Feeling that he should have anticipated the first encounter with Erick to be tough, Zach was silently screaming on the inside. Erick's stature along with his instant hostility frightened him more than any other bully had here. Once he regained his inner composure, he immediately realized that he would have to make his first sentences appeal to Erick's ego in order to gain something close to acceptance. Trying to explain the entire situation would likely result in him further degrading Zach, but attempting to take control of the situation itself was far more dangerous.

Taking a less panicked stance he began, "You don't need to prove anything to me, with what I've heard was enough. Now, from what I hear, you despise Preppies and scumbags like their kind more than anyone else here. I think you want people to like them to stay in their lanes, but they act like they can boss whoever they want around." Zach stood a little closer, "Well, Gregory and I were thinking about breaking into the Harrington House tonight, but we couldn't pull it off ourselves. With that in mind, we thought you would be interested in joining in something like that."

By the end of his statement, Zach's confidence had slightly faded once he started to fear he had said anything off, but that was just the immediate second thoughts.
