Take A Good Hard Look

Frank’s POV
*Buzz Buzz, Buzz Buzz*
Ughh
*Buzz Buzz, Buzz Buzz*
Why is my buzzing at this time in the morning?! It’s 7:00 which means it’s early. I checked to see whose texting me and to my surprise it’s Gerard. Gerard! I excitedly picked up my phone and looked at the message.
From Unknown Number
7:03
Hey, it’s me, Gerard. I was wondering if you wanted to walk to school with me today? Mikey’s going in early and I don’t really want to walk alone on my second day. Also sorry if I woke you up, I know it’s kinda early. Oops :’)
I smiled at the message, re-reading it and smiling even more because of how adorable it is-how adorable he is. I set the contact as ‘Gee’. I was tempted to out a heart by his name, but I think that’s going a bit far as we only met yesterday. I quickly replied without hesitation.
To Gee
7:05
Hey, yeah of course I’ll walk with you. Where do you want to meet?


From Gee
7:08
Do you live near the school? I could meet you at your house, if you’d like:)
Bit forward isn’t it, Gerard?
To Gee
7:11
Yeah I do, hang on let me send you my address
While typing in my address I realised he texts back pretty quickly, but to be fair I do too.
From Gee
7:13
You live there?! I only live about five minutes away! I walk past your house when I walk to school! What a small world:))
I was honestly quite shocked that he lives that close to my house. But a good kind of shocked, it meant that I could walk home and to school with him.
To Gee
7:15
Yeah, haha! Meet you in 30?
From Gee
7:17
Sure, see you then:)
I love how Gerard uses smiley faces with the keyboard instead of emojis, I think it’s cute. And with that, I was going to walk to school with Gerard. And to be honest, I think I’m more excited than I should be. I stood up, stretched and walked to the mirror. Hey, beautiful, looking great as always.*sarcasm* I thought to myself while looking at my bed-hair and messy clothes. I quickly got dressed, sporting black jeans and a plain grey t-shirt. When I arrived in the kitchen, I got greeted with a freshly made cup of coffee. My mom is the best. Here she stands with my gorgeous cup of coffee, waiting in its flask for me to drink it up. I take a sip while my mom watches me and smiles. I sigh and smile because of how good it is. It’s perfectly made, just how I like it. And to be honest, I think my mom makes my coffee better than I make it myself.
“Thanks mom.” I say and smile,
“You’re welcome darling, now, hurry off to school and learn!”
My mom is always so cheerful in the morning, and I have no idea why. I’m the most cheerful when it’s midnight and it’s me, my music and my laptop. That’s my favourite. I don’t really understand why people actually like mornings, it confuses me. But, here my mother lies, all cheerful and happy and it’s 7:40 in the damn morning.
“Hey mom, I made a new friend yesterday and his name is Gerard. He just moved here and I’m walking to school with him, is that okay?” I shout from the front door.
“Yeah, that’s fine. I’m glad you’re making new friends! It’s wonderful!” She shouts back.
See, cheerful. And it’s the morning. I don’t understand it.
I step outside and I am acquainted with the cold autumn breeze brushing against my cheeks. Luckily, I have my warm cup of coffee to keep me warm. I swear, coffee saves my life. I wait outside impatiently but am quickly greeted by Gerard’s beautiful face. Wait what’s that? Eyeliner? This man is gonna kill me.
“Hey!” He called
“Hey! It’s so weird how you live only 5 minutes away from my house, don’t you think?” I began
“Yeah, but it’s a coincidence, but a good coincidence.” He smiled, and I returned it.
“Come on, we better get going. I’m gonna freeze my balls off.”
He giggled to himself, and I smiled.
