Let Me Teach You A Thing Or Two

It’s Saturday and a week of school has already gone by. Let me just say a few things about myself. So I have this huge crush on Bob, I’ve had it since. I don’t know maybe freshman year? It’s been so long, that I don’t even remember when it started. I just sulk around and play bass wondering when the day will come when, he’ll ask me out. Or I grow a pair of balls to do it myself. I just daydream what its like. I sound like a teenage girl. I am currently laying on my bed, but not normal. I have my feet propped up on my wall and my hanging off the side of my bed. So I’m weird, but that’s what I get for having a brother like Gerard. I’m honestly bored and don’t know what to do. Funny, I don’t sleep in like normal teens or go out. What ever. My phone is laying on my stomach and I pick it up. I search through my messages and start texting Bob.

Mikey: Hey

Bob: Hey

M: Sup?

B: Nothing. What about you?

M: Same. Want to come over?

B: Sure, but can’t stay long I have work at 2:30.

I look over at my clock on my dresser, it reads 11. My fingers begin typing before I even look back at the screen.

M: Alright, get your ass over here.

B: Calm your tits I’m already on my way.

M: You shouldn’t be texting and driving.

B: Then stop texting me!

“I can’t I love talking to you,” I type out but then quickly delete it. Gerard is the only one that knows I like Bob. He figured it out, I didn’t think it was that obvious. I guess it is.

“Hey Bob, I didn’t know you were coming over,” I hear Gerard say faintly.

“Yeah, well your brother invited me over,” Bob replies, just his voice gets my heart beating fast.

“He’s upstairs in his room,” Gerard states as he starts coming up the stairs.

“Alright, cool,” Bob replies as he follow behinds.

Someone knocks on my door and I shoot up from my bed to open it. There Gerard stands with Bob behind him. They both walk in and take a seat. Gerard sits on the bean bag that sits in the corner of my room. Bob lays down on my bed, tossing a ball in the air.

“Make yourselves at home I guess,” I say sarcastically.

“Oh yeah. Hey Mikes,” Bob finally greets me, he laughs.

I shake my head then turn on my stereo, I open up my Green Day CD case. I open the the thing and place the CD in and turn it up. I sit down on my computer chair.

“What’s Ray up to?” I ask Gerard. He just looks at me and shrugs.

“Yo, invite him!” Bob yells over the music. I turn it down so that way everyone can talk at a decent level.

“Okay, if you want,” Gerard says as he whips out his phone and begins texting Ray.

I look over a Bob and he’s head banging to the song. Not only that but air drumming, oh cute. I felt blush grow on my face so I casually look away and look at Gerard. He has a small smile on his face then looks back at his phone and texts some more. I feel something vibrate in my pocket and see it’s a text from Gerard.

G: Just tell him already! This is driving me mad!

M: You and me both. But how?

G: Mikes figure it out!

M: I’ve been trying too.

“What did Ray say?” Bob asks Gee.

“Uh… He’s on his way,” Gee quotes.

“Who are you texting Mikey?” Bob asks me, I begin to panic.

“Uh… Erm.. Jada,” I spat.

“Really?” Bob says, he stops throwing the ball. I look over at Gee, he looks at me confused.

“Uh, yeah,” I stutter.

“Cool,” was all he said.

G: Someone’s jealous

M: I mean… idk

G: Look I’ll leave and go wait for Ray. GET A MOVE ON LITTLE BRO!

M: ugh.. fine.

“So you two have fun I’m going to watch TV,” Gerard announces before leaving.

“Okay,” Bob replies, having not moved since he arrived. I look at the door and Gerard gives me a face that reads ‘do it now or never’. He shuts the door and heads down stairs.

Everything in my body becomes numb. My heart starts to beat really fast. I feel sweat drip down the side of my head. I nonchalantly wipe it away before Bob notices. My hands start to shake, oh dear god help me.

“So… uh Bob,” I stutter, good job moron.

“Yes?” He asks, his voice rises at the end.

“How have you been?” I ask, oh my gosh is this stupid. I just sound so stupid, someone kill me.

“Good… You are acting weird. Are you okay?” Bob asks sitting up this time.

“I’m fine,” I reply, I take a deep breath mentally and go sit next to Bob on the bed.

“Hey Mikey.”

“Yes?” I ask.

“Do you think that.. If I asked out someone they would say yes?” Bob asks with hope in his voice.

