-REGINA POV-

It's hard getting over an ex, especially when you were with them for 5 years. I wish I could have her back. Milah broke up with me for no reason. I was actually about to propose but she broke my heart the same night. I wish I could have her back but I have to be strong I've already tried, but now she's dating some guy. I'm still too attached to her, even though it's been 8 months. I miss her. I miss her touch. I miss everything, and that's why when one of my students Emma brought up her current situation I felt for her. I know how hard it is to like someone who can't like you back.

-EMMA POV-

I didn't sleep at all last night in fear of having another dream; I don't think I can face Ms. Mills today. I really have no clue why I'm so affected by her being gay. It makes me so uncomfortable. Which is weird because I might be- no I can't it's just one girl that I'm attracted to. It's not like I'm checking every girl I see out.

I looked to my right at ruby's bed; it's about five in the morning right now. She's wearing a white tee shirt and no bra, I tried not to look at her boobs but I couldn't, you can see her nipples through it. How can you not look? It's not because I'm gay it's because there staring at me.

I've noticed how nice ruby's skin was before, it looks soft, it's like she has no blemishes or anything. What the fuck. I looked at the clock again, 5:40. I put my head on the pillow and let out a sigh. I can't be gay (#denial)

"Emma, get up and stop snoring like an animal it's time for breakfast." Ruby said. I don't even remember falling asleep "I'll meet you down there I need to get ready." she rolled her eyes, "fine, but hurry, breakfast is boring without you." Mary-Margret chimed in. "hey!" I laughed. "I'll be down in 15."

I got ready and headed down, "hey." I said as I got down and sat next to Mary-Margret. Ariel passed and I couldn't help but notice how nice her cleavage was today. I stopped myself...again not gay, not gay, and not gay. Throughout the day, I found myself staring at every girl I saw. I need to talk to August he's the only one who can keep a secret in this school, well besides Mary-Margret but I don't want her to feel uncomfortable around me.

"Finally!" I said grabbing August by the shoulders and shoving him into the janitor's closet "I need to talk to you." He turned the light on. "Well obviously." I stood in silence for about five full minutes. "Look, I can't help you if you don't tell me what happened." He said. I don't think I can do it. "I, um… Never mind." He turned to the door and tried to open it. "NO!" I yelled. "Then tell me." I took a deep breath in. "I think I have a crush on Ms. Mills, and I'm really confused and I needed to tell someone before I exploded, also I seem to be checking every attractive girl out today. And I think I might like girls cause I've never liked any guys before, and I'm really scared I might be gay." His expression remained the same. "1) calm down. 2) take a fucking breath in between sentences and 3) who cares if you're gay?" I paused. "I do."

"Well then, I can't help you." He walked out and left me standing alone in the closet. How Ironic.

I wound up skipping Ms. Mills class that day; I spent the whole period in the bathroom sitting on the radiator by the window. Staying in the bathroom was a bad Idea because during break Ms. Mills came in to talk to me, I should have stayed in the custodial closet. "I'm not mad. But can you tell me why you skipped my class." I gulped. She walked closer. "Emma, answer me." I stayed quiet. "Emma, please." I turned to her, I think I should transfer out of your class." She looked extremely hurt. "I'm sorry, it's too late in the year, if you don't mind me asking, why do you want to transfer?" I looked to the floor. "I, I don't know." she cocked her head to the side. "Is it because the person you like is in the room?"

My eyes widened. I got up and walked toward the door. Ms. Mills stood in front of me, blocking the way from getting out. "I can't let you go if you don't tell me where you're going, Emma." I started to cry, "Please just get out of my way. I need to go." I tried to push passed her but I don't want her to get hurt so I'm just standing really close hoping she'll move. "Where do you want to go, I'll walk you." She said. "Just leave me alone please." She stood her ground. "I can't it's against regulation, we'll both get in trouble." I huffed. "FINE, I'm going to my room." She shook her head slightly, "I shouldn't let you do that, but I can see you're having a bad day, so I'll walk you."

I walked fast in front of her making sure I couldn't see her until I got to my room. "Emma, please look at me." I turned to meet her big brown eyes. "Yes?" she didn't answer. She just gave me a hug, and next thing I knew I was crying on her shoulder. "Don't skip my class again please, because next time I'll have to report it." She left me alone in my room, something I know she would get in trouble for, but I won't tell. I just appreciate the fact she did. I fell quickly asleep. "hey Emma." Mary-Margret said as I got up. "Are you okay? It's almost time for dinner, Neal will be there."

I flung out of bed. "He will!" I said, hatching a plan ."Yeah. Like every other meal we have." She giggled. I straightened myself up, and headed down stairs to the dining hall. All the boys were seated at our table; I went up to Neal and kissed him. I felt nothing but I acted like I saw sparks fly. He sat there shocked, "Do you want to be my boyfriend." I stated, notice that I didn't ask, because I need him to say yes to this. "Yeah, I do!" there was something in his eyes that said 'I'm not attracted to you.' But I ignored it. August rolled his eyes at me. "Whoa, Em, that was unexpected." Ruby said. I went to the line to get dinner, and sat next to Neal when I got back.

Maybe being with Neal will take my mind off of Ms. Mills… Just as I thought that she walked by and just 'had' to drop her meal. She bent over to pick it up, and I realized Neal was not going to help. I ran to help her. "Thank you, Emma. Are you feeling better?" she said as we got up, "Not really, but thanks. for, you know… everything today. I really appreciate it." She smiled. "Our little secret, okay." She said so sexily I just can't. My knees actually got weak.

I went back to my table, and sat next to my… Neal. I'm so un-attracted to him, it's actually ridiculous. I just want to punch that beard off his face. I leaned in and whispered "please get rid of the beard." He replied "you first." At first I was offended, and then I realized he knew, but how? I'm gonna kill August.

I laughed nervously. And then didn't say a word the rest of dinner.
