Teenagers

Mikey and I walked in to the school. We stood by the office with Ray and waited for Frankie. I’ve started to call him Frankie. He told me he liked it when I call him that. After a few minutes, he came through the front doors.
“Hey guys,” he said. He grabbed my hand and I felt my cheeks burn. We talked for a little while until the bell rang. Frank gave me a quick hug, then we all headed to our classes.
The day went by so slowly until it finally reached last period, the only class I have with Frank. He met me in the hallway. He took my hand again as we started to head to class.
‘Look at these two faggots,’ I heard someone say. ‘Fuckin’ homos.’ I turned around to see a bunch of people staring at us. Mostly preppy bitches and jocks. Frank and I tried to get to class as soon as possible, but it was relatively difficult with everyone shoulder checking us on the way.
We finally got to class and sat down. After a few minutes, there was an announcement over the P.A. “Could we have all students report to the High School Gym, except for Gerard Way and Frank Iero. We need them in the office.”
We all left the class and headed for the Gym, except for Frankie and I who headed for the office. “You two just go back to class,” the lady at the front desk said, “they don’t need you down in the Gym, so you guys can just go back to your class and have free time, I guess.” Frank I headed back to class, really confused.
When we got back to the room, there was no one in there. Not even a teacher. We sat down and I began to draw as Frank and I talked.
“Gerard,” Frank said. I looked up and his face was inches from mine.
“Yes, Frankie,” I barely stuttered out. His eyes had become my only weakness, it seemed. Everytime he was that close to my face, I seemed to lose track of my thoughts.
“You’re so,” he started, then stopped himself. He puffed out his cheeks, then pulled my face close to his. “You’re so beautiful,” he said. He gently kissed me on the lips. I tensed up, because I’d never kissed anyone before. But after a while, I loosened up.
Soon, he had me awkwardly pinned against the wall. We both started laughing hysterically, and eventually broke away. We both sat down on the floor next to each other.
“I wonder what the thing in the Gym is about?” Frank said.
“Yeah,” I said, “ and why we weren’t allowed to go.” Frank laid his head on my shoulder. We sat there without saying a word until the bell rang.
