*~Gerard's P.O.V.~*

I didn't want to chaperone the prom; the last thing I wanted to do was spend my Saturday surrounded by angsty, bratty, hormonal teenagers basically having air-sex on the dancefloor. But, the school had made me chaperone to make up for all of my absences this year. huh.

It was horribly boring. I found myself just sitting alone at a table, making sure nothing too bad was happening. Not that I'd really put much effort into stopping anything. I don't give a shit.

I sighed and looked down at the ground to avoid watching these teenagers air-fuck. The next time I looked up, something happened. shouldn't you be used to looking at teenagers in situations like that by now, mr. pedo?

I made eye contact with Sky.

What the hell she doing here? I thought for sure she'd stay home! As if this fucking chaperone gig needed to get any worse! I'm already in hell, but now I have to see my ex-girlfriend on top of it.

When we made eye-contact, I smiled sadly and waved. Die instead

She didn't wave back. GOOD!!!!!

I don't know why I expected her to wave back. I hurt her so bad, I'm surprised she didn't vomit just because she made eye contact with a piece of shit like me. I wish she would have

She pulled out her phone and began to do something on it, probably so she didn't have to look at me. yeah

I looked down at the ground again to distract myself from watching her. This prom is already hell and we're like ten minutes in.

I looked back up, but she was still just on her phone. I wish I hadn't hurt her so bad. Then I could pass the time by talking to her. gross

Prom was beginning to feel like an eternity. I was so bored.

Sky looked more beautiful than ever today. It was hard not to stare. I'm sure every guy in this room is having the same dilemma I am. How do you not stare at her? She's the hottest girl in this room, by far. God, I want to kiss her so bad. (This line was removed by 2021 M) Yes, Sky is 18 now but since she was a minor for most of the story I'm not comfortable! Sorry besties

Before I knew it, my heart was sinking because some guy approached Sky, and she stood up with him. Before I knew it, they were laughing and awkwardly dancing together. This broke my heart again. GOOD MOVE ON QUEEN!! 

As if this prom wasn't bad enough, now I have to see my ex-girlfriend, who I'm still very in love with, dance and have a good time with another man. A man who's probably a much better man than me. well to be fair it is not hard to be a much better man than you bud

I felt like crying, but that something that a grown teacher should never do in front of high-schoolers if they ever want to be respected again. Tears are pretty much off-limits as a high school teacher. Ok I don't think that's really true but go off ig

So I held back my tears as best as I could. God, I miss Sky. Watching her dance and laugh with another man is only making it worse. good

They turned around, and I recognized the man to be Pete Wentz. He's in one of my art classes. Maybe I'll give him detention for "talking" on Monday. YES PETE!!!!!!!!
