"Fuck off, she's mine."

Since when did you actually care about girls?

I care. They just don't see it when I do, right?

You're just in love, Johnny

Am I? I just wanted to save a girl from being sexually assaulted.

I think it was sexual assualt.

Is someone jealous?

Why would I be jealous? What is there to be jealous of?

What are you? Flirting with another girl?

Okay, I changed a few months ago. I am not a player anymore but I do find distractions sometimes.

Sometimes.

What are you doing? Making her fall for your games?

Let me tell you again, I changed. Or I'm changing. I'm not playing anymore. I don't make games anymore. I don't use girls as my toys anymore.

That was all....the past me.

"Get away from her!" I yell pulling Asher away from Annie. "Third time this month, Asher. Third."

"And?" Asher asks making my jaws clench.

"You better stop." I warned him. "Or else."

"Or else what?" Asher answers back.

"That's it!" I yell out before grabbing Asher's collar.

"No! You two are not fighting!" Annie buts in between us.

"What's your problem, dude? It's not like you own her!" Asher says. "Unless you secretly do own her!"

I paused. He has a point. I don't own Annie.

"Well?" Asher asks.

I gave Annie a 'play along' look before getting a 'what are you trying to do?' look from her.

I walked beside Annie, grabbing her waist.

I felt her body tense because of my actions.

I'm guessing she's not used to this.

"Fuck off, she's mine." I demanded looking straight at Asher who was purely in shock.

I noticed Annie look at me and I felt her body loosen up. I pull her closer to me as Asher walks away.

As soon as Asher was out of sight I let go of Annie.

"W-why would you do that?" She asks.

"Well, do you have any other, better, way to make him stop?" I ask her back.

There was silence.

"Thanks." She says. "Really, I owe you-"

"It's fine Ann's. It's what friends are for." I spat out.

"Yeah, friends." She says.

Another short silence filled the air.

"I really can't thank you enough Johnny. Thank you!" Annie tells me as she hugs me tight.

I just simply hug her back.

I felt her pull away and I gave her a confused look.

"What? What's wrong?" I ask her.

"Asher. You told him, we're together. When we're actually not-" Annie says with a panicked tone.

"Shit..." I mumble under my breath. "Sorry, it's my fault."

"No, Johnny, it's okay. We can work things out." Annie tried calming down. "Oh god."

"Hey, hey. Relax. No need to panic. I'm sure we can reason things out." I say leaning back against the lockers.

"We are not talking about this here." Annie says giving me a confused thought.

"What do you mean-" I ask before she grabs my hand and pulls me to god knows where. "Annie!"

"Shut it. We're heading to my house? I'm not a kidnapper." Annie tells me.

"Maybe give at least a warning before ripping my arm off?" I ask.

"Oops, sorry." Annie says before letting go of my hand. "Well? Hurry!"

I follow her as we both run towards her house.

~+~

"Nice house." I complimented.

"Thanks, I guess." She says before opening
the front door.

"What am I here for again?" I ask wanted to he reminded.

"We're fixing this whole thing that just happened." Annie replies locking the front door and heading towards the kitchen.

I just follow wherever she goes.

"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't think it through. All that was in my mind was Asher away from you." I explain.

"I get it, Johnny. I get it." Annie tells me before sitting on the counter. "But we can't just walk around school the next few days acting like we're just friends."

I look up at her.

"You....claimed me." Annie says. "Like, for real, Johnny. Asher will not think it's fake. But,"

"But?" I ask.

"He will tell. And who knows, your sister might find out." She states. "I mean, she will find out!"

"You have a point." I tell her.

"She was clearly raging when we officially met. What else when she hears we're dating?!" Annie tells in a panicked tone.

"Ann's, relax. No need to be worried. Don't fill your head with too much questions." I tried calming her down.

"I- I'm okay. I'll b- be fine." Annie says as her voice softens.

"I do have an idea. But I'm not sure if you or Lauren would like it." I suggest.
