It started with nothing

And then, just a few minutes later, the headmaster, Mr. Toro, opened the door to history class, making his way to Mrs. Joethil. She raised her perfectly shaped eyebrow slightly but the moment he silently began to speak with her, her expression went from thinking, to agreeing and understanding.

“Mr. Iero, gather your things, you’re going with Mr. Toro.” She announced and motioned me to hurry.

Alright. I might be scared now. I glanced over Sammy, who had questioning look on his face. I shrugged my shoulders as a sign I had no idea what’s going on either.

The headmaster gave me a light smile and put his hand on my shoulder.

“Don’t worry, Frank. We just need to talk to you.” We?

He walked out of class and I followed him, when I stopped my legs, my heart stopped as well.

Gerard was leaning agaist a wall, looking into empty space… with lit up cigarette between his middle and ring finger. Motherfucker. The view was slightly overwhelming. Actually that is quite an understatement.

He came back to his senses, turning his face to me, smiling slightly. MOTHERFUCKER.

I felt a urge to sweep this fucking smile of his fucking face. With a pretty sharp knife. What does he even wants. Screw up the rest of my life that is still normal?

“I believe you cannot smoke on school grounds, Mr. Way.” I said angrily. My eyes piercing through the man. I could see he was surprised at my pissed off tone.

Mr. Toro cleared his throat, motioning to Gerard to stop smoking. Mr. Way rolled his eyes on him and – wait, did he just rolled his eyes on my headmaster?

“Gerard, please. We don’t want to anyone end up in trouble, do we?” Gerard? They know each other?

“Of course not, Ray.” Mr. Way smirked and dropped the cigarette to the floor and stepped on it. Dude, are you fucking serious? Here? What the fuck. Headmaster seemed to have the same opinion as me, cause he was looking on Gerard like if he could, he would punch him there and then. Since when is stepping on cigarette inside a building socially correct anyway.

“Mr. Toro, I apologize, but I thought that you were about to talk to me? If not I would rather return to my classroom, sir.” I so wasn’t staying in here with Mr. Inappropriate and his high self-esteem.

They both looked at me like I’ve just grown another head or something. Why are they so surprised I have my own voice? My family is screwed up in every way, but I’ve always known my place and position. And I was raised to make my point and stand by it. Even though I’ve never could do this at home, because any behavior like this towards my father would give me couple of rough beatings. Doesn’t mean I am not capable of it.

“Uhm, sure-?” Mr. Toro stammered. Gerard blinked still looking surprised.

“Uh, your father called, Frank.” Oh. Why?

“What did he want?” I couldn’t help but I wasn’t capable of ask with socially appropriate tone, instead I almost barked it out and shouted. Both of them were surprised once again at my roughness. Oh come on, do I look so innocent or what?

“He’s coming on business trip to Chicago.” I felt my mood getting better with every word he said.

“Alright.” I replied, trying to hide my smile.

“And he would like you to come with him.” WHAT?!

“Are you fucking serious?!” I shouted. I couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Frank Anthony Iero, behavior!” The headmaster cut me off angrily. Great. That’s just great. Then I noticed Mr. Way still standing there, studying me with his eyes like I was a painting.

“What does he want here anyway?” I motioned towards Gerard, once again irritated.

“Once again, Frank, calm your behavior.” I scoffed. Mr. Toro sighed.

“He’s here to pick you up and he’s going to mentor you at the business trip. I understood Mr. Way is already your supervisor?” I just hummed annoyed.

“Good. So please, if you would be that kind and stopped looking at us like you’d love to kill us if you had a chance, that would be nice.” I turned my head towards him, still looking incredibly bored, pissed off and annoyed.

“Okay, I tried.” Mr. Toro sighed again. Gerard on the other hand looked quite amused. Jerk.

I’ve tried to convince myself I am not angry at him for that bathroom situation, because to be honest that would be pathetic. But seeing him here all cocky and behaving like a jerk made my blood boil. And to be honest again, I was angry at him – for messing around with my head again. And he knew exactly what influence he had on me.

Mr. Toro noticed our little look exchange. First he looked a bit confused, then he looked like he came to some kind of conclusion and then he looked a bit pissed off.

“Gerard, a word please.” Mr. Toro said under his breath, clenching his teeth. Gerard looked a bit confused at first but then he looked at me with slightly worried expression and his cocky smile disappeared. What the hell is going on in here?

I was looking at my headmaster and Mr. Way till they disappeared in one of the empty classrooms. And that was the moment when I felt my phone vibrate. I put out my phone out of my pocket and looked at the screen. Amelia.

From: Liah
Time: 13:15
‘Hey, Frankie.’

To: Liah
Time: 13:16
‘What’s up Liah? Where are you anyway?’

From: Liah
Time: 13:17
‘At home. I was thinking about something.’

She was thinking about something? Alright then.

To: Liah
Time: 13:19
‘Okay..?’

From: Liah
Time: 13:20
‘My dad is leaving today, and my mom is leaving as well she’s having some long weekend with girlfriends. So I was thinking, you wanna come tonight?’

I sighed heavily. Oh great. Damn my father.

I was just about to reply when my phone disappeared from my hands. I turned around and met pair of hazel eyes. I got a bit caught in a moment, I stared in his eyes… and surprisingly I noticed they’re not anything like Amelia’s. Strange, the night in a club I was sure they were so familiar.

Unfortunately my little fangirl moment was interrupted by Gerard, who was angry again, and slammed my back into a wall. I guess he read the text then. Again. Nosy idiot.

“This is the last time I’m saying this, Frank, stay away from my daughter. Or you’ll have to deal with the consequences.” He murmured through clenched teeth.

“And get your shit we’re leaving. Now.”

Notes

So guys, it's not corrected, gotta leave to work so no time for that.

Also yes, this story is going slowly. I know. I just really don't like the stories when they see each other for the first time and instantly hit it off and then on the end of the chapter is something like "I think I'm in love.", and since I don't like clichés that's not going to happen here. Sorry.

The story is planned for more than 20 (or more than 30 idk yet depends how many fillers there will be) chapters so don't worry I won't just cut it off in one chapter. I have it all planned already and I know where it's going :)

And guys I just noticed this story has over 1,000 views! Thank youu!
