Flashback:

"Hey, Keith, wake up, you stoner!" I heard a voice above my head.

"Mmm go away Ben," I groaned. The boy sighed and ripped off the covers that were covering me.

Let me explain. After Lance moved, I was really lonely, and met a guy named Ben. He was We became friends from freshman year, and we've gotten... Close. Yeah, that's the word for it.

"C'mon babe, we gotta get to class," He muttered.

"I didn't think you cared about class though," I groaned back.

"Well, my mon found out that I was skipping class, so I gotta go back. Besides, finals week is right around the corner."

"Shit, you're right." I shot up out of bed, fixing my bed/uhh you know... hair. "We gotta go."

"What, you forgot about finals?" Ben snorted. I grunted and shook my head. We both got ready and ran to school.

"Mm- Fuck. Shit," I moaned, breathlessly. "B-Ben, we gotta get to class."

We, as horny teenagers were of course, making out in an abandoned hallway. I need a life.

Ben didn't answer, and instead slowly kissed up my neck.

"Ahh~ Lance," I moaned again. Fuck. I realised what I said and covered my mouth. Ben immediately stopped after he heard what I said. "S-sorry, it just came out. You can continue!" I murmured, deasperate for the touch. He sighed quietly and took his hands out of the hem of my pants and lowered his leg.

"No, I think we should stop. This is the third time we were like this and you thought about this... Lance guy," Ben whispered sadly. "I know I'm not the one for you. I'm sorry."

"W-wait, no-" I felt my eyes welling up with tears. "B-but I... I love you!" I stammered desperately.

"I know, and I did too. Goodbye, Keith." He walked away from me, and I was left in the hallway with my shirt's top unbuttoned and my pants halfway zipped.

Of course that would happen. I have to stop having Lance in my head. He left, and I shouldn't like him anymore. He didn't like me anyways, why should I still like him?

Days later

"Ugh..." I woke up with a sickening painin my head. Ugh, I went drinking again, didn't I...

I have to get out of this slump and start being a good student again. I can't live like this. I ran to the bathroom and threw up my guts into the toilet and groaned. I collapsed on the floor, looking up at the lights.

After a few minutes, I got up and walked over to my desk. It had piles and piles of undone assignments and failed tests. I sucked in a breath, got out my phone and earbuds and played a random song from my music. I sat down and slammed the first assigment down in front of me and started scribbling the answers in madly. Hopefully I'll pass these, although they're all from months ago.
