Gerard sat in his desk, flipping his pencil in his fingers until it flew off and then starting again. He was worried about Frank. When he walked away without a word, it was because there were too many to say. The teacher was at the computer, probably doing nothing, and no one in the class was doing much of anything so he pulled out a notebook and ripped out the used pages, balled them up and threw them away. Picking up the pencil from the floor again, he wrote;
'I'm sorry I don't tell you anything. I'm sorry I don't fill you in on my life anymore and that I didn't tell you about Lynz. There was nothing to say at first but now there's a lot and I wish I could have told you right away but I couldn't. I don't want to hurt you, ever; I'm never going to leave. I don't want to leave your side or your life, and I won't disappear like all of the other people in your life. I know you really well and I think you should know a lot more about me than I've let you. First of all, you're wrong. I love you. The only reason we aren't together is because I don't want us to get made fun of and also I've never had a girlfriend and neither do you so I think we need to know if we're even like that. Third, well, this is the hard one because it's going to hurt. Me and Lynz are going to date. Actually, we kind of are dating, I mean we did some things and so I guess we are, but I don't know and I think me and her will be happy and I just want you to be happy too. So I guess that's it. Please don't burn this.'
He ripped out the paper and folded it up, then slid it into his pocket. The bell rang and he shoved his way into the hall way, looking for Lynz. She ran up to him and jumped into his arms, kissing him. Gerard shut his eyes and stuck his hand in his pocket, touching the note. His hand tingled at the familiar feeling, it was just like the notes they would pass all through their classes together. She finally let go, looking up and smiling. They looked into each other's eyes for a while without saying anything before they said goodbye and walked to their next class.
