Officially Together: School Idol Project (Officially Together, #2) (ePub)

Lucas' main concern was for Rachel, Kurt's gang wouldn't have any hesitation harming her. 
    Kurt laughed derisively, he knew he had Lucas cornered and outnumbered. "Tell me Lucas, seems you like to go for the inexperienced ones." 
    Kurt's two friends laughed contemptuously. 
    Lucas didn't know who they were but he could tell they were of the same calibre as Kurt. One boy moved closer placing his face directly in front of Lucas'. He snarled as he reached around to try and grab Rachel but Lucas was too quick for him, knocking his arm away easily. For the first time Rachel became afraid as she realised what their intentions were. 
    The boy growled as he turned around. For some reason Rachel breathed a sigh of relief believing it was all over. It surprised her when he threw a punch so quickly that she didn't even have time to blink. Lucas seemed like he was expecting the hostile reaction and effortlessly blocked the missile. Rachel wasn't sure what happened next but Lucas swept his foot underneath his opponent, knocking him off balance so he fell to the ground dazed and bewildered at how easily he had been disposed off. 
    A hasty look at Kurt told Rachel that he was enjoying this, the wicked expression told her there was more to come. "Nice move Lucas. Let's see how you can handle two at the same time." Kurt and his other friend were more weary of Lucas, they split up making it more difficult. 
    Rachel sensed Lucas tense, she knew that there wasn't much he could do, he was vastly out numbered, not to mention he probably believed he had to protect her at all cost. Rachel did the only thing she knew she could, she screamed. 
    "PLEASE SOMEONE HELP."
