Yes, Mr. Way

4

My mom soon came and woke me up,
'Frankie, ive been shouting you for ages' She said, sounding slightly angry,
's-sorry' I stutter, hauling myself up,
'Frankie, whats the matter?' She asks,
My fucking teacher kissed me...
'Nothing' I mutter,
'Im just tired' I add, Of course im not going to tell her that Mr. Way had kissed me, that would be a stupid idea.
'Are you sure?' She asked, folding her arms, and glaring at me,
'Yeah' I mutter. She walks out closing the door quietly behind her. I lay back down on my bed, staring at the cieling, fiddleing with the strings on my hoodie. My mom suddenly comes back in, startleing me a little. She places a plate of food beside me,
'Its there if you want it' she says, walking back out the room.
I look at the plate, piled high with food, im not hungry so i turn on my side to face the wall, staring at it blankly, studying the patterns in the black paint. I sigh, getting out my laptop and switching it on, i notice a few messages from Mikey,

Mikey: Hey
Mikey: Frank??
Mikey: U there?

I read the messages and reply,

Me: Yeah im fine

It takes a while for him to reply, but then he does,

Mikey: Good, you took a while to reply, unlike you
Me: Oh sorry
Mikey: Its fine
Mikey, hey, mind if i come over for a bit?
Me: Sure
Mikey: Okay, see you in a bit

After that last message i close my laptop and put it away, waiting for Mikey to grace me with his presence, im not im much of a mood today after what happened, but i guess he will help me take my mind off things for a while. I wait about 20 minutes or so when my mom calls from downstairs,
'Mikeys here' she shouts, She likes Mikey, more than shes liked any other of my friends, well, ex friends. I hear him walk up the stairs and knock on my door,
'Come in' I shout, sitting up,
He opens the door and walks in,
'Hey Frank' He smiles, sitting next to me,
'Hey' I say, trying not to look too annoyed or down...
'You dont mind me being here, do you?' he asks,
'No its fine' I say, looking at him, he reminds me of Mr. Way a little, well they are brothers.
'Great, so what you wanna do?' he asks, nudgeing me with his elbow,
'Uhm, Xbox?' I suggest, standing up,
'Yeah im down with that' He says.

I grab two controllers and pass him one, i put on call of duty and we play for a while, fighting and arguing when we came to disagreements. Then Mikey comes out with something that shocks me a little,
'I went to my brothers place earlier, He doesant shut up about you' he says,
'Oh yeah' I mutter, this could be either good or bad.
'Yeah, i swear he likes you' Mikey laughs,
'Ha ha very funny, you suck at jokes Mike' I say, pressing frantically at the Xbox controller,
'Im serious Frank' He giggles, poking me on the shoulder,
'FUCK' i shout, launching the controller across the room,
'fucking game' I snarl, turning the stupid Xbox off.
I slump back and lean against the bed, fiddleing with my hoodie strings again, Mikey carries on with his bullshit,
'As i was saying, i swear he likes you' He says, kicking me with his foot a little, trying to get my attention,
'Great joke Mikey' I say, kicking him back.
'Hmmm' Mikey mutters, raising an eyebrow at me,
We sit there in silence for a while, until i throw an empty cola can at him, to make it less awkward.
'Dick' He snaps, wiping the coke residue off his top,
I just laugh at him, which makes him laugh. Then he throws it back...
'Hey' I shout,
'That was supposed to be payback' I say, standing up and putting the can in the trash.
'What for?' He asks, trying to trip me over.
'For kicking me' I laugh and sit down on my bed.
Mikey gives me a funny look and then checks the time,
'I better go Frankie' He smiles.

I wave as he walks out the door, then i close it behind him, my mind now thinking about what he'd said, about Mr. Way...He must be right, especially after what happened at school. Shit. I run back up to my room and throw myself on the bed stuffing my face into my pillow. What if Mr. Way tries to do something to me again? Do i go along with it or just tell him?, I don't know. I have feelings for him, but he's a teacher and it would be wrong. Fuck, what have I been dragged into?
