The Band Boy

The Thing

*Same Day*

Ugh, I hate science. We combine chemistry and biology to make on huge pain in the ass. The best part of biology is  that i don't have a lab parter. I get to sit in the back of the class doodling.

But of course, my llonliness was disturbed by none other than Frank. He spent the entire period poking me with a pencil for no apparent reason. When I turned to ask what he wanted, he simply shrugged and continued.

As i started my drawing, I had realized I was drawing a band playing on stage. Through the process, I had finally seen that the lines coming out of my pencil had created a concert at the park, with speakers, and trees, and a band called Anthrax playing. I really want to go now.

" So we have an Anthrax fan, huh?" Frank asked

" No, I draw everything i hate." Note sarcasm.

" Ok, no need to get fiesty. But I was going to say that I like them too. I heard that they agreed to play in Central Park on friday."

" You heard correct. Are you going?" I asked.

" Wow, no need to beg." He laughed and i punched his shoulder.

" Well I was just trying to reply to you."

" But I guess i'll go."

" Cool." I got up and left class, as the bell had rung.

~~~Lunch~~~~

" Hey Kat." I whispered, even though we were alone at our table.

" OMG She has a voice!" Tristan laughed at me. I don't talk very often.

" Shut up tray, what?" She turned to me. Tray is what we call Tristan sometimes.

" I think I'll go to the gig." I bit my lip and waited for her squeal. On cue, she let out a high pitched 'eep' followed by a bear hug.

" I don't like being touched." I said barely audible.

" Sucks for you cause I'm hugging you!" She began to rub her arms down mine.

" Oh, and there are a couple of people we have to meet there." I added.

" Shit, why?" She immediatly frowned, waiting for the catch.

" Not much, just a couple guys who're in my classes. I guess we're friends."

" Ohh a couple of  guyyysss. And does Raine likke one of theemmm??" She slurred.

" Friends. I told Mikey i'd go, and i asked Frank if he was."

" Wow, so when I ask you to go, you're worried about getting in trouble. When this Mikey guy asks, its suddenly ' Of course ill go! ANYTHING FOR YOU!'" 

" Oh, shut up. Mikey asked me if i was going, and I thought ' maybe i should' so i said yes." Even though Mikey doesn't have many facial expressions, when he looks sad, you want to hug him and tell him that everything's okay.

" Oh hey, Raine." A familiar male voice called out.

" Hey, Frank." I realizeds it was him and calmed down.

" How's it going?" He slung an arm around my shoulders.

" You're so going just for Mikey." Kat laughed, not noticing Frank.

" Who's Mikey?" He asked.

" A guy who lives across from me. I told him i'd go to see Anthrax." I rolled my eyes.

" Oh, so i'm not that special anymore?" He 'pouted'

" This was BEFORE I knew you were going."
