I see you lying next to me

Emmett’s P.O.V

I woke up very tired, not wanting to get up at all. But I knew I had to, Mary wouldn’t be too happy if I neglected my education.
Emily wakes us up at eight o’clock every morning, except for weekends. Emily is a very nice teacher, and she always wakes us up kindly, not screaming and shouting. Thank god it’s already Thursday, I’ll just endure on today and tomorrow and it’s weekend.
Anyway, I was very tired because the “new kid” who came here about a month ago, was fighting with Frank last night, which kept me up all night. The new kid’s room is next to me, so I heard everything. I heard even more than I’d wanted to.
It’s pretty normal that Frank gets in trouble, but the reason was pretty weird this time.
Normally he just teases people because he’s got nothing else to do, I think.
But this case has been different. The reason Frank teases the boy is different.
Frank seems like he’s just got his first crush, which being another boy is not a surprise. I knew Frank had a softer side, as I heard last night. Also, Frank seems like this crush is a really big one and he really doesn’t know how to approach the other boy properly.
Anyway, I don’t really see anything wrong with that.
I actually don’t even hate Frank as much as the others seem to, but I don’t like him very much either. The new kid seems okay too, for what I’ve seen him.

Though there are some wild stories about Frank making new boys fall in love with him and then he fucks them knowing they will die after since Frank is much stronger and doesn't love them, sounds pretty far-fetched I know. Weirdest thing about this is that too many of the boys he's been 'seducing' (like the others call it), have disappeared pretty soon after people start to notice the thing. The teachers always tell us that some students just can't handle the pressures of a school this high level so they move to another schools. I think that's more likely the reason the people disappear.

Anyway, If Frank was doing it to the new kid, he's now done it for much longer than before.

After I got up, I just went to my bathroom. I’m so happy that we, the students, all have got our own rooms, and bathrooms.
I did my morning routine; brush my hair and put on the normal outfit.
I really should wash my robe someday, I thought as I was getting ready for breakfast.

I step out of my room, and just then realize that there’s something happening in the next room again. When do they stop? Why can’t they just be like the rest of us, who actually try to study?

There are few more students watching the situation with me, and the audience grows as someone steps out of their room, and when someone comes down from upstairs and is awake enough to notice that there’s something going on here. The door is fully open, with Mary and Emily standing on the doorway.
“Both of you, up!” Mary shouts. What do you mean both?
“Can I just---“ I hear Frank mumbling from the room. So Frank obviously stayed for the night, this isn’t going to end well.
“Now!” Mary shouts, her face is red from the anger.

“Boys, just go downstairs to eat already, and tell everyone not to leave the cafeteria until we come” Emily tells the audience, which is us.
I hear everyone mumbling things like ‘it was getting so interesting’ ‘why’ ‘I wanted to watch’ ‘Frank’s so gay’ as I head downstairs with the others. I also heard a quiet whisper of someone telling to their friend that ‘I heard them fucking so hard last night’, which made me cringe a bit at the thought, but which I knew wasn’t true because I had heard it all, no-one died, and it never sounded like they were fucking.

I notice my friends at the cafeteria, already sitting and eating.
It’s pretty easy to find your friends here since there are only about thirty students living here.
I go to sit with them after getting a cup of coffee. I get greeted with those happy and kind of sleepy ‘morning dude’ ‘hi’ mumbles, as always. The canteen is very bright, there are many big windows there and the sunlight gets nicely in. It’s already spring, and the mornings are getting brighter everyday.
“Did you guys hear that fighting last night or was it just me?” Jason asks us as he’s poking his porridge with a spoon and staring at the boring breakfast we get every morning. His blond hair isn’t brushed, and it looks horrible. But that’s just how he is.

“Yes, I heard it all” I tell him and take a sip of my coffee.
“It was horrible, I couldn’t sleep” says Luke, also just poking his porridge. I haven’t eaten that shit for a long time.
“I know right, I already thought that if they didn’t shut up soon I’d go there and shut them up” Jason tells us.
“They could’ve cast some silencing spell around themselves so that it wouldn’t have bothered the others so much” I think out loud and take another sip of my coffee.
"Well, we probably don't have to stand it for too long 'cause soon enough the new kid is going to 'change schools' as they---" Jason starts.

“Oh look at that!” Jason suddenly exclaims and points a finger at the people who are coming into the cafeteria.

Frank and the other boy comes in, after them comes Mary and Emily.
People start whispering immediately and some of them even points at them and says things like ‘those are the guys that fought last night’ and 'I thought he would be dead already' I also hear someone whispering ‘Frank’s so gay’ again.
Both boys seem pretty tired, like almost everyone here today. Neither of them has the school uniform on, except for robes. Frank’s robe seems to be a little bit too big for him; its hem is dragging on the floor.
They silently make their way to the corner table, after they take big cups of coffee with them.
I’m surprised to see Frank here, since he always wakes up very late.
Frank and the other boy start giggling at something and keep whispering something to each other.

“Attention boys! Everyone!” Mary suddenly proclaims from the front of the canteen.
I turn my attention from Frank and his crush to Mary with the rest of the students.

“Thanks, I have something to announce” She starts telling us. Emily is just standing next to her, playing with her hair. Every now and then Emily shoots some kind of death glares at us as to say ‘shut the fuck up’.
Frank and the other boy, whose name seems to be Gerard as Frank just randomly shouted something like ‘Gerard stop it’, are still giggling at something.

“First I’ll tell you the good news and then some bad news. The good news is that the California’s girls’ coven is coming for a visit this weekend. I hope you boys clean up your rooms and help us teachers clean the rest of the house.” Mary states. Yes, this house really needs some cleaning, though is more like messy that dirty. Anyway, it’s nice that the girls are visiting us again, they do it every year. It’s always nice to hear how things are there, and it’s really nice to be with girls since usually there are just boys here to be with.

“Then the bad news, which actually goes to Frank and Gerard..” Mary looks at them. They immediately stop giggling and look back at Mary.
“You both got some extra detention for today, because of the situation we had this morning” Mary tells them and smirks.

The students around the canteen immediately start saying things like 'kept me up all night, they deserve this' 'I feel sorry for the new kid since he seems to be the new target of Frank's".
How delusional can these students even be?

“That fucker” I hear Frank mumble.
“Well we’re still in the detention together, Frank” Gerard tells him.
“I love you” Frank whispers to his obvious crush. The other boy doesn’t respond.
I don’t even know why I keep staring at them.

“Also, I want to talk to Gerard personally” She still looks at them.
“Well, the others, when you’ve finished your breakfast I want you to go to the big field, we’ll practice there for a few hours” She states as she looks at the rest of us again.

I had already drunk my coffee, so it means that I’ll have to go to the big field now.
We also have one other field, but it’s smaller as you can guess.
We’re probably having either some flying lesson or something associated with fighting, since we’re using the big field.
I walk out of the canteen with Jason, leaving Luke and Ray finish their porridges.

“Frank seems to really like that Gerard guy” Jason suddenly says as we’re walking towards the outdoor.
“Yes, it really seems like that” I tell him.
“That’s so disgusting, you know” he tells me, grinning. I just mumble something back to him, not even sure what I was trying to say.
“You’re disgusting” Says Frank as he storms past us and out of the door. I didn’t think he’d actually come to practice.

Notes

I just kind of wanted to write from some random student's point of view and this is the result :D
I also kind of wanted you guys to know what it's like to be just a normal student there and how everything is to them, since the story is mostly of course pretty much centered to Frank and Gerard.
Hope you enjoy this one too, my lovely readers! (:
