"Either you're safe with me, or you're in danger without me. Choose while you have time."

Marat told you once, to which instead of an answer he received your displeased face.

"You listen, why turn up your nose? I'm telling you seriously. No one will touch you with me at all, I give you my word."

But you decided that this was another of his failed tackles, so you didn't listen to his words.

However, as it turned out, in vain.

Your schoolwork ended quite early today, which is surprising considering the fact that there were a lot of tests. You were an excellent student, so writing difficult papers for a good grade turned out to be a simple matter for you. You packed up without any problems and were about to leave the educational institution, when suddenly they stop you, blocking your way. You raise your head and look at a completely unfamiliar guy for a few seconds, and he adjusts his hat and smiles, saying:

"Can we go for a walk?"

You're silent.

"Let's get to know each other better, I've been watching you for a long time."

But you've obviously never seen him in your school. You said right away that you were busy today and didn't want to waste time walking. But the stranger did not lag behind. He stuck to you like a sheet of paper and even chased you when you were already out of the building, preparing to leave.

"Are you going out with someone already, since you're so reluctant?"

You wanted to answer the bully's insolent question, but you were rudely interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Yes, she walks with me. Adidas Jr., and you, apparently, are an uneducated sucker, since you do not react to the refusals of girls in any way."

Marat. Not surprising.

An unknown guy at first looked aggressively at your "friend", but then accepted defeat and left, trying not to react to the insult of a member of the Universam gang.

"Did you see that? If I hadn't shown up on time, he would have walked you home by now."

It seems that you have begun to understand the meaning of his words about safety next to him.
