School had been weird so far, E had told me about her cousin Branden or something and the fedora kid and Andy. I was planning to sit with her and some of our friends at lunch, and I couldn't wait for Mikey to meet his favorite MySpace account!
When I got to the lunch table everyone was already there except for E's cousin and Ryan. I figured they were off making out somewhere since E told me they liked each other. Some guy named Tyler who was just in my class was seated next to E's friend, Jessica. I didn't know they were dating or whatever. I sat down next to E.
"Hey where's Mikey?" she asked. I shrugged and got out my phone, "I guess I'll text him." Mikey where are you? I sent the text. There was no answer for the next ten minutes, and there was still no sign of Mikey.
"I think I should go find him," I told E, I didn't think anyone would notice I was gone since I was pretty quiet most of the time. E nodded and I left.
I pulled up the picture of Mikey's schedule that he sent me the day before school. He was in Grade 9 Math, Mr.Forest's class. It was a few doors down from the main entrance. I finally found it and pushed open the door to see Mr.Forest eating six orders of french fries while watching some cartoon. As soon as he saw me, he slammed his laptop shut and shoved the fries in his drawer.
"H-how may I help you son?" he asked. My mind still hadn't comprehended what just happened. "Uummmmm, I was looking for my brother Mikey Way... do you know where he is?" I replied. Mr.Forest shook his head, "No clue, I think he was just in this class, he left already though." I nodded, "Ok thanks anyway, I'll be leaving now."
As I left I saw out of the corner of my eye that he started getting his fries out and his computer to watch dora or something. I sighed, I wish Dora could help me find Mikey.
At that moment I heard a faint call. It sounded something like mikey, come over here! Or something like that. I looked around, the hall was empty. The call was coming from two halls down.
I had finally reached to see Ryan and E's cousin looking under spare chairs and desks for something. "Branden?" I asked. He shook his head, "No it's Brendon. Who are you?" "I'm Gerard...I heard someone scream my brother's name in this hallway. Do you know of a Mikey Way." I asked. Brendon nodded, "Oh yeah, we found him just now and he looked kind of worried. MIKEY GET OVER HERE SOME GUY NAMED GERARD WAS LOOKING FOR YOU!" He called. Mikey emerged from another hallway.
"Oh hey Gerard, what brings you here?" He asked, not sounding worried at all.
"Well you didn't show up to the lunch table like we planned, and when I sent you a text, you never answered."
Mikey sighed, "Someone stole my phone and ran away with it. Brendon and Ryan were with me and decided to help." "Oh it wasn't just someone," Ryan interrupted, "It was the meanest, most annoying kid in school."
"Who?" I asked.
"We'll tell you guys back at the lunch table," Brendon said, grabbing Ryan's hand and dragging him back to the cafeteria, "Let's go to the others."
"So how were the first few classes?" I asked Mikey as we walked. He was a nervous wreck this morning, and somebody had already stolen his phone. Mikey shrugged, "They sucked. As expected." "Did you make any cool new friends?" I pleaded, trying to get him to stop being so negative. He nodded, "Yeah, there's a few nice people I guess. I only made one friend so far though. He's in my band class, his name's Frank Iero." I patted Mikey's head, "He must be cool if he's taking band." "Yeah, I invited him to eat lunch with us." he replied.
We got back to the lunch table to see Tyler had gotten out a ukulele and his friend Josh was drumming pencils on the lunch table. Brendon and Ryan sat down next to each other, still holding hands. I sat by E and Mikey.
"OH MY GOSH YOU'RE EAZYCHEEZY!" Mikey screamed when he saw E, "YOU AND YOUR FRIEND JESCAT POST THE BEST MEMES EVER!" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU!" E hollered. Jessica started to scream too, some guy named CrankThatFrank started screaming as well, and all four of them were screaming about memes which I didn't understand. "I HAVE A MEMEPAGE ON MYSPACE TOO!" Mikey exclaimed, "IT'S CALLED MEMEKEY!" "OMG I LOVE YOUR ACCOUNT," CrankThatFrank screamed. E and Jessica nodded, "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE MEMEKEY! THAT'S LIKE MY FAVORITE ACCOUNT!"
"Anyway..." I started, I didn't want to break up their 'meme' happiness but I wanted to know about the person who stole Mikey's phone. I turned to Ryan, "Who was it that stole Mikey's phone?"
Ryan took a deep breath.
"His name is Jacob Sartorius."
