"You!!!" Both the girls wanted to rebel but they received a meaningful glare from Alex too. He was if giving them a warning about not to face Anna's wrath otherwise no one is going to save them. He was on Anna's side, not theirs. Just talking to both of them doesn't change the fact that he will leave Anna's side!
"W-we are g-going." they both said but they didn't even move an inch from their place. Still, both girls were persistent and waited for Alex to defend them too but Alex never even said a word on their behalf.
"SCRAM!" this time, Anna shouted and they both were so scared that they actually ran out of the class instead of going to their desks.
"You scared them," Alex said from her behind. He was happy to see her defending him and fighting for him. He knew that with time, their relationship has progressed from 'being friends' and this was what he also wants.
