Gerard, Me and Mikey
Chapter 1
Halfway through the class, that seem to never end, I felt someone tap my shoulder. I looked up from my work and looked at him. There was a really awkward silence for a few seconds.
“Umm, hi. Do you mind telling me if I missed anything important?”
“No, not really. We just started when you came. And besides it’s the first day of class”
This conversation was so awkward and uncomfortable .
“Right...I’m Michael by the way, but you can call me Mike” he said smiling.
“Ok, I’m Nicole” I said smiling back.
We must have looked like complete fools staring at each other and smiling like that. But then the bell rang and everyone started living the class, leaving us behind.
“So, what do you have now?” he asked while grabbing his stuff and standing up.
“Um, History I think” I said as I tried to remember the schedule I look at a while a ago.
“That sucks, I have physics”
“Yeah, it does suck. I don’t know anyone else here”
“But what do you have after that?”
“Music” I remembered that one because it was one of my favorites classes.
“Cool, me too”
He smiled as he said that, which made me smile too.
“Yeah, ok so I guess I’ll see you in music class” I said as I grabbed my stuff and we both headed to the hall.
The bell rang again and we both headed to our classes.
I did have history, so I guess my memory isn’t that bad. But is was boring as hell.
I wanted this class to end so that I could have music with Mike. Wow, way to sound desperate. But I can’t help it, I actually talked to someone and I don’t know anyone else here, and I really don’t want to be alone. Besides he seems like a really nice guy.
History class sure went by slow. I couldn’t help but smile when the bell finally rang, so I quickly headed to my locker to get the stuff I needed for my next class.
Just as I was closing my locker door, I saw Mike walked my way.
“So we have music class now” he said smiling
“Um, yeah we do. Why are you smiling so much?”
“It’s just that it’s one of my faves. Well was at least last year, I’m hoping it will be this year too.”
“Yeah, it was one of my faves to” I agreed
The bell rang again and he led the way since he apparently knew where the music room was.
We sat next to each other as soon as we got there. The teacher introduced herself to the class and we had to do the same thing. After she got to know our names. She let us talk quietly while she went to the bathroom.
“So what’s your favorite band” Mike asked me as soon as the teacher left.
“Umm, that’s a hard one. I have too many”
“Well, then tell me some of them”
“Ok, well I love Green Day, Paramore, Panic at the Disco, the Black Veil Brides and 30 Seconds to Mars. What about you?”
“I love Black Veil Brides and Green Day too.”
“Really?! What’s your fave song by them?”
“I can’t choose, I love them all”
“So do I. It’s really hard to choose”
“I can’t wait for Green Day to come here next week!” he said sounding way too excited. The whole class turned to look at us.
Mike looked so embarrassed.
“Umm, hi. Do you mind telling me if I missed anything important?”
“No, not really. We just started when you came. And besides it’s the first day of class”
