Protective Love

Different Class

Me and Bert walk into our Art class, heading towards our seats until we're stopped in our tracks by the teacher. "Bert you are being moved to a different class." The teacher states as he hands the slip of paper with the class room number on to Bert.

"W-what? Why?" Bert narrows his eyes at the teacher.

"Your grades are appalling. You are going down sets." The teacher snaps at Bert then walks off to his desk.

"Ugh, fine." Bert sighs then kisses me on the cheek lightly. "I'll see you next lesson, baby." He tries to smile for me then walks out of the class room.

I sigh when Bert leaves the room. I sit down in my seat and rests my head on my hand, my right cheek resting in my palm.

The second bell then rings and running in the class room is an out of breath Frank. He tugs on his bag and looks down as the jocks laugh at him.

Assholes.

"Hey, idiots leave him alone!" I yell at the jocks.

Frank looks up at me as I yell, he breathes heavily and grips his bag tightly.

One of the jocks walks up to me and pushes me out of my seat. "What did you say, emo?"

"I-I said leave him alone..."

What the fuck am I doing..?

Frank turns around as the jock pushes me, instantly frowning. "H-hey!" He walks up to the jock, still barely breathing.

The jock then turns to Frank. "Shut up shorty!"

Okay, that's it.

I kick the jock in the shin and he groans loudly. "I said leave him alone, asshole!"

Frank looks down once again and continues frowning, biting down on his lower lip.

"I'll see you at lunch, emo." The jock snares at me then walks away.
I sigh and sits back down. "Wanna sit next to me, Frank..?"

Frank looks up at me once again and nods quickly.

Aww cute. Wait, what the fuck am I thinking, I have Bert..

I smile at Frank and taps on the empty stool beside me.

Frank instantly sits next to me, looking at me for a moment before turning away.

Okay, I can't help it, he's adorable!

"U-uh.. I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to push you away. I just don't want Bert to hurt you."

"It's okay.. I understand.." Frank turns back to look at me.

"Thing is though.. I don't know if I'm actually in love with Bert..."

"Really?" Frank says in surprise then he coughs and looks down. "I-I mean, really..?"

"Y-yeah.. I mean the first year I was with him he was so romantic and everything was great. Then I got into a big fight and now for the past two years Bert's been really protective, and I mean like too protective. When we kiss it just doesn't feel right.. As if, he's not the man for me."

"You should break up with him then.. You should tell him you don't feel anything..." Frank explains.

"But I don't want to hurt him.. He loves me with all his heart and I don't want to break it."

Frank lets out a small sigh and looks down.

"A-are you wanting me to break up with Bert so you can hang out with me...?"

"No.. That's not what I'm saying.. I mean it's your business, not mine.."

"Oh.. I'm sorry... I'll stop talking to you then.." Chews on my lower lip and looks away from Frank's direction.

He sighs again and also looks away, his head held down.

"I-Im sorry.." I say quickly. "This is why we can't be friends, Frank.. I'll make you feel miserable."

"It's okay.. It's not your fault." Frank sighs once again then looks up at me.

"It is my fault though.. And I'm really sorry. Do you still wanna be friends?"

"Yeah, whatever..."

"Never mind.. I'll just leave you alone... " I frown and stands up as the bell goes. Frank follows behind me, I then walk out the classroom before turning around to Frank. "I-I.. Never mind." I sigh heavily then runs away, holding onto my bag strap.

Shit.. I really want to tell him he's cute or something but I have Bert.. I'm so confused right now... I don't know what to do.
