Ice cream parlour.

The next morning my first few classes went by so slowly, it was painful. I just want to get through this and then get to lunch time so that I can see Frank. Big shocker there eh? I know it sounds pathetic but I can't deny the truth.

Finally the bell rings and I don't think I can pack away my things any quicker than I am right now. I may seem desperate and I feel stupid about it, I shouldn't because I know that I can't help how I feel. I know it very deep down inside, yet I still do.

I get to the lunch hall, butterflies forming in my stomach. I line up ready to get some food, then I scan the hall looking for my friends, yet not being able to find a single one of them. In fact there's hardly any one in here yet. Maybe I packed away my things a little to quickly. I make my over to our usual table after I pay for my fish and chips, which they tend to serve every Friday for some reason. I have no idea why.

I have to wait about 5 minutes until someone turns up and joins me. That person being Frank. The whole of my body seems to jolt at the sight of him, I feel uplifted and slightly dizzy. The one person that I've been longing to see all day is finally with me, but now that he's actually here, I don't have a single word to say to him. Damn my brain and it's tendency to shut down in the worst situation it possibly can.
"Hey Gee!" Frank says as he sits down. It sucks. He never gets tongue tied around me. I'd sure like to get tongue tied with him though. Heh. No? Ok I'll shut up. Sigh, it just proves that we will never be. I just hold my hand up in a wave as a response as I feel my body deflate into sadness once more.
He pulls out a bag of skittles. "Is that all you're going to eat?" I ask, curious.
"Yeah my mum always cooks me a huge breakfast in the morning, so I'm never usually hungry by lunchtime. So I just bring a bag of skittles with me instead. Mainly because I love skittles, but also they give me the energy I need for the rest of the day."
"Yeah if I don't end up killing you before the end of the school day comes around. You were so annoying yesterday and I'm still finding skittles in my fro man." Ray says as he sits down next to me, along with Bob and Mikey joining us.
I laughed "oh my days, you chucked the at his hair? Have you got a death wish or something?"
"Well maybe a little bit." Frank replies. I just shake my head.
Then I realise he's already a quarter of the way through the bag. "Frank are you chewing those or inhaling them?"
With that I got given evils. "Never question what happens to my skittles. Ever." He says with a serious face and a deep stare. My eyes widen, and suddenly his serious face turns into one of joy. "I'm joking." I just nod in response not really knowing what to say. "Anyway, my birthday is at the end of this month. Yes my birthday is on Halloween, I know it's cool. So, as I'm turning 18 I want to get my first tattoo."
"Wait you're in the same year as me? It's weird we have no classes together." I say surprised, yet holding in my excitement, I thought he was as young as Mikey.
"Yeah even though I've been here two whole weeks they still haven't got my timetable sorted out. So I'm like in the library every day doing work from the subjects that we're forced to do. And having to catch up from the month I missed." He explains. I make a noise that says that I understand. "Anyway going back to my first tattoo. I want something that represents Halloween, but I'm not quite sure what exactly yet. Uh - and well - actually it doesn't matter." He puts his head down.
I'm curious as to what he was going to say, luckily Mikey asks for me, "go on Frank, what were you going to say?"
"Ok well I was wondering whether Gerard will design it for me?" He says rushing his words. My eyes go wide. "No I know it was a stupid idea I'm sorry, forget I said it."
"No it's not, Frank I'd love to."
His face lights up at my words. “Are you sure? Oh my God, thank you so much Gee this is going to be awesome.” He jumps up and hugs me tight.
I jut laugh in response, secretly enjoying his warm embrace. God I sound rather creepy when I say it like that. He let’s go, and I feel cold. Luckily the bell that tells us that lunch is over rings, so we get our butts to our next lesson.

Finally the end of school is here I make my way to the front of the school where I find Frank bouncing around by the gates. He’s obviously finished that bag of skittles. “Hey Gee!” he shouts as soon as his eyes spot me, which earns him a few strange looks. I finally reach him and great him with a grunt. ‘Very attractive’ I scold myself. “I was thinking, seeing as we both always tend to go to the ice cream place after school, maybe we can walk there together?” He sounds nervous. God knows why. I nod in response and we start walking.
Then I realise I haven’t actually technically said a single word to Frank since lunch. What the hell is wrong with me? “So other than Halloween themed is there anything else you want from this tattoo?” I ask, seeing as I couldn’t think of anything else to say. Damn my brain. I doubt it matters this time because some how Frank seems to get impossibly more hyper when I say it.
“Nope just Halloween. Oh and of course it’s going to be awesome having a Gerard Way original on my skin. I’m pretty sure one day, if I keep getting you to design my tattoos, I’m going to be worth a lot of money. They’ll make me into that weird woman from Doctor Who. You know the one that is all like ‘moisturize me’ like all the time. Just so that they can keep my tattoos to hang in an art gallery, next to all the other Gerard Way originals. Anyway I am talking far too much, I’m sorry.” He babbles.
“You really think I’m good enough to be a famous artist?” I ask, my heart swelling at his speech, slightly shocked. Also amused by his Doctor who reference.
“Well yeah, if I didn’t I wouldn’t be asking you to design my tattoo. You know, something that’s going to be permanently etched on my skin.”
“I suppose not.”

The rest of our journey was spent in silence.
