Sit next to Valerie. (JP) (U)

Sitting next to Valerie you see her looking at you with concern. "Everything alright Ash?" She says creasing your cheeks. This makes you blush a bit due to how close she is. But you quickly pull your head away.

"I'm more concerned about Jeff. I didn't know you had it in you." You say looking at Jeff.

Jeff on the other hand is staring down at his fist. "I didn't know either. I guess it must have been my gamer rage." He says a bit impressed with himself.

You then see Donna give him a nuggie. "Yeah right more like your jerking off strength," Donna says teasing him. Chris laughs at this and joins in. "No wonder why his right arm is bigger than his left!" He howls out.

"Come on guys! Let's just appreciate that he decked Jason's face." Valerie says defending Jeff.

You can't help to smile seeing this interaction within your friend group. Some normalcy for once. "Thank you, guys... For saving me." You out loud appreciate your friends.

"Come on now don't get mushy on us Ash," Donna says rolling her eyes.

Then you feel someone holding your hand next to you, it was Valerie. "We will always stand up for you. I don't know about the others but I care about you." She says looking into your eyes.

This made your heart flutter a bit, as you can't help but smile even more.

"Blegh you two need a room," Chris says faking a barf.

Then you hear the lunch bell ring, you say goodbye to your friends and prepare to head into class with Valerie.
