Sera laced her fingers together with Aarya's and walked towards the door of the library. Taking a deep breath Sera stepped beyond the threshold of the library. She could feel them staring again, but now she was ok. Aarya was there. One guy stopped walking in front of them to taunt them. Aarya just gripped Sera's hand tighter and pulled her along before she could have a panic attack. They continued walking until they arrived at their English classroom and stepped inside.
The teacher frowned at them when she noticed that their hands were linked together. She scowled as they took their seats next to each other and began to take out their books and writing utensils. She watched as Aarya took out a piece of paper and began scribbling on it with gusto. The bell rang and she stood up, facing her students and told them to begin reading their assigned books. Sera took out her book, but Aarya did not, she continued to scribble furiously on that piece of paper. Sera stole a side glance at Aarya, she was beautiful and fearless. It was then that the teacher, Mrs. Fay, walked over to Aarya and stood over her a moment before snatching the paper off of her desk.
"What's this?" She snarled. Aarya just looked up at her calmly. "Arrogant, eh? How about we read it aloud then!" Aarya just continued to stare at her, no emotion on her face at all.
"My dearest Sera," Mrs. Fay paused to send a glare towards Aarya and a nasty smile to Sera. "Do not be afraid, I will always be here with you, I will always be there to hold you, to hide you, to comfort you and ease your pain. I wanted you to know that I love you, even if I must go away for a while. I will always love you. Always. Please bear this in mind once break comes. Keep this letter with you and read it when you become lonely or miss me. I will always have my cell phone on so you can always call me, you know I love when you do. I will miss you terribly when I am in Greece, and I plan to kiss you senseless once I return. Look forward to that, Love, as I will. I love you. Love, your Aarya."
By that point in time Mrs. Fay was shaking in suppressed rage which was soon to break free. She turned away for a moment before spinning back around and began screaming at Aarya.
"How dare you write this?! This is an outrage! How dare you bring your, your abnormality into my class!" She turned to Sera who was already shaking from fright. "And you! You freak! You monster! You dyke! How dare you bring your impurity and try to corrupt other's minds?" She raged.
"Excuse me, but look at who's talking! Leave her alone and take a look in the mirror! You are just spreading your hate, corrupting our classmate's minds to your lies! Look at Sera!" By now Mrs. Fay was looking at Aarya with angry eyes. "Look at her! Look what you've done to her!" Sera sat there shaking with tears running down her cheeks. She was hyperventilating. "You've made her have a panic attack! Look who's the monster! What's wrong with being in love? What's wrong with you Mrs. Fay? What's wrong with you?"
Aarya turned on her heel, leaving Mrs. Fay standing there with her mouth hanging open as she went to Sera. Aarya took Sera's hand and helped her to stand up. She marched them past Mrs. Fay, grabbing her letter from her on the way out. On a second thought she turned around to her classmates.
"You all saw what happened here today. You've seen what hate can do to people on both ends. Make your choice: will you hate or will you support? Let your heart guide you, and never forget what you witnessed today," Aarya then turned and walked out, everyone in the room staring at them and thinking about one thing: how could this happen?
