I'm so far away from you

It's 4:00pm and I'm walking out of school alone, suddenly I feel someone grab my hand, "Gerard you scar- Oh.. you're not Gerard." I say disappointedly
"Haha, ew no, do I look like him to you?" a tall bleach-blonde girl with tanned skin says to me.
"No.. You most certainly, do not." I say sadly.
"Haha, well I'm better baby. You know that.. You're really cute. Hey so am I! Wanna go catch a movie with me later?" She says putting her boney hand on my shoulder and tilting her head , grinning and showing her fake white teeth.
"Um.. Sorry no I'm busy tonight."
"Oh with what?" She says knowing I'm lying.
"I gotta go see my errr Gran."
"Hm well okay, guess I'll catch you tomorrow then" She says winking at me and kisses my cheek., then struts off.
Ugh I really hate girls like that.
I walk out side the school to look for my Mum and see Gerard stood outside on his phone.
"HEY GEE!!" I say clumsily, waving hugely and then of course I end up tripping over my own feet and landing on my face.
"Oh Frank are you okay!" Gerard says with genuine concern, he helps me up and pats the gravel stones off me, I help him.
"Yeh I am now" I say flirtatiously
Gerard doesn't get the memo that I'm trying to flirt with him and it goes straight over his head. "Okay good" he replies.
"Um Gerard, wanna come over to my place tonight.. You don't have too I just wanna show my Mum that I have a new friend, well if you'd call me a frie-"
"Yeh sure I'd love too!!" Gerard says super excitedly.
"Great!" I smile. Awesome.
I soon spot my Mum's bright yellow mini (isn't too hard) and walk Gerard over to it.
"Hey Mum, this is Gerard" I smile
"Oh hey there, kid!" Mum says
"Hi" Gerard says quietly
"Can he come home for dinner tonight?" I say in hope
"Yeh of course he can! Come in!"
Gerard and I get into the back of the car and put our bags between us.
"So Mum how was your job interview?"
"Great thanks I got the job!" Mum says starting the engine.
"OH THAT'S BRILLIANT!" I shout. YAY!
Gerard is quite quiet the journey to my home but he soon perks up when we are alone.
"Nice room" Gerard says looking around in awe.
"Oh so you do talk" I laugh
"Haha, sorry I just have quite a lot on my mind at the moment."
"Oh I'm sorry. What's up if you don't mind me asking?"
"Just.. Family stuff, my brother Mikey.. isn't doing too good, and my Mum is marrying this new guy who doesn't really likes kids. It's funny he forgets he was one once." Gerard says forcing a smile.
"Oh bless you Gerard." I reach out to give him a hug but he pushes me off.
"It's fine. I'm fine." He mopes.
"Okay, cool. So wanna watch a movie or something?" I say trying to change the subject.
"Yeh sure what you got?"
"Err, Nightmare on elm street.. or are you too scared?" I say challenging him.
"Ohh haha, me scared? NEVER! Let's get this rollin'!" Gerard say laughing.
I put the disk in and sit on the bed and press play. Gerard joins me on the bed and sits next to me, with little space between us.
