You're Never Just A 'Nobody'

Gerard is my art partner. The guy from the bar last night.
'How do you still remember his name?!' My mind is screaming at me. Whoah okay.
It comes to my attention that Iv probably been staring at him for 5 minutes now.
GREAT, now he'll think you're a creep.

"Oh, uh-" I fumble on my words. His hazel eyes looking back at me, puzzled. Oh, he's got gorgeous eyes-
Wait! Snap out of it, Ava. Dammit.

"My names Avalon, Ava for short if you wish." I say, a bit too fast, while extending my hand out to shake his. He grabs hold of mine firmly.

"What a beautiful name," He says, with a big smile on his face.
Holy Mother of Jesus. If looks could kill...
"You can call me Gerard, or Gerard for short." Once again, replying with a massive smile on his face.

He's kinda hot if you ask me.


WHOAH


Okay hold up brain. Just hush. you're a girl. He's a guy. He barely even knows you, he probably doesn't even want too, hmm.
His voice interrupts me from my thoughts,

"You wouldn't happen to be at that bar down the street last night, right?" Gerard says facing me, his perfect, pale pixie face in front of mine.
Oh dear lord...

"Actually yes, I was. My friend Maggie & I were there." Replying to his question, looking up from my book.

"Ah, yes I thought so. I don't know if you noticed or not but-"
I cut him off,

"You were the vocalist right? To that band? You're voice is amazing. Purely beautiful." I say, with a massive grin on my face.
I probably look like a noob.

"Aha, yes that was me, and my bank. Thankyou." He looks into my eyes while saying that. Not sure if you can hear this, but my brain and the rest of my insides just exploded.

The rest of the lesson was just really getting to know each other.
I found out about his band, My Chemical Romance, that there are 5 of them, and they're trying to get signed to a record company, by just playing at bars and pubs where and when ever they can.
I also found out that he's from a smaller town in New Jersey, called Summit, where both him and his brother Mikey grew up.
Gerard's also a 22 year old that's been studying at NYU for 4 years now, I wouldn't have guessed that he was older than me, he barely looks over the age of 18...
He also likes the type of movies and music I like. He's told me he had been to some 'shitty rock' concert once, and ever since then he's been wanting to start a band. Music and art has had such a huge impact on his life, when he was feeling depressed, when he just wasn't feeling like he belonged, so on, so on.

-------------- *Lesson Dismissed* ----------------

"Miss Jones, may I have a word?" Mr. Ryan spoke up as I was getting out of my seat. All the other students left the room, Gerard giving me a smile and at quick 'see ya later', I smiled and waved back.

I approached Mr. Ryan's desk, awaiting for what I'll be told.

"Avalon, how was the first class? Please let me know if you're struggling with anything. Being in a high class will get you further will your illustrations, that's all I want you to know, okay?" He says, giving me a supporting smile.

"Oh, yes, of course. The class is great. Thankyou, Mr. Ryan." I give him a smile back and exit the room.

I spot Gerard, leaning one leg against the wall and with his head down, texting. Gum in his mouth, while his hair was in front of his face,
Again, he. Was. Fucking. Hot.
Guessing that he heard my footsteps, he looks up from his phone.

"Hey" Putting his phone back into his pocket, casually.

"Hi" I reply, turning back, continue walking to my dorm.

He runs up to me, honestly I didn't think he would follow me.
Resting his arm on my shoulder, I realize he's got to be at least 5'9, which is a perfect size for us too be a couple.

Avalon. Get a grip.

"So.." He says, breaking the silence as we walk.
"Where we heading too?" Wait. Hold up.
We?

"Oh, um I was just heading over to my dorm, my roommate has finished her History studies so.." I say, slowing my sentence down as I end it.

"Great! Let me walk you there so I have an excuse to ask for your number." Looking over at me with his cheeky smile, I can't help but to blush.
Removing his arm from my shoulder, he rests it on my other shoulder, his entire fore-arm is along my back.
Oh My God. He's got his arm around me.

"Uhh, yeah sure. Why not." I reply, looking straight ahead.

We turn a couple of corners and enter different buildings. Making it back to my dorm in 10 minutes. As we walk up to my room, Gerard stops me.

"It was great meeting you today. I guess I'll be seeing you around, yeah?" He asks, sounding the slightest bit nervous.

"Yeah, totally. It was great meeting you too. I'll catch you later-" He cuts me off

"Actually I was wondering if I could get your number?" A sudden outburst struck from his mouth.

"Oh, umm-" I fumble around in my bag for a little, searching for my phone, "-yeah sure, just help yourself" Handing him over my phone. He puts his number in my phone and thanks me.

"I'll text you later, yeah?" He says.
I respond with a quick 'yeah sure' and then he does the unexpected, he leans down and kisses my right cheek. Coming back up, smirking, he leaves, mumbling a quick 'goodbye'.

I walk in my dorm room, starstruck. Remembering the conversations I had with Gerard, how nice he seems. How charming he is. Remembering he has my number.
Oh My God.

I wait on the couch for Maggie to return. When suddenly, at that moment, she bursts through the door,

"Wear something pretty hun, Kat's having a party at her dorm tonight!!!!"
She screams with enthusiasm, entering our room, picking out clothes.
I get myself together and do the same.

This is going to be fun.
*sarcasm*
