Im Not Okay (mcr fan fic)

Chapter 1: Prep School newbies.

My name is Gerard Way. I am a Sophomore at a prep school that my parents enrolled me in. And, oh boy! do I hate it. As a freshman I came into this school with high hopes and confidence. But instead I got swerlies and I've been shoved into more that the respected amount of gym lockers. But if I hadn't been shoved into one of those lockers I wouldn't have met one of my very close friends Ray. Ray is in a few of my classes and he has always been picked on because of his fro. Personally I think its fabulous. Ray also sometimes writes and bites crayons. But I don't judge. I remember after a few months of hanging out with ray we were talking outside of school and we were talking about why we came to prep school. I said I didn't want to go here but my parents wanted me  to try and make it through. Ray responded with "You like D & D, Audrey Hepburn, Fangoria, Harry Houdini, and croquet. You can't swim, you can't dance, and you don't know karate. Face it. you're never gonna make it."

I said to him "I dont wanna make it, I just wanna.."

You know what, this year my little brother started high school. He doesn't get picked on as much as me and Ray. That's mostly because he's very shy and self conscious about his asthma. Mikey always has an inhaler on him, he's very skinny but not that short. He looks like a stereotypical nerd. Which is why he gets teased sometimes. Ray and I are treated worse. Ray Mikey and I have a hobbie we like to do sometimes. We play music that we made up ourselves in my garage. Sadly we need a new guitar player to play rhythm. The other dude who played moved to Alabama, so were looking for someone new.

Were only about 2 months into the school year.  I'm in homeroom right now and recently a new student has enrolled. I don't know who it is yet. Currently the teacher is taking attendance. At this point I know all the names of everyone in my home room.

"Frank Iero," that name was unfamiliar. I looked back and sitting in the back of the class was a due siting in the back of the class. His hair was black and his jacket on this uniform was unbuttoned. Frank didn't say anything, he just raised his hand. The teacher didn't look from the attendance sheet.

"uhhh-."

"Yes Gerard," he teacher said.

"Uhh, Frank is here, he's in the back of the class," I alerted the teacher. After that the teacher looked up from her paper and saw Frank. I looked back at Frank again, I saw his eyes move to meet mine but I quickly looked down at my table before we made eye contact. The teacher finished attendance and started explaining the schedule and probably the schedule for the whole school year.  The bell rang and we all left for our first hour class. As i made my wat to my English class Frank stopped me when i was outside the door.

"Why did you do that?' Frank asked.

"Do what?"

"Why did you point me out just as she was about to mark me absent,"Frank further explained.

"Well, i guess that its not a good way to start a new school, so I was being nice," I told him. He didn't really have a response, so I just walked into langue arts. I saw Ray and sat down next to him.

"Do you know about the new kid?' I asked him. Ray thought for a moment before responding.

"His name is Frank right?" he asked.

"Yeah, he's in my homeroom and he talked to me before I walked in," I told Ray.

"Really, I hear that he was kicked out of his old school for fighting," Ray explained to me.

"Really? who said that?"

"Its the kid who started the thing that my fro is a monster, so all the assholes in our school," Ray told me.

"Well then its probably not true, he doesn't seem like that kind of guy," I paused "but I guess he is a bit sketchy though," I added.

"Alright everyone," the teacher began talking so I stopped talking to Ray.

Lunch is at 10:30. I usually meet up with Ray and Mikey at the courtyard. Mikey is the first one to show up. He hangs around the fountain that's at the front of the school until we show up. Then we go hang out at the steps that's somewhat near the school. Its the steps that are in the area of the school where you're allowed to eat lunch. Its usually at lunch where they pick on us the most. We've had food thrown at us and many other things. A kid once put gum in Rays hair. He spent almost the rest of the day in the nurse because of it.  We got to our spot.

"Don't we have a test in a few days?" I asked Ray.

"I think so," Ray responded. I groaned and laid back. That's great. You know how much studying I did. Zero. And its probably going to stay that way.

"How has your day been?" Ray asked Mikey.

Mikey shrugged his shoulders "alright I guess," he responded.

"Anything happened in class?' Ray asked again.

"No, just boring stuff," Mikey replied.

"Same," Ray said.

I looked off into the distance. I saw Frank walk into our direction. He wasn't looking at us, I think he was just trying to find a place to sit. The spot he sat at was only a few steps away from where we were.

"Hey guys, that's the new kid in my homeroom," I pointed out. Ray and Mikey turned their heads and looked at him.

"That's Frank?" Ray asked. I nodded.

"I've never seen him around," Mikey said.

"I don't think he would go to where you are," I told him. Mikey agreed. Off in the distance we heard a group of laughter. It was the group of kids who you would consider popular. Its where the jocks sit with their girlfriends. We watched them. One of them who was a dude named "Cameron" picked out a piece of what looked like ham or chicken. Or maybe he just took out his entire sandwich. But anyway he though some kind of food at Frank. Whatever they through at him it made him knock whatever he had out of his hands.

"Man that's low, since when did they pick on the new kids first day," Ray pointed out. Frank must've heard him or something because he looked back and we made eye contact. I nodded a no, it was the kind of nod that said what a shame or that's low.

The look on Franks face seemed irritated. He stood up and shouted "Hey!" Everyone at the table began doing an "ooooooo."  I quickly got up and walked over to him. I set my hand on his shoulder and said "they aren't worth it," they all started laughing and we both looked over at them irritated.

"You wanna come sit by me and my other friends over there?" I asked and tilted my head in the direction of our spot. Frank nodded a yes and we walked over. All of could here them mocking us as we left.

"Hey guy's, this is Frank, he's new," I introduced him. Ray and Mikey both waved and we sat down.

"That's a bummer about how they treated you," Ray said.

"Are they always like that?" Frank immediately asked. We nodded a nod of shame.

"You get used to it," Mikey said quietly.

"They're asses, when you live up to the nerd stereotype it happens," I added on.

"Do they always pick on you?" Frank asked again.

"They pick on a lot of kids, but me and Gerard are their main targets," Ray told them.

"Did you guy's do anything?" Frank asked.

"No, it just started one day and non of us did anything, we told the principal once but they didn't do shit," I told Frank. We heard their laughter again. We all looked at them and rolled our eyes. Yeah, real assholes.
