A shunt, leads to a push

Rebecca and Tiffany sat silently watching him, baffled, Danté first paged through the handbook giving Rebecca a chance to lean on Tiffany.

"Did you see how he just dominated him?" Rebecca whispered.

"It was impressive, how did he even know it was Daniel?" Tiffany whispered back.

"I told him"

Tiffany wasn't happy with that.

"Relax, you heard what he said? Daniel got the fright of his life!"

"Yes, but that never really stops him right?" Tiffany said hanging her head.

"I, I know" Rebecca said thinking if that bastard tries something she'll beat the shit out of him, but the way Danté handled that, the brutal cussing, how he even threatened Daniel's sister... Rebecca bit her lip making Tiffany elbow her.

"Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?" She asked, her smile finally back.

"What?" Rebecca asked.

"You, like the new lecturer! You always bite your underlip like that when you find a guy attractive!"

"N– no!"

"Oh! Come on Rebecca! Give it a go!"

"No! He's my tutor!"

"And that's stopping you? What about Benson then? I saw you suck his tongue out on Friday?"

Rebecca only shrugged "Benson, is, cute I guess"

"Oh~! Danté has you! He has you! I can see the sparkle in your eyes!"

"Ssh!"

"I'm gonna get his number for you!"

"No!"

"Yes!

"No Tiffy!"

"You are not my boss!"

Rebecca grabbed her head and solved her face into her chest "I'll suffocate you!"

Tiffany giggled frantically "Oh~ no~ my kryptonite! Being smothered by my best friend's bosom!"

The both giggled under their breath, red in their faces they both looked down at Danté, he was frowning, he saw that entire episode and the two shyly looked at their books.

He cleared his throat and looked at the next subject, Photosynthesis... It reminded him of Ray again, he had a poem somewhere about this, so having it memorized he looked up first.

"Photosynthesis, a life giving green, breathe the air and know that very process is pristine, yes the spring will bring color on a bright wide wing, yet its the green that breaks the ice and brings with it the fresh life giving air..." He looked at the class "I don't know the author of the poem, but it fits well with what we're about to do, open on page 310"

Rebecca sat in awe, she has heard that poem somewhere in her life, but at this moment it slipped her mind.

At the end of the day Danté patiently waited for the students to leave, then quickly packed his bag. Though it wasn't his main objective to teach, he couldn't help notice it was enjoyable, having a sense of purpose, and made him feel good about himself.

He stepped out stretching his arms but ducked behind a pillar to see Daniel walking past across the courtyard, his eyes in a glare, Danté followed that stare until it landed on Rebecca and her friend.

"Oh brilliant, the fucker probably had his ego damaged... This is why they don't ever learn!"

Following at a good distance Danté was happy he found Rebecca before she left, now serving two purposes, check on her, check on Daniel.

He walked in such a way that he passed the two girls and proceeded to shunt Tiffany, Danté finally felt himself boil over, he had enough.

Main objective is to follow Rebecca, but now he had a quick side mission, he got into his rental and followed Daniel, in a yellow Viper, of course, daddy and mommy didn't have loads of cash, but he only wants the best because he's the star quarterback.

Danté didn't care much about the faster car outrunning him, he just drove following the GPS straight to Daniel's house and there he found the yellow car, Daniel was probably making a sandwich by now.

He parked and crossed the street, discreetly looking around for prying eyes, then found the front door open, Danté inwardly grinned, you won't find this shit back in South Africa.

It was as he suspected, Daniel was already chewing that bread when Danté brought his hand up behind him and slammed the unsuspecting Daniel's face into the granite slab table.

"Don't forget to swallow you fucker!" 

Daniel screamed spewing the bread, tomato, ham and lettuce out in one breath, blood like sauce over it out his nose.

"Didn't I tell you! To fucking stay away from her!?"

"How did you find me man! How did you get in!? This is breaking an entry!"

"You utter idiot! I told you I know where you live! Didn't I warn you!?"

"I didn't touch her I swear!" He changed his story.

"Oh? A shunt leads to a push, a push leads to a blow, blows leads to kicks and soon she'll be scarred! Do you know what you are doing!? You are making her fear you! How will she focus on her work if she keeps looking over her shoulder like that!? You are indirectly fucking with her future!"

"I, it's it was just a push!"

Dante stomped him in his crotch "Fuck you! You're not listening to a word I'm saying!"

Daniel was squealing now, not wailing, his hands tucked in between his legs fetal position, the wind out of him.

"I'm sorry, too many men like you go unchecked, ending up beating your beloved wife in the future, I'm actually glad I met you this early, so since you refuse to take in the info I give with an adult mindset, I'll prevent a woman of the future from getting hurt" Dante said and kicked in a knee, braking it.

Twenty minutes later Danté walked out and stopped on the lawn not far from the door, the house had a nice front yard, very cosy, he took his canteen of clean rum and rinsed his open bleeding knuckles then washed them off with a handkerchief, he winced at the sting burn but it felt good, a reminder that he bare bone beat the shit out of that fucker with meaning.

He walked over and got to his car, threw the CCTV hard drive of Daniel's house into the passenger seat then dialled 911 "Hi, I'd like to report a kid that was attacked, he's severely injured and the attacker ran off"

Dante gave them the address and a rondom description that didn't match himself, then drove off.
