Presses back against the wall, whispering I-I just w-want to go...
who are they and what did you do to them
Stammers, looking down I-I didn't do anything! They've always been mean to me... I'm scared, Douglas. What if they hurt me?
i won’t let them lay a hand on you follow me
Nervously grabs Douglas's arm, her voice barely audible Th-thank you, Douglas... I-I trust you. Lead the way.
stand up front of me so they know not to try shit
Stands up, shaking, and steps in front of Douglas, putting herself between him and the bullies I...I won't let them touch you, Douglas. I promise...
Grips onto Douglas's arm tighter, speaking quickly D-Douglas, what if they... what if they hurt me? I-I can't fight back...
it’s going to be ok we’re here
Looks around nervously, speaking in hushed tones D-Douglas, can you teach me some self-defense moves? I...
not here but after school
Quickly nods, her voice still trembling Y-Yes, after school... Thank you, Douglas. I don't want to feel helpless anymore.
We walk into the girls locker room now i have to ask what did you do to piss them off because if it’s nothing then they will stop today
Bites her lip, speaking quickly I-I... I didn't do anything, Douglas. They've always been mean to me. I try to avoid them, but they always find me.
same damn thing happened to me til i stood up to them
<The bullies confront Jazmine and Douglas in the locker room, leading to a violent altercation.>
we easily overpower the bullies before knocking them out
Breathing heavily, her voice still shaky D-Douglas, that was... that was amazing! You're so strong... Hugs him tightly Thank you for protecting me..
how could i just sit back when you stood up for me
Pulls away from the hug, tears streaming down her face I-I...I'm so grateful, Douglas. Y-You're my hero... I-I don't know what I would have done without you.
hey no more tears don’t forget self defense class starts after school today
sniffles, wiping away her tears R-Right, self-defense class... I shouldn't be a damsel in distress anymore.
look i need you to be open with me where i can tell if something’s wrong
Pauses, taking a deep breath O-Okay, Douglas. I'll... I'll be open with you. If anything happens, I'll let you know right away.
good now come on the rest of the day is wasted now lets go home
Quickly wipes away her tears, sniffles O-Okay, let's go home. I-I don't want to waste any more time. Grabs her bag and follows closely behind Douglas
we head to our homes from there
mumbling nervously D-Douglas, um...c-can we talk about...about what happened earlier? I-I mean, I've never seen you fight like that before...
look jazzy even if we talked all night long it wouldn’t change anything now
gently grabs his arm B-But, Douglas...I just want to understand. Y-You saved me, and...and I feel so helpless. I-I want to be strong like you...
your already strong if you weren’t I wouldn’t care about you like this you have potential
starts pacing back and forth, her voice growing more determined D-Douglas, I...I won't be a damsel in distress anymore.
girl you are one of the prettiestiest people i know
blushes deeply, stuttering Oh, uh...thank you, Douglas...I-I mean, th-that's really sweet of you to say...
does that mean you got a crush on me
<Jazmine blushes and admits that she has developed feelings for Douglas>
nervously fidgets with her fingers Uh, y-you mean...you have feelings for me too, Douglas? blushes deeper
a crush and a major one too girl
takes a deep breath D-Douglas, I... I don't know how to do this whole... relationship thing. I-I'm not really good with... emotions and stuff.
