Chapter Seventeen; Not Edited

'Calum, I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you this weekend. Ryder deserved it though, no one should be touching you without my permission. With that being said, you better stay away from the tan boy or consequences will happen. I know when you're with him, even when you don't think I'm watching I actually am.

However, even though I think Ryder is a sweet boy I think you can do better. Why won't you choose me? I know you don't know who I am but I will reveal myself soon and when I do you will be mine. Do not get close to Ryder, or even the redhead named Michael Clifford. I saw you were being cozy with him at his house and I didn't like that at all. If you continue to do this someones life will be on the line. I will see you soon Calum.

Red'

I felt someones presence by me and I closed my locker to see Ryder standing there with fright in his eyes. "Ryder, are you okay?" I watched him shake his head and I frowned at the sight of him trembling with fear. "Calum, you need to stay away from me today." I was about to ask why but the boy already walked away, leaving me confused on what just happened.

Whisper must of got around in school on what happened to me and Ryder on Saturday night because people kept looking at me with sympathetic or annoyed glances. I decided to go to World History where I knew Niall would be there. I opened the door and immediately all eyes fell on me, even the teacher was looking at me with a small smile.

I was surprised to see the lilac boy wasn't even there and it made me think of different possibilities on what happened to him. I didn't have to think long because the door opened and the lilac boy walked through the door as soon as the late bell rung. I was about to say something to him but he looked the other way when I was about to open my mouth. A frown appeared on my face and I decided to shake it off and pay attention to the teacher who was beginning to teach the class.

When the bell rung to signal it was time for me to head to English, I grabbed my books and ran to my next class where Ashton was waiting for me. I sat down in my seat and saw Ashton walk in moments after me and he had on this goofy smirk that made me chuckle to myself. "What has gotten you so happy Ashton?" I asked the boy who still hasn't stopped smirking, making me roll my eyes in a fond manner.

"You will see at lunch." I furrowed my eyebrows at that and he shrugged which made me even more confused. With a huff of annoyance I turned my attention back to the front and waited for the class to be finished. My nerves were getting to me as the class proceeded on and on, until the final bell rung, signaling it was time for lunch.

I pushed my purse closer to my shoulder as I walked out of the classroom and made my way to the lunch room where a lot of students where waiting at the front. I saw Ivy and Harry waiting by the door and when they saw me coming they started to squeal which made people look in my direction. "What's going on?" I asked and Harry gave me a large smile and Ivy only wiggled her eyebrows which caused me to groan loudly. "Just tell me!" I exclaimed and my question was answered when the blue haired girl pushed me into the lunch room and a gasp left my lips what was in front of me. Michael was standing in front of me with flowers and a nervous expression on his face.

"Michael? What's going on?" I asked, biting my lip when I saw him walk up to me. A blush appeared on my face when he handed me the flowers and I gave him a small 'thank you.' "These are beautiful Michael." The redhead's face lit up when I said that and the people around started to coo at the sight of us blushing like crazy.

"Will you be my boyfriend and go to prom with me?

My heart was caught in my throat as Michael stood there in the middle of the lunch room with his hands in his pocket and the smile he was wearing was overwhelming me. I was shocked at least because he asked me two important questions that made a smile appear on my face, even a light blush as I nodded in agreement. "Yes, I would love to go to prom with you as your boyfriend."

I never seen a bigger smile on the redhead's face than now. I stepped in front of him and wrapped my arms around him, in which returned. Everyone around us started to clap and cheer as he gave me a small peck on my cheek. The people in the room seemed to be happy, except one person who is planning to ruin my relationship with Michael, even if it means doing it during the prom.
