One of the staff members asked Eli and Natalie to sit opposite each other. “Sit down. Both of you will explain what happened.”
Eli sat down without arguing. Natalie also sat, but she still looked upset. She occasionally rubbed her cheek while taking deep breaths.
Another staff member took several forms from the desk.
“A fight occurred in the cafeteria, witnessed by many students, and involved physical contact. Before we decide on the next course of action, we need to hear an explanation from each of you.”
Eli looked at the desk. Only now, as her emotions began to subside, did she realize that her hand was stinging badly.
She lowered her head and looked at it more closely. There were several red scratches on the back of her hand. One of them was even long enough to make the surrounding skin feel hot.
Eli frowned. She had not noticed it at all while she had still been consumed by anger.
On the other side, Natalie suddenly touched her cheek again.
“Ouch...”
The staff member sitting across from them immediately noticed.
“Are you injured?”
Natalie slowly lowered her hand.
There was a long scratch on her cheek stretching from near her cheekbone toward the side of her face. The scratch was quite visible, making Natalie’s face, which had previously only been red from crying, now look genuinely injured.
Natalie stared at her reflection on her phone screen. Her eyes widened.
“When did this happen?”
No one answered.
Eli also stared at the injury on Natalie’s face for a few seconds.
Only now did Eli realize that their fight had actually been much rougher than she had imagined. While caught up in her emotions, she had only thought about how to free herself from Natalie and fight back against every attack that came her way. She had not had time to think about the consequences. But now, with the situation completely calm, the pain in her hand made her realize that they had not merely fought. They had actually hurt each other.
Natalie then looked at her own hand before looking back at Eli.
