Gerard's POV
The school bell rang it self piercing everyone's ears.
'Onto math' I thought to myself. I attempted to get up however my leg was a sleep from the cold plastic chair. I grabbed my books and went to my next class. The day went shitty as usual. I was called emo, homo, faggot, and the other usual painful names. I got a few new bruises from the jocks. Even though I'm a senior I still get hell.
At the end of the day I grabbed my younger brother Mikey and drove him home. I noticed he had a hoodie on and looked pale. Once we got home I pulled him into my room and demanded he lifted his sleeves. In the past Mikey had self harmed so you know why I was scared. He lifted his sleeves and I found nothing but his scarred wrists.
I hugged him and apologized. Turns out he had the flu. "I'm sorry Mikey" I said. "It's okay Gee I know you were just worried." Mikey said hugging me tight. "You know we're getting a new kid tomorrow?" He exclaimed pulling away. "No I didn't know that." Great someone else to hate me.
(The next day)
I heard someone burst through the door. "S-sorry I... I'm late." A short boy huffed out to the math teacher. He must've ran to class. I don't know why though because the late bell just went off. "That's okay. Who's supposed to show you around school?" my teacher asked. My school has this chaperone thing where some of us are assigned to show new students where their classes are. The boy pulled a paper out of his pocket unfolding it and saying "Gerard Way? He has all my classes."
I perked up a little. I liked the way he looked. He was wearing a misfits t-shirt along with a black and red hoodie, black skinny jeans, converse, also wearing a lip and nose ring. "In the back. The one with long black hair and sketch book." My teacher pointed out. I blushed furiously. The boy walked toward me and I looked down at my book quickly.
I heard him pull out his seat. "I'm Frank." He stretched out his hand whispering trying not to interrupt the teacher. "I'm Gerard. Gerard Way." I said shaking his hand. I heard one of the jocks coo "Aww look the faggot has a new boyfriend." Then followed by a girl shouting "Careful dude he's a gay! He'll give you aids!" I turned my head away from Frank and stared down at my sketchbook waiting for him to mock me as well. He passed me a note, and I painfully read it.
'Gerard, Are you really gay?'
I answered it shamefully.
'Yeah, but I get teased a lot as you can see.' I passed it back scared out of my mind.
He read it and frowned. Great, guess I've got a new hater.
'Meet me outside school we need to talk.'
I nodded and stuffed the paper in my pocket. He patted my shoulder and handed me his notes to copy. I didn't notice the class was half over, and I missed some important test stuff. I whispered thanks and copied as fast as I could. I don't know why but I have a good feeling about Frank. I think I might be getting my first crush.
