The two boys stood there like wild animals strained against their leashes, acting as if they hadn't heard the coach's angry voice at all.
They still wanted to lunge at each other and continue the fight, especially Jayden.
The mention of his parents by Ethan had struck a nerve so deep and painful that his vision was practically blurred with rage.
Seeing this continued defiance made Coach Miller even more furious than he already was.
He moved with a sudden, heavy speed, planting himself directly between the two boys who were still being pinned down by their teammates.
He looked from one bruised face to the other and bellowed with a finality that shook the room.
"I said enough!"
The sheer volume and command in his voice finally forced the two to register the coach's existence.
They finally shut their mouths, not saying another word to each other, though the air between them still crackled with hatred.
However, their sudden silence did nothing to calm the coach down.
