If You Love Me, Let Me Go
Chapter 1
I remember the day when I first laid eyes on him. To me it seemed like yesterday but four years ago was long ago.
Starting my sophomore year in high school, I only remember how this year was going to be such a drag. The incoming freshmen are going to be idiots, especially the ones that are coming from a nearby town. Nothing new is going to happen. Nothing seems to ever happen in this shit hole of a town.
I started walking towards the direction of the high school, taking one last drag of my cigarette and silently singing whatever song that was playing on my IPod. As I got nearer to the high school, I started looking for my friend Melissa. Hopefully she'll know what's going on today in the school. Melissa has been my friend for about a year and a half now. During that time I've known her, I began to realize she likes to gossip about what's going on and knows anything about everyone.
"Hey Evelyn!" I heard Melissa yelled. I turned to see my unusually happy friend running towards me.
"Hey 'Lissa." I said giving her a hug.
"Did you see the new boy yet?" Melissa asked. "Heard he's pretty dreamy looking." she said looking around and her gaze stopped.
I looked towards where she was staring. All I could see is a bunch boys standing together in a circle.
"See that one with the black hair, he's the one everyone has been talking about." she said pointing out the middle one of the group.
Looking at him, I admit he is kind of cute looking but nothing too special especially not really dreamy looking as Melissa puts it. Only thing that stood out to me is that he's wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt. Kid must know some good music. And must have the guts to show it off here since the asshole jocks are against that kind of music.
He caught me staring at him. I quickly turned away after he gave me a cute little smile and before he could see me blush.
"What's his name?" I asked Melissa before giving him one last look and as the bell started to ring.
"I believe his name is Gerard." she said before walking off to her first hour class.
Well his name is Gerard. A cute little freshman, knows good music, and has an unusual name. I can definitely tell this is going to be one interesting year. If one of the new kids is that good looking maybe something good can come out of it.
