He...grabbed that arm and flipped the person over his hip. Rachel glared up at him from the ground."What the fuck are you doing?" she yelled.All the girls stopped playing to stare at them. Kelly's cheeks reddened."Sorry, it was automatic." What the fuck does that mean?" I just reacted when you touched me." You don't like to be touched?" I didn't. The kids put them down easily.
