Of course Elliot was going to scramble up and try to go after him again. He didn't want to sit there and lose, and granted he didn't really completely know that Clint was Cassidy's older brother, and maybe getting in a fight and beating him up or whatever wasn't the best idea. But how cool would it be if it was just, oh, Cassidy got beat up by some freshman. Yeah, then Elliot would look cool ( well, just like a delinquent, but basically the same thing in his mind)

So of course he goes for him again, and of course Cassidy hits him hard. Elliot fell back between two rows of seats, hands clasped over his face. He'd whacked his head pretty hard against the seat and, regardless of the fact that he was for sure stuck between the seats, wasn't making a move to get back up and go after Cassidy at all. Naw, he was just whining and holding his face.

Maybe you shouldn't pick fights when you can go down in like a hit, Elliot.
