Who Said It Was Gonna Be Easy?

One day, I went to Jack's classroom at break to see him. I usually went to see him before school but I'd missed the bus and had to walk to school so I was late. When I got to his door I looked through the little window. I stopped in my tracks when I wasn't met with my usual view of Jack sat at his desk. Instead, there were two people in the room and they were kissing.


I worked out that one of the people was rian and whoever he was kissing was pressed up between him and the wall with their hands entwined. I was just about the push open the door to ask if they'd seen Jack when I noticed the other guy was wearing a sky blue shirt. Just like jacks.

Jack was kissing rian.


The first thing that hit me was confusion. Why would jack kiss rian? Why would rian kiss jack? Why, after everything rian has said and done to me, would jack kiss him? Why would he do that to me? Questions flew like a hurricane around my head until suddenly everything clicked. This explained Jack's guilt and weird behaviour. He was cheating on me with rian. He was probably only still dating me out of pity. The next thing that hit me was hurt. Like a blow to the chest, it hit me hard. I felt like I was going to throw up. Or cry. Or both.


So instead, I ran away. I ran away as fast as I could until my vision was blurred with tears and I ran into someone.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I started blubbering at them over and over. Their hands which had steadied me now cupped my face.

"Alex, what's happened? What's wrong?" vics voice said to me softly. Tears spilt over, clearing my vision slightly. He wiped them away carefully, drying my cheeks. I could have told him everything right then. About jack, about rian, even about my parents, everything. But instead I shook my head and said,

"still want a smoking buddy?"
