Emily turned to Jarod, the girl from before, and began to speak, trying to make it appear as though she was oblivious to what was happening closeby.

"Yes, something is up, and yes, I'm alright, though for how much longer I can't be sure." Emily's voice was tense, with good reason. "Don't make it obvious, just take a look at Junks. His hand. See that? Now take a guess at his financial situation, and consider that Victoria is wearing a presumably very valuable diamond ring. What do you think, then, that Junks is holding? We're not safe here, Victoria especially."

What could she do? Running seemed the safest option, but the idea hurt her pride. Equally, though, she could hardly take on someone with a knife alone. And warning the rest of the room would be almost impossible to do quietly. On the other hand... [i]that could work.[/i]

"Hold this," she said, passing Jarod her lunch.

Emily started humming a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJfFZqTlWrQ]P!nk[/url] song as she moved towards Victoria and Junks. Some jerk from the sports crowd was headed to a seat close to the pair. When she was just a few feet from all three, she sung under her breath "Na na na na, na na na, I'm gonna start a fight", then punched the jock square in the face. She wasn't an experienced fighter, but he'd been so taken by surprise that he stumbled and fell over, crashing into Junks and Victoria on the way down.

Then, the room exploded with action.
