Andy reached out as Gideon’s glasses fell, she caught them deftly and quickly put them back on Gideon. It was obvious why because Gideon started screaming in pain the moment they had been knocked off. The sound cut through her. She turned back to Chase.

Ben stepped around Chase and ran in, trying to tackle Andy while she was turned, focusing on Gideon. He only bounced, rather ineffectively, against her, almost knocking himself to the ground. 

[color=cde0e1] “Because we were dealing with a whole bunch of other bullshit. You weren’t here. You can stay out of it. He is my boyfriend, leave him the fuck alone.”[/color] Ben wasn’t much shorter than Andy, but he was still frustratingly shorter than her. He wanted to scream. 

[color=b71d5d] “If you want to date a bully, you’re an idiot.”[/color] 

[color=cde0e1] “He isn’t a bully. You are.”[/color] Ben gestured between Andy and Gideon. [color=cde0e1] “You’re the ones who just zero warning punched him and then kicked him while he was down. That’s fucked up.”[/color] 

[color=b71d5d] “You yelled to be put down.”[/color] Andy tried to defend, but it was becoming obvious to her though that she had read the situation wrong. She didn’t trust Chase, not one damn bit, not with how Percy had reacted to him, so she didn’t want to lose this fight, especially to a freshman. 

[color=cde0e1] “Because when he picks me up and twirls me like that, it is embarrassing. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like it, and it sure as hell doesn’t mean it gives you any right to sucker punch him.”[/color] Ben was shaking with anger.
