quick A.N. okay if you read this when the second chapter was first published, you'll know that Patty (Patrick) talks. Not to many people, but he does. But now I've rewritten parts of it to have him as a mute. Why? Because it better fit the ending I've picked out for this.
So now Patty does not talk to anybody.
Thank you for your time, and now for something completely different.

I woke up the next morning to Dan shaking me awake.

“Whaaaaaat?” I dragged out, causing Dan to sigh.

“You obviously smashed your alarm clock, so I came in here to wake you.” He gestured to the remnants of the bashed alarm clock. I let out a heavy sigh and rolled out of bed and walked sleepily over to the bathroom. I washed the sleepiness out my eyes as I splashed water on my face, and I brushed my teeth and got changed into new clothes for the day.

I ran a couple fingers through my red hair to untangle it slightly as I walked out of the bathroom and into the living area/kitchen, and as I did that I noticed a shirtless Dan with his back to me making scrambled eggs over the stove. I brushed it off at first, but then I noticed that the stove wasn’t on and the fire was coming from Dan’s hand. I stared as he extinguished the flame and slid the eggs onto a plate. And then he noticed me.

“Oh hello!” Dan said cheerfully he said as he cracked some more eggs into the warm pan, and he started another fire in his hand and held the pan over it. “Just making some breakfast. The stove isn’t working so I used my power to cook them.” I looked at the fire carefully. “I have a power over fire. I guess it’s one of the big reasons why Frank and I are friends.” Dan sighed happily as he stirred the eggs in the pan.

I walked up next to him and looked over at the gurgling eggs in the pan. And as I stood next to Dan, I could feel warmth rolling off of him in waves, and it felt nice. Especially since it was fall, leaning towards winter, so the days were getting colder. He looked over at me with a smile on his face, and moved the now done eggs onto a plate and handed the steaming plate of eggs to me. I took it and said a quick ‘thanks’ before grabbing some silverware and heading to the TV room to eat. Dan soon joined me, sitting across from me with his legs criss-crossed.

“Okay, Gerard.” I looked up at him as he spoke. “Today is your first official day of school, obviously, and you’ll need the supplies, again, obviously.” I nodded slowly. “Your first class is Astronomy, I believe, and they’ll provide the supplies when you get there. Your second class though, Art, you’ll need a couple pencils and some paper for sketching. Good news is, me, Phil,” His eyes went dreamy for a second. “Your brother Mikey, and Frank” My heart jumped. “Will all be in the same class!” I smiled wide as he flung his arms out in an excited way.

“So yeah. I’ll tell what you need for the other classes later. For now,” He glanced at a wall clock that read 7:46 AM. “Class will start soon so we need to finish getting ready.” He said, and he wolfed down his food before throwing the plate and the fork into the sink and scampering away.

I followed suit, scarfing down my eggs and carefully placing the plate into the sink, and making my way to my room and then I sorted through my stuff, trying to look for some spare pencils in my bags. I finally found some and slung a tote around my shoulders and stuffed the pencils in there. I made my way to the bathroom and checked myself one final time, before walking over to the door and met a very serious looking Dan standing at the door.
“Right. Ready to head to class?” Dan asked.

“Yeah.” I said, and Dan opened the door and walked out, and I closely followed him as we started our journey to first period.

As I walked down the hall, countless others walked past, and I even spotted my brother and waved at him as he passed me. He waved back and put his attention on not getting run over by the others in the hallway.

Once we were at the main floor, the design of it all changed from modern house-ish of the dorm buildings to castle in an instant. It was like stepping into a whole ‘nother world, possibly the Harry Potter world, because it was giving me Hogwarts vibes.

I stood there for a minute, looking at all the people bustling past me. I saw the white wings of what I am guessing was angels flapping as they took off, as well as demons and I even saw my brother take off as well. I saw some monsters talking to others with huge smiles on their faces, and some people were practically dragging themselves down the halls they were so tired. I even saw a dragon walk down the hall before taking flight. I looked around a little bit to see various animals running through the halls, people making way for them as they ran past to their classes.

I decided to try something out and willed myself to change into my wolf form.

Alright, fourth wall break here. You might be thinking, “Um Gerard, you’re a werewolf.” And to that I say, yes. I am in fact a werewolf. But I have the power change into a normal wolf at will. And the wolf that comes out on full moons is why I am a werewolf. Not to say that there are people out there that can change into wolves and don’t have to deal with being a werewolf, because there aren’t any. Changing into a rampant bipedal wolf monster on a full moon is a huge con of having this power.

I might have not explained it well, but I think you get the point.

I felt my bones creaking and groaning as they shifted around, and I saw my face get longer and black fur sprout all over my body (my clothes were still on me, they just couldn’t be seen and I could not feel them), and I dropped my bag as I didn’t have fingers. And as soon as it all stopped, I grabbed the tote with my mouth and followed my gut feeling on direction as I raced through the halls.

As I ran, I glanced over sometimes to take in more of the space around me, and one time I looked over my left shoulder to see the glittering lake I had seen yesterday on my tour with Dan. But instead of being empty, there was a person lying on the glimmering grass bank of the lake with his back to me, obviously asleep. By the looks of it, he was fairly small, and had almost golden red hair and a black fedora hat lay a couple inches away from his head.

That must be Patrick. I thought, recalling the things Frank said to me, and I bit my lip and turned my attention back as I kept running.

