Allera felt a sudden burst of tears sliding down her cheeks and then hitting the school rooftop concrete. She just hit her 16 birthday and already had her first breakup.

"I'm sorry, but I just don't have feelings for you anymore.", Said the guy.

The clammy, dark sky with tears coming out of the cloud matches the mood for Allera's broken heart. Her tears blended with the raindrop.

He walked away and not even once he tried to look back at her. The love and the memories they shared has been meaningless ,or so Allera thought, that turned her heartbreak to rage.

"I fucking hate you !", Allera screams out. 

That stops the guy from walking, but he still didn't look back. Then he left Allera from her eyesight. She screams and screams till her voice becomes hoarse but even then she still screamed her lungs out.

"I fucking hate him! I fucking hate you!"

She cried and fell onto the ground holding her heart that felt like it has been stabbed by a thousand knives. If someone had heard her crying, the sound of her gut-wrenching cry has the ability to crush your heart and feel her pain.

I was dozing off while looking at the sky on the school rooftop. It's dark today and I think it's going to rain soon. But then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I look to my right and inside my heart, I was expecting it to be someone else. But instead, it was, 

"Hey.. what are you doing here?", 

It's my teacher. 

"Oh.. yeah hey Mr. Smith," I said while looking back to the dark sky.

He proceeds to stand beside me and look up to the sky too, I glance at him for a little, wondering what is he up to. He looked like he was about to say something but didn't.

"Stop with the glancing. I'm a teacher, I can visit the rooftop too once in a while.", he said while still staring at the sky.

I was about to open my mouth to say something but he decided that he was faster.

"Remember last year, when I found you passed out here out of dehydration? Girl...", Mr. Smith shook his head in disbelief. 

I chuckled, "Yeah, of course, 'cause your hot ass boyfriend was there." 

He grimaces, "Uh.. you mean ex??".

I looked at him, "What? Good for him..", I joke.

He pushes me lightly with his elbow, "Hey. That's a minus point for your upcoming test". 

Then we laughed together. 

I and Mr. Smith have this little relationship because of that day, my birthday. I passed out crying while Mr. Smith was trying to sneak his boyfriend into the rooftop without no one seeing him but instead, he saw me laying there. He thought I was dead. 

It's a secret within the school district. He knows the reason I passed out and he has been checking up on me weekly since that day. We talk a lot, and he's like an older brother to me.

"So.. how you feelin' next week is your birthday. The exact date when he dumped your ass." Mr. Smith said finally taking his eyes off the sky.

I  flip my body and rest my back on the railing of the rooftop. I sigh. 

"It's still so hard to just stay normal and okay in front of him and I just dumped Jack too by the way," I said proudly.

Mr. Smith tapped my back twice, as his 'good job'. I have been wanting to break it off with Jack for a while. Mr. Smith knew that and has been supportive.
