Vacation Doesn't Count

“POV Frank”

I woke up, before my alarm went off, it was still all dark. I checked the time 1:15. I knew I wasn’t going to fall asleep again any time soon, so I looked out of my window, and saw a light on in Mikey’s house. He seemed really nice and in a very good mood when he came over. I was probably going to feel shitty later on at school. Oh well. I wondered if Mikey had friends that would also like me, if he had any siblings, something about him seemed strangely familiar to something, but I couldn’t recall what. Somewhere while thinking about Mikey, my mind drifted off to Gerard. I had noticed the lights had gone out, now everything was dark and dull. The streets were only dimly lit by the lights on the street, other than that there were no lights anywhere, there was no noise anywhere. It was completely silent. Peaceful. I crawled back into bed and even though my thoughts kept me awake, my eyes were getting heavy and I drifted back to sleep. Later my alarm woke me up. I was still very sleepy, but got up as soon as possible. I hate moving, I hate the first day of school, and being late on the first day of school is definitely not my favorite, it makes me even more awkward. I walked over to my closet and grabbed a pair of skinny jeans, getting into them I hopped over to my chair to pull a plain black shirt over my head. I decided to skip my eyeliner for now. I looked at myself in the mirror while pushing my hair back so it looked like I did an effort, and to make it stop falling out of my face. I then sat on my bed pulling on my white converse high tops (I know, black and white, classy). I then walked downstairs quickly and grabbed a bagel for on the way. The ride to school was about 15 minutes, I kissed my mom goodbye and got in my car (I had gotten it right after the move since I was now 16 and it was a late gift and also kind of an apology for moving since my parents know I don’t like it). I thought about waiting for Mikey, (and if he had any, his siblings too) but I decided to get there early to check out the area of the school and get my schedule. I got there not too early before school started, only about 15 minutes, so I walked down the hallway trying to ignore people’s stares. I made my way to the attendance office and got my schedule, first period, English. I liked English, so that’s good. Second I had chemistry so that wasn’t bad either. I walked down the hall, turning right and left to make my way to English. When I got there I set my bag down about halfway an aisle, not in the very front seeming a know-it-all, but also not in the very back leaving a bad first impression. There was already a few people in the classroom, three girls were talking and I noticed they kept looking over at me, with them glancing at me all the time, I started realizing things I should have done differently about my outfit, like the fact my shirt was getting a little tighter and it I was in all black (besides my shoes) and I started to feel more uncomfortable. When I got out one of my folders to start writing down random things to avoid feeling uncomfortable I noticed Mikey walk in, he was a bit younger than us all, but he had skipped a grade, I found out a little later. He made eye contact and nodded toward me when he came in, then walked over to the girls and started tickling and hugging one of them. The guys were on the other side, they were just standing and laughing, loudly, and a lot… I was started to feel lonely already until Mikey walked over and introduced me to the girls, one of them winked at me (awkward) and I smiled back, awkwardly. I don’t exactly know what to do in a situation like that. When I told them all my name, Mikey looked kind of shocked, but seemed to cover it up really quickly afterwards. At that moment the teacher walked in and we all took our seats. The first day or two is all introduction to the material and people in all the classes. The one girl that had winked at me had taken a seat behind me and handed me her number right after class, the other girl, the one who had said nothing to me but her name was Hannah, she seemed really nice and she walked me to chemistry. We talked a little, but when we entered the class she walked to her other friends immediately. I had had my head down until attendance because my time awake was already really getting to me. During attendance my name was called out and as soon as I had called out I was there, I heard an almost silent mutter behind me saying “fuck”. I didn’t know why, I thought some people behind me were just having a conversation, but I realized I was wrong when I heard the last name on the attendance list. Gerard Way.
