    A short boy fell while carrying his food in the school cafeteria. When his food spilled, one of Katlo's friends kicked him and he fell face down in the soil. Wada defended the boy by slapping Katlo's friend hard on the face. An argument ensued between Wada, Katlo and his friend until another student said a teacher was coming, causing them to disperse. Wada then looked for the short boy, Will, but he was gone.
