Everything Will Be Ok

***Gerard's POV***

I reach for my keys in my pocket to open the classroom door. As I walk into my small class, I set down all my ungraded papers and my coffee onto my desk. I glance over at my watch. Ok, I have an hour till school starts, so I guess that's enough time to finish grading all those projects.

To be honest I absolutely hate my job. I don't even understand why I became a high school teacher when I despise teenagers. They're rude, disrespectful, and loud. And I have to spend 7 hours a day with them. The only good thing about it is that it pays the bills.

My life-long dream was to become a famous comic book artist. But let's be real here, that will never happen.

I feel my phone vibrate as I slip it out of my back pocket. I opened it to my lock screen to see that I had 3 notifications.

"You have 3 new singles in your area that are interested in you."

Ugh, it's just that one dating website that I signed up for last week. Ok, I know what you’re thinking. How pathetic it is to date people that you just meet online. Well you don't understand, I'm just too busy with my job right now and I’ve been really lonely lately.

About an hour passes by and the bell for first period rings. I pile up all the graded artwork and open the door for the students to come in. “Good morning class. Please take your seats.” The kids continue to chat while they throw their backpacks beside their desks. “Did you finish grading our projects from last week Mr. Way?” Ray asks. “Yes. But you will all receive them by the end of class. But for now I want you all to sketch something you did over the weekend. Oh and please Ray, call me Gerard, not Mr. Way because it makes me feel old.”The students begin working on their assignments as I walk back to my desk and reply to all my staff emails.

The bell finally signals for the end of the first period.”Ok, now don’t forget to do your homework assignment tonight.”I say as they all rush out the door to their next class. I take a sip of my coffee and shiver from the horrible, now cold, bitter liquid. Well I have four minutes till my next class starts so I guess I have enough time to get another coffee from the teacher’s lounge.

I quickly fast walk to the teacher’s lounge since I’m running out of time, when a girl with jet black hair in a band tee runs into me, causing me to spill my coffee all over my shirt. “This is my new shirt!” I yell.”Oh my god I am so sorry! I didn’t mean to…”I look up at her and suddenly all the anger I once had left me.”Oh umm don’t worry about it. It’s ok.”I can feel my cheeks getting hot. She was so damn beautiful.”Well I’m really sorry about your shirt but I got to get to class. “She says as she walks off. God I have never felt so embarrassed.
