Changes (Gerard Way Fan-Fiction)

Music lesson was amazing. Mr. Iero was amazing. I never thought that such a tiny person could have so much love for music in him. Ray and I argued about what kind of guitar is the coolest most of the time and when Mr. Iero heard he left the room for a second, just to come back with well..."Pansy". Pansy was, as he told us, the love of his life. A beautiful white Les Paul, I totally understood how he could fall in love with this thing. But the point was that he totally was on my side because let's be honest here: Les Pauls are just the most beautiful guitars ever.

"Ok, I know I told you I want you to meet my friends but let me tell you that they can be quiet...reserved." Ray said while we were on our way through the hallways, towards cantina. I nodd briefly, not knowing what to expact. I haven't seen Mica, yet but that's not too bad, to be honest. I still was unsure about her.
" What are their names?" I asked Ray, seconds before we finally reached the cantina. The smell of food hit my nose and made me stomach grumble violently. "Well, there's Bobert." he began which made me giggle slightly. I could tell that either Bob or Robert hated to be called Bobert. "He looks grumpy all the time but really, he's just a giant teppybear." I nodd for him to going on. "And then there is Mikey." My head snapped up suddenly. Might it be the same Mikey I met just yesterday and came along with just great. "A lanky guy? Glasses, blond? Kind of nerdy?" I asked curious. Ray looked at me with surprise written all over his face. At that moment we had allready reached the line for the food. It wasn't too long so we got ours quiet fast. "You know him?" he asked while getting handed a pack of milk and a weird looking mash that I wouldn't eat in a thousand years. "Yeah, I met him yesterday. Talked to him before he got picked up by his brother. He's cool, I think." I said while pointing towards the fries so the eldery lady behind the counter would give me some. "I see.." Ray mumbled. After I got my food he lead the way over to a table in the very back with two figures sitting by it. One of which I made out, was Mikey.

"Hey Guys, what's Ty." Ray introduced me to the two guys. I just nodd and made one of those awkward handwaves again. I really should stop doing those.
"That's such a Gee thing to do." Mikey said, giggling slightly. Ray and Bob, I guess nodding in agreement. "What you mean?" I asked puzzeld while sitting down infront of them, Ray sitting down right next to me. Eyeing his gross looking mash that is suposed to be eaten, I moved some inches away. "This wave thing. My brother does this all the time." Mikey said and I just nodd. I didn't know his brother, so it wasn't a too big deal for me.
"I'm Bob by the way. Don't even dare to call me Bobert even though I'm quiet sure Ray told you to." Bob mumbled, his mouth stuffed whit what I supposed was a chicken nugget. I gave Ray a playful glare as if saying "seriously, Ray?" and nodd towards Bob "Won't happen, I promise.". He nodd in agreement. "I like her, she can stay." and with that he focused on his food entirely.

"So..." Mikey said. "How do you like it here so far?" he asked after it got quiet for a seconde. I smiled: "I'm surprised myself but I acctually had a nice first day yesterday and music today was just as awesome." I started, smiling from ear to ear. Bob, returning from focusing on his food, snapped up his head and gave me one of those "what the fuck" looks. "What kind of person are you? Liking High school." It indeed was weird because I used to really hate school. Not only high school, middle school sucked just as much. Not because I got bullied or anything but because people just wouldn't deal with me. But I guess that is partly my fault as well because after time I just stopped trying and started being kind of happy with being on my own all the time throughout lessons and breaks. At least, that's what I always told myself. "I don't know. As I said, I'm surprised myself." I said shrugging. Maybe it was those guys, acctually being nice to me or maybe it was the way the teachers.... . Nah, I'm positive that I just liked the feeling of not being on my own for once.

Ray was about to say something but was cut of by someone from behind us: "Hey guys." a kind of familiar voice said. I turned around to find Mr. Iero. What's a teacher doing here? Don't they have their own cantina? "Tyler right?" he added pointing at me kind of rude but I didn't mind. "Yup." I simply said. He smiled a knowing smile, letting his hand fall to his side. "I knew I was going to find you with thouse guys. You're the type for it...or them." he said, not feeling awkward at all which I couldn't say about myself. The blush already presend on my face, Ray started to talk: "What's up?" he asked Mr. Iero as if they were close friends. I was wondering whether they all were because no one seemed to care that he just sat down on our table. "Just wanted to ask whether Gee's at home later. I would have asked him but I couldn't find him." he said nonchantly, now looking at Mikey. "I think so." he just said, still eating his food which he didn't enjoyed at all, as it seemed. "Allright, thanks." he answered, got up and was about to leave with a brief peace sign but not before turning around once more. "Mikes, you really shouldn't eat that. I've see Mrs. Burger spitting on it today." he added snickering. Mikey froze and let go of the fork he was about to put into his mouth. "What am I supposed to eat now?!" he yelled voilently after Mr. Iero, who was just laughting madly as he felt.

