Well would you look at that?

This story isn't done yet friends :) Honestly, I don't know when it will be so uh, just stick around I guess???

"Ugh. I had to rush around school to all my classes to get my Clearance Form signed," Gerard groaned into the phone, "It was so frustrating because most of the teachers were like 'I'm teaching class come back later' like it only takes 5 seconds. The people who are in that class don't want to be there anyway. Just sign the fucking paper so I won't have to come back."

"Hm," I hummed quietly. "When do you walk?"

"Monday... I wish you could go." He mumbled. I smiled and turned onto my stomach so I could just lay the phone on top of my ear, letting my eyes close immediately. "Me too. It'd be so cool to see my boyfriend walk across the stage to get his diploma in a cap and gown."

My last week of school was so uneventful. Barely anyone came and I just skipped all of my regular classes to go to old teachers I had missed (that allowed me inside their class). Even Brendon (I had learned his name from his energetic boyfriend that wouldn't fucking leave me alone) and Ryan didn't show up, though I guess that was because they were Seniors. They had already graduated - and so did Gerard.

"I'M FUCKING DONE!" He yelled into my phone when I called him, still at school but inside the class of my most favorite teacher from last year. I winced but laughed anyways. "True."

"Jesus! 14 years of my life - done and gone. Done and over with. Oh man, now I can go to clubs and drink and party and smoke and not worry about something affecting me at school because of it. This is awesome. I feel so free."

"Aww, I'm proud of my baby!" I cooed quietly, even sniffling to add effect. "Thank you," He chuckled. "Hey, school gets out for you at 2:20, right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Dude, something else happened today and it's kind of one of the best days of my life." He said quietly. "Well, the bell's about to ring anyway and then I won't be able to talk to you and it sounds like you have a lot to say to me." I stood up and put on my book bag and wandered over to the door. "Eh, not really. But I'll wait until you're done running to catch your bus." I could hear him laugh and I rolled my eyes. "Ha ha. I'll call you back in a few." I hung up.

"Frank?"

I turned around and smiled at Ms. West, who was holding out 2 party sized bags - one of Tortilla chips and the other of the plain Lays chips that Gerard liked. In her other hand, she had half a box of sugar cookies left. "Do you want to take this home with you? I don't need anything that's going to tempt my Mr., haha!"

"Woah, seriously? Hell yeah, I'll take these." She unloaded it all into my arms and I groaned. "Aw man. I can't hug you now." I started searching for an empty desk but all the desks in the front were taken by her students sitting on them. She laughed and said, "Aww, you're so sweet!" And hugged me anyways. "I'm gonna miss you!" "Me too."

"Hey, if you have Instagram though, you could give me your number. I'm taking some of these bad little kids to Panera this weekend as a 'Awesome job, you're a senior now!' treat." Even though she called them bad it was with a sweet smile on her face. I was so glad I had been one of her students. She was the coolest teacher in the school. Ms. West was only 5 years older than us, 4 years older than all the seniors, and even though she could be fun and sweet she could be stern and serious, and that's all I ever wanted in a teacher.
