Penelope

Birthday Time.

A/N: I really don't like the style of my writing so I think I'm going to stop the journal thing and just write in Penelope's P.O.V and occasionally do Gerard's. Sorry if you are upset about this change.

2nd period

Penelope P.O.V
As I walk in Amanda immediately started singing happy birthday, it's too early for this. Why can't I just stay home. When she's finished she hands me a black bag with white tissues paper telling me to open it and hurry up. I read the card first...

Dear Penelope,
Thank you for being an amazing sister! I'm so glad I get to be with you at school and hang with you more. I love you!
~Amanda

I set the card aside and take out the tissue you paper to see a vanilla cupcake with dark blue colored frosting and silver star sprinkles, it's really pretty but all I'm thinking right now Is i'm starving! I take out the cupcake and set it on the table as I go to give her a hug she says there is more.

I look in the bag seeing a small toy car like the ones you would play with as a kid.

"Open the car door" she demanded sounding excited. Students started to walk in, and as I open the car door a little green paper comes into view.

"One Hundred dollars? Are you serious?!?!" Speaking very loudly I spoke. "How did you know?"

"I glanced at your journal while you were writing the other day, I hope this means you can go buy your car now." She explained. One hundred dollars will get me my car alright! I'm going to go after work today! I'm so excited!!

"Yes it will! Thank you so much!" Best birthday ever. I go back to sit in my seat and I'm greeted with yet another happy birthday song by none other than Gerard Way. It's crazy how nice he is to me.

"Thank you Gerard."

"What's with the big smile this morning?" He asks me.

"Amanda gave me a hundred dollars, so now I can go buy a car I've been stalking."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you Penelope, but I don't think a hundred dollars can buy you a car." He sounds way too serious right now.

"Gerard I've been saving up for a long time for this." I say with a small laugh at the end.

"How have you been getting the money?" He gave me the most confused look.

"I have a job at Hot Topic, I've been working there for a while so I can save up money to get a car." He gave me a reassuring look then looked at Amanda for instructions on today's lesson, I did the same.

We have to practice drawing trees, which is my favorite thing to do so I finish in about 15 minutes and decided to check up on Gerard.  His looks good too, but he's not finished yet. He still has to do the ground and a few tree limbs. I guess this is a good time to eat that cupcake. I open the top and immediately a fresh vanilla scent flies through the air. I just realized how starving I really am, I finished it in about four minutes and it was a big cupcake! Gerard finally finished his tree, and it looks way better than mine! Drawing seems to come natural to him.

"You are really good at that" I told Gerard.

"Whatever, you're way better!"

"Oh okay, sure" I said sarcastically.

"I'm serious it looks really good!" Was he being serious right now?

"Well thanks Gerard." I managed to say while laughing.

"So when are you getting your car?" He asked me.

"Probably this weekend"

"What about my party??" He pouted.

"I'll be able to make it, don't be sad." I gave him a small smile. I haven't really thought about his party that much I guess it will be cool to meet his friends and hang out though. I am just such an awkward human being at parties, but Gerard is different. So maybe the party will be fun. I haven't smiled this much in a long time. It feels good to have a friend. Especially a friend like him, I've noticed I'm happier with him around.

Bell rings
Seventh period

I almost made it to the end of the day without getting pushed around, but on my way to seventh i was shoved up against a locker by some jock asking if I had time for a beating. What a way to ask someone if they would like to be beat up. I kept my eyes closed and managed to say a small no, he pushed me back harder and said wrong answer. Next thing I know I was on the ground with my wrists burning from where he was holding me back, and my head pounding along with stomach aching.
So much for best birthday. I just have to get through seventh period the bus and I am free to go to work. Now that I can get the car I need gas money, and I know how expensive that can be.

A/N: sorry for the short chapter, it's been a while since I've written. I'm getting really busy again too. Ill try my best to keep writing as much as I can. Thank you for reading.
