Eaden didn't move from his spot. Though he made a threat like that, he didn't expect the other boy to stop. Most would run and he'd have fun, torturing some poor sap for a semester. Which technically he would, and would probably have to, regardless. The tension turned thick though, both them far too much on a sharp edge. He glanced to the side, meeting the eyes of some guys from his group.

"You forget, I'm the one with friends here. People are power. Don't forget that." He'd barely blinked during the entire course of his speech, let alone move a finger. Though he didn't challenge the other boy any further, he didn't back down either. He had no intention of being the first to turn away; it would be a defeat. The kid still needed to pay for his humiliation. "You should have just gone home and cried while you had the chance. Jacob, Alex, show this kid what it means to challenge Eaden Carr." With a motion of his fingers, two tough looking guys separated themselves from the crowd, heading for Alecross. He wouldn't act unless he had all the upper hand. Though, this was actually a bit pitiable.
