I had only just met this guy today and he's already trying to "protect" me from Randy. Does he have a death wish?  We kept running until we were at least five blocks away from the school, I knew what was going to happen if Randy catches up to him and I; I really didn't feel like having to watch Jeff be murdered too.  I shook my head, choking down the thought that that could very well happen. No. The only thing that matters right now is to get enough distance between Randy, Jeff, and me.  When I thought we were a great enough distance between us; I stopped Jeff and turned him to face me, letting a few questions fly out of my mouth like a rapid-fire gun. "Look, you've just met a few hours ago and I've just let you sign your death certificate, and I don't feel like seeing another friend die. Randy is going to kill you for that, not to mention for even talking to me. Why did you have to protect me?" He blankly stared at me, as I did the same. I've never had such difficulty trying to make my point known; it's like there's something about him that unnerves me, but what? "I'm sorry but he's a bit of an ass hat. No one should treat a girl like that, and as far as me just having met you today, I have a protective instinct. If anything, just think to yourself, I'm a nice girl and Jeff just wants to help me with that creep." I just blankly stared at him and thought to myself quietly, Jeffry woods, my protector, and a new friend. "Okay, oh great protector Jeff, I'll see you tomorrow," I said slipping him my number before heading home, smiling and chuckling to myself at this weirdo.
