"Why should I leave? You have gotten prettier, Emma." Raymond scoffed while scanning her body. Before he could approach her any farther, a murderous aura suppressed him.
"That girl is with me."
----------
Raymond's eyes began shifting rapidly and sweats were dripping down his face, rigidly commented, "Ohh, you were with someone already. I should be going then." Without looking at Noah he withdrew, leaving her and Noah in an awkward situation.
"You're back, where did you go?" trying to change the mood. He glared at her after the incident with Raymond. She became on guard as he casually walked towards her silently.
Slowly tensing up after he came closer with the deadly aura, "What? What??"
When he was an inch away from her, she clenched her eyes and blocked her chest with her arms. Suddenly, she felt something warm placed on top of her lap, instantly took a glance at her lap, and with excitement claimed, " This is for me?" He nodded while packing their things up, "Let's stop here for today."
---------
She quickly went to get her bike and they met up again.
Digging in her meal, she glanced over at Noah, who was fixed on his unopen lunchbox, "Want me to open it for you?" Out of nowhere, he snapped, " YOU! Who was that guy with you? Have you ever heard of the word danger?" Weirdly, she didn't feel threatened or anything from him anymore, instead, she feels comfortable with him. She went over to him and opened his box, "I'm not like the other girls you see. If you haven't come back, I would have kicked him in the balls already."
Astounded by her response, he studied her as she went back eating, unknowingly his eyes skimmed down to her neck. Irritated again after remembering that guy's face, he went, and untied her hair, grumbled, "You should keep your hair down." Flustered by the unexpected touch, her eyes widened and gave him a timid nod unconsciously.
Once they finished their meal, Emma's mom suddenly called, telling her to buy something from the supermarket on the way home. After hanging up, Emma told Noah to go home first since she had to buy something for her mom. But he insisted on going with her considering it was getting late.
-----------
As Noah waited outside the market, two grown men with tattoos approached in front of him, "Well, if it isn't Noah?", one grinned.
"Do I know you?", asking as he glared up at them. "Should we settle our business here, brother?", one asked. "We shall. No harsh feelings kid, we need to eat too." grinning at Noah prepared to attack.
By the time Emma came out, she saw Noah got hit under the jaw, as he stepped back, he made eye contact with Emma.
Under his breath, he ordered her to leave. But Emma shrugged her shoulder up and kicked the tattoo guy at the back making him stumble forward. As he stood up, he exclaimed, "You, B*tch!" and spun towards her, getting ready to punch. Noah tries to go aid Emma before the tattoo guy does, but the other guy distracts him with an attack, "I'll be your opponent". Noah scowls and attempts to eliminate him fast to assist Emma.
Emma was able to dodge most of the attack he gives, "Is that all you got? Now it's my turn." She stepped back, clutching her hands and did a spin side kick hitting his chest, sending him to the ground again. He stood there for a second to catch his breath before diving back at her, eyes narrowed in determination. Emma blocks his fists and tries to counter-attack, but he pulls back, taking out a folding knife.
"Had it with you!", as he launched straight at her, aiming her hip. "WAA", Emma gripped onto the area where he stabbed and a flood of red fluid started to drip out. She turned to Noah who came rushing towards her side.
"EMMMA!!"
