Bobby stopped in her tracks as Xander blocked her, then hugged her close. A red blush came to her face as she blinked in surprise.<br/><br/>â€œXander, their starting to say stuff about youâ€¦I â€“I donâ€™t want you to have to deal with thatâ€¦â€ She looked at his chest, her hands in her pockets. â€œI shouldnâ€™t have such a cool, caring person as my friend.â€ Taking a gulp she closed her eyes listening to the soft sounds of Metallica playing in the background.<br/><br/>Softly Bobby leaned back to look up at Xander; his sad eyes. Gently she raised her hands to his cheeks and smooshed them together softly. â€œI will try and not let what they are saying bother meâ€¦Okay?â€ She smiled and sighed.
