"Hang on, Kevin! We'll take you to the hospital!" I told him.
Kevin smiled weakly and muttered, "I'm fine. It's not like I'd die from a small injury like this. I can take it." With much difficulty, he pushed himself up from the ground.
"Evelyn, we were lucky this time," he said. "But you still need to keep an eye out for Carlos, that psychopath. He won't give up that easily." I nodded. I had mixed feelings about this. After what happened tonight, I finally knew what kind of person Carlos was.

The cops arrived and interrogated us about what happened. Then, they recorded the case in great detail. Upon seeing the state Kevin was in, frowns creased their foreheads.
"Things aren't that simple with this Carlos since he had the guts to assault you three here in the streets," said one of the cops. "We'll look into this case thoroughly." I nodded, content with how the cops were handling the matter. This incident was no small matter, so the authorities would take note of it.
After the cops left, Lianne and I took Kevin to the hospital. Fortunately, he wasn't gravely injured, and the doctor only needed to tend to his injuries for a while.
As I sat beside Kevin's bed in the ward, I started to feel sorry for him. Kevin wouldn't have had to go through all this if I hadn't provoked Carlos.
He had my back and risked his life to protect me, but I didn't know how to repay him.
He seemed to know that I was blaming myself for what happened, though. He patted my hand and said, "Evelyn, stop overthinking it. You're my friend. Of course, I'll have your back!" He added, "Carlos is a scumbag who deserves a good beating anyway. feel good punching him! Besides, I was doing my job as a righteous and responsible citizen by beating him upt The way he jokingly comfortederased all my negative emotions, and I ended up laughing. He was right. Life wasn't always smooth sailing.
The next day, I got a call from the guest professor.
"Evelyn, I heard that you were attacked by sthugs last night," he said, concerned. "Are you okay?" I then briefed him on the incident last night. The professor fell silent for a while after hearing my explanation.
"I see. So it was Carlos. I knew he was a bad egg," said the professor. "Don't worry. I'll bring this up to the board. The school won't allow something like this to happen again." I thanked him profusely after that. The weight on my heart finally lifted as I hung up. With the professor backingup, it wouldn't be easy for Carlos to strike again.
