"Confrontation Escalation"

Part 44

"Hey guys, you're scaring me, can you not be so mad please?" I asked, trying to reason with them, but my voice was shaking slightly. The boys' faces were inches from mine, their eyes blazing with anger and hurt. Deku's eyes were still wide with shock, Bakugo's face was red with rage, and Todoroki's gaze was piercing. But instead of backing down, they took a step closer, their movements almost menacing. My eyes widened in fear as I took in their aggressive postures. I could feel my heart racing in my chest as I tried to process what was happening. The boys' expressions didn't change, but suddenly they seemed to snap out of their trance-like state. Deku's eyes flickered to mine, and he took a step back, his face paling. Bakugo's gaze faltered, and he looked away, his shoulders sagging slightly. Todoroki's eyes narrowed, and he took a deep breath, his chest heaving with emotion. The girls, who had been watching the scene unfold with interest, suddenly looked concerned. "Uh, guys, maybe you should calm down," Mina said, her voice soft and soothing. But it was too late. I was already scared, and my body had reacted. My eyes had gone wide, and my face had paled. I could feel the fear radiating from my body, and the boys could see it. Without saying a word, I got up from my seat and backed away from the group. My eyes darted towards the door, and I took a step towards it. The boys looked like they wanted to say something, to apologize or explain, but I didn't want to hear it. I turned and quickly walked towards my room, not looking back. I could hear the boys calling out to me, but I ignored them. I just wanted to get away from the tension and the anger. As I shut the door behind me, I let out a shaky breath. My heart was still racing, and my mind was reeling. What had just happened? And how was I going to deal with the fallout? I leaned against the door, trying to calm myself down, but my mind was a jumble of emotions. Fear, anxiety, and confusion swirled together in a toxic mix. I took a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself down, but I couldn't shake the feeling that things had just gotten a lot more complicated.
