"I-I'm not threatened by her!" Tanya replied as she backed away.
She didn't expect Danson to see her like this.
"I was simply scaring her so she would stop bothering you."
Danson smirked as he stretched out a hand to help Marissa up, "She hasn't bothered me at all...but you have! Don't let me see you ever again!"
Tanya looked at her friends nervously. There was nothing she could do. So, she waved her hand and they all quickly left.
After they were gone, Danson glanced at Marissa. "Are you alright?" he asked.
Marissa nodded her head as she looked at Danson. She recognized him. He was Emerson's best friend. She had been spying on Emerson since the first year of high school and this guy was always next to him so she naturally knew him well.
"Don't worry, they won't bother you again," Danson said.
Even though Marissa wasn't very good looking, there was an innocence to her that made him want to protect her.
