Is This Taboo? - Brendon Urie Fanfiction

*Chapter 9*

Brendon's POV

I watched Mia as she took the only vacant seat directly in front of me. If I didn't already have enough trouble concentrating in Maths, the presence of Mia was sure to make it worse. She leaned to the side of her desk, pulling a notepad and her pencil case out of her backpack. Her dress began to ride up on the opposite side to which she was leaning. I couldn't help but stare at her leg as more and more skin was slowly revealed.

Much to my disappointment, the dress shifted back to its original position once Mia was done sorting through her bag. Her dress was nowhere near short enough for my liking, but that was also a good thing as I didn't want too much attention drawn to her.

She truly is beautiful and I bet that half the guys in our school would ask her out in a second, but they didn't deserve Mia, no one here deserves a girl like Mia, especially not me.

I ran my fingers through my hair before straightening up again and attempting to pay attention to Mr Allen. If I wasn't failing Math before, I sure would be now.

Mia's POV

During Maths, I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched. For the first part of the lesson I had a few pairs of eyes on me just because I was an anomaly but once people got used to it, they left me alone. It was the second part of the lesson that caught my attention. It felt like there were little holes being drilled into the back of my head.

At one stage I swear I could feel a sensation coming from behind me so I turned around slightly, only to catch Brendon quickly averting his gaze. This made me blush a little but I shrugged it off and returned to my work.

The bell eventually rang, signifying the end of the period, and beginning of lunch. Unlike the rest of the class, I hadn't packed up 10 minutes early, so I spent a few mintues past the bell filling my school bag. One of the first people to dash out of the classroom was Brendon.

"Not so fast Mr Urie!" Mr Allen called after him.

After a few seconds and a grunt, Brendon returned to the front of the class. They were speaking quietly so I didn't catch the entire conversation but I think I heard something about failing. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and headed out of the classroom, smiling at Mr Allen as I left.

I followed the majority of students as they rushed into the cafeteria where I began my search for my friends. Surprisingly, they were still sitting on the same table that we did two years ago. This made me smile as I walked over towards it.

"Hey guys!" I said cheerily.

"Hey! How has your day been?" Daisy asked.

"It's been good although I ran into a bit of trouble." I replied, my mood altering a bit.

"Oh what's the matter?" Angie asked as she placed her tray down next to me.

"I had completely forgotten about Katrina and she's in my Maths class."

"That sucks" Quin added as they were all familiar with our back story. I guess you aren't though so I may as well fill you in.

Katrina is actually my cousin. She's my mother's estranged sister's daughter. We used to have a lot to do with my Aunt and Katrina until my Grandfather died. He had always promised to split his wealth 50/50 between his two children, my mother and my Aunt, but right before he died, my Aunt had the will changed, leaving my mother with little to nothing.

Although we didn't need the money, the act of betrayal has scarred our family ever since. We stopped seeing them and Katrina began to bully me at school. She would make fun of my intelligence and used her popularity to make my life a living hell.

I was young and naive and her constant taunts and name calling drove me to do some things that I now regret. That's basically the story of my hatred (and fear) towards her and what she could possibly do to me if she sees fit.

I sat with my friends and ate my homemade lunch as they filled me in on local topics and school gossip from the last two years. I sat there thinking to myself how happy I was to be back and surrounded by such great people.
