Take A Good Hard Look

Take A Good Hard Look
Gerard’s Point Of View
First day of Senior Year in my new school. I’m not that ready honestly but I’m trying very hard to keep a straight face and hide my anxieties inside. Surprisingly, I haven’t had a panic attack since the last school year which was only about 1 month and a half ago but I will probably, most likely have one today. For the majority of the break I just stayed at home, drawing, listening to music and staying up late reading fan fictions about my favourite bands. Some of the fanfics are really, really sexual which I don’t really mind as most of my favourite bands are guys. I consider myself as a gay teen, who is 17 and is an introvert. On the break most of the guys in my school would be going to parties, getting drunk then throwing up everywhere that night and/or the morning after. Not really my kind of style. Alcohol, drugs and all that kind of jazz scare me quite a lot due to my anxiety. Because if I got drunk or got higher than the sky I would probably have a panic attack and die in the middle of it which myself and my family most likely don’t want. Anyway, it is raining heavily today and I have to walk all the way there with my little brother Mikey who is in the same year as me but doesn’t really hang around with me at school. Although, I think this year he genuinely wants to hang around with me which I don’t mind at all, I’m kind of glad. I don’t really know the way to our new school, but I’ll figure it out somehow.
-----
My first lesson is double art which I am really excited about, maybe too excited because I just love art so much. Mikey has a different time table to me as he chose different subjects to me, so I won’t be seeing him in much classes this year. But I will see him at lunch, luckily. At the beginning of school, most students looked at me like I was a freak because I’m the new emo kid who puts on eyeliner, wears dark coloured clothes and likes to keep their face hidden. I was definitely the odd one out. As I got to class I sat at the very back so no one payed attention to me. No one did at first, which made me relieved and made me feel a bit more relaxed. Everyone sat down in their seats and the lesson began to start. Our teacher looked passionate and nice which I really liked, hoping that she would like me too.
“Alright class, we have a new student here today who just joined our school.” She spoke and looked in my direction as my face turned as red as a ripe cherry.
“His name is Gerard Way and I hope you all will make friends with him as he has moved here all the way from New York.” She exclaimed while shooting me a smile, I tried to smile back but failed so I probably looked like a retard.
Suddenly, the door swung open following a guy who was obviously late for class. He was panting, but he actually looked quite attractive. His very dark brown hair made me intrigued and I liked what I saw.
“Mr Iero.” She said sounding ever so slightly annoyed.
“Sorry I’m late miss, my alarm didn’t go off and-“
“I don’t want to hear about your excuses, Frank. Now go sit down and I’ll talk to you after class.” She sighed.
His name made me even more intrigued. It kind of sounded sexy, but in an innocent way. Lost in my own thoughts, I quickly got snapped back to reality as I realised the mysterious hot dark haired boy named Frank sat next to ME. There were some other spare seats, but he sat next to me. Not that it’s a bad thing. Hell, he sat next to me!
“Hey, you must be new around here. My name is Frank Iero.” He said after putting his hand out to shake mine.
Was he talking to me? Or was that just my imagination? Nope, definitely not as he was waiting for my reply. Shit. I’m not good at talking! What If I accidentally say something stupid and then he never talks to me again? Shit!!
“Uhh- Hi.” I said while awkwardly shaking his hand.
“My name is Gerard Way and yeah, I am new around here. First day, actually.” He set me a warm smile which gave me butterflies. I actually feel kind of calm around him… but I’m not sure why.
