Being a Hero-2

So it all began with the beginning of the practice for the play we were part of. And being integral to the play, and a good friend of the guy whose play it was, I was always there. Although he too was amongst those trying to get hit on her but he wasnt the one she needed protection from. And looking back, I do feel immense proud on myself for having done whatever I did for hher Because these ddays I'm kind of getting the feel of how is being like them! Anyway so I started to be there for her throughout the practice and my role of hero began.
The friend whose play it was, was indeed keen to get close to her and to make her his girlfriend to be exact. He even wanted to take her to leave when she had to go home, to which she declined. Consequently I got the chance to walk with her until she could find some convince to take and we'd walk all the way to nearly 2kms and she would talk about her boyfriend and I'd cherish the smile on her face throughout all that. So even I'd let my friend be informed about her being in relationship so as to demotivate him to try his luck. Gradually we had couple of character changes, hence bringing in new people thus more attempts of people flirting with her. So I started being protective of her. Everywhere we were together I'd try to stay close to her so as others don't try that; and by close I mean physically close (though just enough to not allow everyone the room to do so). Also I'd keep her engaged in my talks so as to deeply discourage their not-so-good remarks and comments. One or two of them had some common friends who too obviously knew about her and thus they too came along or later just to see her. I sensed that, and thus started more conversation with her and that too keeping them close company so as to not give them the impression of being too overprotective. I even made a friend with a few of them and also prevented them from trying to get too close to her. Even for the guy whom I thought to be out of stuffs like this was attempting hard despite not being part of our team in the beginning, too tried. I noticed this when he was too very keen to go and return her purse that she accidently forgot. So despite too much being noticed or maybe not being noticed at all I was, from the background and the foreground was preventing her from feeling any discomfort possible. Also their own feuds helped me out a bit as well.
However soon after we were done with our play she was called upon for another even wherein those guys too were part of and to be perfectly honest I was the standalone guy not even trying to give a try to attempt a hit on her. Then there was yet another even and I too, tagged along, basically because she was there and I knew what she might have to go through which I prevented
There was this guy, playboy kind, who was very intently trying to sit touching her. We were all preparing banners for the even and I was sitting besides her and it was a no surface bench and we just seated ourselves upon the leftover wood of it. There was a little bit of room besides me on the right and she was sitting to my left. He came up and asked me to shift and I refused. Though I didn't directly say that, knowing if it comes to tension, no way I was even close to standing a chance against him. So I just improvised and said 'I can't shift, I'm working. He insisted and I resisted and didn't shift even a single inch because I knew and well aware in my mind of his pervert intentions. I know nothing seems too significant yet it all did make much of a difference; it was, in my view a protection from a minor kind of molestation that would have started out of few small closeness (regardless of her being resistive) and would have eventually grown up to an impactful extent. And I prevented everyone of it in a very calm and subtle way and to be fairly honest, only because of the realisation I had of what she might be going through in the beginning.
