"Just answer the damn question!" Mrs. Avery yelled.
Jon looked down at his finger and saw the black ring, which was engraved with the word "Aggressive". When he looked back up at the teacher, he saw her eyes burning with anger.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" she asked Jon, getting up into his face. "Tell me the fucking answer!"
Okay, this just made things worse. He grabbed for the ring to pull it off, but before he could, the teacher hit him ... right in the face.
This caused an uproar in the class. Guys and girls alike were bewildered by the teacher's sudden anger fit, to say the least. But soon, it began to spread, just like it had earlier when Jon used the red ring (Slutty) and the indigo ring (Subservient). Only this time, it hurt a lot more.
Zach Jones slugged him in the face, apparently for no reason, but then shouted "Sarah's my bitch, not yours! You keep your fucking hands off of her!"
Then a fairly shy girl named Ellen Jackson grabbed Jon's arm and bit into it. Jon had to aggressively push her away, which caused her to flail backwards into a row of desks. And that caused even more people to grow angry.
And all the while, Jon tried desperately to remove the ring. At this point, he would have rather been embarrassed for answering the teacher's question wrong.
