"Duhh-don't even nuhh-need your hhhelp," Jake muttered, releasing his hold on Lawson as though he'd suddenly been hit with an electric shock. The boy avoided looking at anyone here, suddenly feeling very upset and wanting to shout and scream and whatever. Why? He didn't know... "Yuhh-you ssstay with yuhhh-your ffffavourite sssstudent," Jake added, feeling as though those words should be said with spite but not managing it. Without another word, Jake left the room pretty swiftly for someone feeling a bit dizzy and queasy.

Mind you, he probably wouldn't make it far.

Sniffle.
