Wiliam saw Rose playing with her friends, it was his routine, and he knew when Rose goes to play, so he always stalked her to double ensure her safety. He was still watching her, when he saw one of a guy from his class came to her and stood in front of her smiling, his blood boiled.Even he couldn't hear their talks but could predict that the guy was flirting with her.Idiot boy, flirting with a baby he thought with a rage.He saw red when that boy patted Rose's cheek with an evil smile and left a terrified and trembling Rose behind. Slowly Rose started to walk out of park ignoring her friends who were calling her from behind,He saw Rose moving out of the park in a dazed manner, that it, she was tensed, and the hell he would let her stay tensed; he ran after her and soon caught up with her.

************************

Rose felt someone behind her, before she could turn her wrist was grabbed by a hand, then she saw Wiliam speeding forward in front of her, taking her towards one of those buildings that were under construction.She didn't struggle, she knew as always he would solve her problem, like before, once when she was of six years, a boy from her class used to pull her hairs, he was a very naughty kid, once when he tried to run away after pulling Rose's hair, Rose turned back and slapped him on his face.And after that the boy pushed Rose and she tumbled down on the floor crying. Wiliam who was in class fifth was crossing from there when he saw a crying Rose sitting on the floor rubbing her injured arm.That's it, the next day that naughty guy went to Rose limping and apologized, and promised never to pull her hair ever. Later she got to know that a senior boy from class fifth had beaten that guy up, and digging more information after blackmailing the guy, she got to know that Wiliam Henderson was the guy who had beaten him up.She tried to thank him, even she went to his class to meet him, but ran back thinking about his reaction.And now after these two years, he was still helping her silently but she never thanked him. They reached at a corner of an abandoned building, and he twirled her in front of him.

"What he was saying?" Wiliam demanded.

Rose looked up at him, she had heard his voice before, but it was the first time he was talking to her directly, the effect of his voice was such that made her gulp. Her eight years brain was innocent and couldn't figure out their strange relation.

"I asked, what he was saying." Wiliam shook her and hissed.

"He was... he was... he said me to..." And she broke down, sobbing loudly.

"Tell me." Wiliam hissed, by now his eyes were red.

"I don't know what he wants from me, but he wants me to be a bad girl..." Rose sobbed and wiped her nose with the back of her hand.

"Bad girl?" Wiliam interrogated.

"He *hiccups* he told me to be his girl *hiccups* girlfriend, yesterday, he caught my wrist and twisted it when I tried to complain about him to teacher" By now Wiliam was trembling in rage.

"Why he touched your cheek?" Wiliam was breathing hard.

"He always do" Rose reasoned.

"Go home and study, OK, and from now whenever anyone disturbs you, come to me and that's an order." Wiliam said and Rose nodded meekly.

Rose tried to move past him, when he again blocked her,

"Which cheek he touched?" Wiliam asked looking down at her, Rose blinked thrice before answering: "My left cheek" She said, and humiliating tears formed in her eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Wiliam asked

"I didn't like him kissing me, he is bad boy..." Rose said sobbing lowly.

Wiliam bent down and kissed her left cheek, resulting Rose to gasp in shock

" Hawww, you kissed me" Rose pouted.

"I am not a bad boy, and now I promise no one will ever kiss you or misbehave with you." He promised determined.

Rose thought for sometime before tip toeing up and kissed him on his cheeks too. She smiled at him.

"If you can kiss me for promising me your friendship then I too has to kiss to thank you... Now I have to go, homework time... bye new friend" Rose ran from there leaving a bewildered Wiliam behind, who was still standing with his hand on his cheek.

********************

From the next day the guy who was disturbing Rose was never seen again near her. As Rose was relived, she went to thank Wiliam at their scheduled place to meet. She went there and sat beside him silently, watching the view silently.

"Why are you here Khushi, you should be with your friends" Wiliam said without looking at her.

"I am with my friend." Rose said smiling, " Amely mom says that having friends are very common but good friends are rare, I have many friends but no one of them is my best friend, as they never helped me, but you, you are different, we have never talked before but I know you always help me out, that why from now you are my friend." Rose said explaining her self.

"But I never had any friend before, I am very boring" Wiliam whispered.

"No you are not, you have me now, you can share everything with me" Rose slowly held his hand which was on his thigh, Wiliam jerked and looked towards her.

"I don't talk much" Wiliam whispered.

"You don't need to talk, I am enough for that." And Rose giggled, and for the first time Wiliam smiled with his new friend... best friend.

Rose was chatting away, Wiliam looked at him and sighed, he looked at their interlocked hands, he tightened his hold on her hand and listen intently.
