Frank had his day started off well. He got an email from Brendon, that he’d meet Frank during lunch in the library for their first study session. Frank grinned to himself as he read the email from his phone before getting ready for school. He put on his dark blue jeans and ripped up Black Flag t-shirt. He put on his white converse and grabbed his backpack before heading out the door.

It was as warm as ever. He made his way to the school. Frank could feel himself smile when he heard steps coming up from behind him-Sammy made her way next to him, “My mom got mad at me last night because I stayed up, reading one of your newest fanfictions-when are you going to update? I really like it.”

“I’ve been a little preoccupied with reality, sadly. I have a tutor so I won’t be able to hang out during lunch until I get my grade up in math.” Frank sighed, “It really sucks.”

“Oh, well, what about after school? We can always hang out then.”

“I’ll let you know the days I’m free.”

“Well, there’s a party happening this weekend. And you’re not turning me down anymore, so you’re definitely going.” She chuckled before grasping onto his arm, laying her head on his shoulder. Frank grinned, “Alright, alright.”

The periods had passed by. Fitz’s class was the last one before lunch and it was relatively easy. Frank didn’t have anxiety knowing that Fitz wouldn’t call on him during the entire time. Frank left the room after the period ended, and made his way into the library. He didn’t eat because he was too anxious to see how this guy would be like. He was hoping he wouldn’t be some pushy guy who would get angry if Frank got something wrong.

Frank scanned the library, looking over heads and crowded tables with text books spread open in front of the teens. Frank stood there, looking for someone he barely knew. He paused when he saw a man with a math book in front of him. The man was sitting at a table near the window. Frank walked over to the far table and asked, “Are you Brendon?”

The man took off his glasses and smiled up at Frank, “And you’re Frank.”

Frank smiled a bit before pulling up a seat next to Brendon, “So, I just want to let you know I really suck at math so don’t expect perfection-”

“It’s fine. I’m in college and I get how hard school can be. Even in high school,” Brendon put on his glasses, “stress gets to you, it’s understandable.” He opened up the textbook, “So are we doing homework or tests?”

“We’re doing homework to prepare for a test.” Frank replied as he took out papers from his backpack. He scattered them throughout the table-but Brendon collected them all and placed down one, “One at a time, Frank.” He says as he grabs his pen, “Now, as long as you cooperate well, I’ll promise you that you will pass.”

Frank smiled to himself, “Thank you.”

Brendon glanced at Frank, “It’s my job, Iero.” He inched closer next to Frank, “Tell me what you know.”

Frank flipped through the pages, “I don’t know much honestly.”

Brendon grinned at Frank, “I suppose we’ll have to start from the beginning.”
