One of them—pale, medium-scrawny, with badly formed dreadlocks—called something to two girls down below in the quad.brbrJoe hardly had a moment to take this in. A fast-flowing river of students appeared behind him and swept towards him. When the first body collided with him, his bag took the brunt, and he barely staggered.
