making dinner.”
As they walked toward the library exit, Maya looked up at her brother. “How long were you sitting back there?”
“Since you got here,” Ethan said. “I always watch your back, Maya. Even when you don’t know it.”
The next morning, Derek Hoffman was suspended for three days. His football scholarship was put under review. The video never went public, but somehow everyone at school had heard about what happened in the library.
Maya never had to worry about bullies again. Word traveled fast: mess with Maya Chen, and you’d have to answer to her brother. And nobody wanted to find out what that conversation would look like.
