I Wash My Hands Of Yesterday

Frank’s Point Of View


I stumbled out of bed; wincing due to the harsh beating I had endured. It wasn’t the worst, but it was quite severe.

I threw my clothes on absent-mindedly, attempting to distract myself by thinking about going to Andy’s today.

The house was silent meaning my parents had left for work, I sighed in relief.

I took my seat in homeroom waiting for Andy and Bob to arrive; they walked through the door laughing about something.

“Hey dude” Bob greeted.

“Hey man, hey Andy” I greeted back.

Andy gave a small nod in return.

“Hey, what where you guys laughing about?” I questioned curiously.

“You will never believe what happened, we were walking down the hall when we heard like these muffled noises and we went to investigate, we ended up in Mr Way’s office.” Bob paused, motioning Andy to continue, which he did.

“He was tied to his chair; his tie over his mouth, while Courtney was giving him a lap dance, the poor guy looked fuckin’ terrified. At first we thought he was like some sick perv getting off on some kid dancing, but then we noticed how ‘flat’ he was and realised he wasn’t enjoying one second of it. We untied him after Courtney left.” Andy chuckled.

I found myself laughing too, more so at Courtney’s desperate ways. When Mr Way walked in late looking awfully embarrassed Bob and Andy began snickering, he turned even more red and looked as if he was gonna...cry?

He walked out of the classroom muttering something about textbooks. I stood up from my seat and followed him out.

As I opened the door I found Mr Way leaning against the wall, looking defeated and frustrated.

“Hey, um sir, are you okay?” I asked tentatively.

He looked up slightly shocked.

He cleared his throat, “I’m fine, uhh, something happened that’s all” he murmured.
“Bob and Andy told me, don’t worry though, they won’t tell anyone else” I whispered.
What happened next was…unexpected.

He launches himself onto me and began crying. I can’t say it wasn’t awkward; I began stiffly stoking his back in attempt to calm him down.

Once he managed to collect himself, he apologised and explained he was in a bad mood already and what happened upset him especially when the pair began to laugh at him.

“Sir, it’s cool, we all have our off days” I grinned light-heartedly.

He chuckled lowly. “I guess”

“Well we better go back in” he noted.

“Sure” I smiled.
