Take a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

Now, close your eyes and say this to yourself seven times. "Let go, let go, let go."

It is entirely possible that he isn't as affected by your breakup as you are. After all, he is the one who broke up with you, which means that he had time to think about it and stress out about it before he actually did it, and once he was done... that was it. For you, however, it was a bolt out of the blue, and now it's your turn to think about it and get stressed.

It's quite normal to be angry about this, okay?

There is also absolutely no reason why you have to be friends afterwards. It doesn't mean you have to be enemies, or to hate him, but... you don't have to pretend like everything is peachy-keen and hunky-dory, oh yay, either. It is perfectly okay for you to avoid him, or to ignore him, or to ask your teacher if you can be moved to a different seat. And if he asks why, you can just say, "Look, I'm trying to get past this, and I think it's best we just don't talk for a while. I'll forgive you in about ten years or so, okay?" Perfectly normal.

And go ahead and have a good cry about it. Play some sad songs. Eat a lot of chocolate, chocolate fixes everything. Hide in your room and indulge in a good, long, three hour sulk. It's part of the grieving process. Put his picture on the wall and throw darts at it. Use a sharpie marker and black out his teeth or give him a unibrow. By the next day, you should be feeling much better.

You're going to get through this, you really, really will.
