The Soul Gem

Chapter Five: The boy is prettier than the lake

       "Ouch" Frank cried out. "I should really just put this thing in my pocket." He thought to himself as the gem surely burned another mark in his chest. He looked at his watch. It was about 1 p.m. now. Frank walked out onto a busy street. It was as crowded as on those stupid drama shows. He was going to leave as soon as possible. 

       Frank walked into a pizza shop, and ordered a slice of pizza. He had them break the 50 he had "borrowed" from his dad. He did plan to pay him back, but usally you ask first. Frank suddenly was overwhelmed with a burning sensation. He quickly took off the necklace and shoved it in his pocket, but it could stop the burning.  

       He took his pizza and walked out, but not before catching a boy with  working in the kitchen's eye. 

....

       Gerard winced as his gem nearly burned a hole through his jeans. This was the hottest it's ever been. He had just smiled at that young boy. Was that him? No, it couldn't be. He hurriedly finished the last of the dishes, gave Lindsey the rest of his money, and left. That was most definitly not him. Well, he was kind of cute. No! He couldn't be thinking like that. He could not think of anouther guy as "cute".

       The gem was slightly cooling down. Maybe that was him. Gerard shook his head. No, it wasn't. He still decided to try to find him, maybe follow him a bit and see if it was him. That was stupid. How was he supposed to know who he was. He wouldn't be able to tell if it was him or not.

       He turned left and tryed to push himself through the crowd of people. It would be impossible finding him here! Gerard turned back around and heading the other direction, running into a young girl on her phone. "People need to pay attention" He thought to himself. Finally, he walked into a park. There was a small pond with a few duck. He saw benches but it was who he saw on the benches that he needed.
