Anna's POV:

July 6:

It is the last day of my current school. Tomorrow is the beginning of my new school.

As I was walking home from school, I passed by a nearby café then from a quick glance, I notice some high school boys approaches me. They're older than me.

"Hey, you!" One of the boys shouted, rudely

"Wanna come drink with us?" He continued

"No thank you, I'm underaged" I replied, not looking at one of them

"Come on, you're in high school, right? We can hang out" the other one said

"I refused" I said

Then suddenly, one of them placed their arm on my shoulder (geez they're heavy) and the other one forcefully grabbed my wrist

"Come with us! You're darn cute, you know. Maybe we could go to the hotel afterwards after we drink. Is that alright? Let's go!" said the. one that grabbed my wrist

"I said no!" I shouted as I stepped on his foot causing him to let go of my hand

"Ow!" He jumped "you bitch! I'll slap you!"

Oh no! He's going to hurt me Somebody please, help me!

The people passing by did not attempt to stop them, they just watched like some sort of we're doing a play.

I couldn't move because of the two boys grabbing my arms tightly in place.

I shut my eyes when he's about to slap me in the face, then suddenly

"Huh?!" The boy reacted, as he noticed that someone grabbed his wrist to make it stop.

I opened one of my eyes and I see a handsome boy, (probably same age as mine) grabbing the bully's arm, not looking at him

All of them looked at him, waiting for him to say something. Then the handsome boy lets go of the bully's arm and looked at him

"What a bunch of losers" he sighed

The bullies got really pissed off
They let go of me and just looked at the boy, wearing an army green jacket

"What do you want? Mind your own business!" They shouted

"The girl doesn't want to go with you so just leave her alone" he said then continued "Losers..." he rolled his eyes

The bully got really pissed off and tried to punch him but damn, the handsome boy did not get hit, he's darn fast

"Look if you don't leave this girl alone, I'm gonna punch you. Shitheads..." He calmly said

But the bully did not listened and instead, he tried to punch him again
The handsome boy punch him right in the face, when the other tried to punch him

"Run!" He shouted at me

"Huh?" I said, looking like an idiot

"Don't just 'huh' me! Run!" He shouted as he punched the other boys who approached him

I was about to run, but he grabbed my arm and starts running faraway from those bullies. We stopped at the park from a few blocks away.

We hurriedly hid from the bushes and watched the other guys passes by the park. He embraced me and covers my mouth so that I would not make a sound. Shit, he smells so good.

Few seconds later, he peeked out to see if the guys are still there

Few seconds later, he peeked out to see if the guys are still there. Then he went out gesturing to me that the coast is clear. We came out of the bushes. Our faces were covered with sweat. I noticed a kid looked at us and runs away like he saw something that was not supposed to see. Why did he ran away?

"Looks like we've lost them" he sighted as he catches his breath

"I thought so too" I said as I placed my hands on my knees

Behind me was a bench. So I sat down, fixed my hair away from my face and wipe my sweat using the back of my hand. The moment I looked at him, his expression was shocked

"What's the matter?" I asked

"Wet paint"

"What do you mean?"

"Look at the sign beside you" he said as he pointed the sign

Oh fuck! It says 'Wet Paint'. I hurriedly stand up and looked at my skirt. Geez! There's brown paint all-over my skirt

"Oh no!" I reacted

He laughed a little because of how dumb I was. Well, ok it is really embarrassing.

"I guess I have to go home with wet paint on my butt. Gosh, this is really embarassing" I said

He just laughed so hard right after I said that but then he continued

"Well, yeah it is really embarassing" he smiled

He look so cute when he smiles but it made me really embarrassed because of the wet paint. I'll look so stupid if I continue to walk home looking like this

"But you can't go home with that wet paint on your skirt. Here" he continued

He took off his army green jacket and wraps it around my waist (gosh, he's so close)

"Is it ok?" I asked

"Yeah, it looks fine. You'll never see the paint from the back" he replied

"No, I mean is it ok to use your jacket?"

"It's no big deal. Besides, I would not allow you to go home covered in paint" he said then smiled as he scratched his head

He's so cute when he smiles. He's also very kind and what a gentleman! Letting me use his jacket, even if we don't know each other yet. He also saved me from those bullies.

But I have to return his jacket after I changed clothes, I don't want to keep someone's jacket, it also looks expensive. So I look for my phone in my bag

"Wait, let me get my phone so that I can call you and return your jacket" I said

After I got mg phone from my bag, I look around and he was already gone. Oh no! I didn't get his name!

I never saw him after that day, even on my way home.
