i woke up in gerard's arms, as his warm breath was hitting the top of my head. i moaned slightly while stretching my back, trying not to move too much.
- morning... - gerard said with a raspy morning voice, and i smiled to myself.
- morning, how did you sleep? - i asked him, as he stretched out.
- awesome, thanks for asking - he said, and i chuckled.
- anyway, we gotta go to school - he added, and i groaned, looking down at my lap.
- ughh. alright - i said angrily, before sitting up straight.

we got dressed, and he drove us to school. the ride was awkward as fuck, as neither of us wanted to break the silence.

i was in math class with frank. i sat right next to him, deep in my thoughts.
- i think i like him - i told frank, as he widened his eyes at me, he probably couldn't believe what i just said.
- damn girllll.. i thought you just wanted to hook-up with him - he said, sounding fruity as hell. i rolled my eyes, shrugging a little.
- i know, but it just kind of happened.. - i said, as he sighed.
- well either way, you cannot do anything about it, he's older AND he's your teacher. it's unrealistic - he told me, and i groaned loudly in response while rolling my (eyecolor) eyes at him.
- i know, stop making me sadder - i complained, making him shrug.
- sorry, i'm just sayin' - he added, as i sighed. this sucks. and there's nothing i can do about it.

lunch came around, and i told frank i was gonna go for a cigarette. he ate lunch alone, as i had to take a break from everything. i sat down on the grass behind the school and i sighed, putting my head in my hands, trying hard not to cry. but i failed. i don't even know why i'm crying. i should've expected this.

suddenly i felt someone touching my shoulder, and sitting down next to me. i opened my puffy eyes, looking to the side.
- why are you crying? - he said, as i wiped my tears with the sleeve of my blazer.
- i don't know.. - i said queitly, before he hugged me tightly.
- if you ever feel sad, you can always talk to me, you know? - he comforted me, carressing my hair.
- thanks... - i said awkwardly as i didn't know what else to say. we don't know each other for a long time, so this is kind of awkward. after a few minutes of hugging, we pulled away, and made our way towards art class.
- good morning - we said together towards mr way, as he looked up at us.
- lucas, where's your uniform? - mr way asked the blue haired boy, as he didn't have the uniform on. instead he had ripped black skinny jeans, a blink-182 tshirt and some studded bracelets.
- in my house probably - he said, sitting down next to me.
- go to the principal's office. NOW. - he commanded, standing up from his desk, making lucas groan.
- fuck you - he said quite loudly, before storming out. gerard sat back down, focusing on whatever he was doing before. i sighed. it was so awkward. the silence was killing me. fortunately the bell rang after a few seconds, and students filled the room. frank sat where lucas was sitting before, and i smiled at him.

the lesson was finally over, but gerard told me to stay. i waited till all the students left, and then i turned around to face him.
- what's up? - i said, as he sighed while putting his head in his hands. i got a bit nervous and worried from not knowing what was his deal, so i tapped my foot on the ground to try and relax.
- listen y/n. we've got to talk about.. that incident in that room back there. - he said, sounding very serious, as he pointed to the storage room with his thumb. i gulped, crossing my arms at my chest. my heart started beating faster, and i was so scared.
- w-what about it? - i stuttered out, as he came closer to me.
- listen, it was a mistake. everything was a mistake. even the sleepover that we just had. i am your teacher, and it must stay that way. i do not feel anything towards you, you just... i don't know. somehow you made me think that maybe i like you. but i don't. so please, delete my number, and from now on - i want us to be nothing more than a teacher and a student - he said, as i felt my heart breaking piece by piece with every single next word he said. i felt tears forming in my eyes, as my breathing got unsteady.
- a-are you being serious right n-now? - i said, as my throat burned, and i literally just wanted to cry.
- yes, very serious y/n. you may now leave the classroom - he said, unlocking the door, and grabbing his stuff. i just stood there. dumbfounded. he broke my fucking heart. i thought he liked me. i liked him. why did he do that? what did i do wrong?

i felt the tears that were forming in my eyes falling, as i literally just started sobbing. i turned around and left the classroom, not wanting to see that fucker again.
i hate him. i hate myself. i hate everything.

TW: SELF HARM‼️

after a long walk back home, i took out my razor. i know it sounds silly, but it helps. i did a few deep cuts, before putting back the razor and wiping the blood with my little towel. i cried myself to sleep that night. i guess i'm just not good enough.
