Under a tree I see you watching me.

I smiled at Gerard, slightly being captivated by his wondrous, hazel eyes. "So what are you doing?" I say softly, pointing to his book of some sorts. "Oh, this," He said, scratching the back of his neck. I could tell nervousness was laced with his words.

"Its fine, you don't have to show me." I quickly replied to him. He only nodded then stood up to go somewhere. I glanced over at Lindsay who was conversing with Frank and Ray. I looked deep into Rays eyes and i saw something, just a hint of something. I couldn't quite pin-point it though. I shook it off. "So um, is anyone wondering where Gerard went?" I question, genuinely concerned. Did I scare him off? What if he hates me and thinks I'm to evasive? My thoughts where interrupted by a voice ringing through my ears.

"He probably went out to the courtyard," Claimed Frank, "I can show you where he normally goes, if you want." I accepted his offer and we excused ourselves. We took our time because we had 35 minutes left of lunch already.

We where walking in silence when Frank broke it. "So why don't you talk that much?" "I don't know, i guess I'm just shy." I knew that wast the real reason but i wouldn't dare to tell anyone my past. "Why don't I trust you?" He questioned. I didn't answer considering it seemed like a more self question.

After a couple more minutes, we made it outside and I noticed a familiar beauty sitting under a willow tree in the very center of the courtyard. "This is my que to head back," I looked back to Frank with eyes saying 'Please don't leave'. He chuckled "Don't have to much fun." He replied with a wink. I rolled my eyes and proceed to walk toward Gerard.

"Hey," I said from behind him. "Hey sky," He said, not even seeming the slightest bit worried. You know, considering I just walked right up behind him and all. "Wh-how did you know it was me?" "Frank told me you where coming. " He said as he pulled out his phone and held it up in the air of me to take.

I pulled the phone out of his hand and texted frank real quick.

Me: You bastard -Sky

I deleted the message so Gerard wouldn't know I sent it. After handing him back the phone I sat don right next to him. He was still engulfed in what looked like a sketch book. "Why did you leave?" I questioned. "Why did you come for me?" He replied. "Why not?" He just looked at me a looked back at his sketchpad.

I sighed and rested my back and head on the tree. "in reality though, why did you come after me?" He asked while putting his book and pencils in his book bag. "You left so suddenly so i needed to know where you went." He just shook his head and sighed. "Look we need to get back but i trust you," He reached into his pocket and pulled out something. "Here's my number."

"So do you always carry that around?" I puzzled, grabbing the small and delicate white paper.

"Not usually, I actually wrote it down and saved it for the end of the day but, hey here you are." He softly smiled. I blushed very slightly as I smiled back. We walked back and my smile never faded.

We walked back in the lunchroom at the very last minute. "Well where were you?" Questioned Lindsay. "I was just looking for Gerard, thats all. "OK then we need to go so lets hurry." Man this chick was a wrist grabber but oh well. She drug Gerard and me to our next class and I went through the same, pitiful routine of introducing myself.

After hell was over, I solemnly walked over to my locker. I shut my door when a face appeared behind it. "What the hell do you think your doing?" yelled a very angry Lindsay. "I don't even know what your talking about?" I said, talking in my normal voice. No more softness. No more weakness. "What so its hilarious to go flirting with people when you very well know that i like them!" My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "If its Gerard your talking about, i don't like him so he is all your and if you feel as if I had Flirted in such a nasty manner, then you can gently go fuck yourself." I harshly lashed back. "I would never ever do that to another person and it hurts that you think I would."

Lindsay looked shocked at my words but calmed down and apologized for being rude and that she jumped to conclusions. "No need to be sorry, I can understand that you thought I was untrustworthy. Well no need to worry." I gave her a warm smile then a hug. "Thank you for understanding." she whispered gracefully.

I don't know why but there was something about telling her that I didn't like Gerard and everything that felt like a lie. I was lying to my self. I look out the window and see the same man, in the same spot, under a tree, staring back at me.

~~~

Whale yeah, thats it. I honestly had to force myself to stop because I wanted something to make you want to read the next chapter. So why did sky regret telling Lindsay that? LOOK ALIVE SUNSHINE!
