Sir Edward's School For The Supernatural

I awoke angrily to the ever so annoying sound of my alarm clock beeping it's head off.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep

Ugh, shut the fuck up!

I smashed down on where I thought the alarm clock was with my hand, and I heard a loud crash as my hand connected with it, and the beeping stopped, but I felt some type of liquid running over my hand and pain. I pulled my head out of the warm pillow to look at it to see-

Blood.

Of course.

And, as I looked over, the remains of an alarm clock.

I groaned as I rolled out of bed and walked over to the door, using my other hand to open it. I slowly opened the door, and instantly the warm smell of pancakes floated lazily in front of my nose, making my mouth water and my stomach grumble.

I pulled open the door to see Dan with his back to me, singing The Beatles while flipping pancakes. I cleared my throat loudly, making him jump and whirl around to face me, his face flushed completely bright red.

"O-Oh um, sorry... forgot you moved in." Dan stammered, his eyes darting all over the place. I snorted, making his face even brighter. "Uh I made some pancakes...?" He said, holding up a steaming plate of pancakes. I smiled and took them from his hand and grabbed some silverware from the counter.

"Thanks." I said, walking over to the TV room.

"No problem I love making meals.!" He called, and my smile grew wider as I fell down onto the couch and started to dig in.

Damn, these were pretty good!

"So," Dan sat on a chair across from me, his own plate of steaming pancakes on his lap. "Today's going to be a little weird, as I'll be showing you around the campus." I nodded, stuffing another piece of pancake into my mouth. "And you might be wondering, what about your brother? Well, his roommate is going to be showing him around also." I nodded again, stabbing another pancake with my fork.

We soon finished our pancakes and went our separate ways to go and get dressed. I just threw on whatever was first in my drawers (Last night I got unpacked), and headed over to the bathroom to make myself appear presentable. I brushed my red hair and brushed my hair and washed my face, the basics, then went and met Dan outside of the room.

I closed the dorm door behind me and locked it, and followed Dan down the hall and to the elevators.

And then our journey began.

---

He showed me basically everything, from the courtyard with one of the most beautiful ponds I've ever seen, to each and every building. By the end of it, we were walking back to my room, my feet sore and tired from walking, and I was about to collapse.

"Oh! Gerard, your classes start tomorrow." Dan handed me a little piece of paper. "If you need help navigating, ask a teacher a passing student. They may help you." I nodded and looked at the paper.

It said:

WAY, GERARD ARTHUR
GENDER: M
BEING: WEREWOLF

And after that it listed all of my classes.

“Thanks.” I said, and Dan nodded.

“Anytime!” He said, slipping into the dorm and I heard the closing of his room door. I sighed happily and walked inside the dorm, shutting the door behind me and taking my shoes off. I headed over to my room and flopped down on the bed, holding the schedule in front of my face so I could read it.

“Oh, Dan?” I shouted. Honestly I was too lazy to get up and out of my warm and cozy bed.

“Yes?” He shouted back.

“How full is the moon supposed to be tonight?” I asked, and I could hear his slightly confused state through the wall.

“Um, it’s supposed to be three quarters full. May I ask why?” Dan questioned.

“I’m a werewolf obviously. So I need to know these things.” I stated, and I could hear Dan’s ‘ooohhhh’ of realization.

“Right okay.” Dan said, and the room went silent after that. I yawned, and set my schedule down on the bedside table and just layed on my bed for a while, feeling my whole body relax in the comfy as fuck bed.

But suddenly, I heard a loud knock at the front door.

I jerked up, my ears pricked for more noises, but all I heard was the heavy footsteps of Dan walking towards the door, and then an exchange of hellos and an entirely different sound entered the dorm. I breathed in and smelled the familiar scent Dan, and another more unfamiliar smell.

There was someone else in the dorm.

Well obviously. My mind said, and I quickly shut it up.

Then I heard some thwumps as they sat down on the couch, and the two started a conversation that I eavesdropped on guiltily.

“So how’s it going between you and you-know-who?” The new person said, and I immediately liked his voice a lot. It was the perfect mix of deep and high, with drops of something just great created the perfect blend.

“Um, I don’t really know.” Dan answered, and I heard the shuffling of his feet. “I mean, each time I try and talk to him, he just straight up blanks me.”