“I mean it depends on the person. Do you know them well enough,” I begin to blabber as I pace back and forth listing things,” Do you think they like you? How long have you known them? Do we know them? Meaning Gerard, Ray, I? Or is it a mystery girl or guy. Which ever you choose, I am cool with both by the way.” I feel a pair of lips on top of mine which makes me shut up fast. I melt into it and put my arms on his shoulders. Finally, Bob pulls away with a smile on his face.

“Wow, that was uh… a nice way to make me shut up,” I stutter.

“Mikey, that person is you,” he confesses and smiles.

“Yes, I would love to be your boyfriend,” I whisper. He laughs and lifts me up, placing me on the bed.

“Finally,” was all he said before he kissed me again. I pulled him closer, I hear a knock on my door. I groan a little but get up and open it.

“Hey Ray!” Bob shouts from the bed.

“Sup guys?” Ray asks as he slides past me. Gerard pulls me out into the hallway and pushes me against the wall.

“What happened?” He asks, his eyes searching mine.

“Let’s just say, I didn’t have to do anything,” I confess, shrugging.

“Really?” He says confused, his grip losing before actually letting go.

“I got nervous and started pacing back and forth. He stopped me rabbling by kissing me,” I explain. Gerard starts spazzing out, “Should I call for help?”

“No! Oh my gosh, Mikey that is so fucking cute!” He exclaims. I put my hand over his mouth.

“Shut your face, I don’t them hearing our conversation,” I whisper yell at him.

“Sorry,” He mumbles under my hand.

“Alright, lets go back in my room before they question anything,” I state as I turn around to walk into my room.

“Was that a good pow wow you had out there?” Rays asks.

“Yes,” Gerard replies as he winks at me, I just roll my eyes.

“What do you guys want to do?” Bob asks, he’s obviously bored. His eyes focused on me as if I have an answer. My heart melts a little.

“We can play with the 64,” I suggest as I get on my knees next to the system which chills under my desk. On my desk is a set on controllers wrapped up all nicely next to the TV. It doesn’t have cable and it’s a crappy old one so I just use it for video games.

“What do you guys want to play?” I ask as I begin hooking up the controllers.

“Smash Brothers,” Rays says excitedly, he gets up out of the bean bag. He crawls his way towards me to grab the green controller. Gerard laughs as he grabs the red one. Bob grabs the regular grey one. That leaves me with the purple one, thanks guys. I blow on the game then put it in.

“I’m going to smoke your ass Toro,” Bob says.

“In your dreams Bryar,” Ray laughs.

This goes on for about an hour. Finally I throw in the towel, I losted way too many times to count. Gee joins in and stands up.

“Anyone want a soda?” He asks as he walks towards the door.

“Me,” Ray and Bob say at the exact same time.

“I’ll come with you,” I say as I get up from the ground.

“Mkay,” Gerard says already at the edge of the staircase.

I follow Gee to the kitchen and pop open the fridge and find four cans of Cokes. I place them on the table as I grab a bag of Doritos. I take two of the sodas and the bag of chips. Gee takes the other two and runs back upstairs, I follow close behind him. Bob and Ray have already changed the game to Mario Kart. These two are crazy about video games, neither of them can stand losing. Gee and I on the other hand just play for fun. Bob I place the two cokes on the desk so that way Bob and Ray don’t spill them. The last thing I want to do on a Saturday is clean up a mess that wasn’t my fault. I take a coke from Gerard as I sit on the bed next to him. Ray is sitting on the ground is back leaning on my bed, Bob is also doing the same. My back leans against the wall, the bag sits between me and Gerard. I study Bob, he looks so cute getting so into the game. I wish I could just cuddle up next to him. But I don’t know if I’m ready to show my emotions in front of Ray or Gee. I just I don’t know, feel uncomfortable about it.

Soon enough it turns into 2:30 and Bob has to go. He grabs his phone which is laying on my bed and head downstairs. I follow behind him.

“Can you give me a ride?” I ask him.

“Uh.. yeah sure where to?” He asks.

“To town,” I reply.

“Why?” He replies curiously.

“I want to get something from a store, thats all.”

“Alright.” He opens the front door for me, which makes me blush.

He unlocks the car and I hop in before he could open the door for me. He slides in, into the drivers seat and smiles at me. I lean over and kiss him, this is the bravest thing I have done all year. Bob accepts it and puts his hand on my cheek then breaks the kiss. A smiles slowly forms on his face, blush forming on mine.

“You are so cute Mikey Way,” Bob whispers before letting go and pulling the car out of the drive way.
