The One That Got Away
Chapter 1
Frank’s P.O.V
I was awoken by my mom yelling at me, “FRANKLIN ANTHONY IERO JR. if you aren’t down here in 10 minutes I’m going to drag you out of bed by your hair. Do you understand me?”
“Yes mom.” I grunted, before getting out of bed and taking a quick cold shower. I sat on my bed wrapped in my towel staring into my closet and mentally picking out my clothes. I knew it was a very girly thing to do but it was the first time that I was going to a school that didn’t require a uniform, that and I wanted to look good on my first day of school.
“FRANK IERO!! You have 5 minutes to get down here.” Hollered my mom. So I decided that I would wear my Misfits t-shirt with my black skinny jeans and my worn out Converse along with my hot pink studded belt. On my way down the stairs I stopped at the mirror and slipped in my lip ring the continued walking down the stairs only to see that my infuriated mother had already left for the car. It was too late for me to eat breakfast so I just picked up a waffle and walked out to the car were my mom was waiting for me. My mom drove me to school dropped me off in the front told me to have a good day and drove off. I walked onto the school grounds; it wasn’t long before I noticed that I wasn’t going to fit in. I looked at the parking lot it was full of prissy rich people cars, Mercedes, BMW’s and Range Rover’s.
“Great it’s just like Catholic school.” I grumbled as I walked in. it didn’t take long for me to find the office. I walked straight to the receptionist and told her my name.
“Oh yes Mr. Iero we have been waiting for you.” She said as handed me my schedule.
“Really?” I replied sarcastically.
“Yes!” She replied with even more enthusiasm than before, “It is a rule for the principal to meet with our new transfer students. So if you could just wait here and he’ll be out soon.”
“Okay.” I mumbled as I walked over to sit in the uncomfortable looking blue chair. The office was very plain with pale looking walls and a small hallway leading to the principal’s office I guessed. Since this looked like it was going to take longer than I anticipated it would I started looking at my schedule. I had math first period that’s a good start right? Just as I was about to get lost in my thoughts the lady called my name, wrong as usual, I didn’t correct her since I promised myself that this was the first and last time that I would set foot in THIS office and people saying my name wrong was the story of my life. Once again the lady calling my name interrupted my thoughts.
On my way to the principals office I saw a tallish girl about 5’ 7”, she had dark brown hair and light brown eyes. She was sorting what looked like mail. I quickly noticed that I had stopped walking just to look at her and apparently so did she.
“Hey’, she said as she looked up to look at me, ‘you’re the new kid, Frank right?”
New kid that was a term all too familiar to me, “Yeah” I replied.
“Awesome. Well I’ll see you around Frank.”
