Teacher Gerard

I slammed my hand onto my alarm clock as it started blaring the lyrics to American Idiot by Green Day. I groaned when I realized that today was the start of my new school. Slowly, I rolled out of bed and threw open my closet doors and pulled out black ripped jeans with an Of Mice and Men t-shirt. Checking the time, I cursed. Only ten minutes left until Mikey is supposed to be here! Quickly I put on my thick black eyeliner and combed my hair. As soon as I heard the car horn, I grabbed my bag and ran out the door before my parents could stop me. There was no way I was going to let them ruin my one possible friendship with Mikey.

"You look nice," Mikey said shyly while blushing slightly.

I laughed, "Thanks my entire closet is band merchandise and ripped jeans. Mostly blacks and grays with a hint of some reds."

Mikey laughed, "What a colorful wardrobe you own!"

I froze when we pulled up to the school. I instantly felt nervous for some odd reason. Every single girl walking into that school looked exactly what I thought they would look like. Bleach blonde hair, tan skin, and revealing clothes. Mikey seemed to notice this and gave me a reassuring smile. Finally, I got out of the car and let him lead me to my first period class which happened to be the same class he had. In fact, we had all of our classes together. I pulled up a seat next to him and almost instantly a short guy comes up and starts talking to Mikey.

"Ophelia, this is Frank. Frank, this is Ophelia. From what she tells me, she loves rhythmic guitars."

Frank smiled, "Oh really? I think you and I are going to get along very very well then!"

I smiled nervously, "I'm assuming you guys are in the band together?"

"Yep! Ray is also in the band but he's in our next class. Trust me, you can't miss him, he has a huge Afro," I laughed when Frank tried to imitate an Afro with his hair.

The teacher walked in and jumped back a little when she saw me, "I'm sorry I didn't realize we had a new student...especially another one like them..."

Mikey leaned over and whispered, "She means another 'emo' kid."

The entire class seemed to drag on and on. All she did the entire class was lecture about how none of the class did the assigned reading and about how important it is blah blah blah. Finally, the bell rang and all three of us rushed for the door.

Mikey smiled, "How do you like her?"

"She's a complete bitch! Seriously did she have to single us out in front of the class?"

As soon as I said that a girl came running into my shoulder pushing me into Mikey.

"Awe, did I do that? Oh well you and your little boyfriend should just go home and kill yourselves. Oh wait, he's already tried!" The girl laughed and walked away.

"What was that about?" I asked Mikey and Frank softly.

Frank pulled me towards our next class, "Don't worry about it, let's just go to our next class okay?"
