Switched Romance

Chapter 4: Kicked Him Out

When summer break was over, Mina and Bridgette were back in school as seniors. While Mina was busy reading a chapter in a textbook next to her locker to prepare for a biology quiz in the afternoon and waiting on her best friend Bridgette, two guys came up to flirt with her inappropriately. Their inappropriate comments and advances disrupted her concentration, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Guy #1: Nice outfit, little girl. Looking a bit "tacky" for a school day, aren't you?

Guy #1: Are you trying to get some dude's attention or trying to steal someone's boyfriend?

Mina: No, absolutely not! Why would I do that? Get away from me!

Guy #2: Oh, that's not happening with us...I would also like to know what perfume you use?

Guy #2: You smell wonderful. Tell us 'cause I would like to give the same to my girl too.

While the guys continued to advance themselves on Mina, Bridgette immediately appeared after them to stop them. As she approached the two guys, her appearance alone intimidated them. She was wearing dark eyelashes, dark red lipstick, and a silver choker around her neck. Dressed in a seductive laced black blouse paired with ripped pale denim jeans and black heeled boots, Bridgette sent a clear message that she wasn't to be trifled with. The boots she wore made her appear much taller and graceful than how she usually is. As she confronted the guys, they attempted to feign innocence, hoping to evade any consequences for their inappropriate behavior. However, Bridgette wasn't easily fooled. With a piercing gaze and a demeanor that brooked no nonsense, she addressed them directly, calling out their inappropriate actions.

Bridgette: What the hell is going on here?!

Bridgette: Why are you harassing my friend? It's not your business to meddle with whatever she's doing!

Guy #1: Umm...no. We weren't. We were just telling her how lovely she looks today since we rarely see her dress like this.

Guy #2: Yeah, we were also wishing her good luck on her uhhh math exam.

Bridgette: Hmm, I highly doubt that.

Bridgette: I have something "lovely" to offer you too.

The guys, now caught in their own web of lies, squirmed uncomfortably under Bridgette's scrutiny. Bridgette, fueled by a determination to protect her friend Mina and unwilling to tolerate any inappropriate behavior, took a bold and decisive step. With a fierce resolve, she advanced toward the first guy, her heeled boots making a pronounced click with each step. Without uttering a word, Bridgette stomped on the guy's shoes. He winced in pain, both from the physical pressure on his shoes and the realization that he had crossed a line.

Guy #1: Oww!!! I didn't mean it...I really didn't!

Bridgette: Were you trying to imply that my dear friend looked like shit the other days but suddenly looked "hot" today in your eyes?

Bridgette: She pushed his forehead with her fingers. Take a look at your damn trashy self in the mirror!

Bridgette: And ugh, what's that smell? You smell like you haven't showered in weeks!

Bridgette: Who the f**k gave you the right to judge her when you clearly don't make the effort to look fresh yourself?!

Bridgette: If I were you, I'd get both your asses moving unless you want a feel from my fists.

With the departure of the two guys, Bridgette turned around to face Mina, her intense gaze softening as she approached her friend. The relief on Mina's face was evident, grateful for Bridgette's fierce and protective demeanor. Bridgette, now in a more comforting stance, opened her arms and enveloped Mina in a warm and reassuring hug.
