Chapter 20 The Savior Of The Weak And Defenseless"

• Adams chuckled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his laughter. "Come on man, you're overthinking this. I mean, I just had to help in both cases. Even if it happened to be someone other than her, I would have done the same. Imagine those fools wanted to have their way with her, and they might even kill her to make sure she doesn't tell on them... I just had to do something. And today, they were beating a weak boy and a girl! Come on, I had to do something about that. I mean, wouldn't you?" he said.
• "Man, I don't know... I mean, there will always be bullies and those being bullied. This is high school. It won't change. That's how it has been since the founding of time. So what's the point of trying to help today when they will probably get bullied the next day and the next and the next after that?" Noah said, repeating those last words for emphasis.
• "I know how the world works. I don't need you to remind me of that. There will always be jerks and bullies, not only in high school but in every facet of our lives. But that doesn't mean it's okay, and we shouldn't do anything to stop it because you can't imagine the trauma they go through unless you have gone through it yourself," Adams said, speaking with a tone of conviction, his voice rising in defense of his actions.
