Assholes In My Class

So in my theatre class there are these 2 homophobic and transphobic dicks. They also never wear their masks correctly. I finally stood up to one of them but it didn't do anything. I've gone to my counselor and now I have to meet with my theatre teacher, my counselor and the asshole I stood up to. He's like 6 ft and a football player so I'm terrified that he'll hurt me. I know I need to do this in order to make sure he understands that what he said is wrong and that there are consequences for his actions but it scares me that I could get hurt because of this.
