For quite a time there was just silence in the room. The only sound that was filling the room was Ivy’s sniffles and Ryan’s urgent breaths. No one dared to speak a word after what I just said. I sneaked a glance at Lyla and she paused a smile to me with a thumbs up. I smiled back at her and then looked down where Ryan’s hands were resting. I grabbed his hand and entwined our fingers. “I can do one thing for you.” The silence was broken by Ivy. “I can delete all the pictures but in return you have to burn all the proofs you have against me.” She made a deal but Ryan wasn’t going to let her have that. I knew it before he opened his mouth to speak. “Oh no no no… you don’t get to play the good guy now. You’ve already did what you wanted to do. I’ve called you here to warn you to no do anything further because it can get you in trouble. You can have all the pictures you want but I’m not letting you have anything I have against you. Don’t test me again because I wo

Four days had been gone by since we got exposed to the teacher faculty of the school and not a day went by when I wasn’t held back by a teacher to be blessed with a lecture of how I shouldn’t stay quiet. I was full to the brim and I had decided that one more teacher and I would go straight to Mr Dunkin and will punch him in the face for telling them about what happened between Ryan and I. Ryan, well, I hadn’t talked to him in these days and he didn’t bother me as well. We both knew there was nothing wrong with our relationship and nothing would happen if we don’t talk for few days. We just needed some days to recollect ourselves for each other. He needed to sort out his mind and I needed to sort out mine. Mum’s anger was now settled down and she was cool about me seeing Ryan. She even called Ryan to say ‘thank you’ to him for having my back. She even apologized to him for whatever she said to him or behind his back to me. I knew it was just anger and once she

As soon as I left his office, my first reaction was to let out a loud and deep breath and say “OH MY FUCKING GOD!” because I couldn’t believe it happened. It was out. Who cared what would’ve happened next. It was out there. Our relationship was out there and the joy it gave me. I knew Mr Dunkin. I knew he wouldn’t rusticate me or suspend me. I knew he wouldn’t even say anything to Ryan as well because he looked so relieved that none of his school teacher went as low as to harass a kid for his own sexual needs or whatnot. If we had been upfront about the whole thing from the start then there’s a good chance we could’ve gotten the worse reaction and the law would get involved but now I was pretty sure nothing like that would happen because he looked pretty pleased with the true story because it wasn’t disturbing and disgusting. Plus now Ryan was fired and the fact that Ryan was resigning was enough because that meant he didn’t want to continue the illegal relat

Two weeks had gone by since I told the truth to the principal. Everything was going back to normal. Teachers had stopped giving me lectures. Though their strange looks always searched for me in the class and now whenever they stared at me, they had a distinctive look in them. Mr Dunkin met Ryan and wasn’t very happy about what had happened but as I thought, he didn’t take any legal action because he was relieved that it wasn’t something like what Ryan had told him earlier. Harassment case from a school would have destroyed school’s reputation way worse than a simple love affair between a teacher and student. Everything was going just fine. Mateo had called me once Jessica told him what had happened at the school. He was worried but I assured him that everything was settled. He was happy that Ryan had resigned and now I could have somewhat normal version of our relationship. I also told him that Ryan wanted my family to meet his family. Just so they could get

Ryan’s interview got published in yesterday’s Sunday magazine and I had literally turned off my phone since then. I totally forgot that it was going to publish yesterday and when I received a call from Mateo saying he read the interview, I was totally blank as to what he was speaking. Few seconds later I understood and right after hanging up the call with Mateo, I switched off my phone. I hadn’t read the interview yet, I still had to go and buy that magazine which was making me making me more nervous. What if I bump into someone from the school in there? Though it wasn’t the question now as today I had to go to the school. I called Jessica to pick me up from the house because I wanted to read what Ryan said about me before going to school. I wanted to be prepared in case I had to show give someone piece of my mind. “You alright, baby bro?” I snapped my head at Eva who just entered the living room in her PJs as I was waiting for Jessica to arrive. She
