Me and Bojan where both 17 and we got closer the last year maybe a bit to close for friends? But it didn't felt weird for us.

We had a long day at school and when the last bell finally rang I grabbed al my stuff and walked out of class and outside I waited for Bojan. He walked up to me and we walked out of school together to the bus. When the bus arrived and we walked in Bijan saw his friends and they asked if he would sit with them, Bojan first looked at me and I gave him a small it's okay nod. He sat next to them while I walked a bit further to a empty spot. I putted in my earphones and I putted on my playlist and I looked outside. At the next stop a lot of people stepped in, shit I hated it when people sit next to me that I don't know. I was hoping no one was sitting next to me and I always just looked away and no one in the eyes because if I did that people saw it as an invite to sit next to me. But fuck someone was sitting next to me, I never looked next to me if someone was sitting next to me because my social anxiety could never. But I saw in the corner of my eyes that it was a man in his 30s. I didn't tought anything of it. But he just kept looking at me and I felt uncomfortable but he didn't speak to me so that was great. But after a while he began to talk to me he began with normal questions as "how are you? and the where are you going? Question like why did he want to know where I was going. I just told him that I came from school and that I wanted to go home. I didn't ask anything back so the silence in between was really awkward. After a while he began to ask more weird questions like do you have a boyfriend and do you like older man. I didn't answer that last question. I was looking for Bojan in the bus but the bus was full and people where standing so I couldn't see him shit. Then he began to dat weird things to me. " you're really pretty you know" he said "well thank you" I said a bit uncomfortable. "It's sad that you don't have a boyfriend I couldn't imagine that no boy likes you, I bet that they are in line for you" he said. And after that he putted his hand on my leg I didn't like it and I said that he needed to get his old hands of my leg. He didn't like the way I said that and he just putted his hand higher. Shit shit shit. I really needed bojan right now. " listen girl I don't like the way you're talking to me" he said angry. In the meantime a lot of people left the bus so I could see Bojan again but now I needed his attention so I tried to make eye contact with him but he didn't look at me. I began to panic and I was so close to crying but then I had eye contact with Bojan and I could see on his face that he wasn't happy he stormed of his seat and he walked up to me and the man and I saw his friends follow him but Bojan was fast. " WTF are YOU doing man" Bojan yelled at the man. " noting I was just talking to this beautiful lady" he said innocently. "Well it doesnt look like YOURE only talking to her because why the fuck is your hand on her thigh. Bojan grabbed his arm and got it of me. "Wow don't worry man you can go after me" the man said. Something in Bojan snapped and he punched him. And after that Bojan grabbed the man by his shirt and pulled him of the seat. "Listen man if you don't get of this bus right now things are not gonna look so good for you" Bojan said to the man. At this point the bus was stopped because one of Bojans friends informed the bus driver and he pulled over the bus and opened the doors and Bojan threw  him out. And he sat next to me " sorry" I said quietly. " it's not your fault okay that man had to keep his hands to his self" Bojan said to calm me down. But I felt guilty for not doing it on my own.

We got off the bus and Bojan walked me home well we were neighbors so he also needed to go that direction but he made sure that I was getting home safe and when we were almost at my backyard Bojan stopped me and told me once again that it want my fault and that I didn't need to feel guilty about it and if something like that happens an other time that I need to call him and he will be by my side in a matter of time. Bojan always wanted to protect me but when we grew older his protection over me grew more and more I thought it was cute and I gave him a kiss on the cheek and I walked in my garden. He stood there and looked flabbergasted and he blushed. That was really cute that I made Bojan blush.