“Well, he is quite the loner.” The person said.

“Um, Frank, I just want to say thank you for not running away from me when I told you about my sexuality and that I liked a guy.” Dan said, and my eyes widened. He was gay?

Okay. Cool.

“You are so welcome. I am always here for you.” This Frank guy said, and I could almost hear the smile in his voice.

“Aw, I knew I could trust you.” Dan said, and I heard him clear his throat. “I’m going to try and talk to him later, just some basic friendly shit. I don’t really know what to do, but I’ll just go with the flow and hopefully not screw things up.” Dan sighed.

“Yeah, I guess that seems like the best option right now.” Frank said, and there was a moment of silence.

“Oh, also, don’t you have a new roommate now?” Frank asked, quickly changing the subject.

“Um, yeah I do now.” Dan said, and I could hear them both getting up off of the sofa they were sitting on.

I quickly shut my eyes and pretended to be asleep (I don’t think Dan wanted me to know about this until he was really ready, and I felt kinda bad for finding out before he trusted me enough to tell me) as I heard heavy and light footsteps towards my door, and then a couple knocks.

“Gerard? You awake?” Dan said, and I groaned like I was just woken up.

“Yeah, I guess.” I said, putting on my best scratchy voice. I got up out of the bed and walked over to the door and swiftly opened it, revealing Dan and a shorter person next to him.

And my jaw dropped when I saw him.

I’ve known the fact that I was gay for a while, it just never really showed unless I saw someone REALLY hot. If that made any sense at all. Probably not much though.

Oh well, I’ll put it in the simplest way possible.

This Frank guy was literally ON FIRE.

I’ll have to fully describe him later because Frank was looking at me weird, and I realized I had my jaw hanging. I felt my cheeks turn as red as my hair as I closed my mouth and looked away from him.

“Well, anyway, this is Frank. Frank, this is Gerard.” Dan spoke up, and Frank held out his tattooed hand for me to shake. Not trying to create another awkward silence between us, I quickly shook his hand, and noticing his hand was a lot like Dan’s. Very very warm, but the only difference was the skin felt different. The skin felt hard and tough.

“Hey.” He said once we broke up the handshake, and I felt my stomach do the flippy over thing in my body.

“Hi.” I said, and Frank smirked, and I might have died a little on the inside.

“I thought I’d might introduce him to you because he might be over here a LOT.” Dan said, and I nodded, still looking at Frank as he looked back at me.

“Nice to meet you, Gerard.” Frank said, and I nodded again. He broke off his look to go and focus his attention back on Dan.

“Also, Dan, don’t you have some business to attend to?” Frank said, smiling slyly and winking at him. Dan flushed bright red, and quickly said a fast ‘bye’ before scampered off.

“What was that about?” I said, playing dumb.

“Oh, I think he’ll tell you when he is ready. I mean, he seems to really like you, as a friend of course, but he’s got a special someone on his mind.” Frank said, smiling a bit. I didn’t ask who it was, because I felt like I would invade some personal privacy.

“Cool.” I said, and Frank nodded.

“Yeah. I’m just trying to help him through this, and help me prepare myself for when I’m going to feel the same way about someone.” Frank said, looking out the window. I grunted in a response as a comfortable silence fell between us.

It was just me, Frank, and the silence between us for a while, until he broke it by speaking.

“So, how are you liking the school so far?” Frank asked.

“Eh, it’s okay. I’ve been told that my classes start tomorrow. Do you have any tips?” I said, and Frank put his finger to his chin in a thinking pose.

“Um, avoid the main halls. All sorts of people go through there, and it’s much easier and faster to go through the lesser used ones.” Frank said. “And don’t freak out when you see people flying overhead, because that’s mostly the angels and the demons, and Hell, you might see some vampires flying to their next class. I feel bad for the people who get clogged up in those tiny halls, and those who never get to experience the open sky right at their fingertips. It’s a great feeling.” Frank said, and I got confused for a second. Why was he saying this like he was one?

“Wait, are you one?” I asked, and Frank nodded.