After a couple minutes of running, I stopped myself at a flight of stairs and bounded up it, surprising many people and causing a couple shrieks. But then they saw the tote and they laughed at their reactions to me. I would’ve laughed along with them if I wasn’t in my wolf form.

Suddenly, I stopped right outside a classroom door, and I looked up to see the words “Astronomy” written over the doorway.

This must be it. I thought, and I walked in the classroom to see students huddled around various tables, talking among themselves. Some of them looked at me with wide eyes, but then noticed my bag and turned back to their friends.

“Hello. Who might you be?” I looked up to see a person with very deep blue eyes and a long black fringe framing his face almost perfectly. Even though he was sitting, I could tell he was very tall, probably about Dan’s size. He wore a bright blue t-shirt with clouds on it and some black skinny jeans, and I could see huge angel wings unfurling out from behind him.

“Oh, sorry.” I tried to say, but all that came out was a bark. I sighed and willed myself to change back into a human.

I dropped the tote as I felt the creaking and popping of the bones as I changed, and my fingers grew and I felt my red hair grow back over my face. And I felt the person’s eyes on me the whole time.

Then, the creaking of my bones stopped and I knew my transformation was complete.

“Oh, sorry.” I said, and the person laughed as I picked up my tote.

“Nah, it’s fine.” He said, and he stood up, and I could see really how tall he was.

Wow. He really is Dan’s size.

He stuck his hand out. “Hi, I’m Phil. And welcome to your first Astronomy class, which I hope you are very excited to be a part of.” He said, and I recognized the name.

Okay, so this is the guy Dan’s so obsessed over. I thought, and I shook his hand.

Can’t really blame him.

“Gerard. And thank you.” I said, and Phil smiled.

“No worries.” Phil said, and the next moment he was gone.

He disappeared? My mind thought wildly, and I looked around the classroom to see that he wasn’t anywhere.

Shaking the thought off, I walked around a little, looking at all the students, when suddenly I was approached by someone.

“Hello. Are you in my class?” I heard a posh voice from behind me, and I whirled around to see an thin older looking man with some glasses balanced carefully on his nose. I nodded slowly, and the man brought out a clipboard and wrote some things down on it.

“You must be the new student, Gerard Way, then?” He asked, and I nodded again. “Well then. I am the Astronomy teacher, Mr. Krotki, or Mr. K if you prefer. Follow me please.” Mr. Krotki said, and started walking towards some desks at the back of the room, where nobody was seated. I followed him, confusion whirling around in my head. He stopped at an empty desk in the back, and I tilted my head at him.

“This is your desk.” Mr. Krotki said, and I gently placed my tote on the table and pulled out my pencils. Mr. Krotki bowed slightly and walked back to the teacher’s desk.

I simply sat there for a while, looking out over the heads of the students. I caught a couple eyes, but they simply ended with a grimace of disgust and breaking eye contact. More and more students poured into the classroom, sitting at their appropriate desk and talking to friends.

Suddenly, a sound of bells tolling a short melody filled the classroom’s air, and the sound of students rushing towards their seats played shortly afterward.

I’m guessing that’s the school bell. I thought, and I focused my attention back to Mr. Krotki who had now brought out a strange Earth globe and was standing in the front of the room.

Once the class had settled down into their seats, Mr. Krotki raised a hand. The whole class raised a hand, and Mr. Krotki smiled and put his hand down. The students followed his lead.

“Class, I have good news. We have a new student today.” He gestured to me, and beckoned me to come down, and I did.

My footsteps echoed throughout the silent classroom, bouncing off the walls and hitting me full force in the form of stares boring into my back as I trudged up there. Even Mr. Krotki was watching my every move. As much as I felt like changing into a wolf and running out of here with my tail between my legs, I didn’t.

I finally got up to Mr. Krotki, who then proceeded to lay a hand on my shoulder. I shivered at his cold but strangely gentle touch.

“This, class, is Gerard.” He said, and I smiled slightly and waved a little, and some of the class waved back.

“Right now, Gerard, it’s time for initiation.” Mr. Krotki said, and my stomach dropped as my eyes widened considerably.

“Oh, don’t be scared. Everyone in the school has to do it, and it’s painless.” Someone spoke up from the back of the class. “The initiation is to make predictions and see if they are right. For this class you need those predictions to be correct because they can affect your life sooner or later. But, so far nobody’s predictions in this school have come true. And I know that’s surprising, seeing how this school has been around for a really long time, but it’s simply not happened yet.” The same guy spoke up, and I silently thanked him.

“Thank you, Chris.” Mr. Krotki said, and the guy - Chris - nodded.

“You ready?” He asked, and I hesitated.

You know what? Fuck it. Yolo. I thought, and I nodded.

“Right. In three, two, one…” And suddenly I felt a finger press down on the base of my neck and the world plunged into darkness.

Notes

yay new chappy
dw there will be frerard soon im just figuring out how to implement it into the story
i have a couple ideas
oh and if there are any people from my wattpad sorry that i've been such a lazy ass recently i've spent a lot of time on here and on phanfic catalouge so i've been too lazy to update lol
yep
and also i like to write LONG chapters, more than your probably usual 1000 words each. I mean, this chapter was approaching 3000 words, and it could have easily surpassed 4000. Hell, maybe even 5000 words. So, the updates are going to be fewer and more time in between. Just a little thing that i had to say.

buh bye! :D
