Thursdays are your busiest day of the week. You had 7 classes back to back with only 1 hour break in between the fourth and fifth lesson. It didn't help with each class being on the other side of the school from the next. After class, you'd come back to your dorm half alive and not having enough energy to walk back down to the great hall for supper. With this in mind, you were already in a bad mood for the day.
Sitting down in your last class of the day, you were tapping the floor with your heel waiting for the lesson to finally finish. You were sat with your best friend and some other friends. Not far from you, sat Tom with his 2 friends, whilst on the other side of the room sat the girl you weren't too fond of who seemed to always have a one sided issue with you. Y/b/f/n and you were talking through out the lesson chitchatting about whatever came to mind, when you heard
"Notice how stupid y/n sounds" coming from j/g/n (jealous girl name)
You ignore it knowing she's only trying to get on your nerves.
"She's so annoying, she probably thinks she's all that" at this point you had enough of her shit talking so you stood up from your desk and walked over to hers.
"Do you have an issue with me?" You spoke as you crossed your arms leaning on your chest.
"No, why would I have an issue with you?" She replied whilst she an her friends started sharing glances and smirking.
"Quit acting like a jealous girl then and grow up" you say gaining the whole classes attention.
"Me? Jealous? Of you? Never, one wipe and it's all gone for you" she said laughing referring to your face.
"Thank god it only takes one wipe for me, because yours probably requires multiple, and take my name out of your nasty mouth bitch whilst you're at it too" you replied as turned around and walked back to your desk.
"Fucking ugly bitch, I'm going to handle your ass" she yelled your way throwing a quill your way which you fortunately moved away from just in time.
"I'm sorry, but I will not be fighting you, you are ugly as it is so it's safe to say God handled you before I had to" you spoke at her, silencing her for the rest of the lesson. You felt a stare your way. You turned in the direction and saw Tom looking at you as he smirked amused as he just witnessed the whole scene.
The bell just rang signalling the end of the school day. You grab a hold of your bag, still midway through a conversation with your friends, and made your way to the exit whilst smiling at Tom and pointing to your watch telling him to hurry up. Tom needed to desperately talk to his professor about something and could only find time to do it that day at that time.
You and your friends just walked through the door way turning right heading to the courtyard. Behind, you heard some commotion but were convinced it was the younger years messing around. Suddenly, you felt a hard push on your back causing for you to fall onto your knees and hands hard, definitely grazing them. Turning your head in that direction you saw j/g/n standing with her friends staring down at you laughing. B/f/n helped you get back up and spoke up before you could.
"Pathetic, honestly, can't even do anything when she's facing you, so you have to do it from behind"
"And now she needs her friend defending her, how sad" the girl replied in a mocking tone. You felt a pair of hands on your shoulders now, to your surprise being Tom who must've seen what happen. Getting out of his grasp, you got close to her having to look up at her due to the height difference even when you were wearing heels.
"You're actually mental, I told you I didn't want to fight, but it seems like you're really asking for it"
"Oh my god, you're such a drama queen, calm down sis" she spoke back at your face laughing at your face again. You turned around with everyone being able to see you were annoyed and had enough of her. You then suddenly turned back around punching her right in her nose resulting in her falling backwards into her friends arms, holding her nose in pain and for the whole crowd to gasp and for Tom to smirk but eventually trying to calm you down.
"Hopefully your already horribly done contour will be able to cover up that wonky broken nose, sis" you spat in her direction now squatting to be at her eye level.
You stood back up noticing the crowd and realised you were about to get in a lot of trouble. Panicking, you got your stuff up off the floor, and started heading straight to your dorm, with Tom following you.
"What you did back there was pretty impressive" he spoke now walking side by side with you in an empty corridor.
"I don't know what happen, I didn't mean to hit her, but oh my, it felt so good to finally give her what she deserves after years of her sneak dissing everyone"
"Well, you must be happy then"
"I am happy, but I'm also scared, I've never had a detention before and I'm definitely going to get one"
"Don't worry about it, I'll sort it out, and if not, I'll join you" he said calmly. In that moment you dropped your things and hugged him tight crying due to all the years of pain you have relieved just a few minutes prior.
Now you were sat in the great hall, eating dinner with Tom in a peaceful silence when in the corner of your eye you noticed j/g/n walking in, clearly in a bad mood, with a bandage covering her bruised nose.
"You really had a lot of bottled up rage, I see" Tom whispered to you making you smirk.
"I guess so" you replied as she walked right passed you giving you a nasty glare.
"Anyways, don't do it again, I've managed to convince the professors to let you off, but under the condition, that you can't do it again, so you must now be on your best behaviour" he spoke, his tone now being monotonous, as he reached for his cup.
"Okay, I promise I won't do it again then, thanks for that love"
"It's alright, sis" he joked causing for you to glare at him before you couldn't hide your smile anymore.
As you two finished dinner and stood up from the table, you could still feel j/g/n still glaring at you, unfortunately for her, you couldn't care enough to give her the satisfaction of reacting. Tom snaked his arm around your waist as you made your way towards the dungeons.
"Tag, you're it" you yelled out, getting out of his grasp and tapping his shoulder, starting to run away, at least as fast your heels would allow you too. Tom walked after you not bothering to chase. You attempted to run down the stairs but lost your balance almost falling down but catching yourself on the handrail. You erupted in laughter as Tom caught up to you, with worry on his face as the last thing he saw was you tripping up.
"That's not funny, I already dedicated some of my time this afternoon to bandaging up your knees and now you're running around carelessly"
"Oh my god, loosen up, plus I didn't hurt myself"
"And you're making a lot of noise, and you're supposed to be on your best behaviour otherwise you're going to get in trouble"
"I'm always on my best behaviour, today was the only exception" you defended yourself.
"You don't seem to be on your best behaviour when it's just you and me in my dorm though, hmm?" He now teased, causing for your jaw to drop at his bold and sexual comment.
"I'm staying in my dorm tonight, just to prove my best behaviour then"
"No, you're not" Tom said pulling you in to his side still laughing at his previous remark.
