Sweetest Taboo (And Then I Met My Teacher)

''What the fuck, Gerard?!?''

I looked behind me to see who was talking to me in such a shocked voice. I saw Mikey standing with a mix of confusion and anger on his face.

''Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?'', he asked. He looked mad. I looked at Sherrie and noticed her usual pink cheeks had turned to white. She now was really pale and looked scared.

''Sherrie are you alright?'', I asked, worried. ''Yes. I just don't like being yelled at'', she said in a shaky voice. ''Well Mikey would you please calm down?'', I snapped. ''Yes, sure, sorry Sherrie'', he said apologetically. ''It's alright Mikey. It's not your fault'', she said. She looked like she was about to have a breakdown or something. ''Alright, let's just all go inside'', I suggested. Mikey nodded, but Sherrie was still frozen. ''Alright Sherrie?'', I asked. ''Oh, yes, sure. Sorry Mr. Way I wasn't paying attention'', she said politely.

I unlocked the door of my classroom and went to my desk. 'She will never call me Gerard. She will never want to hang out at home with Mikey again', I thought. I was still feeling bad for flipping her off like that the night before, but maybe it was for the best. I couldn't develop feelings for one of my students and having her around all the time wouldn't help it, for sure. That was the first time I had feelings like that towards a student, but she was so pretty and looked so fragile.. So hurt.

''Gee, can we borrow your laptop to use Netflix?'', Mikey asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. ''Sure'', I said as I gave it to him. Sherrie smiled at me thankfully. I smiled back, but I knew she was hiding something terrible behind that smile.


SHERRIE'S POV


I was watching ''Scott Pilgrim'' with Mikey when Mr. Way came to sit with us.

''What are you guys watching?'', he asked. ''Scott Pilgrim'', I answered. ''You're into comics?'' ''kind of'', I said blushing. He smiled at me and asked me to follow him, which I did. He opened the drawer of his desk.

I couldn't believe it. There were about 50 comic books in there. Maybe more. I blinked two times to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Even though he had been a bit harsh with me the night before, I thought that man was amazing. He was a nice teacher, he was really cute, he was dressing up amazingly well and he liked comics. Plus, I didn't know why, but he really seemed to care about me today.

''If you ever want to borrow some, just tell me'', he gave me a wide smile. ''You know Mr. Way, you don't have to do that... I mean, if that's because of last night, don't worry, I got over it'', I said, looking down. ''It's not because of last night Sherrie, don't worry.''

Mikey was staring at us confused and I started blushing. ''Well, thank you Mr. Way'' ''Please Sherrie, call me Gerard'', he said. ''Alright, Gerard'', I answered laughing.

He was so nice. He sat next to me and we continued to watch the movie in silence. I looked at the clock a few minutes later and noticed the bell was about to ring.

''I got to go'', I said. ''What's your first class?'', Mikey asked. ''Chemistry, you?'' ''chemistry. Let's go together?'', he suggested. ''Sure! I don't know anyone anyways'', we both laughed. We grabbed our bags, thanked Gerard for his laptop and then left.

Once the chemistry class started, I couldn't stop thinking of Gerard. He was so sweet and nice and cute and ughhh!!! That was so weird, I was almost considering him as a friend.

''Hey! Sherrie!'', somebody whispered.
