One week later​

"Hey, nerd," you heard behind you. You swallowed thickly – you knew it was the kid you hit back and you hadn't seen Calum yet that morning since you'd only just arrived to school, so you could only imagine what was about to happen to you.

You ignored him at first – you didn't want him to know you heard him – but he clearly wasn't going to give up that easily. He grabbed your shoulder and spun you around, causing you to squeal loudly as your back hit the locker next to yours.

"It's not polite to ignore people when they're talking to you," he growled.

"I didn't know you were talking to me," you told him. You were surprised that you were coming off as confident as you were – you were understandably scared to death, but that didn't mean you had to let him know that.

"I made it perfectly clear I was talking to you."

"No, you didn't," you challenged, "My name is Y/N – not 'nerd'."

"Do you want me to hit you again, nerd?" he laughed bitterly.

"I want you to leave me alone."

"Well, with that attitude, you'll be lucky if I let you walk away from me in one piece."

"I'd certainly like to see you try that, Stevens," Calum's voice suddenly came from somewhere beside you. Although the bully immediately backed off, he still wasn't finished taunting you.

"Getting someone else to fight your battles for you now, nerd?" Brian scoffed.

"No, she's not," Calum answered, "But since it's clear you have a problem with her fighting back and understanding her when she tells you to stop, I think it's appropriate to give her a little help."

"You call that fighting back?" he laughed, "I didn't realize your standards were that low, Hood; Although, they'd have to be pretty low in order for you to hang around her, wouldn't they?"

It was like a switch went off in Calum – all his calmness flying out the window. He took a step toward Brian, but you quickly grabbed his forearm, keeping him in the spot beside you. He took a deep breath to recollect himself before speaking loudly enough for the students now fixated on your little group to hear.

"You've got a pretty nasty looking black eye there, Stevens," Calum mentioned through gritted teeth, "Should I tell everyone which one of us-" He motioned between you and himself. "-gave it to you?"

Brian narrowed his eyes at the two of you before turning around and stomping away. Calum glanced around the hallway, causing everyone to quickly return to what they'd been doing before.

"Are you okay, princess?" Calum asked softly, putting his hand on your cheek and inspecting your face to make sure Brian didn't touch you before he got there.

"I'm fine, Cal," you murmured, letting go of his arm and turning back to your locker. He moved his arms around your waist, bringing your back into his chest and hugging you tightly.

"Did I tell you how impressed I am with that black eye you gave him?" he asked. You finally cracked a smile, unable to hold back your giggle.
