you're never gonna fit in much,kid (pikey)
chapter 2
We walked home,him leading the way,and me walking at least 7 paces behind him. He only lived about 10 minutes away,so it wasn't too awkward. He lived in the posh part of town. We stopped at a gigantic house with a swimming pool and a massive garden. We walked through the porch and he let us in,revealing a huge hallway. We trudged up 2 flights of stairs and finally came to his room. I went through the door way and my mouth went into a perfect 'O' shape. His walls were painted blue,and he had lots of pictures of naked girls covering his walls,but there was a green day poster in the corner.
"What?" He asked,sounding irritated.
"N-nothing, its just,you have a green day poster,I wouldn't of expected you to like them" I was still shocked. Green Day are one of my favourite bands.
"Oh yeah" his face lighted up at the mention of the band
"they're my favourite. I want to get into more bands like them,but I'm not sure what to listen to" he sighed. I couldn't believe it.
"Here" I chucked him my ipod
"click any song off that,most of its like green day's style" I found myself smiling at him. And he smiled back. He chose a misfits song and liked them instantly,I showed him black flag too,and smashing pumpkins. By the end of the night I'd made a list of over 200 songs for him to download,and we both grinned at each other when I left. I walked home in the dark,november night. Thinking about pete. Not like that- even if I am gay- but about green day and everything. I got home and crawled underneath the covers of my blanket,just managing to kick off my shoes before I fell asleep. -time lapse- I woke up and got ready for school. I giggled to myself as I chose a green day tee,imagining petes reaction. I got downstairs,and gerard was sitting down with a cup of coffee. "Where's mine?" I whined. Gerard held up the cup he was drinking and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I was up late last night at franks, I'm so tired." Frank was his boyfriend. He was really cool,and he had awesome piercings. "Cool" was all I said before grabbing my bag and walking out the door. I got to school quickly but was surprised to see a gang of boys walking towards me. Great. Petes friends. I gritted my teeth as they got closer. "Well look who it is!" Said one of them,and I noticed pete in the background,going red and biting his lip. I wanted to say something,but one of the bigger lads punched me in the eye and I fell to the floor,smacking my head hard on the concrete. Another one kicked me,and they left to pick on some other person. When I got up, I was surprised to still see pete standing there,shifting his weight and playing with his thumbs. "Thanks for the help" I said sarcastically. I meant it as a joke but it came out rather spitefully. "I'm sorry...its just if I do anything I'll end up getting beat up,and er I don't really want that" he said,apologetically. I nodded and smiled. "Its okay,and did you get round to downloading those songs?" I asked him,trying to change the subject. His face lit up. "Yes! Smashing pumpkins are absolutely amazing by the way! Thanks for that" he grinned. I grinned back. Breaking the silence,I asked "do you want to come to mine tonight? It only seems fair since I went to yours last night". Pete shrugged "sure" he smiled again. He looked kinda hot when he smiled. Wait kinda? He looked stunning when he smi- wait,mikey. Stop. I pushed those thoughts out of my head and walked towards the school entrance with pete,discussing bands. He said he liked my t-shirt,and how he's excited for his birthday in 2 weeks time. "Hey you wanna come? I'm having a party" he grinned. Knowing him,probably full of slags,lots of alcohol and everyone having sex. I had been to a few before, they weren't bad. "Sure" I smiled at him,and said bye as the bell rang for the first lesson.
