I'll be always there for you.

Let's leave, said one of Cassandra's minions. Tch! Fine, Let's go. But listen Alex, that girl is a bitch and you should stay away from her. She's just a slut who likes to attract the boys and she's bad news.

When I heard what she told Alex, I was kinda hurt thinking that what might he be thinking about me. I, at least didn't want him to listen to Cassandra's nonsense but I guess I can't keep it in anymore. "Cassandra, what are you....."And who the hell are you for me to listen to you", I was cut off as Alex suddenly spoke. Shocked, both Cassandra and I looked at Alex.

Huh?Wait!What are you saying? Cassandra asked him with a face full of shock. I'm asking who the hell are you to be saying that she is a bitch. I don't see to why you call her a bitch but to me, it looks like you're the real bitch who doesn't know her place and is bullying someone using my name at that too. He glared at her with a face full of disdain. Alex took a step forward as to hide me behind his body frame and frown at them.

Get out! he commanded them and his face showed his anger. I grabbed a corner of his sleeve indicating him to calm down. He looked at me while relaxing his brows and said, "It's fine, don't worry I'm here with you". Badump badump badump....my heart was beating really fast as he said that. As he finished telling me that, he turned around to face Cassandra and her minions and told them, "This will be my first and last warning to you all, if ever you again bother or bully Jessica again, then the consequences will not be good." Alex glared at them real hard as to warn them to not repeat the situation which they caused today. Cassandras was still full of shock and frowned at me a little then turned around and left with her friends.

My legs felt wobbly and I fell down as there were no strength left in them. I was in a moment of shock thinking that there would be a fight between those two. Alex turned around to check if I was fine only to find me on my knees. 'Are you alright?'. There a sign of worry in his eyes as he asked me that. 'I'm fine "Phew! I really thought for a moment there that you were going to fight them. I laughed as I told him that but the words he said next shocked me. 'I would have if they had gotten any further'. Why? I asked him anxiously. That's cause we're friends aren't we. I looked at him dumbfounded. What? aren't we. Oh! we are, I replied hurriedly. Then that's it, I don't usually make friends but you seemed like a nice person to me so I wanted to befriend you but it seemed like some people were bothering you cause' of me.

No no no.....it's fine, its just I was always bullied by them and today you saved me so thank you so much and I'm very happy to be your friend. Just then, Kyle came along. Hey, what you two doing here, man I was looking for you Alex all over school. Hey Jessica, How are you? I hope this hardhead didn't bother. Oh no, it's actually we became friends just now, and so I told him the whole story of what had happened in the previous hour. Wow! Seriously, he saved you...I can't believe it. But don't worry now we all are friends and we all help each other right!

Alex flicked on Kyles head as he told him to get off.

As we were returning back to our classroom, Alex stopped midway and turned around and spoke, I wasn't able to tell you this but I'll tell it to you now, no matter what happens in the future, I'll always be there for you. So you don't have to hide anything from me, trust me and believe me, I'll always help you out. He then turned around left for the classroom.

Badump badump badump....my heart pounded really hard then and I knew that my face was beet red from what Alex just had said. Oh man! Why did he have to say that now.
