I looked over and saw Marcus barge past one of the bully’s and square up to Brad.
“Take your friends and leave, don’t ever touch Sam again or you’re going to more than one black man in your face” Marcus said growling to him
.
Marcus and Brad stared at each other for a few moments until Brad broke the silence.
“Come on guys, let’s leave the black man and his bitch alone for now”
The bully’s turned and left. Marcus pulled me to my feet.
“You ok Sam” he said.
“Yes thanks, I owe you one” I said as I pulled myself o my feet.
“Well technically you owe me two, from back in school”
“Oh yeah, thanks again then”.
We walked out of the college and Brad and his friends were waiting and the entrance then Marcus turned to me and said.
“Hey do you want a lift home, probably best because I think they might follow you”
“I don’t want to be any more trouble than I am” I replied.
“You’ll be in more trouble if I don’t so come on I’ll drive you home” he exclaimed.
It was clear I didn’t have a say in the matter so I just agreed and walked over to the car and we drove away. It was only a ten minute drive to my house and when we arrived my mother was putting bins out as Marcus pulled into the drive. Mum was wearing a yellow sun dress as she put the bins out and looked over curiously at the stranger’s car pulling into the drive.
“Who’s that?” Said Marcus.
“That’s my mum”
“Wow” Marcus said in a surprised tone.
“Yeah I know, she’s a milf I’ve been told” I said before he could.
The car stopped and I got out and said goodbye to Marcus when said.
“Do you want picking up from now on, I have to pass here anyway and it could save you a lot of trouble”
“Yeah ok that would be great thanks, I’ll see you in the morning”
Marcus drove away and mum approached me and saw my bruise on my face where the bully had punched me.
“Oh my god what happened to you” she said in a high pitch voice.
“Do you remember those Bullies in school, well they go to college now”
“How long has this been going on for?”
“Since I started”
I explained to mum what happened that day and how Marcus helped me. She said we should thank him and told me to invite him over to dinner the next night. I agreed and started my chores for the night and watched TV before bed.
The next morning Marcus picked me up and on the way to the college I told him that my mum wanted to invite him for dinner.
“Yeah ok I’d love to” he said excitedly.
“She just wanted to say thank you for helping me out yesterday”
The rest of the day was normal except for Brad and his friends had left me alone. It was good day overall. Marcus and I discussed the game on Sunday in his car on the way to my house and what role I’ll be taking on because the kits needed washing for the next day so it looked like I had to work on Sunday.
We arrived at my house and we entered. Mum was there ready to greet her guest as I took his jacket and she led him to the living room. I offered him a beer which mum had bought that day
“Oh really Mrs err?” Marcus paused.
“Call me rose” Said mum.
“You really didn’t have to go to all this trouble for me” replied Marcus.