“Why do you think that my hands were so warm when you shook them? Or why Dan and I are friends? It’s because I’m a demon, straight from the pits of Hell. But unlike my brothers and sisters who were less fortunate than I, I got sent off to this school were it is okay to be yourself.” Frank said, and bat-like wings started to uncover themselves from under his shirt and unfurl out into their full wingspan. “Dan and I are friends because we share one big common interest. Fire. And although Dan might not be one of my kind, he is still a great friend altogether.” His wings twitched as I stared at them in awe. They were a dark red, with the membrane a lighter red colour. The sunlight shone through it, making the whole room glow with red. It was pretty cool.

“Wow.” Was all I could say, and the wings then started to tuck themselves back under his shirt.

“Anyway, some other tips. There is a kid called Patrick, who is very strange. I’m not saying stay away from him because of that reason, I’m saying something else. He just sits by the lake in the front of the school, and does nothing. People wonder why he is here, because he seems to have no powers or is any supernatural being at all. But, I’ve heard that the headmaster, Sir Edward, is waiting for him to snap. But, I’ve spoken to Patrick and he is a very nice kid. So I do wonder, why does he have no classes? Why does he sit by the lake everyday? Why is the headmaster supposedly waiting for him to snap? Why is he even here? So many questions, so little answers. So, I am saying try and speak to him once in awhile. He seems very lonely.” Frank said.

“Alright, I’ll try.” I said, and Frank shrugged his shoulders.

“Yeah, but I’ve got the impression that he is mute…” Frank paused for a second. “Well, I don’t really know. I mean, he doesn’t speak to anybody, and he listens really well, but most people he totally blanks them out when they try and talk to him.” Frank said. “But I know one guy who really likes him, and yes, in that way. They just sit by each other during free periods in silence, and I can tell that Patrick actually likes this time he spends with his probably only friend. It’s really cute.” Frank said, including a little ‘aw’ at the end. “People have tried to interrupt their time, and if looks could kill, Patrick would be a mass murderer. I’ve seen his death glare. It’s terrifying.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I sorta started rambling.” Frank said, chuckling a bit.

I shrugged and smiled at him. “I don’t mind.” And I really didn’t. I liked hearing his voice.

“Really?” Frank said, turning to me with big happy eyes and a wide smile. He just looked so CUTE there I took a mental image and reminded myself to draw him later.

“Yeah.” I responded, smiling.

“Well, I think this friendship is off to a great start.” Frank said, and we both laughed.

Soon after that, Dan came bursting in, his face entirely red and he looked really embarrassed.

“Oh my God, Dan, what the Hell happened?” Frank asked, and I could tell he was trying not to laugh at Dan’s mixed expression of horror and embarrassment.

“I talked to him. He talked back. Then, some dickhead tripped me and I fell flat on my face. Right in front of him.” Dan said, looking down at the ground and trying to cover his face.

Now this time I was trying my best not to burst out laughing.

“Dan!” Frank said, suddenly kneeling over in laughter, his laugh ringing in my ears. It was beautiful.

“WAIT I’M NOT FINISHED!” Dan shouted, and Frank looked up at him, a smile wide on his face.

“What e-else is there to t-tell?” Frank said, his voice slightly shaky from laughter. Dan glared at him.

“He then helped me up and walked me over to the end of the hall.” Dan said, and he suddenly fainted.

“Oh no!” I exclaimed, rushing over to him.

“It’s okay Gee. Mind if I use that nickname?” Frank asked, and I nodded.

“It is really okay. He gets these where he just faints when he just experiences a lot of emotions at once, and his body can’t really handle it. The doctors said it wasn’t a medical condition, but one side effect to his power.” Frank said, and I breathed easier. “He’ll wake up soon. Don’t worry.” He said, and I nodded and went over to the open door and closed it.

As we sat on the couch and watched whatever was on TV while waiting for Dan to wake up, I reflected on what had happened today,

And wow. What a first day.

Notes

the ending was horrible but i had to end it here as it was fast approaching 3,000 words

so there you go a little glimpse at Patrick and his mystery friend (ooOoOoOoooO) and Dan's super secret you-can-totally-never-guess-who-it-is crush

so, frank looks like frank from black parade (you know with the little hair curl under his right eye or was that three cheers idk) and Patrick looks like Patrick from From Under The Cork Tree (he does wear his fedora tho) and his mystery friend looks like himself from 2007 and Dan's super secret crush looks like himself from 2009

yay
