Cool Kids

It was seven o'clock in the morning.
For Lynn it meant time to get up again after five hours of sleep.
Saturday morning ment they would have the studio to their own and they could practice with music. Benji and Lynn were dancing partners for several years. It was only natural for them to join compititions and now even the Us Open. It was a big deal for both of them and they trained hard. That was the only thing what made Lynn get up in the first place. Also she wouldn't know what to do in her spare time.
She felt light weight on her bed and heard her cat purr. Lynn smiled and streched her arms. "Time to get up" she whispered to the little animal besides her.

Some streets further Gerard, Frank and Mikey didn't went to bed and made coffee while their video game had to lode.
"Sooo..." Frank looked knowingly at Gerard. "What?" He took a sip of his coffee and burned his tongue. "How do you like Lynn?" "Ehm, she's okay I guess." Gerard said feeling the heat getting up to his face again. Mikey giggled and Frank raised an eyebrow.
"We all noticed how you looked at her. " Gerard inhaled the scent of coffee and sighed.
Yes he liked Lynn. She was sweet and he liked how she laughed. She didn't seem like everyone else. There was something special about her. But still she couldn't have interest in him.
Maybe in Frank, because of his tattoos that made him look like a bad boy and his attitude that wasn't bad at all or Mikey because he had his own way to make people laugh and always looked over the edge of his glasses. She could be one of those cool kids Gerard never was and never will be, never wanted to be. Cool kids don't want people like Gerard.
"She wouldn't want me" He looked into Franks eyes. "That's not true, man" Frank placed his arm around Gerard's shoulders. "You're a great guy and we all know that." Mikey nodded.
"Ya know what? We call her." Frank got up and texted Ray for Lynn's number. "What? No!" Gerard protested and almost spilled his coffee. "We will!" Mikey screamed and attacked Gerard trying to get his phone out of the pocket of his jeans.
"Got the number!" Frank snapped Gerard's phone out of Mikey's hands and dialed the number.
He turned on the speakers and tried to calm himself and Mikey down. They were dieing of laughter.

Her Partner and Lynn were about quiting earlier that day, because both of them were too exhausted to choreograph anything. It wasn't worth it.
"Bye Benji" she kissed his cheek. "See ya tomorrow." Benji waved at her as he turned around the next corner.
Lynn got out her headphones and wanted to plug them in as her phone started ring.
Unknown Caller ID. She frowned. Who could that be?
"Hello?" She heard giggling and schuffeling around.
A deeper voice mumbling something like 'shut up'.
"Hello?" she asked again.
"Hello Lynn, This is Gerrawd" a high pitched voice shouted and burst into laughter.
"Give me my fucking phone!" someone yelled. Some more weird shuffling noises then it went quiet.
"Hello" a breathless manly voice said. "It's Gerard. From the club yesterday."
Holy Shit. That voice. Lynn thought. "Y..yes I know I remember."
Silence.
"So.. uhm.. What's up?" She asked laughing nervously.
"Actually nothing. Frank and Mikey called you and yeah."
"Oh." Pause. "Well what did Mikey and Frank want?"
"Mikey! Frank! What did you want from Lynn?" She heard Gerard shouting through the phone. "Ask her out!"
"So uhm I don't know if you heard it?" Gerard was back on the phone.
"Yes I actually did.' Pause. "But if you want I can pretend like I didn't."
Gerard sighed. "Okay. Bye then. Sorry for calling you."
"No Problem. Bye" Gerard hung up.

That's it. That's the prove. She doesn't want me.
Gerard tossed his phone across the room. Mikey and Frank came back in.
"Did you ask her out?" Mikey grinned at him. "No" grumbled Gerard.
"Why not?" Frank asked. "It's not worth it okay?"
Gerard shoved past them into his room and locked the door.
Frank and Mikey looked at each other uncomprehendingly and shrugged their shoulders.
Gerard in his room started too cry from embarrassment and the hungover he had until he fell asleep.

Lynn looked down at her phone. It was twelve know time enough to do her groceries.
Why did she say that. She would've loved to go out with him. But it didn't seemed like he wanted to.
Like for real.
He hadn't spoken to her the other night and know he had called her, actuallay Frank and Mikey had called her. Maybe to embarrass Gerard?
She shook her head to let go of her thoghts and got in her car.
'No one would want me, ever.'
The little demon in her head said.
