Chapter 17

As planned Mikey, Frank, Bob, and Ray were back in school by Wednesday. Mikey didn't have a fever over 100 on Tuesday so he was there then too. And Gerard was grateful. When Dustin and Jason saw that Mikey was back they didn't do anything.

"GEEEE!" Came the shout when Gerard and Mikey walked into school on Wednesday.

"Frankie Baby," Gerard said, pulling the shorter man into a hug.

"What's up, man?" Ray asked, pulling Gerard into a hug as Frank let him go.

"Nothin much," Gerard said.

"That's good. Well, come on we gotta get to class." Bob said, leading the way towards their Algebra 2 classroom.

___________________________________

Throughout the next two days Mikey, Frank, Ray, and Bob got more and more suspicious. They noticed that Dustin and Jason were constantly around. And constantly picking on all five of them, just not as much as Gerard. Dustin was still delivering notes, warning Gerard that if he told anyone anything he would hurt Mikey. Jason was pulling Gerard away whenever he was alone or left classrooms and repeated Dustin's words to him.

Gerard was getting more paranoid and jumpy. He had the hardest time fighting the bullies off. Bob could do it easily, they didn't bother him much Even though Frank was short, he could sass anyone. And it was like Ray could deflect anything. He could ignore everyone. Probably the Fro Gerard thought randomly in class one day. And Mikey, for some reason, didn't have a problem. Maybe a shove here and there but that was it. Gerard though, wouldn't talk back or fight back, this had been going on too long for him to even think about it. He used to in the beginning, but that just led to him getting hurt more. So he'd stopped.

Finally, it was Friday. They all walked out of the school and to the parking lot.

"SPRING BREAK!!!" Frank screamed.

"FINALLY!" Bob joined in.

The two did some sort of victory dance. Ray shrugged and joined them.

"For the love of unicorns," Mikey muttered.

"Come on. Movie night!" Gerard shouted over the singing.

They all came running and they piled into Gerard and Mikey's car. Gerard drove them to his house and they went inside. For about five hours they talked, played games, ate snacks until it was dark out.

"Horror movies," Ray suggested.

"Hell-" Gerard said.

"-Yes." Frank finished.

Bob went to the movie stand and pulled out a few movies. "Which ones?"

They all shouted out names from the ten cases that Bob was holding.

"QUIET!" Ray shouted, getting everyone's attention. As soon as everyone was looking at him he started talking again. "How about we each pick one and watch five."

"Yeah," Mikey said.

"Okay. Bob first, then Frank, Gerard, Mikey and finally me." Ray said.

"The Exorcist." Bobs said, putting the case on the coffee table.

"Halloween," Frank said.

"Sinister," Gerard told Bob.

"The Witch," Mikey announced.

"Annnd finally... Don't Breathe." Ray said.

They ordered the movie from scariest to not-scary and started the marathon.
