A Glimpse of Heaven... (weeklychris/christian collins fanfic)

23

"Raffy? What are you doing there?" I look up to see Mars staring down at me. Looking a bit concerned.

"Well... you can see I'm crying." I let out a forced chuckle as I wipe my eyes and the stray hair away from my face. Good thing I didn't wear makeup or even mascara today. Mars held out his hand to help me up.

"No shit sherlock.. i can see that. But the question is why?" Then it hit me. It's Tuesday last period. I have classes with both Mars and Collins. "Are you alright? You seem kinda pale."

"I-I'm okay. We should just head to class." I rush past him to avoid any kore interogation. I can't tell him I like his bestfriend and cried about him in the freakin' hallway.

I enter the classroom earning a bunch of disgusted eyes looking at me. Do I look that bad? Then I felt a oresence behind me. It's Mars. He held the small of my back while we go to our usual seats. Collins was also sitting at the same spot. He just stared as I walked. He didn't even show that he was concerned. Why I had bloodshot eyes. And I hate him for that. He doesn't even know I like him. I sit straight on my chair looking at the ceiling to disperse the balls of tears forming at the corners of my eyes.

I feel a burning glare at the back of my head throughout the whole period. Mr.Smith the Calculus teacher who asked Collins to tutor me was extra grumpy today too. A full hour passed by and I didn't learn shit. I kept my full attention on the window to avoid glancing at Collins. And now class is d-u-n, dun! I gather my materials and walk to the door but-.

"Mr. Collins and Ms. Rogers please stay for a while. I need some update about your tutoring." Mr.Smith why do you always do this. Put me in the same room as him.

"Actually she's learning a lot. And I think she doesn't need my tutoring anymore." The knife that stabbed my heart went deeper.

I just stare at my shoes and bite my lip ignoring the looks I'm getting from them.

"Is that so Ms.Rogers? You don't need Chris anymore?" You guys are killing me! Literally! You don't ask if I need him because I do need him but I don't know how he feels about me. Maybe he's telling him that to get me off gis back.

I whisper a short and straight to the point answer. "Yes." I saw Collins' hand curl into a ball at the side of his pocket.

"Okay then. You guys can go separate ways now. No more tutoring. Ms.Rogers I hope you learned your lesson through your tutoring hours."

You know what Mr.Smith? I did learn a lesson here. I learned to never let the person you l-love go. There I said it! I love him. I really do!

"Yes sir. Excuse me but I have to go." I run out straight to the bathroom.

This is one crappy day. The last thing I need is for Melanie to start ranting at my face. I trap myself into one of the cubicles and let myself drown into my own tears.

"Is anybody here?" Someone just entered the bathroom. "If you're a serial killer I would like you to know I have a stun gun!"

"Gess? Is that you?" I stand up and wipe my tears.

"Babe. Get out of there. Let's talk about this." I unlock the door and walk towards her. She eyed me uo and down before opening her arms wide that perfectly fits me. "Aaawwww! You look awful. What happened? Mars told me he saw you crying in the hallway earlier. And where's a more obvious place you'll find a girl crying than the girl's restroom."

"Do I look that bad?" Sniff sniff.

"Honestly? You look like crap." I tug on her hair that made her flinch just a little bit.

"Aww. What a good best friend you are."

"Offcourse! Let's get you to Ben and Jerry's and lets plot the murder plan there." I chuckle. Now that's my bestfriend.

"Wait for me in your car. I'll just grab something from my locker. Let's just come back for my car later."

"You don't want me to come? No? Okay. Don't be such a slowpoke."

I start heading my way to my locker. Few students are here. Only those who stay for detentions or people who overstudy. I pass the janitor's closet and straight to my locker. I put my books and exchange it for the ones I need for my quizzes tomorrow. I shut and lock it. I walk faster. I feel a little creeped out here. Feels like somebody's watching. I was about to pass the Janitor's closet when it suddenly opened and a hand was wrapped around my stomach and the other on top of my mouth.

"Mmmmmppphhff!! Hmmmfflppp mfff!! Gfffff!"
