As my hand flee up to Calum's cheek, I immediately regretted it. However, the loud sound of skin to skin force rang through my ears and his face turned completely red, partly because of my hand but mostly from anger.

"What. Did. You. Just. Do?" Calum growled

"I, I-I" I stuttered, I didn't get a second to think before Calum grabbed me and dragged me behind the science block again, but this time he practically threw me against the wall.

"Tell me what you just did" he whispered to me angrily.

I couldn't speak, my mouth was just shaking with odd noises coming out of it

"Tell me!" Calum shouted in my face, making me jump again

"I slapped you across the face" I shouted back with sudden confidence.

"And why did you do that?" He said angrily

"Because you cheated on me you lying ass hole!" I shouted again and pushed him off me, going to walk away, but unfortunately Calum was too quick and grabbed my wrist, spinning me around to face him.

I felt a hot wave of pain surge through my own cheek as this time Calum's hand met my cheek in a forceful slap.

I grabbed my cheek and felt a few warm wet tears run down my face.

"I hate you" I growled at him and ran away.

I got through the rest of the day without seeing Calum again. He most likely went home. Unfortunately for me, I didn't see Mikey again, but I did have another run in with Luke Hemmings, who again was being rude and impolite.

As soon as I left school, I went straight to my grans, as usual.

"What's wrong lovey?" She asked as soon as I walked in.

I burst into tears again and she rushed over to take me into her front room and gave me a huge hug.

"What happened?" Gran asked me.

"It's Calum." I whispered

"If he has hurt you I swear to go-" she shouts standing up

"Gran relax, sit down, he's always been slightly possessive and today I was sitting with a boy who I met in psychology, Calum saw and blew up at me so I threw his little kissing someone in a bar affair in his face, and he admitted that he had been cheating on me all summer with her, so I slapped him, we argued and he ended up slapping me back, I know I shouldn't have but I was so angry and-"

"Shh, shh, yes you shouldn't have slapped him, but a boy should never hit a girl and he totally deserved that, now you just have to be careful as west probably hates you now and you live there and you have no boys in the gang to look out for you, you need to befriend someone in west or another gang to protect you ok?"

"Ok," I agreed.

For the rest of the night we just chatted about nothing in particular and she made me dinner before I went back to my mums

"Goodbye gran," I waved,

"Be careful!" She reminds me and watches until she cant see me anymore.

As I turned onto my street the place was eerily empty and when I looked at my house, I noticed why. Spray painted on my front wall was "watch out" and my living room window had been smashed.
