When Markers Met Drumsticks [andy hurley]

Hysteria

I couldn't stop thinking about that guy I saw passing the hallway. I want to hug him so bad, I couldn't stop having this feeling.

// *fasts forward to the end of school day* //

"Alex? Remember when I said that I also had a crush on this other boy?" Candice asked to me.

"Yeah, why?" I said, getting really curious about this boy.

"Well, I think I'm gonna tell you about him now. So his name is Frank, he's pretty much a short guy and his hair's a bit weird, but he's too pure and innocent for this world, just like a cinnamon roll."

"Awe, he sounds like a perfect person for you."

"Alex, please. I'm such a really bad girl for an adorable cinnamon roll like Frank."

(A/N : *alex deleon voice* CUZ I WANT IT BAD, I WANT A BAAAADDDD GIIIRL BABY BADD, eh?? the cab anyone? no?)

"Now, since I've told you who the love of my life is, I knew that you've been staring at some guy back at the lockers, who is he?" Candice asked me, she seems so curious about this boy.

"I don't know his name, he was just passing by and he just looks so cute, I wanna hug him so bad." I said, when my dad came.

"Oh well then, text me later, okay? Bye." Candice waved at me.

// *fasts forward to Friday* //

I got back from the girls toilet, and ran to class. I didn't I was ate to the next class.

I got in my class, ran to my desk, and sit as the teacher got in. Just in time.

It's Friday, I can go home earlier than usual. I can wait until this next lesson was over."

(A/N : this is true at my current school, we get to go home minutes earlier than usual on fridays. i hope none of you guys are jelly lmao)

As the teacher explains about boring things, I just realized that boy I saw, he was in the exact same class right now.

My heart began to beat so fast, I ripped a piece of paper from my notebook. Instead of writing a love note, I ended up sketching him instead.

I don't want my teacher to see me drawing and not paying attention, so instead of getting scolded I decided to hide the paper under my hands as my head laid down in my hands on the desk.

I ended up staring at the teacher explaining things about sciencey stuff. I started to get sleepy as the bell rang, finally.

As I got my head back straight on, I almost forgot I had a paper hidden under me the whole time.

I was putting my text books back to my backpack, and when I stared back at my desk, It's gone.

It appears that Candice took it, making that same sexy face again.

"I suppose this is him?" she asked me.

I sighed, "Yes."

"Alex! He looks so cute! I shipped you guys."

"Candice, please. This was just a drawing. It doesn't look like him so much."

"Whatever. Let's go."

I got home, put on my Absolution vinyl, and lie down in my bed. I've been listening to it for long now, and now it's already playing the 8th track.

I want you now
I'll feel my heart implode
I'm breaking out, escaping now
Feeling my faith erode

Those Muse lyrics just played in my head over and over. In my head, I sang those lyrics to this boy. I wanted to get close to him and stop acting like a creepy stalker. But I just can't.

// the next day //

I got up a bit late, because it's Saturday. I guess I'm planning to buy some records today.

I took a shower and put on my tee, and my skinny jeans.

After I had breakfast, I head to the record shop.

I saw a buncha new records, I already have Absolution and Meteora in my collection, so I decided to check out three new records. Blink-182, I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love, and Take This To Your Grave.

I've heard one song from Take This To Your Grave, so I decided to check out the whole album. And the reason I picked Blink-182 and I Brought You My Bullets is because, they sounded cool.

As I waited in the small queue, it began to rain outside. Shit. I knew I should've worn my hoodie instead of just a tee.

"Only these three vinyls?" The cashier asked.

"Yep." I answered, as I was holding my wallet.

I purchased the records and get outside the record shop. I stayed in front of the shop, waiting for the rain to stop.

Candice texted me as I was still waiting in front of the record shop.

candice < Hey, whatcha doin' now?
alex < i just bought some records. i'm currently waiting for this rain to stop now so that i can go home.
candice < Aw :( I wish I could help you, but I can't seem to leave my house now.
alex < that's okay, i'm okay to wait.
candice < Also, can I come over to your place sometimes? I really wanna check out your vinyl collection.

After that last text, someone approached me. It was him. The boy who couldn't get out of my mind.

To be continued.

(A/N : now you all are probably thinking, "oh, so that's why the cover was a record shop!" also, the next chapter will be published in like next month? bc i have midterms :(( )
