~The Next Day~
I woke up to the sound of my favorite song at the moment, Down With The Sickness by Disturbed.
Ugh, a new school...great.It was very difficult leaving my few friends back in North Carolina. Now i needed to make new ones...great. As i got out of bed, i went to my drawers and pulled out a Metallica shirt i cut up for some type of fashion sense and a pair of jeans from the third drawer underneath that.
When I got out of my room and into the restroom I noticed Aunt Helena was already up making breakfast.
I walked in and placed my clothes on top of the hamper. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and began to do my hair. I realized I forgot my make up so I went back to my room to get the bag I had everything in. I decided to do my makeup in my room so I turned on my radio and set the function to CD. Automatically it began playing The Misfits and I began to hum along. Once I was done with my makeup I went back to the restroom and changed into my clothes.
I walked downstairs and smelled bacon making me go in there.
"Morning Auntie Helena." I said grabbing a coffee cup.
"Morning sunshine!" she said with a smile pointing at the coffee maker with freshly brewed coffee in it.
"Thanks" I said.
"You ready for school? " "Not really."
"Are you nervous? Excited? " "I don't know..I'm not so good at socializing. "
I recieved a mouthed out 'Oh' in reply.
About ten minutes later I went to get my backpack with materials and came back downstairs to put on my shoes. Five minutes after that, we left the house and started a drive to my new school.
~First Period~
As I walked into my new class, I heard the teacher yell at a student.
"Iero, take your seat!"
As I walked up to the teacher, he introduced himself as Mr. Glass, my new English teacher. He pointed at a seat next to this really cool looking guy and told me that was to be my new seat. I realized that i would be sitting next to the guy that was told to take a seat earlier.
"Umm, hi. I'm Serenity." I managed to choke out.
"Frank." that's all he said to me.
"Do you mind showing me around the school. Im new and I do-"
"No." he said coldly.
"I apologize for my friend here miss. He can be a dick sometimes. " I turned around and saw a guy with side fringes and glasses looking back at me.
"Uhh- hi. and I can tell. The name's Serenity, Serenity Adams." I said taking out my hand for a handshake.
"Hi Serenity. I'm Michael Way. You can just call me Mikey though." he replied smiling softly and shaking my hand.
I think I've found a new friend.

Mikey decided to show me around and he walked me over to my second period for art class.
"Well, here you are in your new art class. Enjoy yourself and uh..I will be back to pick you up so we can walk to lunch...And uh.. Umm..no never mind." he said thtblast part very cautiously, like if he were trying to warn me of something, but then realized it wasn't a big deal.
As I walked into class, I noticed there weren't so many people there.
I walked into the class and showed my schedule to my new teacher, Ms. Ferguson. She seemed a bit nicer and calmer than Mr. Glass, so this class should be fairly easy. As she showed me my seat, I noticed a guy drawing with so much intensity, that I was left in awe. From what I could see, he had messy, black hair and sat without posture. He was wearing what looked like a white dressing shirt and had black jeans with a pair of white chucks that were a bit dirty.
I was assigned the seat next to him. Ms. Ferguson tapped his shoulder and he looked up with a jump.
" Mr. Way, Id like you to tell Ms. Adams here our rules and expectations for the class. Also, I'd like for you to show her where to store our supplies. All in all,.just show her every thing you've learned about this class up till now." she said cooly.
"Umm..okay?" he said hesitantly.
He seemed a bit shy and overall, anxious. After faint muttering to himself, I got a bit curious and asked what he said.
" Who, me?" he asked with all innocence.
I giggled a bit at his response. "Yeah,you." My response came out sweeter than I thought.
"Oh..uhh..nothing..I was just mocking the teacher a bit. That's all."
"Oh, okay..umm..so.. my name's Serenity. What's yours?"
"I'm Ge-Gerard. Gerard Way." he stammered out.
After a few minutes of small talk, I found out he had a similar taste in music as I did, we both love coffee, we have a similar experience with socializing, and that he was -in fact- Mikey's older brother.
"So can we hang out later?" I dared to ask.
"Umm..I don't know Serenity.. I mean we only have two classes together and that's probably the only time I could see you."
He didn't understand that I wanted to hang out after school.
