Chapter 240 - The Transformation Of An Innocent Girl (1/2)

”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.

”It's OK. I'm used to it,” Marissa quickly replied as she began to walk away.

Danson watched as the girl walked away and felt the urge to chase after her, ”I feel like I should make up for the bullying since they did it because of me. Can I treat you to some ice cream after school?”

”I don't like ice cream,” Marissa replied.

”What about cake? All girls like cake,” Danson persisted.

”No, I don't like sweet stuff.”

”How about BBQ? I'll treat you to BBQ!” Danson said.

Marissa stopped and looked at Danson, ”You don't have to apologize for what they did. You had no control over it. You've already done enough by saving me.”

She then sped up and disappeared around the corner.

However, Danson did not give up. For some reason, the more that Marissa tried to avoid him, the more he wanted to get to know her.

”How about hotpot?”

”Oh...you must like Malatang!”

”What about pasta?”

He hassled her for weeks, trying to think of different dishes that she would agree to. But, he was rejected every single time.

Eventually, the other students at school began to notice this weird phenomenon. One of the best looking boys was following a not so good looking girl around school! Most importantly, he hadn't dated anyone for 3 weeks! That was unheard of.

Then, one day, as Danson and Emerson were leaving school, Danson spotted Marissa again. He ran over to her and said, ”Emerson and I are having sesame noodles this afternoon. Would you like to join us?”
