The Light Behind Your Eyes

The more the class went on, the more Gerard kept glancing at me. That was when I decided to be the outgoing part of me and talk. Right now, he was just staring at me. He wouldn't look away. I dropped my pencil and looked up. "Is there something on my face?" I asked. His eyes went wide with horror and he shook his head, "No! No, it's uh nothing." He said quickly. I just nodded and looked back down. "D- Do you want to eat lunch with me and my friends?" I heard his voice ask. I looked up, "Can I bring mine?" He nodded slowly. "Do you mind if they're lesbians?" "No not at all I love lesbians! Wait...I mean like....I'm not homo I treat people equally. Like I wouldn't care if you were a lesbian...not that you are! But I wouldn't care." He face palmed himself. "Are you?" He asked.

"No." I giggled. He sighed....of relief? The bell rang dismissing class and Gerard and I walked together as I heard Frank join us. "Is she eating with us?" He nodded, "And her friends." I met up with Missy and Lindsey who were talking and laughing about something. Lindsey looked behind me and smirked. "So I see you met Gerard." She nudged me. I laughed. "Yes, and we're eating lunch with him." She smiled wider, "So, have you talked to him?" "Well, he asked me to eat lunch with him and his friends and- " "Rain!" Gerard called. "Come meet my friends." He said taking my wrist and dragging me. I winced and pulled away. He stopped and turned his face full of fear. "What happened are you okay?!"

"Uh yeah, but I just got hurt last night from helping my brother screw in a bookshelf." I lied. He nodded slowly. "Well," He pointed at a girl who had brown short hair next to a guy that had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a lip ring, "That is Katlin, and her boyfriend Bob, also the drummer in our band." He pointed to a blonde girl with light brown eyes and light bleached hair. "That's Jamia, Frank's girlfriend." He pointed to a guy with an afro and a girl with glasses and brown hair, "That's Christa and Ray." "And that's Mikey and his girlfriend Alicia." "I know." I said simply. "Oh. Well great!" "So this my best friend Missy, and her girlfriend Lindsey also my other best friend." They both smiled and waved.

"Sit! Sit!" Alicia said. We laughed and sat. We mostly talked about what we liked and Gerard kept gasping and saying, 'Me too!' every time I said what I liked. I knew he was telling the truth. Which made this even greater. He's hot, funny, and likes everything I do. So this is good. We were having and great time when I heard, "Hey! The emo and queers have friends!" We all looked up and saw Rose and her posse. We rolled our eyes. "I thought you had detention Smith." Lindsey asked. "After school idiot!" She snorted. "Hey is this your boyfriend?" She asked pointing next to me. I was afraid to look but I did. And it was Gerard. "No, Rose." "Well sure looks like it. He's staring at you dreamily."

His eyes went wide and so did mine. I have had enough, "Rose can you and your posse just fuck off?" She stepped back. Then smirked. "Well emo, for a little freak cutter like you, you sure have a mouth!" She lifted her smoothie and before I could run, she grabbed my collar, opened it, and poured the pink creamy drink down my shirt. She smirked before closing it, and pressing my shirt to me. "Oops." She whispered. "Don't let her get to you Rain, it's the first day of school. Don't get into a fight." I unclenched my fists. But it didn't help the fact that my lip quivered. By now, the lunchroom was silent and everyone was watching. "You gonna cry emo?" Rose sneered.

I stood up, sending the cold smoothie down and into my pants, grabbed my bag, and ran out of the school. I ran home. I stopped at the front door and banged on it. Pete's car was here. He had to be too. The door swung open, it was Patrick, "Sunshine? Are you okay?" He asked with a concerned expression on his face. I didn't respond only sob and just stand there. He pulled me into his chest. I sobbed harder and I was shaking like crazy. Patrick pulled me into the house and sat me on the couch. "What's wrong Sunshine?" He asked softly. I finally managed to calm down. I saw Patrick's shirt. "Oh Pat, I'm sorry I ruined your shirt!" I said. I got my eyeliner and mascara and eye shadow and even the smoothie and tears on him.

He shrugged, "All that matters is why you are crying and why are you home from school early?" I wiped my eyes. "And why do you smell like strawberries and are soaking?" He asked. "Some bitch named Rose. She always picks on us. And has her boyfriend pushed us around. And at lunch I told her to fuck off and she poured her smoothie down my shirt." I sobbed. "Oh I'm so sorry Sunshine! Okay, go take a shower, I'll make you pasta, and then you go to work and come home and do whatever. Pete is at work. So I'll explain it to him." I nodded and went upstairs. By the time I had showered, I had gotten missed calls and texts. I ignored them.

I put on a bra and underwear, black skinny jeans, a loose crop top. Thing that sucks, was I couldn't wear jackets. I grabbed my red Sharpie and doodled anything on my arms. I slipped on my black Converse and grabbed my bag and phone. I was gonna be late! I ran downstairs. "I'm so sorry Patrick, I'm going to be late. I'll eat it later!" I hugged him and grabbed my skateboard and skated to work. I picked my skateboard up and walked in. "Hey Madison!" I called entered the back room. "Hi." She said from behind a pile of comic books. I work at a comic book shop. I put my stuff down and slid my phone into my back pocket. I went behind the counter and started to go through the pile of books. I heard the chime of the door indicating someone had entered and I bent down to pick up a pen.

When I shot up, I jumped back to see Gerard standing there. "I didn't know you worked here!" I blushed, "Yeah, I do." "Wait, Rain, are you okay? From earlier?" I looked down and looked back up, "Yeah, I'm okay." He studied me, "Promise?" He asked softly. "I promise." He nodded and smiled. "Hey, can I ask you something?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck. "Sure." He turned slightly pink before asking, "Would you...like to.....goonadatewithme?" I cocked my head to the side. "I understood none of that Gee." He laughed nervously. "Would you like to go on a date with me?" He asked nervously. I turned really red. I could feel it. And Gerard was a tomato. "Of course I would want to go on a date with you." I said.

He sighed of relief. "But where?" I asked. "Well, the fair is coming on Friday. Maybe Friday night?" I looked down and blushed. "O- okay." "Great. See you tomorrow." Gerard walked further into the store and I bit my lip, smiling.
