Zach Casualrapeford: Hey Brock, you seen Barron around?
Brock Chesterwood: Yeah bro, it turns out Ashley reported him to the principal about him raping Stacey. He said he was going to have a word with her and her boyfriend, but he looked like he was gonna get into a Portuguese knife fight instead.
Zach Casualrapeford: I hope he sorts that mess out before his parents find out.
