Some Band That Was An Idea

Though maybe it was due to expectation, or maybe just pure impulse, but he couldn't help to punch Bert McCracken straight in the jaw.

"Frank—!" Gerard quickly yelled, a frown on his face.

"We need to go," he began, grabbing the other's wrist, "now."

The lump in his throat prevented him to speak as they quickly raced down the hallways of Belleville High School. Nearly getting stopped and detentions about three times, the duo found themselves panting as they stood in front of the music room. Gerard looked clearly pissed. Strands of black hair covered his pale red face.

"Frank, what the hell did you do! He's going to be grabbing at our throats!"

"Well, he was treating you like shit, so I might as well sucker punch him in the jaw!"

Gerard released an exasperated sigh before heading into the empty music room. Mikey, Ray, Brendon, and Ryan were already there, eating at their own respective lunches. The younger Way looked up, "Could you both not cause trouble, especially with Bert McCracken?"

Gerard rolled his eyes, Frank just buffed. Brendon chuckled, "If it makes you both feel better, I'll—"

"Don't even finish that sentence," Ryan groaned, shifting away.

"Changing topics, where is everyone else?" Gerard asked, sitting next to his younger brother and stealing a bit of his food.

"Pete got lunch detention, but I'm pretty sure he's going to sneak out since the teacher's pretty ignorant," Mikey replied almost immediately, "Patrick's coming in a bit. I don't know where Joe or Andy are."

"I don't know where Spencer, Jon, Dallon, and Brent went," Brendon shrugged. Ryan nodded in agreement as he lifted up a milk carton and began drinking it. The group of guys were surprised to see him immediately spitting it out onto Brendon.

"Oh my fucking god dude!" Brendon shouted.

"It's expired, what else was I suppose to do!"

"Not spit it out on me, obviously!"

"You got a little on me as well," Mikey hissed, cleaning his glasses.

"God, sometimes I even wonder why I'm friends with most of you," Frank rolled his eyes as he went to sit down to Gerard's left.

"Love you too, Frank," Ray snickered.
