"Let me go!" I heard an all too familiar voice. "Shut up!" But I heard a cry.

"I said shut up!" Summer.

I ran out of the library and began speed walking my way to where I heard the voices. "Just leave me please!"

That was Sarah! I began running faster and faster to where I heard the voices.

I swear to God if Summer laid a finger on Sarah.. The hell that I said would be unleashed, would be demonstrated. I kept running at a quick pace and itched closer to the outside. Once I reached the doors I pushed them open and moved my eyes swiftly into every direction. "Ahh!" I heard the same cry. I whipped my head into the direction of the drama and saw Kelly and her minion grabbing Sarah's arm

Does she not understand what I told her a week ago? I walked over closely making sure to keep my mouth shut.

I wouldn't wanna give her some time to escape but a male voice already spoilt my joy. "Kelly, Kelly let her go!" Why is that voice so familiar?

Why are voices today so familiar? One meter closer from the chaos Kelly hadn't noticed me since her back facing me.  Don't ever turn you back nena. [Babygirl] But Sarah did notice me. I shushed her silently with my index finger on my lip. Finally, gripping a satisfying handful of Kelly's bleach blonde hair. "Ow!"

I dragged her head back so she could hear me. "What did I tell you bitch? Huh? What did I tell you?" I gripped her hair even harder as her minion failed to defend her. Chelsey, Kelly's best friend/minion tried to tame me. I chuckled at her next words. "Leave Kelly alone."

"I will break you so don't even try." I then twisted Kelly's arm all the way to the back and she began crying at the pain. I haven't even started. While her arm was twisted back, I let go of my grip on her locks and my leg connected with the back of her knee and she fell. I took the opportunity to actually relieve some stress and connected my fist with her cheek. "Oh no you didn't." I heard bimbo number two.

She gripped my hair from the side. Ready for a cat fight because she obviously can't fight.  With the arm she had my hair in, I automatically swung my arm around hers, in the process her frail arm bending and now she had fallen on her knees because her elbow had been hurt. I took the opportunity to punch her too. I grabbed Kelly oh, I wasn't finished with her.

I gripped her hair slamming her back against the brick wall, she held her back in pain. She was now lazily sitting upright, I gave her three good punches when I felt strong arms carry me. Definitely a males arms.

My legs were no longer on the ground... gravity wasn't having it's way. Wait, no stupid. Someone's trying kill you! Then realization hit.

Oh..

Oh!

Once I realized my legs couldn't reach the ground, I made it even harder for the aggressor to carry me, so I tried kicking my legs as hard as possible to the groin area. Succeeding when I heard a groan and they let me go.

"What the hell?" I turned to see the one and only Alexander McCann. Oh..

Ohhh. "Why are you here? Were you helping Kelly and her minion? Cause if you did I will smash you. I don't care if you're a boy or not."

He folded his arms amused and said, "Yeah right."

"Excuse me? Are you underestimating me? Are you one of those guys who don't believe women can destroy a guy? Because if you are, I'm telling you.. I can fix up that cockiness," I most probably exaggerated. Maybe a teeny tiny bit. But nothing upsets me more than a man underestimating a woman. "Can you calm down? So I can actually explain?" I huff before signalling him to explain.

"You're one hard cookie," I heard him mumble. "Pardon?" I folded my arms. "Oh what? No, I was just thinking."

"Well you were surely thinking out loud." I let out my own mumble. "Did you hear what I said?"

"Was there something I was supposed to hear?" He blinked at me for moment before shaking his head no.

Foolish.

"About the explanation:" He remembered. "I heard crying from the inside and I immediately thought someone was in trouble. That's why I was here and you automatically assumed that I was helping Kelly out because I was present at the moment."

I gave him an almost unnoticeable nod and said, "It's not like my assumption could've been wrong."

"Excuse me?" He knitted his brows. "Did you hear me or are you that pretentious at being deaf?" I deadpan. "What's your previous statement about your "assumption could've been wrong" about?"

"However you take it, is what it means." I shrug. "Ser stop being so rude to people." I heard Sarah's voice in the middle of nowhere. I had completely forgotten she was there. "How was that even rude? People don't need everything sugarcoatted," Sarah looked at me like I grew 2 heads right then and there.

"Don- don't pay any attention to her. She isn't necessarily fond of people you could say," Seriously why is she so nice? Trust me, it's not even something I envy. Being "rude" you could say is in my nature. At the time I met Sarah and Levine I still saw the good in people. That's until I was bullied by none other than Kelly freaking Anderson.

She made my high school hell. That's a story for another time. And if she thinks she'll do the same in college, she's not even mistaken, she just literally proved to me she's even more dumber than Patrick on SpongBob.

"It's okay," Alexander smiled. "Why wouldn't it be anyways?" I restrained myself from rolling me eyes.

Alexander wasn't even mad at me and just whispered the words: "You're definitely something else."
