Still Frank's POV
The last school bell rings and I run out of the class. I can't risk being seen by the Jocks. I have detention since I ran out of Science.. fuck that. There's a 100% chance that they will be there.
I sprint through the hall and end up bumping into a few people. I don't bother to say sorry, because I'm fucking not. The shit they've done to me..
They deserve a lot more than a small run-in at the hall.
I run out to the front of the school and check my surroundings. No Jocks in sight. I figure now it's safe enough to walk and finally catch my breath.
Gerard's POV
When the last bell rings I sloppily shove my books into my backpack and walk out.
On my way through the hall I get bumped into.
"Oh I'm sorry I-" I mutter out but he doesn't stop running.
Oh..it's that 'Iero' kid..
I see Cara and I walk up to her.
"Hey Cara.."
I'll always be awkward around girls. Even though I don't have any attraction towards Cara. Or any girl, in fact..
"..do you know that 'Iero' kids first name?" I say pointing to the short running man.
"Eye-ear-oh." She corrects me,
I roll my eyes and shrug my shoulders.
"Yeah, it's Frank. I sat next to him in Science today."
"Oh, cool. Hey, I gotta go. I'll miss the bus."
"See ya tomorrow?"
"Um yeah, sure.."
I'm nowhere near late for the bus. I just don't want to talk to her right now. I don't want to talk to anybody right now.
I get out of the school and speed walk to the bus. I sit at the very back and put my hoodie up. I grab my earbuds from my backpack and put them in. I turn on my iPod Classic and drown out the barking boys and screeching girls.
Frank's POV
I walk to the bus and see all of the rows crowded and full. I scan the bus and find one empty seat next to that kid from the bathroom.
"Great.." I mutter under my breath and drag my feet to the back of the bus.
I wanted to sit alone. The bus is never this full.
A girl extends her leg with a hot-pink heel at the bottom of it. Ends up tripping me. Everyone laughs, and I stand back up trying to ignore my hurt pride.
I sit and look at the new kid. It looks like he's doing everything to avoid eye contact with me.
That's weird, nobody ignores me like this. It's nice.. He's not knocking my teeth loose or trying to steal the money I don't have.
I sit back and the bus starts moving.
After about fifteen minutes of complete silence coming from this kid I decide to ask him a question.
"What's your name?"
He looks at me briefly then looks back out the window.
"Gerard.."
"I'm Frank."
"I know"
He knows? That means he knows something about me. Something that nobody should've ever found out. I bet they told him.
"What else do you know..?"
"All I know is that you were beat up in the hall today."
"Right.. Don't talk abou-"
"And that you stood up for yourself. Which is something I.. Could never do. You're brave." He finishes and looks at me.
I sit confused.
Brave?
"No, dude.." I say awkwardly shifting in my seat.
"Well.. You are in my eyes."
We make eye contact for the first time on this whole bus ride.
He starts to lean in.
"Gerard! What are you doi-"
The bus stops suddenly causing Gerard to fall into my lap.
"Get off!" I say pushing him up and off me.
"Sorry! I didn't do it on purpose.."
"Yeah right! Are you fucking gay?"
He shifts uncomfortably and stares at the window, hurt in his eyes.
Shit.. I feel really bad..
Who am I to criticize someone for sexuality?
This is my stop so I get up.
"That offer for tomorrow still stands.." He says quietly, trying to avert his eyes from mine.
"Whatever."
I'll think about it.
Gerard's POV
He's straight. What the hell was I thinking..
Something just took over my body. I know I never would've kissed anyone. Ever.
But I feel safe with him. He's brave, he's strong..
Even if he's not physically strong.
He's not like most boys. He's something else.
But.. he also is.. He's just like all the other boys because he called me.. Yeah.
