Vic's P.O.V.

"Vic! Are you listening to me?" exclaimed my friend Rebekah, waving her hands in front of my face.

"Huh?"

"I said...maybe we could go on a double date this weekend. You and Oliver, me and Johnnie. It would be fun." she told me.

"Um...yeah sure" I said. I wasn't paying much attention. Mr. Quinn had just walked into the cafeteria with a few other teachers.

"VIC!" yelled Rebekah. "Can you be any more obvious?" she rolled her eyes.

"Shut up." I murmured. It wasn't that obvious.

"Vic has the hots for Mr. Quinnnnn" she mocked.

"Jesus Bex. Do you have to be so mean?" I said, getting up and going to dump my tray. I didn't really want to deal with her anymore so I ended up going to the music room for the remainder of lunch. Mr. Preciado was in there when I got to the room.

"Ahh, Vic. What brings you here today?" he asked.

"I just need a few minutes with music. Calms the nerves, ya know?" I answered.

"I understand completely" he said looking back down at the sheet music on his desk. I walked over to the nearest keyboard and started playing. I didn't feel comfortable enough to start singing because someone else was in the room, but I did play. I played like I had never played before.

The bell rang soon after. I sighed.

Then I remembered that my next period was philosophy with Mr. Quinn. My heart beat quickened.

As I was walking through the hall, someone came behind me and grabbed my waist.

"Hello there, baby" my boyfriend, Oliver whispered in my ear, spinning me around so I was facing him.

"Hey Oli." I answered.

"Where are you off to now?" he asked in his strong British accent.

"Um...what?" I asked, clearly distracted.

"Can I walk you to class?" he asked.

"Uh yeah. Sure." I answered. He was so sweet. Honestly, I didn't deserve him.

"How has your day been?" he asked.

"Okay, I guess" I answered.

"Same here, babe." He said.

Then I grabbed his hand and pulled him aside from the middle of the hallway. Today was our 2 year anniversary and I forgot about the necklace I bought for him until just now. "I got you something" I beamed, and pulled out the gift and handed it to him. "Happy anniversary, Oliver." I said.

Then he gave me a scared look. "Frick" he said shaking his head. "I totally forgot it was today. Shoot." He said.

I was disappointed. We have been together two years today and he forgot our anniversary. I wasn't as angry as I should be, but it still hurt. "Oh." I said simply.

"I'll-I'll make it up to you I promise." he said, hugging me. "Are you still coming over later?" he asked.

"Mmhm" I answered. Tonight would be great. Two years of being with Oliver and I still couldn't get used to the way he looked at me or the way our lips buzzed when we kissed or even the way...never mind.

He finished walking me to my class and gave me a quick peck on my cheek, making sure no one was watching. "I'll see you tonight" he whispered.

"Bye" I said waving goodbye.

I walked into the class after that and all of the thoughts running through my mind all went away. Standing at the front of the class writing the plans for today's lesson was one of the most beautiful men in this whole diddly darn country.

Sure, Oliver was cute, but no ones beauty could measure up to that of Mr. Quinn. (No not even Andy Biersack) "Mr. Fuentes...so glad you have decided to join us today." he answered. I knew what he was referring to. I tended to skip this class most days of the week because I found it so hard to focus.

I kept my head down and sat down at my desk. Everyone was laughing and talking among themselves. I had no one in this class to talk to. Half of them hated me. I had come out to the whole school last year as gay and consequently, I lost almost all of my friends to homophobia. Besides Rebekah, of course.

*Cough* "Fag" someone said while throwing a paper ball at my head. It was the type of thing I dealt with everyday so I eventually got used to it.

"Mr. Worsnop, see me after class." Mr. Quinn said, narrowing his eyes at him.

"It's really not that big of a deal" I said to him.

"Well, It's a big deal to me Vic." he said.

Soon after, the bell rang. "Um...uh Vic, you stay too." he said. I sighed and stayed in my seat as the rest of the class filed out of the classroom.

After everyone left, he called Danny up to his desk. "Mr. Worsnop, please tell me...the definition of a 'fag'" he asked.

"A little pansy who likes guys when they are supposed to like girls. The world would be better without gay people." he answered.

"I think...the world would be better without homophobic douches that cannot even spell the word faggot if they tried. A week of detention for you, Mr. Worsnop" he said, handing Danny a little pink slip.

"Damnit." he whispered under his breath.

After Danny left, Mr. Quinn called me up to his desk. "Vic, I want you to know that it's okay to speak out against bullies. You aren't a 'fag' and I hope that you don't think too much about what other people are saying about you." he stated.

"I understand, Mr. Quinn." he said.

"Now, um Vic, I'm about to tell you a little secret. I have known ever since I was young that, I , myself was gay. I didn't let it bother me. I mean, under the circumstances, I think it's better if we keep this between us. You know how the people are around here, and I can't really afford to lose my teaching position." he said.

I was shocked. Mr. Quinn...gay? He really does a good job at hiding it.

All I could do was look at the ground. My eyes bore into my feet as I started blushing madly, for no reason at all.

"That is all" he said.

I started walking towards the door when I heard, "Oh, and Mr. Fuentes, If you ever need to talk, my door will always be open."

I walked out to face the rest of the day.
