Gerard's POV

It was Mikey and I's lunch period meaning I could have time to sit and talk to him. This morning, we got a boy out of his locker which he'd been stuffed into. His name was Frank and oh my God! He was adorable. He has black hair like me and beautiful brown eyes. I could go swimming in them for hours. What? I'm allowed to think that this guy is hot right?

Mikey and I were walking through the cafeteria hall when I noticed the amount of students. There were loads of groups, all who looked like they fitted together. But what I noticed is that there were never more than about 7 people in a group.

It seemed as if fitting in was impossible.

"You worried," Mikey asked.
"Yeah," I replied, looking at my feet. "I'm worried about fitting in. After everything we went through over the past few months...we need a group of friends that will accept us."
"Well you're in luck because Frank's coming our way,"

I looked up to see Frank walking up to us, "Hey guys," He said. "You wanna sit with me and my friends?"
"Sure," I replied.
We walked along to a round table where two boys, one with a 'fro and the other with a small beard, sat eating, "Gerard, Mikey, this is Ray and Bob. Ray, Bob, this is Gerard and Mikey."
"Hi," the 'fro boy said, "I'm Ray."
"Mikey," my little brother said.
"That must make you Gerard," the other boy, Bob, said, looking at me.
"Yeah," I replied. "And you Bob."
"Yeah."
Me and Mikey sat down opposite the three boys. We sat talking for the rest of lunch. I found out we all liked video games and drawing. We also had the same music taste which was extra cool.
"So what class do you have next," Ray asked.
"Uh... Music with Mr Screegus," I replied.
"You're in our music class," Frank said
"Cool," Mikey said, enthusiastically.
"Speaking of Music, we better get to class," Bob said.

We ran down the hallways to get there in time. We were lucky. As I entered the class, I was instantly amazed. There were vast amounts of instruments in the room with amps and microphones. Streamers hung from the ceiling and paper chains hung from the walls. It looked like a party bomb had exploded. There were eight other boys in the room. The teacher, Mr Screegus, who I hadn't noticed yet stood up, "Ah boys you arrived and I see Gerard and Mikey are here too. Perfect. They can work with you if they want. Everyone! This is Mikey and Gerard Way. They are new to our school so I want to give them a great first music lesson."

"So who are those guys," Mikey asked.

"Oh them," Ray started, "over there you have Alex, Jack, Rian and Zack. They call themselves All Time Low. Rian's a dick and we think there's something going on between Alex and Jack. And on the other side of the room, Fall Out Boy, you have Patrick, Pete, Joe and Andy. Pete is an ass and there was a rumor going around that him and Patrick made out in the janitor's closet."

"Oh..." My brother and I said in unison
"Come on," Frank said. He pulled us into a practise room where a drum kit and two guitars sat. Frank and Ray picked up the guitars and Bob sat behind the drum kit.
"You guys play," I asked
"Well yeah," Bob said. "Why else would we be here,"
"Yeah I was being stupid,"

I noticed Mikey looking around the room, "Do you have a bass anywhere," of course.
"Yeah," Ray said. He pulled out of a case under a desk. "Here,"
"Thanks," he started to strum it.
"Do you play anything Gerard," Frank asked. I feared this.
"Uh...no." I said.
"Gerard can sing," Mikey butted in.
"You can," Frank asked.
"No I can't. I'm a terrible singer."
"Don't put yourself down Gerard," Bob said.
"Yeah," Ray said, nodding. "If Mikey thinks you can sing then sing."
I sighed, "You want me to sing something for you."
"Yeah," they said in unison.
"I'll even play behind you so it isn't awkward," Mikey said.
"OK,"
"What should I play?"
"Play our song and join in with the harmonies,"
"Oooh," Frank said. "Original content."

Mikey started to play the bass and not long after I joined in.

The amount of pills I'm taking, counteracts the booze I'm drinking
and this vanity I'm breaking, lets me live my life like this
and well I find it hard to stay, with the words you say
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in
Well I'll choose the life I've taken, never mind the friends I'm making
and the beauty that I'm faking lets me live my life like this
And well I find it hard to stay, with the words you say
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in

And you can cry all you want to, I don't care how much
You'll invest yourself in me, we're not working out (we're not working out)
We're not working out (we're not working out)
And you can't touch my brother and you can't keep my friends
and we're not working out, we're not working out
This time I mean it, never mind the times I've seen it

Well I hope I'm not mistaken by the news I heard from waking
and it's hard to say I'm shaken, by the choices that I make
and well I find it hard to stay, with the words you say
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in
Well I'll choose this life I've taken, never mind the friends I'm making
And I get a little shaken, because I live my life like this
And well I find it hard to stay, with the words you say
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in

And you can cry all you want to, I don't care how much
You'll invest yourself in me, we're not working out,
We're not working out
And you can't keep my brother, and you won't fuck my friends
and we're not working out, we're not working out
This time I mean it, never mind the times I've seen it

Never again, never, never again

(and you can cry all you want to, I don't care how much you'll invest yourself in me)
ne.. never... never... never again
(and you can cry all you want to, I don't care how much you'll invest yourself)
ne.. never... never... oh baby let me.. oh baby... oh baby
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in
I'm knocking let me in
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in
I'm knocking let me in
Oh baby let me in
Oh baby let me in

Frank's POV

We stood there in shock. Gerard Arthur Way. He was amazing. He looked amazing. I didn't know what to do besides clap. My clapping turned into all four of us clapping and say how awesome Gerard was. This boy. This gorgeous boy.
Shut up he's straight.
"Oh please," Gerard said. "That was awful."
"Gerard Way! I cannot tolerate lying." I said in a motherly tone.
"Frankie's right," Bob said. "You were awesome."
"So was Mikey," Ray said.
"Thanks," the siblings said again in unison. They need to not do that.
We hung out until the bell rang for the end of school. I was asked to stay behind to talk to Mr Screegus.
"Are you OK Frank?" He said.
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Benny."
"Well if Biersack is still bullying you then tell'em that your Uncle Benny will come and kick your ass,"
"Course. Bye Benny."
He waved and I left. I turned two corners before seeing Biersack beating the shit out of Gerard.
"Hey!" I shouted. "Leave him alone!" I was breaking rule 23, don't be a hero.
Andy stopped and turned to face me. "Oh so King Fag decided to show up. Pitty. I was enjoying little Gerard here."
"Leave him alone. Beat me up all you want. You know that I hate it."
"Frank, don't take my punches. I had it coming. I ran into him when we were running after the others," Gerard was scared.
"No Gerard. You two just showed up. You shouldn't be made to hate it on your first day."
"Shut up Iero," Biersack shouted. He punched me in the gut and I fell to the floor. He left.
After a minute, I got up to see that Gerard had left. Not thinking much of it, I headed home. Hopefully Mom would have soup. It was what I had to eat after a fight. Rule 24, After being beaten up, have a can of vegetable soup. After all, you'll need it.
