New Kid

Frank's POV


Another boring school day, I thought to myself as I sat on the bus alone, the boy I sat with yesterday was with the blonde girl and they had been giving me strange looks. When the bus arrived at school I went straight to my locker to get my books ready for today's lessons. I'd spent ages on my history essay and I read through it one last time as I walked to history class. I felt a shoulder hit into me and I heard three boys laughing. "Watch where you're going nerd" a tall one in a black vest said. "What've you got there" said another both of them laughing, I noticed the third one standing slightly further back and I realized it was the boy from my busy stop. One of them pushed me against the wall and grabbed my essay. "Look guys, we're in the same history class as him" I searched around the corridor and realized it was just us four. "Mind if I keep this, I forgot to do mine" the one in the black vest said. "Yeah.... I kinda do" I replied quietely. They all laughed and I ran off to Histrory. They followed and we all arrived through the door to the class room at the same time. "Boys! You're late" the teacher snapped at us "I'm very sorry" I replied, the other boys laughing at me, "All of you are in detention at lunch" he snapped. He handed us are slips and we sat down.


Next period was English, I hoped I wouldn't have to be with those boys but two of them were in my English class unfortunately. I heard the one in the black vest say to the one in from my bus stop "look Gerard, it's that same kid who got us fucking detentions". I pretended not to hear this but inside I was worried they might try and do something to me.


When the bell rang for lunch I went straight to hate History class room and I waited for the teacher to call me in whilst he was talking to a student. One of the boys from earlier didn't show up but the other two did, Me, the boy in the black vest, and the one called Gerard trudged into the room as the teacher stared at us. Finally he broke the silence, "Zack, I just finished grading your essay, I can tell you worked very hard, you may go." Zack walked out and Gerard rolled his eyes at him. "And as for you Frank I'm very disappointed that you turned up late AND you didn't hand in an assignment" "You and Gerard may sit in silence." I wansn't going to tell him zack stole mine. I've never been the type to snitch and I just really didn't care. I just wanted to make friends.


Our History teacher left after a few minutes of sitting with us. I turned to look at Gerard who I had sat next to. He had shiny black hair that partly covered his eyes and he..... Ugh why did I feel like I was attracted to some bully. There's no way he'd ever like me. He probably hates me!!! "Is that blonde girl your girlfriend?". Fuck. it just came out. I had to know. "Why do you care? It's not look you've got a chance with her" he said with a grin. Ugh. He was such an ass hole, but still, he was really attractive. I felt so stupid for asking him. He's obviously not gay and it's best him and his friends don't know I am. "When did you join this school?" I asked trying to start a conversation but just embarrasing my self. "I've been here scince the freshman year, we all have". I felt like that was meant to make me feel excluded. "I just want you to know I'm very sorry if it was my fault you got this detention" I said, sounding stupid. Gerard just laughed at me. He didn't seem as bad or as mean as his friends but there's no way he's be interested in me. The History teacher, Mr. Lee walked through the door and said we could leave.


When he I got home that day I felt so excited that I'd spoken to Gerard, even if he didn't like me, at least he knew me, I'm not sure why but it's like I was just obsessed with him scince I fist looked at him, I finished by English homework and photo copied it so if zack approached me tomorrow I'd have a spare. I couldn't wait till morning so I could see Gerard.
