My Knight and Shining Rock Star [Completed]

Chapter 2

~Author's POV~

Jared sat beside Mina, concern etched on his face. "Are you okay, Gianne?" he asked the still-trembling girl. "Ye-yes, Red. Thank you for saving me," she replied. "Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked, his worry palpable. "No, but what's with those 'Amoebas'?" Mina questioned.

Red couldn't contain his laughter at her confusion. "No wonder they almost splashed you with that juice," he said, still chuckling. "Why are you laughing anyway?" Mina questioned, genuinely puzzled. "It's Amigas, Gianne, not Amoebas," he corrected with a grin. "Oh, but Amoebas suit them more," Mina retorted with a mischievous grin. "Hahaha! Okay, are you done eating? Let's get to class now."

**----------Time Skip----------**

The last subject for the day arrived, and Jared and Mina got to know each other better. They talked about various things, becoming comfortable in each other's company. As the day came to an end, it was time for them to head home.

Mina headed out first to visit her locker, unknowingly putting herself in a vulnerable position. Three pairs of eyes fixated on her. After arranging her books, she walked toward the exit but was abruptly pulled into an empty room. "Hey! What the actual—wait, you again? Are you following me? Are you my stalkers now?" Mina asked, visibly annoyed.

"Oh, this girl is a fighter. For a nerd, you are quite feisty," Krista remarked. "Again? This again?" Mina said with venom in her voice. "You're not afraid, are you? You'll be when we're done," Lina sneered. "How did you know Jared anyway, huh?" Jane questioned. "None of your business," Mina spat.

"I told you to stay away from her!!!" Jared's thunderous yell echoed through the room. "Jared, we, uhmm..." The Amigas released Mina, and Jared swiftly took her hand, pulling her behind him.

*Why'd you always help her? What is she to you?* Lina inquired. *What do I do now? Okay, I got an idea. I hope this works.*

Jared leaned in and whispered something to Mina. "If this doesn't work, I'm sorry. I have to do it. So please cooperate with me, alright?" he murmured. Then he leaned in, their faces inches apart, lips almost touching when "Okay, enough!" Jane interrupted. "Girls, let's go." The Amigas retreated, leaving an awkward silence between Jared and Mina.

Then Mina broke the silence. "Red, thanks for saving me, but... What's with that girlfriend thing? When and how did THAT happen?" she asked, emphasizing the 'that' with a mix of emotions. Jared was about to answer when his phone rang. "I'm sorry, I have to go. I'll answer you tomorrow, okay? Bye, Gianne!" he hurriedly said, running outside and leaving Mina dumbfounded.
