You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In High School
We Laughed So Hard It Would Sting
MIKEYS POV
Biology had been passing by smoothly. Things were good with Jennifer again, i think we had both tried to forget about the incident that had happened a few days ago and she also seemed a lot happier whenever we spoke. Most people had almost finished their assignments and had been handing it in throughout the lesson. We were to both write an essay together on organelles but neither of us found it easy to do so.
“Mikey and Jennifer, will your work be ready for the next lesson or will you need more time?” Our teacher, Mr Clark, asked us as he noticed we hadn’t gave him anything.
“I’m not sure.” Jennifer told him glancing over to me.
“Probably more time.” I informed them both. Jennifer smiled as I looked back over at her. It wasn’t just an excuse to spend more time with her, we really didn’t have much done on it. Although, it would be an added bonus.
“Ok, i’ll give you both two more lessons, but i don’t expect it any later.” Mr Clark replied. He was a reasonable teacher, I had grown to like him.
I felt Bob kicking on the back of my chair and relucantly swivled my head to see him winking at me. I tried to stop myself from blushing and rolled my eyes at him instead then turned to face the front of the class again.
“Everybody pay attention to me, I got the answer!” One kid exclaimed waving her hand around in the air. I had missed what the teacher had asked but didn’t care anymore, I didn’t pay much attention after that. Instead me and Jennifer whispered to each other arrangments for working together next.
“Are you sure you would be alright with that, I mean if Gerards going to be there?” She said in reply to me inviting her over again.
“Gerard won’t really care, and neither would I, would it bother you?” I asked her.
“No, that’s fine!” She replied smiling. “We really do have to at least try hard this time though.” She added obviously meaning I wasn’t to give up and read my comic books like I had done last time.
“I know, I know.” I reassured her. “You weren’t much help either.” I added playfully with a smile.
“Well, I’m sorry i’m not smart!” She giggled as she flipped her black locks out of her eyes.
“Don’t worry, I forgive you.” I teased watching her blush.
“Will you two stop whispering.” Mr Clark called over at us both before turning away again. For the rest of the listen i attempted to listen in and answer any questions. Turns out you actually learn things that way.
I had music next and it turned out Ray was in it too, Bob wasn’t in it though. He had mentioned something to do with home economics. Bob had a soft spot for cooking, I had noticed that at lunch he had always brought in his own baking to eat afterwards yet he would never share, not that anyone was really bothered.
In music our teacher Mrs Brown, asked us which instrument we wished to work on then just left us to it. Most people used it as a free lesson to do nothing, but Ray seemed really interested in it. He had went straight to a guitar and began playing something. I hadn’t heard it before though. I walked over and stood beside him.
“What song is that Ray?” I asked him curiously.
“Oh, its just something i came up with myself. Nothing special.” He smiled looking up at me.
“It’s really good!” I told him.
“Thanks, I didn’t hear what instrument you said you were working on.” He said waiting for me to answer him.
“Ah, well i just said bass. Even though i’m not very good.” I laughed at myself.
“I bet you’re just being modest!” He smiled at me. “Can Gerard play anything?” He asked.
“Actually he thinks he’s amazing on the trumbone.” I laughed as I told him.
“Wow.” Ray chuckled at the thought. “Can he play anything else?”
“He had a go at playing the guitar, he was even in a band.” I said trying to hold back a laugh as I knew how that ended.
“That’s so cool” Ray smiled.
“Yeah, untill he was chucked out because he couldn’t play it. He had been trying to learn Sweet Home Alabama but he was shit.”
“Oh, thats not so cool.” He laughed.
“Yeah.” I smiled. “Does Bob play anything?”
“Not sure.” He replied back. “You should see Matt Pelissier though!”
“Who?” I asked totally confused at this comment.
“He’s in our class, Mikey.” He laughed at me. Suddenly I remember the teacher calling out his name at the start of the lesson and saying he was playing drums. Drummers had to go to a different room as did the singers so nobody got distracted. Even though most people didn’t do anything.
“Oh yeah, So he’s good then?” I asked.
“Yeah! He’s amazing.” Ray grinned. “I don’t really talk to him though.”
“Who knows he might end up in some famous band when he’s older” I laughed.
“Haha, Who knows!” he laughed back. “Mikey?” He had stopped laughing and was stroking the strings of his guitar now.
“Yeah?” I asked him.
“What happened to Gerard the other day?” He asked looking up, “Bob and I were so confused.”
I felt bad for not telling Ray sooner. I had grown very close to him recently and he was a lot easier to talk to than Bob.
“Just Josh being a dick again, no change there.” I told him.
“What exactly happened though?” He asked confused.
“I..I don’t really know.” I truthfully told him. Gerard certainly hadn’t told me the full story anyway.
Ray didn’t ask anymore questions and went back to strumming on his guitar. I was almost as clueless as Ray was.
