Please Don't Take This Out On Me
Chapter 39: Dead Pigs
He was watching me as I frantically shoved oatmeal into my mouth. I could feel his piercing hazel eyes boring through me as he studied my every move. I wish I could have looked at him but then Mikey would get suspicious and ask me why I was eyeing my rapist. Sigh.
"We have bio next. I heard the older kids are coming in and showing us how to dissect pigs!" Mikey said to me as I half listened half zoned out. "Yeah, yeah that's great - wait WHAT?" I finally turned to Mikey with panic surging through me. "Yep. Doesn't that sound like fun?"
No that did not sound like fun. I did not want to see some poor innocent pig being cut open right in front of my eyes. "Mikes... I'm gonna puke." "You'll be fine, Frankie. Just close your eyes or something."
I sighed and pushed the rest of my oatmeal away. There was no way I could eat now... those poor little piggies. One second free, the next second dead and cut open.
Kind of like my heart.
Once Mikey and I walked into bio class I thought I was going to faint. The room smelled like a pigsty mixed with chemicals and fire. It was not a pleasant smell.
Eyes watering, I covered my mouth and nose with my shirt sleeve and whimpered a bit. Mikey imedietely sensed I needed him and wrapped his arm around my waist so he could steer me over to our lab station.
"M-Mikes I c-can't-"
The smell, the sight of a bucket filled with dead pigs in the corner, and the fact that it was warm as fuck in the room didn't help and I felt like I was going to faint.
"Good afternoon!"
I inwardly groaned as Gerard strutted into the room like a diva. His bright red hair was slightly toussled and it looked like he hadn't taken any time to style it, but his eyes were bright and full of mischief.
"Iero!" he called once he spotted me. I groaned a bit and forced a smile as he made his way through the crowded lab and over to my section. Mikey's arm tightened protectively around me and I gave him a 'its okay' look.
Mikey eventually got steered away by a grade 12 to go dissect his pig. Just. Fucking. Great.
"So, have you ever done this before?" Gerard casually asked as he slid a latex glove over his hand. I gave him a look so nasty Gerard burst into laughter and had to cover his mouth. "Alright, Iero it's okay I'm not a fan of murdering pigs either. I do love bacon though!"
I rolled my eyes and watched in horror as the science teacher, Mrs Costello, opened the bucket of pigs. "Hi everyone!" she called loudly to get the noisy room's attention as she scooped her half red half black hair into a messy bun. The room quited down at once and she grinned. "Alright, so the tools in front of you have labels marked with scotch tape on the sides. Follow the instructions on the lab safety sheet I am about to hand out and then you'll have dissected a pig!"
Mrs Costello paused to grin at us and reach into the bucket to grab a pig. I looked away hurridly and ducked under the table. Maybe Gerard wouldn't find me and I could just chill out here...
Notes
Who understood who I made the science teacher be? ;) I bet like, no one.
Sorry for being away for four weeks holy shit...
Keep it up
