Our Lady Of Sorrows

4

I started walking away from Gerard but when he cleared his throat I stopped to face him.

"Do you wanna know where to go?" He asked smirking at me.

"Maybe." I said and stopped for him to lead me the right way. While walking to our 1st period he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close to him.

What the hell was he doing? Does he do this to everyone? He looked totally normal and clam, did he really like me or was he trying to get in my pants again? Or maybe he liked me for me? But he doesn't even know me. Why is this so confusing?

"Whats the deal with you?" I bluntly asked as we neared out first class.

"What do you mean?" He asked back.

"Your arm, you tired to kiss me, and yeah?" I asked.

"I cant show affection?" He asked.

"Why? You don't know me." I pointed out, it was true, at my last school no one besides the one boyfriend I had ever made time to get to know me. So why would they now?

"Why cant you see that I want to get to know you?" He asked as we made our way to the teacher at the front desk.

"Mr. Foss, this is Liz, she's new, blah blah blah, I'm her tour guide for the day so she'll seat in the seat next to me yeah?" Mr. Foss didn't look up from his phone, all he did was give a small nod. After he nodded Gerard led us to two seats in the back of the class.

"No, I cant." I told him.

"You cant what?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"I don't see why anyone would want to get to know me." I said sadly and looked to my notebook. I pulled out a pen and decided to start drawling a bit.

Gerard didnt say anything for a bit. He must have agreed, I sighed and went back to drawling I heard some ruffling around me but I decided to ignore it. I saw Gerard from the corner of my eye, he was kneeling near my desk looking at me, I refused to look back at him. He sighed and placed his hand under my chin and forced me to look at him.

"I meant what I said, your so damn beautiful." He repeated.

"Your not just saying that to get in my pants?" I asked.

He laughed and shook his head. He looked at me then leaned in, I thought he was gonna kiss me on the lips, which I would have been okay with, but instead he kissed my forehead.

"I wanna show you, will you go on a date with me?" He asked.

"I'd love to." I said, I might have said it to quickly.

"Good." He said.

The rest of the classes were uneventful, Gee and I didn't really pay attention to any of the classes, not really that I had to, I already took these classes and passed with flying colors. We just talked and got closer, I found out he had a younger brother who was in the same school as us. When lunch came around Gerard took me to his table so I could meet some of his friends.

"Hey guys, this is Liz." He said introducing me to his friends. One had blonde hair, the other had a fro and the last looked really familiar.

"Liz!" Frank yelled and ran from the table to come and hug me, he picked me up off the ground and squeezed me. I laughed, we had only met once and texted once but he was so open it was cool.

"I guess you know Frank." Gerard said when he put me down.

"Yeah, we meet after I ran into you in the store yesterday." I told him.

"Wait, is she the one who-" Frank started but Gerard put his hand over his mouth to stop him from finishing. Great he told people he hooked up with a random girl. Great.

"What?" The blonde one asked.

"Nothing." Gerard said. He shot a look to Frank who must have understood it because he shut-up. "Well this is Mikey my brother," He pointed to the blonde one, I waved and he smiled. "And this is Ray." He pointed to the guy with the fro, he gave me a big smile and I smiled back. They all seemed really nice.

We sat down and Gerard put his arms over me liked he did all the other classes we had. The guys and I actually had a lot in common, although I tried not to talk much. I was afraid I would say something that would make them not like me and I'd go back to having no friends. I think they started to catch on because they started to focus the conversation on me.

"So where are you from?" Ray asked.

"New Mexico."

"Wow, that's far." Mikey said. "Why did you move out here?"

"My mothers job." I shrugged.

"Okay.. How did you and Gee meet?" Mikey asked.
