a kiss goodbye | vampire gerard way x female reader

7. I Think I Like You...

it was finally lunch time, and i went to the bleachers as usual. when i got there, all of the boys were there. i looked over at them, smilling widely. but then i noticed that gerard was there as well. "why didn't he show up to any of the classes we had together?"  i thought to myself, and just as i did that, my gaze met gerard's. i kept on walking to the group, and sat down.
- hey.. - i said awkwardly, not really knowing what to say.
- wassup? - ray said enthusiastically, and i sighed.
- i'm good. i guess.. - i said, trying my best to not break down. i have to say, this whole day was bad. i didn't talk much to the boys, so i kinda felt alone. he nodded, raising one of his eyebrows. - what about you? - i returned the question, and he smiled at me.
- i'm great! i got an A+ in maths! - he said and i chuckled.
- hey i'm glad! good job - i said, high-fiving him. we smiled at each other, before going back to our food. ray, mikey and frank started a conversation between each other, as me and gerard sat in silence. i decided to look at him, and examine his face yet again. he looked pissed off. his eyebrows were a little furrowed, but not too much. his eyes looked sleepy, and he overally looked tensed up. i kept on looking at him, when suddenly he looked up at me. i jumped a bit and went back to my food, feeling embarrassed as fuck. suddenly i felt a hand on my knee, and i jumped again. i looked at the hand and realized it's gerard. i looked at him again. he kept his eyes on his sushi, eating it peacefully.
- where were you? - i asked him out of curiosity. he stopped his hand just as he was about to pick up some of his sushi with his chopsticks, and kept his stare at the food in front of him for a few seconds, before looking at me. his gaze was cold and i felt weird. we held eye contact for god knows how long, before he decided to speak.
- i felt sick - he said as his gaze went back to his food. i scoffed, and crossed my arms at my chest.
- what - he said angrily, looking at me again. he put his chopsticks down, as his other hand was still on my knee. i just looked at him with furrowed brows. he shook his head, and took his hand away.
- hey y/n, could i talk to you for a second? alone? - i suddenly heard frank say, as he stood next to me with his hand on my shoulder. i looked up at him, and then back at gerard.
- sure - i said, still holding eye contact with gerard, before standing up.
- great - frank said, and pulled my arm. we walked away from the group, until we were quite far away.
- soo... what's up - i questioned, putting my hands in the pockets of my pants.
- i uh...i wanted to tell you something.. - he said, scratching his head, and looking at his feet.
- sure, what is it? - i said, feeling impatient af.
- i... i think i like you... - he said, as his cheeks turned red and he turned his head to the right. i widened my eyes, as i couldn't say a single word.
- i.. uh... - i said, before i felt this weird feeling. i looked back at the boys, and gerard was literally piercing me with his gaze. i felt shivers down my spine. i shook my head, and looked back at frank. his face was even redder, and he still hasn't looked at me.
- i like you too. you're my bestfriend - i said, kinda friendzoning him. don't get me wrong, he's a great guy. i think i might even have a crush on him. but... I don't know. looking over at gerard made me change my mind.
- okay great. - he said, still red as a tomato, and we went back to the boys.
- what did you talk about? - gerard asked, angrily eyeing frank.
- n-nothing important. - frank answered his question with his gaze still at the ground, and his face red. gerard scoffed, and i just sat there confused. whatever. boys.

suddenly the bell rang, and we had to run to our classes. i had the next class with gerard, and i just couldn't stop thinking about him. making my way to the class, i felt someone's presence next to me. i looked to the left to see who it was. of course it was gerard. we just walked in silence, until we entered the classroom.

it was almost the end of the lesson, i was writing down whatever was written on the board, when suddenly gerard handed me a paper. i opened it and read it.
"wanna come to my house after school? the whole group's gonna be there. we're gonna do karaoke and maybe drink some beer." i smiled at the note and turned my head to look at him. i nodded my head, and he returned a smile. the bell rang and i packed up. i had only one lesson left, but i decided to ditch. i went back home and laid on my bed, exhausted from school. i decided to take a nap since the boys will be home in like 2 hours.
