In the Middle

So, my boyfriend, who I am very much into, hangs with a bad crowd.

Me? I'm a good kid in all AP classes. I've never had to deal with this kind of drama before...

When I got out of my first hour, this dirty girl whom I despise screamed at me, "Your boyfriend is dead! He's going to DIE!"

This concerned me, and when I went to get him off of the bus to take him home, he told me that he didn't feel safe walking to the parking lot. I called him when he got home.

So apparently, my boyfriend had an altercation with her this morning. She lost her student ID, and he was going to give her a dollar so she could purchase a temporary. In return, she would give him some candy.

My boyfriend was already pissed for a number of reasons, and when he gave her the dollar, she snatched it away and kept her candy. As childish as it seems, he grabbed her arm and told her that he wants either the dollar or the candy.

Now, from what he told me, he blacked out, and everyone told him that he tried to strangle her. All day, kids have been threatening to jump him. After he got home, the resource officer at our school told him that he should stay home tomorrow.

Now I have a new respect for him, in the fact that I've wanted to strangle this girl since I've known her, but in all honesty, I'm worried. The girl sounded like she means business, and she might take her problems out on me.

tl;dr: My boyfriend pissed some dirty kids off, and they want to jump him.

What should I do?
 
kill that bitch, end of story.

Honestly, best option here is to talk to this girl and whoever else may want to harm your manfriend. Try to convince her (or whoever else) to let the whole thing go. Even if you can't convince her to change her mind, you'll be able to get some closure on the whole situation.
 
I would think that would be a rather bad idea, and possibly transmute the hostility onto Metatron. His intervention will probably be seen as hollow, or a threat of some kind, while tempers are flared.

In your position, I would ensure that all authoritative parties who know your bf (teachers/officers/security guards/administration/parents/etc.) know the correct story, and possibly get other (preferably neutral) witnesses to corroborate if you can muster them.

Your bf needs to lay low for a while and avoid being alone around them until it seems people have cooled down enough to talk things out.
 
They already do, he's handled this quite well. Like I said, the resource officer told him to skip school tomorrow (and I convinced him to listen).

I have no idea whether or not the hostility has already been transmuted to me. She seemed mad at me... and if he's not in school tomorrow I could have some problems with some dirty kids... :down:
 
I'm pretty sure a dollar is the lowest amount of money I've heard anyone try to harm someone else for, be it intentionally or out of reaction as in this case... you forgot to mention if he actually got it back. Might seem as an uninteresting detail considering the vast circumstances, however that's what started it all.

And really, I don't quite get what you're worried about... it wasn't you, so there's no reason for anyone to approach you unless it's out of clarification reasons. Those clarification attempts may be angry or loud, however should in theory be still clarification attempts only.
If someone really tries anything beyond that, you gotta figure it out from there. Dunno what kind of untimate solution you expect to find here, but yeah... anything beyond clarification approaches will be irrational, especially if it's against you (who had nothing to do with it), so finding a solution beforehand should be kinda tough :p

That aside, I kinda wonder why you constantly use 'dirty' as the adjective of choice... doesn't seem to be the fitting one there really?
