My Teenage Romance

During art class, Gee and I finish our project, and turn it in. Our classmates look at our project, trying to figure out who it is. Luckily we aren’t in the same class as Mikey, Frank, and Ray, so we didn’t have to worry about any of them getting sad because our project was better. The other groups all did abstract, or landscapes.
At lunch we discuss our projects.
"We did a beach landscape with a dog sitting watching the sun set."
Mikey, Frank, and Ray were all in one group, because they have an odd number in their class. "Personally I think we all will get into the art show."
"I'd be surprised if we didn't. I mean we had the best in our class."

~-~

The next day, our teacher tells us which groups are going to the art show, and our groups are in. She tells me and Gerard to sign our names on our painting. Everyone in our class is exremely jealous.

~-~

When the art show day rolls around, Gee comes and picks me up, along with all of the other guys. We all walk in and find where our art is located, luckily, they are right next to each other. All of us can win, because they are in different catagories. We vote for our art, and go on looking at all of the rest works. We vote for our favorites, and then turn our ballots in.

~-~

The time for the winners to be announced has come. We wait on the edges of our seats. They announce the winner for abstract, then sculpture, and now they are going to announce landscapes. The group that won is, Mikey, Frank, and Ray! Now for the portraits. Gerard and I ended up winning! They say that our two groups put our souls into our works. We used our love of music, animals, and beach sunsets and made them into wonderful works of art. When they announced our groups, Gerard literally picked me up, spun me around, and kissed me.

"I guess you two are a couple now, or something?" Mikey questioned Gerard as we walked out with our art.
"Yeah, I guess we are."
"You guess? Is it yes or no?"
"Yes"

When I get home, my mom looks worried.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"We thought you were coming home earlier than this. I thought something had happened.'
"Me and the guys were hungry so we went to a pizzeria."
"I need to call Bob and tell him you're home safe."
"Did you seriously send Bob out to look for me?"
She couldn't hear me, because she was already on the phone with bob. When she hangs the phone up she tells me to sit down.

~-~

Bob gets home in exactly five minutes. Bob Bryar is my step-dad, but he doesn't want me to call him dad if I don't want to. He looks extremely relieved when he sees me. He can be fatherly, but he is more of a friend than father to me.
"Oh, god. Where were you?"
"I went to a pizzeria with the guys after the art show."
"You didn't call."
"My cell died. I'm really sorry."
They lecture me, then they let me go to my room. I get changed, and plug my phone in. When it comes on I get a text.

Gerard: Hey. You didn't get in trouble for getting home so late, did you?
Me: Yeah. Mom sent Bob out looking for me.
Gerard: Who's Bob?
Me: My step-dad, but he's more like a friend than father.

We say goodnight, and i go to bed.

Notes
