Chapter 44 - Ocean Outlaws

"Uh…" Ava nudged my arm. "Who is this?"

I sighed. I couldn't deal with this. The students weren't anywhere close this time, which meant that I could go all out on him.

"Just a random guy who can't take a message."

The Fishman got closer and took a good look at Ava. "Is she your girlfriend?"

I shook my head. "No, she isn't." I noticed her face becoming red for a short moment as she had difficulty looking in my direction. She was probably shy.

"I see. Then, how about becoming my girlfriend? You got one hell of a body."

Her eyes went immediately in his direction. It seemed that comment had managed to rile up the extremely peaceful Ava. I had never seen that glint in her eyes, and it was a nice change, to be honest.

"What did you just say?"

"I just said that you have a nice body."

Finley looked around himself for validation as he started laughing.

I whispered to Ava, "Do you want me to deal with them?"
