When I Was A Wallflower

shrank back feeling a little helpless.Toby smiled. Then, as if he was trying to prove something, he smashed his fist into Leo’s face right in front of Amelie. Leo’s expression hardened as he repaid in kind. Amelie was speechless.While she was still in shock, Leo backed Toby all the way into the corner. Toby was at s clear disadvantage and was rapidly becoming Leo’s punching bag.Amelie thought about leaving them be, but when she saw what was happening, she couldn’t ignore it.
