We're All Full Of Lies

I shifted a little fixing up my shirt after Frank’s little outburst. I looked up at the clock, 3:35pm. Damn. 25 minutes to go. I couldn’t sit still and kept shuffling, all my thoughts were a mix between wanting to attack Mr Way and wipe the smug smile off his face and freaking out about Mikey’s welfare. I suppose at least if I’m here with Mr Way I know Mikey is safe.

“Right you two” Mr Way’s voice jolted me and Frank’s head shot up from the table, “What is going on? All the two of you have done is whisper and then shuffle around, it’s very distracting not to mention increasingly annoying”
“Just itching to get out of this damned classroom and let the weekend begin” I chimed a smile plastered on my face, as he made his way toward us.
“I’m sorry you’re not enjoying your punishment” He said sarcastically and leant against the desk in front of us.
“I’m pretty sure we’ve been through this, but this punishment was a little heavy handed, I mean come on, it was my first day, it’s not my fault no one in this stupid school would help me out and tell me where to go” I stated folding my arms across my chest.
“And I’m pretty sure I said that you guys could do whatever you wanted whilst here, it’s not my fault you’ve decided to sulk and complain” He retorted smiling smugly.
“Okay you two, I think you’d better stop before this goes any further and turns into a ‘heated discussion’” Frank said using his fingers to put air quotations around ‘heated discussion’.
“Frankie’s right, truce?” Mr Way held out a hand towards me.
I shook it reluctantly before whipping my hand away, “Hold on a minute” I looked between Frank and Mr Way, “Frankie?”

Franks cheeks fired up and Mr Way’s eyes were blown wide with realization as to what he had just said. Caught red handed, the pair of them. Not that Frank hadn’t practically admitted it beforehand. I started laughing uncontrollably and nearly fell off my seat while holding my stomach. I had to wipe away the tears that had begun to roll down my cheeks while trying to regain my composure. Frank and Mr Way hadn’t moved, they just sat shifting their gaze from one another and then to me over and over again.

“Do I still have to tell you later, or have you got the idea?” Frank said looking sheepishly at me.
“Frank may I remind you that not only are you underage but he’s a god damn-“ I was cut off
“Don’t!” Frank said frantically, “You don’t know that for sure”
“Don’t know what for sure?” Mr Way leaned forward on mine and Frank’s desk, he looked pretty pissed to say the least.
Frank looked at me pleading not to say anything, I don’t know why, he was a killer, a cold hearted murderer.
I let out a hefty groan before speaking. “I’m pretty sure I do know for sure what he is” I began looking directly at Mr Way, “He’s a teacher” I finished off my smile with a grin.
I immediately felt Frank loosen up next to me. I wasn’t going to accuse Mr Way of murder, Frank was right I didn’t know for sure, although I was pretty confident with the conclusion I had drawn. Mr Way relaxed a little, his facial features not so tense, and he took a step back from our desks.
“Okay, so he’s my teacher, but I’ll be eighteen in like two months then everything will be legal” Frank smiled up at Mr Way.
“You’ll still be his student, you’re sick you know that, dating a student, that some messed up shit Sir” I said leaning back in my chair taking in the whole situation, “Oh and Frank we are still having the conversation later, you have a bit more explaining to do”
“Mira! He’s not sick, he’s only a few years older than me anyways” Frank looked a little shocked and pissed at my choice of words.

I raised my hands up feigning innocence “Okay, okay, sorry, so you’re not sick, but still it’s just fucking weird, teacher dating students, its wrong and I should despise you for it but who am I to stand in the way of love”.
I was internally strangling Frank even though my little speech had been quite convincing. Frank was dating our teacher, who was also a murderer. If Mr Way puts a hand on him I’ll make it my mission to destroy that cute little pixie nose of his.

After sitting in an awkward silence staring at the ceiling while Mr Way and Frank whispered quietly to each other on the other side of the room so I wouldn’t hear I let out a rather obnoxious snort/laugh. The pair looked at me like I was crazy and to be fair it probably sounded like I was.

“You know I was just thinking, you gave me a detention for being late to class and yet you’re dating a student so that is like 10 times worse than me and” I stood and gathered my shoulder bag and sketch book, “I’m gonna let myself leave early considering its Friday and you’re a hypocrite, come on Frank, seeya on Monday Mr Way” I smiled and grabbed Franks wrist before exiting the classroom leaving Mr Way a little dumbfounded.

Frank continued to object to my leaving and dragging him with me until we made it out of the glass doors and was hit with a burst of coldness from the outside air.
“That was kinda rude Mira” He pouted a little and crossed his arms as we walked together along the sidewalk making our way to Mikey’s.
“Don’t even start with me Frank, you’re dating our god damn teacher who is the prime suspect in a freaking murder” I snapped back.
“YOU DON’T KNOW THAT!” He yelled back.
“For fucks sake Frank, open your eyes! The paintings? There pretty good indicators that he did it!” I retorted.

Frank sniffed and stopped walking after my comment. Oh shit now I’ve done it. His bottom lip began to tremble as did the rest of his body and tears began to gush from his eyes and roll down his cheeks. I immediately felt a pang of guilt rush through my body.

I extended my arms and wrapped them around his small shaking frame, “I’m sorry Frank, I’m just scared he’ll hurt you, you’re one of the best friends I’ve had in a long time, I don’t want to lose you” I smiled down at him using the pad of my thumb to wipe away his still warm tears.

“So-sorry, I just, I-I really like him, more than I should, he-he just seems too good to be true, I’d be shattered if he was actually a killer” Frank stammered and tripped over his words as he tried to hold back more tears.

“How about we just go to Mikey’s and chill out with chocolate and movies? It’ll take your mind off Mr Way and everything will be awesome?” I let a huge smile overtake my face and it seemed to infect Frank because soon enough he was smiling too.
“Thanks Mira, come on lets go” He laughed taking my hand and running down the sidewalk.
