Like a spike in my heart

Art class

"Hey Y/N!"
Ray Toro, my best friend since 3rd grade.
Funny, Cute, extremely talented and he has a great fro.

"How was summer break?" He asked.
"Pretty normal" I sighed. "Tho I bumped into this cool person at the book store"
"Who's the lucky girl?" He asked, eyes shimmering like stars.
"Uhm well, it's not a girl this time" I muttered. "A guy?!" Ray exclaimed. "Really?!"
"Yeah" I smiled awkwardly.

Ray knows I'm bi. I've never dated a guy, but I've liked a couple during my time here.

"Do you think he goes to our school?"
"I don't know, probably, I think he's the same age as us" I replied. "I can't talk to him"
"Why not" he asked. "Social anxiety, remember?" I said.
"Oh right" he nodded.

"I'll see you at lunch!" I yelled as Ray went to his first class of the day.
I ran to my art class and sat down in the back.

As I was scribbling into my sketchbook I heard the door open.
There was no way someone would come 10 minutes early to art class, well no one except me that is.
I looked up and to my surprise it was the guy from the book store.
He had a bunch of comics and a sketchbook with him.
He looked at a piece of paper in his hand and then at me.
I turned back to my sketchbook.
He walked over to me and and sat down next to me.

There was an awkward silence between us.
I noticed myself drawing the boy.
I hope he doesn't think I'm a creep.

"Is that me?" He chuckled.
"I- uhm, yeah" I stuttered. "I'm sorry"
"No, it's really cool!" He said with a genuine smile on his face.
"Thanks"

Well that was an awkward interaction.
Wait, I'm sitting next to Him the whole year.

His black hair was beautiful and his nose was adorable.

"Alright, good morning students, welcome to art class" the teacher announced.

"Y/N! Over here!" Ray waved at me from under a tree.
"How was art?"
"That guy from the book store is sitting next to me" I sighed. "He's so pretty"
"Someone has a crush" Ray chuckled. "What's his name?"
"I was too nervous to ask" I said. "His last name is Way"
"Oh, Gerard Way, that black haired guy" he said. "He's in my math class, he's really nice"
"He is"

I took out my lunchbox and started eating.
"Look" Ray said, pointing to at the doors that lead to the cafeteria. "That's Gerard!"
"He's all alone" I said.
"Let's invite him over!"
"Uhm, okay" I sighed.

Ray waved at him excitedly. Gerard noticed us and came over.
"Wait, you're that guy from my art class"
"I'm Y/N" I said.
"Gerard, nice to actually meet you"
"I'm Ray, from your math class" Ray said.

Gerard sat down and took out his lunch.

"Do you have any friends?" Ray asked Gerard.
"Not really" He answered. "I do have my younger brother Mikey but he goes to a different school"
"Well you don't have to be alone anymore because we're your friends now! Right Y/N?"
"Mhm, yeah" I hummed.
"Y/N's a little quiet" Ray sighed. "But trust me, he's a nice guy"
