Let's Say... Mixed Feelings

I woke up with a fever, sweating profusely.
Kellin came over to my bed and felt my forehead.
I was overheating and yet I was freezing my ass off.
The entire morning before school started, I tried everything to bring it down, Kellin even poured a bucket of ice cold water over me.
Nothing worked...
Not one thing made the fever of 38°c go down.

I decided I couldn't go to class like this and so I lied on the floor complaining and asking life "why me?"
Not the most productive way to waste the few hours I had before my classes would start but I didn't care too much, I didn't want to face any of them.
My "friends", Frank, the teachers or any of the inconveniences of being a teenage atheist at a catholic school.

I got up off the floor when I was sure I had asked the question why at least a hundred times.
Yes, I briefly counted.
I heard three sharp knocks on the door.
I got down on the floor again and walked over on my knees to the door as I didn't think the person on the other side of the oak division would be important.
When I opened it I met Frank's waist.
I coughed, cleared my throat and immediately stood up.
Now face to face with Frank.
He giggled.
"I almost forgot you were taller than me for a minute" he smiled.
I smiled back and thought about yesterday.
"Do you remember what I told you uhhh, yesterday?"

Frank moved my hair away from my mouth and started cleaning up the edges, spiking it with his saliva as some kind of gel. He messed with my hair again and spiked my fringe while I narrowed my eyebrows at him.
I smiled slightly as he pointed at my shirt.
"You and your sex pistols" he chuckled. I know he was trying to avoid the question and I smiled back at him.
I pointed at his shirt as he too wasn't dressed.
"You look punk... Black flag huh?" I observed his shirt.
Frank looked down and gasped as if he had no idea.
"I totally forgot about getting dressed... Hang on a minute" he turned away and I rested my hand on his shoulder, begging him with my eyes not to leave.

He held my hand on his shoulder and came closer. I saw Kellin behind him, looking down at his phone and walking to our dorm. At that moment I quickly pulled Frank in, slamming the door shut.
I had Frank by his shirt, pressed against the wall. No way would I let Kellin see him walking back to his dorm, he would beat him up... And he would find out about us.
"Woah Gerard, I literally just woke up and you're all over me" he giggled.
I smiled and let go of his shirt.
"You have to hide okay" I informed him.
"What? Why?!" He raised his voice, sounding offended.
"Just do it!" I yelled.
Frank looked down and got quiet.
"Okay..." He whispered.

I led him to the bathroom and opened the door, I opened the shower curtain and roughly pushed him in, he almost slipped and hit his head.
"Hey! OWWW!" He exclaimed.
I closed the curtain and went back into the room, closing the door quietly.

Just as I came out of the bathroom door, Kellin walked in, smirking at me. I still had my hand on the door handle and made a speedy effort to close the door while staring at him with wide eyes.
"Fever down yet?" He asked me.
I shook my head.
I needed him out of the room as soon as possible.
Frank sneezed just as Kellin walked to his bed, I had to pretend it was me.
I'm not an actor...
Frank then erupted with a sneezing fit, he was doing it on purpose, I think he was doing it to punish me for not being open with everyone about him, it wasn't just that, I had my reasons.
He then started tweeting like a bird...
I had to do it as well.

Kellin gave me a freaked out look and picked up his back pack.
"You coming to class?" He requested, brushing his long, brown hair and staring into the mirror.
I shook my head again and walked over to my bed, I sat on it for a minute while Kellin stared at me.
"You're such a zombie dude" he laughed.
I smiled in return and turned on the TV.
"I'll drag you out of bed if you even try to play video games today" he warned, slinging the strap of his back pack over one shoulder.
I got really comfortable to show him I wasn't gonna move and he laughed again while opening the door.
"I'll see you at recess" he walked out and shut the door, the minute he was gone I jumped out of bed and stood at the bathroom door.
I put my hand on the handle and heard Frank talking to himself.
"oooooh, what do we have here?" He asked nobody.
I heard something plop into water and he giggled.
"oops" he mumbled.
I heard him fiddling around in the cabinet and opened the door.
He immediately slammed the cabinet shut and stood away from it with his hands behind his back.
I smiled at him and he grinned childishly at me, placing himself meters away from the toilet. I decided to investigate the toilet, which I had a suspicion made the loud plonk sound I heard before.
I was shocked to see a blue and green toothbrush floating around in the toilet.
I wonder how long he's wanted to do that to Kellin's tooth brush.
