Chapter 19

Gerard's pov

I stood at the back of the catholic school smoking. I looked down at converse.

I was troubled. Now that I've killed the original priest, people are starting to get suspicious as to we're he is. Considering he didn't turn up to franks church meeting thing, he's not showing up to teach the religious classes at the school; but who is there to teach the classes? Me. And where does that put me? Right on the radar.

No one knows where Mr.Ross is, but it would seem that the last person to get in contact with him is me, the guy who claimed to be asked to fill in for his classes.

I figured I needed to keep away from the school now and hopefully they'd forget who I am and who I was. Because if anyone happens to find our what happened to 'father Ross', they'd all turn to me to question.

So I need to disappear completely from anything catholic and go back as that random black haired emo kid that no one knows.

It should be easy enough to slink away from everyone's memories, such as the students and teachers of the school. And if they do happen to try and contact me I didn't give them my real name or real phone number. So it will all be okay.

The only person that would really know anything is frank, but he seems not to push his questions to far; if I don't answer something he just realised I'm not going to talk about it then he leaves it.

I inhaled as much as I could out of my cigarette, letting the smoke slowly flow out from my mouth as I got lost in thought as to how I'd stay out off the suspicion list for Mr.ross's murder.

I'm not stupid, I know someone people will eventually find out. I'm sure many people have already attempted to visit Ross's home already. People are wondering we're he is and all I need to do is make sure I'm not in the picture. I can do that.

For the meantime, I'm just going to hang around at the back of the school and wait for frank.
I told him I was going to be teaching today but after staying up late last night and pondering over wether or not it would be a good idea to make an appearance at the school, I decided it was a bad idea due to the reasons listed above.

It was currently lunch time at the school. I had nothing else to do really besides wait outside the school and wait. It didn't bother me, there was a coffee shop over the road, and i enjoyed my own company most of the time so I didn't feel bored and alone.

Me and frank had organised to meet at the back of the school. Apparently he normally hangs out here. Maybe he'd come here to eat lunch and we could chat.

But he didn't come, the school bell rang signalling that the lunch break was over. I decided I'd just go over the street and get a coffee or something to fill the time. But as I was about to leave I heard footsteps. They were walking quickly and pretty soon frank turned the corner.

A smile spread across my face immediately as I saw him.

He hurried over to me looking annoyed. My smile fell. what was wrong?

"Let's go." He said as he grabbed my arm and tried to get me to walk with him away from the school.

"Wait, what's wrong frank? School isn't even finished yet." I said as I stood still. He turned around as if I had just offended him by not following him on his little mission to get away from the school.

"I know schools not finished." He said as if I was stupid. "I'm skipping the rest of it." He stated in a serious tone and turned to walk away again.

something was obviously wrong.
I moved to him quickly and put my hand on the top part of his arm gently. "Frank what's wrong?" I asked again.

"Nothing." He mumbled. "Can we just go."
