Love and Other Stupid Things
Come One Come All to this Tragic Affair
Frank’s POV
When I found out that Gerard was in practically all of my classes, I was stupidly happy. I could already tell that this year would be better. After the teacher was done droning on and on, the bell rang, and we both got up to go to our next class.
“Do you know when lunch is?” He asked me.
“We all have the same lunch period. You know, Ray was supposed to be in our first period but he said he was gonna snoop around the office and give us a little surprise later,” I replied. I really didn’t understand Ray.
“It’s like he enjoys getting in trouble,” Gerard laughed. His perfect adorable laugh. As we made our way to History, an announcement came over the loud speakers.
“Due to technical difficulties with the computers at school, we are not able to take attendance or give out schedules.” The women talking cleared her throat and sounded confused. “Um, next period will be a free period while our computer technician sorts out the problems. And after you will have connections. The lunch schedule will go as follows:…” They listened carefully and heard that theirs would be staying the same.
“Oh my god! Ray is the best fucking friend alive!” Gee exclaimed.
“Huh?” was my brilliant response.
“That’s what he was doing in the office dumbass,” He laughed. Feeling like a genius I hurried off to my locker with Gerard.
“Mine is on the other side of this floor,” Gee said pointing in that direction. I didn’t want to wait to go find our other friends so I just grabbed his things and shoved it in my locker. I looked at his surprised face and laughed a little.
“Come on,” Gee followed me down the stairs and threw his arm over my shoulders, which I enjoyed very much but I couldn’t help but blushing like an idiot, which made me feel stupid.
Our group met out in our little spot in the courtyard behind some bleachers like we have ever since high school. Gerard removed his arm and I shivered a little at its absence.
“Bobert!” I yelled and ran up to him. “Hey dude!” He laughed and punched my arm lightly, which made me stumble back a little bit.
“ Ray, you’re officially awesome,” I said as I hugged him, practically becoming engulfed in his afro. As I did, I snuck the pack of cigarettes out his pocket and took one throwing the pack back.
“Sneaky bastard,” he grumbled as he pulled out one for himself. We all sat down simultaneously and basked in the short moment of freedom from the boring classes. Gerard pulled out his sketch book that seemed to be attached to him at all times and began to draw, occasionally looking up at me and erasing and redrawing. It made me curious but I know that he never shows anyone his artwork, except Mikey. I took a drag of the cancer stick and blew out the smoke tilting my head back and watching the smoke float around me in random patterns like artwork.
“Aw, dude,” Mikey broke the silence, nodding to Gerard, “There’s this new girl. She is hot,” he continued, drawing out the word. Gerard looked up and then back down at his work. I was curious about his reaction. He seemed uninterested.
“Cool man. Go for her,” He responded absentmindedly. It was really unlike him. He should have been asking a whole bunch of questions, interrogating his brother but he simply looked up at me and we made eye contact, then both looked away.
“Naw, she isn’t my type,” Mikey said.
“So you have a type?” Ray joked. “Like geeky girls with glasses that skipped a grade like you?” He started laughing and I did to.
“Oh yeah, and your type are girls who have gigantic afros that probably have a whole flock of birds nesting within it!” Mikey started chortling and then Ray jumped on him and they rolled over on the grass. Bob and I started laughing like crazy people and I moved out of the way over to Gerard so they could have room to fight. Gerard closed his art book and looked at them fighting with amusement. I heard the bell ring faintly from the school building.
“Come on boys. Break it up before you hurt something,” Gerard said as he stood up from the ground pulling me up with him. He started brushing off the grass from his pants. I decided to play around with him.
“You missed some,” I said innocently brushing some off.
“You like the view Frankie?” He drawled jokingly. Just his voice and the way he said my name made me feel hot and cold at the same time- in a good way.
“Oh you know it,” I said, playing along.
“Ewwww. Stop flirting with my brother Iero,” said Mikey. Gee just smirked and ruffled my hair and started walking toward the school. I really need to stop acting like an idiot around Gerard. I needed to stop blushing at the comments because I know that he was joking with me. I needed to stop liking him like this before my stupid heart breaks. We said goodbye and went to our separate connections classes after we all thanked Ray again for his first day “present” to us.
The rest of the day passed uneventfully. The same back to school crap routine. We ate lunch while everybody but me and Gerard talked about their classes and new people. Gee was being oddly quiet. I was just looking forward to the afternoon at his house. I didn’t feel like going home. Maybe I would just crash at his house. The idea was really appealing. No! Get that out of your head Frank! You can’t like Gerard. You don’t like him. I was really trying to convince myself. Gerard and I went to our last two classes and basically passed notes about random things the whole time.
Green Day is better than the Misfits I read Gerard’s flawless handwriting. This was a topic that came up with us a lot.
Are you joking?! For the last time Gerard, Green Day IS good but the Misfits are better. I scribbled down my note and passed it to him. He read it and smirked.
I guess you just need a tickle attack later so I can prove you wrong. I am REALLY ticklish by the way. I think I mentioned that to Gerard a long time ago. I’m surprised he remembered.
You wouldn’t dare! :o I glared at him as he read it. He looked back at me with an evil grin on his face.
“Try me,” he said mischievously. The way he said it almost made me forget how to breathe. ‘Oh yes I do want to try you’ I thought. And the bell finally rang ending the first day of hell which actually wasn’t that bad today. The chairs scraped across the floor in a messy melody as everybody hurried home or to find their friends.
