You are a teacher at the school of good. You've been dating Lady Lesso for 3 and a half years, and you're ready to take the next step in your relationship. You wanna propose. Of course you know the perfect time to do it; in 2 and a half months. On her birthday. The only problem is that you're horrible at keeping secrets. You need to find a good ring though, so you go to the person who'll gladly help.

"Hey, Clarissa. I need your help with something." You say as you barge into her room.

"Yes Y/N? What's up?" She asks, putting the book she was reading down. You come in and close the door behind you.

"I need your help picking a ring for Leo. I wanna propose." You say and her face instantly lights up.

"Eek!! Of course i'll help!" She says excitedly.

"Good. Let's go." You say and turn around and open the door.

"What now!?" She asks surprised.

"Yes! She's busy right now and should be busy for a few more hours! Let's go!!" You say.

A couple hours later

You picked out a ring that you know is perfect for Leo. It's just so her. You hate that you're gonna have to keep this a secret from her for almost 3 months. She knows you so well you just hope she won't be able to tell that you're hiding something from her. You gave the ring to Clarissa as not to risk Leo seeing it. You can't stop smiling though.

You walk into you and Leo's shared room and you see her sitting on the bed reading a book. She's back earlier than expected.

"Hi love!" You say as you lay on the bed beside her.

"Hello darling. I was gonna see if you wanted to do something together but you weren't here when I got back. Where were you?" She says. Oh come on. She's already questioning you?

"I was uh with Clarissa...! I didn't know when you'd be back so I went and hung out with her." You say nervously which causes her to raise an eyebrow.

"You sound unsure." She says. Damn it she already suspects something.

"Nope! Just tired love." You say and snuggle up to her.

You almost gave it away. This is gonna be a lot harder than you thought. The only way you can think to avoid slipping up, is to avoid conversation as much as possible. You hate that you'd basically be avoiding her, but you don't wanna ruin the surprise.

A month and a half later

So far you've only talked to Leo when absolutely necessary. You hate it but you feel that it's needed. You told the other good teachers about your plan so they know what to suspect. Leo seems to be getting worried but it's only 1 more month and then you don't have to worry anymore.

You walk into the bedroom you share with your girlfriend and she looks mad. Or upset. Or both maybe. You're concerned. Is she okay?

"Leo? Are you okay?" You ask, hoping that she is.

"No! I'm not! Why have you been avoiding me?!" She yells. You were not expecting that.

"I haven't. What do you mean?" You ask, hoping she drops it soon.

"Yes you have! You're so distant. Are you cheating on me...?" She ask nervously with tears in her eyes.

"What?! No! Of course not!" You say. Apparently that's the wrong thing to say.

"I can't believe you! Get out! We're over! I can't be with a cheater! To think I love you with all my heart! I gave you everything and you cheat?! Get out!" She yells and you're shocked. She thinks you cheated on her??

"Wha-! No! Leo-" You begin but she cuts you off.

"You don't get to call me that! Leave!" She yells and you know there is no convincing her otherwise.

You hold in your tears and turn around, not saying another word. The second you get out of the room, your tears start to fall. You run to Clarissa, seeing as you need a new room. This isn't how this is supposed to go! You were supposed to propose to her, not end up having her dump you!

You burst into Clarissa's room and immediately fall to your knees and cry. She runs to your side to help you.

"Y/N?! What happened?! Are you okay?!" She asks as she sits beside you.

"S-she thought I w-was cheating on h-her...! S-she broke u-up with me...! I-i need a n-new room..." You say between sobs.

"Oh honey..." Clarissa says and rubs your back.

The next day you decide to pack your stuff up while Lesso is out of the room teaching a class. You made sure to get the ring from Clarissa.

Once you finished packing your things, you get a piece of paper to write a note. You want to make sure she knows what you were planning to do.

You take the note and the velvet box and put it in her drawer, knowing she uses that drawer most.

2 Months Later

You're broken. You're not yourself. You only leave your room to teach your class. You eat every two or three days. Still, you don't stay in the dining hall, you take your food to your room. Other than that, you cry. You barely sleep. Every time you close your eyes you see her and the breakup.

Lesso's POV

I can't believe she would cheat on me. It's ridiculous. I haven't seen her at all since I ended things. It's time for lunch though, so I might as well head down.

I sit down at the table and all the Ever teachers just glare at me. What the fuck did I do wrong? Then a student comes up to Dovey and I can't help but eavesdrop.

"Professor Dovey...?" She asks.

"Yes Beatrix?" Dovey says, turning her head towards her.

"Is Miss. Y/N okay? We're all worried about her... She seems malnourished and really sad... She also never wears short sleeves anymore... She's not herself..." Beatrix says. Why the hell would she be malnourished? Or sad? She cheated on me! And why doesn't she wear short sleeves anymore?

"Oh crap. I'll check on her Beatrix. Don't worry too much." Dovey says and Beatrix just nods and then leaves. I scoff. Apparently really loud.

"What's your problem?" Anemone asks. I roll my eyes.

"Why would she be sad? She's the one who cheated on me." I say, angrily.

"You're bloody stupid if you actually believe she did that! Check your drawer if you wanna know the truth! Fucking idiot." Dovey says and walks off. Check my drawer? Also Dovey just cussed!

After lunch I go to my room and check my drawer. I see a velvet box and a note. I read the note first.

Dear Leonora,
I know I started to get distant but it's not because I cheated on you. Not even close to that. It's because I was planning to propose and we both know i'm horrible at keeping secrets. I'm sorry I ever made you feel like I would ever cheat on you. I love you forever and always.

With all my love,
Y/N

I start crying. Shit! What have I done...
