I should have never been driving

I asked Gerard to come with me and my mom to Brooklyn this weekend coming, I mean I realize that schools in the way of the weekend coming sooner but hopefully if I just keep my head down this week will go quick enough.

My alarm was blaring as I opened my eyes, rolling over to turn it off I put my face on the pillow where Gerard slept, the smell he left was intoxicating. I groaned into the pillow because I miss the warm presence he gives. He had to go back home last night because of school and his parents hadn't seen him in quite a few days, I did offer for him to stay another night and told him that he was welcome to come round anytime. I slammed my hand down on the button of my alarm clock and rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom.
I pulled the shirt I had worn for two days over my head and flung it in the laundry basket. taking off the rest of my clothes I turned the tap on the shower and got underneath the release of warm water. I have physics with Ray first period, no doubt he'll ask me for all the juicy gossip like he normally does every Monday morning.
After the soap that was lathered on my skin went down the drain I turned off the water and patted myself dry with a towel and then wrapped it around my torso and headed back to my room to find an outfit that's going to fit both school and the the gig I have at the club tonight. As far as I'm aware the guys are coming to watch us play, I think Jamia is coming too. once I had got dressed, applied eyeliner and pulled on my converse I went down stairs to see if my mom had left for work yet. "mom?.. you here?" I called from the kitchen "I'm in here sweetie, im just about to leave" I followed her voice into the living room and waled over to the mirror where she was applying a coat of mascara "you look beautiful mom, stop fussing" I said ruffling my hair " thank you hun" she said looking over at me in the mirror and smiling.
"so mom.. do you think Id be able to have some money?" I said looking down and fiddling with the zip on my hoodie "what for Frank?" she said turning to me and wiping a small smudge of eyeliner that went a stray "I just want to go out after school, grab a bite to eat or something before the gig at Rays. she reached into her pocket and pulled out a 20. "That's the last one until the end of the week so make it last, okay?" she said smiling as she straightened her collar. Kissing her on the cheek I said thank you and turned to go and get my bag from the back of the chair and headed out of the door and made my way to the off licence to buy a pack of cigarettes before the bell went at school.
when I got to the gate I slid the pack of cigarettes in my pocket and walked over to Ray who was standing near the door playing on his game boy. "You really shouldn't hold that thing so close to your face you know, you'll go blind" I smirked, approaching him. "Tell Nintendo that dude, its not my fault they don't make these anymore let alone a bigger, easier to see model" he said never breaking eye contact with his console. "come on, we'll be late for class" I said dragging him through the doors by his sleeve.
We sat at the back in our physics class shewing the nerds away from our normal space. we sat down and the words I was expecting escaped Rays lips "did you sleep with him?" he asked looking around to see if anyone was listening in on our conversation. "I didn't, I'm not saying I didn't want to. It just didn't happen, you know.." I said in a hushed tone, in case anyone was listening in. "I get it man, but you like him, right?" He said leaning in, the way he always does when he wants information. "I do"
Our teacher walked through the door just as Ray was about to reply, "Okay, everyone... settle down and take out your revision textbooks" Ray pushes his fro away from his face and huffs "I need a hair cut" he says trying to tuck his hair behind his ears while retrieving his textbook from his back pack. "Fuck this" he said throwing his bag on the floor, He pulled the rubber band off my wrist and had a crack at tying his hair back. failing. Seeing he was getting frustrated I took the band from his hand and got off my stool. "lets see if I can do it shall we"
I pulled the curls back into a perfect man bun and secured it with the rubber band "Man... that's gonna be a pain in the ass to get out" I said sitting back on my stool and opened my textbook. "better?" I said looking up from the page to see a bright purple mark on Rays neck, before he had a chance to answer my question I pulled him close. "who the fuck gave you that?!" I said fully entrigued
