Don't assume

in Italian our seats got changed because gerard joined. The new seats he let us pick since he’d learned all of our names by now.

i was making my way to sit in the front because i get really distracted in the back, but as i was taking my seat gerard called my name “frank come sit back here with me and ash”

i didn't want to be rude and say no so i went and sat on his right while ashley sat on his left in the row of three.

ashley just gave me a smile which i returned and then her and gerard were holding hands almost instantly.

id rather have them be all ‘lovey dovey’ with each other instead of all ‘finger fucky' any day.

we just had a review of the words and phrases we’d been working on then our teacher let us do whatever we wanted.

i pulled out my phone and began texting bob. Bob’a friend of mine i met at an underground show and we’d been talking for quite a while.

he’s my age but not in school because he dropped out sophomore year.

we were finalizing our plans for after school together and where i was going to meet him when he picked me up.

“who’re you texting” ashley asked me.

“oh uh you probably don’t know them.” i told her.

“do they go here?” she asked, as gerard watched us talk.

“they used to.” i said

“what are you talking about?” gerard asked

“we’re going to a show tonight and just about tickets and the after party.”

“after party?” ashley asked smirking
“what show are you guys going to?”

“im not really sure i just go to any show i can but i know it’s down at the altar bar.”

“gee we should go!” ashely said excitedly.

“i don’t have any plans so im good with it.” he said

“wheres this after party at frankie?” she asked using a nickname normally only family and bob called me.

“its at my friends house.”

“does this ‘friend’ have a name?” ashely asked giving me a knowing look.

“ya their-“

the bell rung cutting me off.

“ill text you guys the details about the after party and show later.” i told them.

“do you even have our numbers?” ashley asked.

“ya ill get yours through taylor.” i said then walked to my next class which was english.

——————————————————————————————————

at the end of the day i was waiting outside for bob when gerard came up to me and started talking.

“hey so is it cool if me and ash meet up with you tonight?”

“ya its a public thing don’t worry if you feel like you're inviting yourself because you're not.”

“i just wanted to make sure, and aas for the after party whats going to be happening there?” he asked

“along the lines of?…”

“like drinking drugs etc?”

“oh i don’t know probably just the basic beer and weed?…… oh hey.” i said as i felt arms wrap around my waist and turned to see who it was.

“i was waiting for you.” bob stated whispering into my ear.

“oh sorry.” i said placing my hands over his on my waist. “i was talking to gerard, he and his girlfriend are going to the show and then coming over to your place.”

“nice to meet you man, friend of franks?” bob asked extending a hand out to him.

gerard shook it and smiled “actually we just started talking recently like very recently but yeah id say were friends.”

“frank i swear no one in the world hates you you're like friends with everyone.”

“that’s not true taylor hates me sometimes.”

“that’s just cause she loves you short shit. is she coming tonight?”

“when has taylor ever said no to a party?”
