New Kid

"Hi Gerard! Hello Mikey!" a guy waved at the school gates. I dropped my cigarette and greeted my friend.

"Hi."
"Hello Ray." Mikey greeted my friend with a happy smile.

"My best friends brother is nicer to me than my best friend." Ray tried to sound dramatic. I liked to mess with Ray, he's too nice.

"Shame."

"Yeah really a huge shame but I gotta go to my class." Mikey said, running down the hall.

"Did you hear about the transferstudent?" Ray asked me, already knowing that Mikey told me.

"Yeah."

"Are you excited?" and he knows that I'm always excited when someone transfers to this shithole.

"Yeah."

"What is so interesting about transferstudents?" I never told anyone but it's not a secret, no one just really cares.

"Well everyone knows me and I want to be the first guy who's name they'll remember, and besides it's pretty fucking weird that anyone would move to Oddmound so..."
"Okay I see your point." Ray agrees with me, as always.

"Yeah."

"He's in our class." Ray said.
"Oh yeah?" This sounds interesting.

"Are you excited?"
"Fuck yeah!"

We stepped into the classroom and I glanced around the room trying to find a new face, and there it was in the back of the class, of course there was a seat open next to him, everyone knows that I'll meet new people first.

"See you, Ray." I said to Ray walking to the new student.
"Good luck."
"I don't need luck." I turned my head and winked to him.

I sat down next to a boy who had dark brown shoulder length hair and hazel eyes, he was tanned and he had pink lips. He looked at me straight in the eyes and smiled, which means he isn't shy.

"Hi, I'm Gerard." I smiled warmly to him.
"I'm Frank, hello." okay next you gotta ask him something.

"What made you move to Oddmound?" this is going well.
"A thing called mom." I made an awkward smile, this is going to be hard.

"So uh... wanna hang out after school?" you better say yes, Frankie boy.
"Nah... I still have alot to unpack." he just doesn't seem to get, how the hell does this happen to me?

"How about lunch?"

"I have to go meet the principal." really dude? Is he avoiding me? But why would he avoid me?
"Are you avoiding me?" I said louder than I meant, which made everyone look at me, including the teacher.
"Is there a problem Way?" the teacher raised his eyebrows.
"No."
"Very well, do not disturb the class then." he smiled to me and turned back to the black board. I sighed and looked down at my hands.


"I'm not avoiding you. We can hang out tomorrow, Way." Frank whispered to me.
