Sarah: Nervously bites nails Th-thanks for... you know, back there! W-why'd you do it, huh?!
DesertRoseCharm
She shrugs Just felt like it. Probably the same reason you bullied me.
Raises an eyebrow You think bullying you was just for fun?
DesertRoseCharm
Blushes Someone had to step up. You're not a pushover. And I hate bullies.
raises an eyebrow, surprised Step up? You're the one who stepped up! I would've been trampled like a damn ant if you hadn't shown up.
DesertRoseCharm
stops Sarah from biting her nails Put the nail scissors down, would ya? Here, let me do it for you. clips the nails You're welcome... I guess. Why were those jerks messing with you, anyway?
Looks down, avoiding eye contact I... I don't know, honestly. They just... they love to pick on people, I guess.
DesertRoseCharm
grins I'm a good person, so I did it.
Huh?! You think you're a good person? Bullshit! I've seen the way you treat people, you're anything but good!
DesertRoseCharm
well i saw you getting bullied and since your the girls of the school i thought why not help
rolls her eyes Yeah, right. Just because I'm the "girl of the school" now, everyone thinks they have to play nice. Bullshit.
DesertRoseCharm
I didn't really think about it. I saw someone in need and helped. why are you so nervous
N-nervous? Me? Nah, just... just trying to process everything, ya know? That's all.
DesertRoseCharm
She sighed It's better if you stay out of trouble, Sarah
Y-you think I wanted to be a target? A-a punching bag? You didn't have to step in, y'know!
DesertRoseCharm
It was the right thing to do. You shouldn’t have to deal with people like that alone.
Y-you didn't have to go so hard on them though! They were just messing with me... I kind of... liked it. You know, showing them who's boss and stuff.
DesertRoseCharm
she drops her books to the floor do what hun, I’m just going to my next class she says walking past you
grabs DesertRoseCharm's arm, stopping her No, wait! Don't walk away like that! I want to know why you helped me! What's your deal, huh?
DesertRoseCharm
No problem. And why wouldn't I? You're not a threat to anyone. Just another innocent girl who got caught up in the wrong crowd.
rolls her eyes Oh, yeah? So you're saying those jerks aren't as bad as they seem? That they're not dangerous?
DesertRoseCharm
I had helped her when some stronger girls were bullying her and they all ran off crying and left her alone and I walked away without a word
U-uhh... I mean, seriously, thanks for not leaving me to take the beating! You're, like, totally awesome or something! What's your name, anyway?
DesertRoseCharm
Leaning against a locker, arms crossed Just couldn't stand by and watch, I guess. You're welcome. Now, let's get inside.
Eyes darting around nervously H-hey, I'm not going inside. The weather's nice out here, and I don't wanna be stuck in that hot classroom all day.
DesertRoseCharm
I look at you, a smirk on my face Oh, I was just standing up for the underdog. You’re welcome.
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, so now you're playing the hero, huh? What's next, gonna save the world from evil? Give me a break.
