April 5th
"PATRICK WAKE THE FUCK UP."
I jerk as I hear someone scream at me.
I lift my head off of the table it was resting on, taking in my surroundings.
First off, I'm at school. Well, the library to be more specific. Hayley, Bob, and Frank are all sitting at the round table my face was just resting on.
"Hayley please don't yell it's too early." Bob mutters.
She rolls her eyes, "morning sunshine."
She smiles sweetly and I glare at her.
"What time is it." My voice is thick with traces of sleep in it.
I rub my eyes, then throw my baseball cap on the table. My brown hair is a mess, I need to wash it. It's quite gross.
"Ugh, when's Gerard getting here?" Frank moans.
"Are you guys a thing?" Hayley eats a chip.
Frank's silencer for a minute, "Yeah we are. We just don't want people to know yet. You know I'm comfortable telling you guys, but no one else."
And I get that.
Being queer at this school is hard. If you're a Soul Punk, you'll get bullied vigorously by pretty much every Young Blood. And if you're a queer Young Blood...you're no Young Blood anymore.
"We get it." I say.
He just nods, Bob groans.
"I'm hungry."
Hayley tosses a bag of chips from her bag at him.
"Thanks, Williams." He mumbles.
"What time is it?" I sigh.
Frank looks at his phone, biting his lip. "7:46. Classes start in ten."
And then Gerard comes tumbling in. Coffee in his hands, sunglasses falling his face and his pants are too long to he's running sort of speed-walk-running and tripping at the same time. He plots down next to Frank.
"You are literally a mess." Frank says.
"Yeah, I know." Gerard sighs, looking at Frank.
"I told them..." Frank says silently.
Gerard just smiles, kissing Frank's cheek. "You look so cute today."
Gerard flicks Frank's snapback, Frank laughing lightly at that.
"I'm surrounded by so much gay." Bob says.
Hayley chokes on a chip, "bitch, I'm bi not gay get it right."
I snort.
"I'm bi too." Frank says, Bob rolling his eyes.
"And then there's us." Gerard says to me, and I chuckle.
"This is true...we're the OG gays."
Gerard laughs.
