In my 16 years of life, this was the hottest I've ever been.

It is 103 degrees Fahrenheit in Annapolis, Maryland. Way too hot for me. I could probably fry an egg on the sidewalk. Compared to my old town in Nevada, this was burning my skin off.

"Can we please turn up the air conditioner, Mom?" I requested to my mom, in hopes of finally making the humid moving truck cooler.

She sighed. "Gerard, it's the highest it can go, I'm sorry I wish it was cooler too" she responded, giving me a shy smile. "We are ten minutes away though!"

I happily cheered to the point where the minivan next to us full of children looked over, including the parents.

I looked away, rolled up the window, and as if on cue, my mom rode faster. Well that was embarrassing.

I put in my earbuds and feel asleep for a little bit, until I woke up to my mom ripping my earbuds out of my ear singing "WE'RE HERE!!"

"JESUS CHRIST MOM. WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE MURDERED TODAY?!" I screeched, flipping my dark brown hair out of my eyes.

"Not particularly, but look at this house!"

Following her gaze, I looked over and saw I beautiful two story house, with purple shutters and white walls on the outside. It wasn't much, but better than the houses I have had in the past. I couldn't help but let my jaw drop.

"This is amazing, Mom! I love it." I said, then running up to the house in excitement. I plopped down on the grass and laid down. Maybe I can get a redo on my life moving here!

I closed my eyes and sat there for a few minutes, surprised my mom didn't wake me up yet.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and opened my eyes to see a boy with black hair and beautiful hazel eyes standing over me. He looked about my age, probably in the same grade as me, junior year of high school.

"Hey, are you ok?" said the black haired boy, reaching out his hand to pull me up.

I took his hand and he helped me up. I responded with "Yeah I'm okay, just chilling on the lawn here."

The boy laughed. "What's your name? " he questioned, "my name is Frank, I live across the street from here. Did you just move in?"

"Yeah I did, my name is Gerard, Gerard Way" I said shyly. I didn't know what else to say, I felt really anxious and nervous inside.

"Nice to meet you, Gerard!" Frank said, holding out his hand to shake it. I shook his hand we made eye contact.

His eyes were so brown and angelic up close.

Wow.

"FRANK!!! TIME FOR DINNER!!" Said some voice from what I'm guessing in Frank's house.

"Sorry I have to go, but I'll see you around!" Frank let go of my hand and ran across the street in to his house.

Now what will happen next? I can't say.
