The Light Behind Your Eyes

*Gerards POV)
Great...another year has started for school, summer's over ( not that I did much ) and one more year and I can finally run away from this hell hole after graduating. But it's still the same crappy school, with the same crappy lessons, the same crappy teachers, the same crappy people and my same crappy attitude. The only good thing about school is that they ' Try to excel in modern arts ' so basically they make us do loads of the arty things like music, drama and art. I guess that's good because I love those lessons, people that don't want to do it ( all the jocks ) just go do their thing, which I think is sport but what do I care?
School has gotten better over the years...in other words I don't have the complete shit beaten out of me everyday, I think the jocks just got bored of me and decided to pick on some other poor kid. One of my favourite lessons is music...which I have 4 times a week, art 3, drama 3. My old music teacher, Miss Newton left last year, pregnant stuff I think,then just decided she didn't want to come back, so I guess the " I'll never give up on you Gerard " stuff is over, so to hell with her.

I strolled into school quite laid back that morning of school meeting my friends in tutor, now i know what you're thinking " friends?! Gerard has friends???" well actually yes I do have some friends ( my brother counts as a friend right?) and we make a cool group of randomers, Ray, Bob, Pete and Mikey are all my best friends, Pete and Mikey are in the year below, Bob just graduated last year and to be honest I haven't spoken to him in a while so i'll just make a mental note to text him soon, Ray was in my year, and class, so we sat together in everything while he made notes and I just doodled. Ray was a very accepting dude, he accepted that I was gay and he was the first to know, apart from Mikey.

Now our first lesson was music....great...appartently I'm good at music, I mean yeah..I sing in the shower but i never really thought anything of it until Ray recorded my singing in the shower and now almost everyone has seen it....thanks mate...and they all try and make me sing. I haven't mentioned that Ray is WICKED at the guitar, like super super good at it, if there was something called a guitargasm listening to him play it would definately give you one.

We got settled in our seats and then the new teacher walked in. I wasn't particularly looking forwards to having a new teacher but wow...I was quite happy with this teacher although I didn't think i'd get any work done with him here. All the girls in the room made tiny gasping noises when they saw him which slightly pissed me off but I saw him smirk at it. The man was quite short, but in a cute way, and he didn't seem that much older than me. He had big brown eyes which caught the light in them, I tried not to stare too much but I noticed on his neck he had a scorpian tattoo poking out from his white shirt, his black hair was perfectly shaped in a side sweep with only a bit of his fringe in his face.
" Alright class, my name Mr Iero, I will be teaching you music this year " His voice boomed around the room in his angelic tone.
" Fuck " I said no louder than what I thought was a whisper, Mr Iero coughed in my direction.
" Excuse me, is there a problem? Mr.."
" Way, Gerard Way " I said almost too fast gleaming up at him in awe.
" Well Mr Way I do not appreciate bad language in my lessons" Shit...I've already made him mad.
" S-sorry Sir " I decided it was best to keep my head down, Mr Iero was rubbing his tattoo softly.
" That is quite alright, yes madam?" A girl in my class had her hand up...Lucy, she was so fucking annoying, flirts with everyone, even me sometimes even though I've told her i'm gay on mutiple occasions.
" Aren't you a bit young to be a teacher?" She bit her lip waiting for his answer, that was pissing me off, i felt like I had some claim on him, I don't know why.
" I have just got my degree in music and was offered a job here so yes I might be slightly younger than what you're used to " He chuckled in response, well that's just great, all the girls were swooning over him and it look as though he knew it.

Through the lesson he was talking to us about assessments or something that's due next week, I just kept staring at him, memorising the way he talked, the way he moved and how he responded with certain things, I noticed as he was explaining something he bit his lip while looking at me...oh fuck...that turned me on..he even had a lip ring which made it even more sexy, he was rubbing up his thigh as well, inching closer up to the bump in his trousers, Gerard stop it, he's your teacher.

The bell finally rang to my relief so I could get out before I had a complete crush on this man, as I was leaving I heard his loud voice.
" Mr Way, can you stay behind for a minute?" I gave Ray a nod signally for him to go on, I honestly just wanted to get as far away from this guy as possible because i'd end up broken hearted by the end.

" What did you want Sir?" He was sorting out some files on his desk not really properly engaging in our conversation for another minuet.
" Hmm?" If I could have chosen to be swallowed up in a hole at any point now would be the time.
" You wanted to see me?"
" Oh yes, is there something bothering you? You seemed a little distracted in class today and you kept looking at me" He smirked....he fucking smirked...was he enjoying this or something?
" Oh no...I-I just have a lot on my m-mind t-that's all " Smooth Gerard...real smooth.
" Gerard, I can call you Gerard can't I?" I nodded in approval before he carried on.
" I care a lot about my students and you can talk to me at any time, I care about you a lot " He said in a very sincere way looking into my eyes, who the fuck does he think he is? I have once lesson with him and he thinks he can care about me already? Well who am I to judge?
" Yes t-t-thank you " I turned around quickly trying to hurry when he slapped my ass softly, what the actual fuck was going on? Did I imagine that? I tuned back quickly to see him almost choking on the air and turning red.
" errrrr, s-sorry, now off you go Gerard " Did he really just do that? Slap my ass than pretend it never happened?

I ran quickly out of the room, tear falling down my face, why was I even crying? I hadn't done anything wrong. Oh wait I forgot, it's because i'm so unloveable and pathetic that I have a crush on my teacher. I shut myself in a toilet cubicle and just cried...I didn't care how late I was to my next lesson, I just wanted to be swallowed up by a blackhole and forgotten about, I though I could at least text Ray to let him know where I am, he'd understand.

To Ray:
(10:27am)
Having some issues, I don't feel to good so probably won't be in class, sorry buddy.

I almost immediatly got a reply.

From Ray
(10:28am)
No problem buddy, hope you sort yourself out, things get bad you know you can call me :)

This is what I liked about Ray so much, he was so kind and understanding about me. For another hour I just sat in the toilets crying, crying my heart out.
