Things Are Better If You Stay With Me
Our Lady Of Sorrows
I followed Bob out of the small bathroom and he leads me down the hall. I watch him as he just keeps looking forward and doesnt look back at me. His facial expression is blank and i cant read it. And im usually good at reading face.
"So," he starts. "Why do you do it? I did it because...well...I have had a lot of problems here at school and other places."
My insides suddenly feel like they were replaced by lead. He wants me to tell him? Wait did he tell me? He doesnt even know me. If he trusts me enough to tell me his reason, i guess i can tell him.
"Well back in New York, my father was a drunk. He started beating me without my mother knowing it. It hurt me so much because my mom loved him so much and i was worried she wouldnt believe me. So..yeah."
Bob suddenly stops and looks at me. I can read his face perfectly now. Shock. Pity. I turn away so i dont have to feel his sympathy.
"I didnt know you had it so bad. Well, here we are."
I turn to the door we stopped at and we walk in. The teacher turns to us and smiles. She is a little plump and has wild, curly hair that goes down her back.
"Thank you Bob for bringing Mr.Iero to us. Frank, you can sit back there with Makayla."
I turn to where she is pointing and see the girl from the bus. I go to the back and plop down in my seat. I get a better look at her and see she has black hair that rhangs on the sides of her head and some are sweeped over her brown eyes. She had thick, black rimmed glasses fit just right on her head. She also had a small nose and full lips. She is actually really....pretty. I find myself staring at her and she turns over to burn her brown eyes into mine.
She tries to glare at me, but all i see is nervousness in her eyes. And the way she looked over at me. She seems very...insecure. Like me.
The teacher is talking about pig guts as she scribbles on a piece of paper. At first i thought that she was taking notes, but she then passes the paper to me.
Got a staring problem? It says.
No i wasnt staring.
Yeah okay i know what staring at someone looks like.
Fine you caught me.
I sit in my seat, my face flushed. I was so embaressed by getting caught. Crap i told myself i wasnt going to pay attention to anyone in school! I was just going to focus on school. I totally messed it up.
~Time Lapse~
With the help of Bob, i managed to get to all of my classes on time. Good thing we had the same scheduales. Also Makayla was in a lot of my classes. I tried to sit as far away as possible so i wouldnt get embaressed again. Lunch rolled around and Bob leads me to a table filled with guys dressed in band tee shirts.
"Hey guys, this is Frank. Hes new." He says.
"Hey its nice to meet you. Im Gerard, this is Ray and my own kid brother Mikey."
He points to Ray, who is very muscular and has hair like my Biology teacher and Mikey who is a very tiny kid.
"Im Mikey, Gerards favorite brother!" The wiry boy says.
Gerard snorts, "Dude, your my only brother."
"Still! Im the best brother there ever was!"
Im stiffling giggles when i hear a small, high voice call out, "Hey guys."
I turn and see Makayla coming over to us. Just my fucking luck.
"So," he starts. "Why do you do it? I did it because...well...I have had a lot of problems here at school and other places."
