Kiss Me Before We Crash

Gerard’s POV
I walked through the halls, trying to blend into the shadows as I went along. It’s better that way, not being noticed. On the rare occasion people actually take notice of my they instantly hate me, everyone except Frank of course. That guy’s like me brother.
I reached the cafeteria and slipped over to the table where Frank and his girlfriend Jamia were sitting.
“Hey Gee,” Frank greeted. “Have you seen that new girl? She’s kind of creepy.” He pointed to a table across the room.
I looked where he was pointing and saw a girl, about my age. She was shockingly pale (Like “Vampire pale”) and had choppy black hair. She was all by herself at the table and looked kind of lonely so I got up and walked over to her.
“Hey,” I said awkwardly. “I’m Gerard” The girl looked up at me and I noticed she had ear buds in. She plucked them out again and said,
“Did you say something, punk?”
“Umm yeah….I’m Gerard Way and since I saw you here all by yourself I was wondering if you wanted to sit with me and my friend’s Frank and Jamia…”
She snickered and said, “No thanks, punk. The name’s Morgan by the way”
With that she put her ear buds back in her ears, but before she did I could swear I saw a hint of regret in her eyes. I didn’t press it any farther because frankly I was kind of pissed that she blew me off like that. And what’s with the whole “Punk” thing? Whatever.
I walked back over to Frank and Jamia.
“Any luck with “The Vampire”? Frank joked.
No! That bitch just blew me off!” I honestly didn’t know what her problem was, but she already got on my bad side.
“Dude, calm down. I told you something’s off with that girl…I don’t like ‘er.”

When I was walking home from school I decided to stop at the nearby park, maybe work on some sketches.
I sat down on a bench near the pond and took out my notebook and colored pencils. I went to work, trying to capture every single detail, the way the water moved, the setting sun, everything. I looked up because I heared pencils scratching…and they weren’t mine. I was surprised to see Morgan sitting in the grass, focused on a sketch. She still had her ear buds in though. Then I looked over and saw a group of popular girls coming up to her. Should I warn her? Too late…The most popular of the group, a girl named Jordan walked up and snatched up Morgan’s notebook.
“Give it back you twat!” She yelled. The group of girls looked through the notebook and began giggling. Then Jordan tore out the first few pages of the notebook and threw them in the pond followed by the notebook. Another girl (I think her name’s Elizabeth?) shoved Morgan and the girls hurried off. I watched as Morgan sank to her knees, bawling hysterically. I got up and ran over to her. I managed to grab a few of the papers from the water before they drifted off to far out, but the notebook had sank to the bottom. They were really good!
“Here,” I said handing her the papers. She looked up at me and scowled.
“What the hell do you want, punk?” She said grabbing the papers.
“I came to help you,” I explained trying to stay calm. “You’re really talented by the way. I really like the drawing of the black rose with all the thorns.”
“Whatever”. There she goes again, totally blowing me off. She looked irritated, but still I continued to push her.
“I was wondering why you didn’t want to hang out with us earlier.” That’s it, I’d gone to far. I don’t know how, but I did.
“Maybe because I have better things to do than chill with a bunch of freaking idiots! I don’t freaking need you!”
She grabbed her papers, pencils, and Ipod and got up.
“Just leave me the hell alone!”
Then she just ran off..
What was this girl’s problem?!
