Dominant as he is, Jack entered the crowd. Students stopped from clamoring and bowed their heads. Joan brought her head up to see who it was.
At his side Jack grabbed the collar of a guy and said, "Clean up this mess," and to the crowd he glared, "No one will hurt her." Joan couldn't hear anything, all she knew this guy was protecting her. Jack then tossed the guy by its collar to his friends who look powerful and brusque, as he is. Leaving the crowd, he pulled the blond girl with him.
"All of you! Go away!" Cleaning the mess, the guy shouted at the top of his lungs as Jack told him to do so.
As students started leaving, from afar a girl came near and picked up her hearing aid and placed it to her ear.
"I believe this is yours," she said. Good looking the girl was, almost of the students were.
"Yes, thank you," replied Joan.
"You have a gush, let's go the clinic."
"No, it's okay, it's just small and the flag ceremony will start in few minutes."
Holding her a hand, the girl just smiled.
After school, she thought of the people who helped her. The world was never that cruel.
While heading home, passing by an old fashioned house, she heard a woman clamoring.
"Go away! You morons!"
"Monster! Monster! Monster!" The group of children shouted in chorus.
"Voice like a monster!" one shouted then the other's just followed in chorus.
"Voice like a monster! Voice like a monster! Voice like a monster!"
At the corner side Joan watched, confirming that the kids were gone; popping at the door way was her best plan.
"Hi," she said.
"Go away, you moron!" The womans voice was horrible.
"No, it's okay."