"What was that?" I asked when he was finally gone. Not that I didn't like him but it was still kind of weird. "You have to get use to it, his brother and him are friends so we're all kind of friends." Bob answered in between bites. Looks like he was the only one who was acctually enjoying his food. I nodd hesitant, starring towards the direction in which Mr. Iero just left. "So, you said you like it here." Ray stated to which I nodd briefly. "What's your favourite subject?" I didn't have to think twice for an answer. "Art, for sure." I answered, my mind going back to the day before. "Dude, you're smiling like an idiot." Bob throws in which made me blush madly. Did I smile? "Art hu? Who's your teacher?" Mikey asked curious, a knowing smile on his face. "Mr. Way." I answered shortly as if it wouldn't matter at all. The smile on his face got even wider, Ray and Bob wearing the exact same expression on their features by then. "Something wrong?" I asked, lifting one eyebrow. "No, not at all." Mikey said, the smile not leaving his face. "So Ty...that's your name, right? You are Ty, right?" he asked which was kind of weird but I answered anyway. In the end of the day, I only knew him for one day, maybe he forgot. "Yes Mikey."

Mikey cleaned his throat before he kept talking: "Well, what you think about Mr. Way?" he asked, supporting his head with both his arms as if listening to some kind of exciting gossip. I thought for a seconde. Well, he was a dick at first but comes out that he's quiet the opposite. Though he likes to act like an ass. "Well, I think he's nicer then he likes to act. Very artistic, had some great ideas about the drawing I did...not too ugly as well.. ." the last part wasn't supposed to acctually leave my mouth. That's why I slapped it shut immediatly afterwards. The three of them were too busy fighting against their laughter to notice my blushing which I was thankful for. The three of them shared a knowing glance with each other which made me wonder what they weren't telling me. "That's what we wanted to hear." Mikey said who finally stopped laughting or trying not to laugh. I acted nonchantly and waved it away. "Very funny. Anyway, I hope not to run into him...I kind of...messed with him when I last saw him." I added remembering our conversation after class. This time I noticed my own smile which fast turned into a slight giggle. The guys gave me a puzzled expression. "In that case, would you like to come over somtimes? The guys and I just hang out at mine and...my brothers every now and then." Mikey said. "What you mean 'In that case'?" I asked, giving him a suspicious glare but he ignored it pretty much. "Yeah, you should come. We're just watching movies and eating pizza. And Gee'll be super syper about having a girl in his house for once." Ray added which made them all laugh. I felt kind of sorry for him even though I didn't know him but I let it go. "Sure, I'll ask my parents as soon as I get home today." I answered after stuffing the last fries of my meal into my mouth. Even those were nasty. How can simple fries be nasty? They're just fries!

The break was over much too soon. Came out that Bob and I had EP together, so we made our way towards the gym together. He wasn't the most talkative guy but I liked him, anyway. I wasn't the kind of person that needed to talk 24/7 either, so that wasn't a big deal at all. As I prosumed, Bob wasn't a sports guy. He "forgot" his clothes so "sadly" wasn't allowed to participade for this lesson. I glared at him for letting me all on my own for one and a half hours but he just ignored it. Dick.

When I entered the room where me english lesson took place I was met with Mica who sat in the very front. "Hey." I said, standing next to the empty chair next to hers. "The seat taken?"
"Where were you at break?" she asked out of the blue without giving an answer to my question. I was slightly offended bit brushed it away. "I sat with Ray and his friends. They're quiet nice." I said smiling but the smile disappeared as soon as I noticed the glare Mica was giving me. "Did I do something wrong?" I asked with wide eyes. "You really like hanging out with those freaks?" she asked which caught me off guard. "Freaks? They're normal people, Mica." I said, not understanding what she was trying to tell me. "Yeah sure. Whatever." she said, not longer looking at me. "And to answer your question: Yes, the seat is taken, sorry." I lifted one eyebrow in wonder but didn't say an other word when I made my way towards the back of the room where plenty seats were still empty. The teacher, an elder man, entered the room only secondes later and the seat next to Mica remaind empty the entire lesson... .

..."Mum, Dad! I'm home!" I yelled as I entered the house after closing the door behind me. I had to walk again because Mikey had two more lessons until his brother would pick him up, so I just walked. It wasn't a problem, though I wondered whether my mother wouldn't pick me up. Sure, she had to take care of the new house and everything but she didn't have a job, so she was at home. Might as well pick me up from school. "Upstairs!" Mum yelled.
"Hey Mum, can I hang out with Mikey and some friends sometimes? They're really nice." I asked her when I found her painting the walls in a room that is supposed to be hers and Dads soon. She stopped painting and turned towards me, an all too familiar suspicious look on her face. "And who are those 'some friends'"? she asked. I rolled my eyes. I really loved my Mum, she was a wunderful person but sometime she slightly exaggerates the protectivnes. It's annoying, really. "Ray and Bob. Both my age, both not my type, don't worry." I answered putting my hand on my hips an a sassy way. Luckily, instead of lecturing me she just smiled which ended up in a small giggle. "You really are my girl, love. I'm happy you made friends that fast." she said to my surprise and came over to hug me tightly. I was taken aback by it but was happy at the same time. "Thanks Mum." I mumbled and made my way up my room to get my homwork done and text the guys that I can hang out with them anytime. This is going to be fun.
