Frank’s P.O.V
Gerard way was my guide; he was in all my classes and was sopposed ot now give me a tour of the school. I do have to admit he’s cute; he hs bright red hair and small teeth when he grinned. His nose also scrunched up when he did so; the most interesting thing is that when he talks only one side of his mouth moves. It was a little hard reading his lips when he talked but the more I am around him the easier it will be. I’m bisexal you see so yes I think Gerard is cute; I also liked how he told me that he didn’t know much about deaf people and asked how to help. It may not seem like much but it was an absolute nice gesture that he asked in the first place; many people would just either not ask anything and I would have to tell them sooner or later. Gerard could also have been a kid who did as little as possible to help and just get the tour over with; but no, Gerard was actually still talking to me while facing me and taking his time to show me aroud the school....That’s sweet...hopefully he will still talk to me when the tour is over.

“And this is the library” Gerard said turning and facing me; Matt signed right next to him and I just looked at both of them and nodded; It was like an other school libary, there was shelves of books surrounding it, tables in the middle and some computers for ‘learning’

“I don’t read books..well I read comic books but I usually come in here to hang with my friends” I could see he let out a laugh at the end and I smiled

“I guess that’s it” he ended shrugging his shoulders; we had seen a lot, the cafeteria, football field...Him also telling me that he doesn’t play sports, jsut watches horror movies, same as me. He showed me our classes as we passed by and told me which teachers not to piss off and what teachers cut everyone slack; he truly went full out with ths tour which I admired. Gerard and Matt both suddenly looked slightly up

“Bell?” I questioned and they both nodded; we certainly did take our time on this tour that we missed a whole period

“I guess it’s time to actually start school now” Gerard said but I could tell there was a sigh in there...That’s what’s intersting about being deaf, not just learning a new language but you have to read peoples facial expressions but soon enough that also gets you looking at all of there actions; from the way there head moves or their chest heaves with a sigh or mouth moves with a groan...it was interesting at first and it still is, I just kind of like it.

I follow Gerard again to our second period and he holds the door open for me and Matt; there was a couple of students already in here who looked up confused.

*Flashback*

It was the first day of school...and the first day of me going to a hearing school in 5 years; I was 9 years old and it was August and my heart was beating out of my chest as Matt who was driving his car parked in a parking spot and we both got out. I wonder what the other kids will think of me; will they think i’m the wierd deaf kid? Will they even try to be freinds with me with me? Matt guided me to the classroom and we walked in to be met with a class full of kids my age; I looked around at everyones faces and they didn’t know what to think yet. As far as they knew they probably thoutght Matt was a parent; but soon they will figure out that he will be here every day for most of the school year. We walked up to the teacher and Matt got her attention and talked to her; I saw them talking...I wasn’t so good at reading lips yet so all I saw was nodding and talking; I pulled my backpack up a little and held it tight. Before I knew it the teacher was kneeling in front of me; she had long blonde hair and blue eyes with a friendly smile. She started saying something and of couse I had to look to Matt

Hello Frank my name is Mrs. Pace, it’s nice to have you here; let me show you to your seat- Matt signed, I looked back to Mrs. Pace and nodded

“O-okay” I said, she stood up and I followed her to a small table that sat three other kids...oh it looks like we already had seating charts and name tags on the desk; I sat down and the other three kids looked at me funny and I kind of felt alone. Matt got my attention to alert me that the teacher had started talking

Since it’s the first day of school I want to learn more about all of you; i’m going to pass out papers and I want you to fill it out, okay- Everyone nodded and some were more focused on Matt signing then the teacher; she passed out the papers and I read the questions, there what you'd expect.

1.Name? __________
2.Birthday?_______
3. Favorite Color? _______
4. Favorite hobby? __________
5. Favorite movie? _________
6. What makes you special? __________

I filled out the paper quickly knowing what to put down already....Frank Iero Jr, October 31st, Mauve ( a pale purple), watching Horror movies, Stephen King’s IT, I’m deaf.

I truly thought that being deaf was special; I had gained a new language that I didn’t know about before and my sight has gotten stonger, seeing tiny details in things that some people won’t notice at first. The teacher collected the papers and the she said she ws going to read them aloud; I watched Matt as several people went by with their names and hobbies till Matt signed my name and I knew it was my paper she was holding. As she talked I looked around the class at peoples faces, some had no idea what mauve was and when the word deaf came up everyone already guessed it was me and looked towards my direction; I gave a awkward smile and they looked away. Minutes passed and we were all done.

As i’m getting the lesson finished I want all of you to make friends; go ahead and move around but please keep your voices down- Matt finished signing; I looked back at the room as everyone got out of their chairs and went away from me

Go and talk to someone- Matt signed sitting in a small chair next to me; I took a breathe and nodded going to a nearby table and tapped on a boys shoulder and he turned around to look at me

“Hi i’m Frank” I could feel the words coming out of my mouth; his face scrunched up and he said something...I wasn’t that good at reading lips but I know what he said ‘your voice sounds funny’

“Sorry” I said quietly, he just turned back around with some kids and I was left standing there my hands in front of me...It’s okay Frank, I told myself as I walked over to a different table and a girl saw me come over

“Hi i’m Frank” I said again and she looked at my hands as I spelled out my name and looked back up to me and pointed to her ears; I shook my head

“No I can’t hear” I explained, before I even knew it she pulled me closer and her hands cupped ouside my right ear; she was fucking screaming in my ear; I mean I coudln’t hear her but I could feel her heavy breath on me. I quickly pulled away and went back to my desk and slumped down; I saw the teacher talking to the girl and you could tell Mrs. Pace was upset. Matt came closer and looked at me

Are you okay? – I sighed and nodded
I know you just got here but you can still go back to regular school if you want

This is regular school- I signed back

You know what I mean- He replied, I sighed again

It’s okay, I’ll get through- I know I will
