"I wanted to be in a band but I ended up here!" Mr. Iero ranted instead of teaching.

I mean technically he was teaching us about his life.

Half of the class was paying attention the other half were in their own worlds.

"Also there's this really hot teacher I talk to all the time and he won't make a goddamn move already!"

I bet I know who he's talking about.

"So you're gay?" A random student asked

"Damn right I am!"

"Cool."

"The principal is coming pretend to be studying from the chemistry books while I pretend to work on my computer!"

That's Mr. Iero for you!

I anxiously waited for Courtney to show up. I don't know why I was so nervous, I just was.

I was the only one at my house, my mom was at work and my brothers were with their friend's.

I've never really known my father. Apparently he left after I was born.

The distinct sound of the doorbell echoed throughout the house. I opened it to see a smiling Courtney.

"Courtney!"

"Shayne!"

—

"You're dead motherfucker!"

"Not if I can help it!"

"Blue shell!"

"Fuck you!"

"I win!" I cheered.

"Cheater!" Courtney pouted.

"Blue shells aren't cheating!"

"I protest!"

"To what?"

"Your victory!"

"I protest to your protest!" I stated.

"Well I-"

I cut her off by tickling her. The sound of her sweet laughter filled my ears and I smiled at the sound.

"S-stop!" She finally choked out through her laughter. I did as she asked, not wanting to hurt her.

We've finished the project, and were now just hanging out.

"Are you hungry?" I asked her.

"Sure," she responded.

I led her into the kitchen. "Are sandwiches okay?"

—

"Bye Court!"

"Goodbye Shayne!"

I closed the black door.

I feel like we made a lot of progress in our friendship if that's the way to put it.

I guess it makes more sense to say we bonded or got closer or whatever.

Around an hour later I was sitting on my bed with my phone. It was 6pm.

I was surprised to see Olivia's contact pop up on my screen. I had it because we've talked a little because of Anthony, but we never really talked.

"Shayne come to the hospital."

"What why?!"

"Just come!"

Fuck I haven't updated in forever
