I woke up to Mikey frantically knocking on my door

"Gerard hurry the fuck up...were late" I shot up and stumbled around looking for my cloths, I found my outfit from yesterday and put it on and walked out the room

"do we at least have time for coffee" I said, Gerard way always needs coffee

"nope because you didn't get up in time" I grunted as Mikey led me out to the car and drove off, we listened to our daily smashing pumpkins until we got to school. When we got to school we both rushed out Mikey ran off to his class while I walked to mine. Luckily this class had assessments, so that would be a simple class.

"right class can someone come and hand out the tests please while I do the register thank you" I sat down on my chair and called out the names while the tests where being handed out "right has everyone got the test" I got a chorus of unenthusiastic yeses "OK so you have until the bell...go" the sound of pens scratching against the paper immediately started. I didn't really know what to do as there wasn't much that I could do "oh yeh if you need help just call out" they had to call out because putting there hand up would be pointless. An hour passes quickly and the bell rang and a chorus of rustling papers and scraping chairs "if you could leave the papers on your desk ill collect them up later" in truth id probably get Mikey to do it. Soon enough the class was silent and empty. Suddenly two laughing students entered

"hey frank and Mikey" they both replayed and continued laughing

"whats so funny" I asked

"bob Bryar got sassed by this kid he was bullying" Mikey replied "i'm guessing you want me to collect the papers up" he said already picking them up

"yup" I said poping the p. I had Mikey's class next which was always a handful but I manage, somehow. Mikey and frank just continued talking and laughing and i'm happy Mikey's got past chewing franks head off. The bell went and the class filled up quickly. Once everyone was here I spoke up. "so class today we ill be finishing off the book" a collection of groans where heard "don't worry i'm not going to make anyone read today" the class all 'yeses' and it was quite funny. I was reading out the register when my eyes began to hurt, no no no this cant be happening now, shit my glasses fuck. I finished the register and picked up the book trying to ignore the pain. I was reading the book but the pain was getting to much and my voice was wavering, my hands flew to my eyes and I started rubbing them probably making them red, by now id long stopped reading

"sir, whats wrong" someone said it sounded like Tyler, suddenly there was a scrape of a chair and someone ran to me and put there hands on my shoulders, it was Mikey

"Gerard whats wrong" he said

"i-I c-ca-ant m-my eyes" I continued rubbing my eyes but the pain got worse

"shit... Gerard you don't have your glasses" I shook my head

"sir...you OK" another person said but I don't know who it was

"OK OK...someone can you turn the lights off and someone close the blinds" mike announced

"why" someone questioned

"because I fucking said so...just do it" Mikey shouted. By now the pain was so bad I was going to pass out.

I tugged on Mikey's sleeve "m pas-pas ou-"

"no your not gee come one. You gotta stay with us" Mikey said, he knew what to do because he had been doing this for the past 10 years.

"i'm going to put this over your eyes gee...its just a wet cloth" he then placed the cloth on my eyes which helped the pain. About 10 minutes the pain had now gone

"thank you Mikey" I gave him a hug as the bell went and everyone left. Except for frank who walked up to Mikey

"what happened Mikey" frank sounded worried

"oh eh its nothing. Its fine, happens all the time" Mikey replied

"Mikey can you get some painkillers for me please" I asked

"I don't know if they'll let me" he said

"just say there for me, they know" Mikey walked off leaving just me and frank

"you sure your OK gee, I was worried for you"

"yeh yeh i'm fine don't worry" I wasn't really fine, my eyes still hurt

"what happened though"

"nothing, maybe ill tell you some other time"

"okay" the door opened again and Mikey walked in with painkillers

"here" he passed me the pills and a cup "oh and I have a spare pair here" he handed me my second pair of glasses and I put them "frank...now do you see why I was pissed when you took his glasses the last time" Mikey said

"yeh" frank sounded really guilty but I didn't have time to tell him it was okay because the bell went off signaling the end of break. Luckily I didn't have classes for the rest of the day. So I just relaxed in the class for the rest of the day, I kept thinking back to frank and his mum and how scared he was when I called him, maybe he can hang round my house again, yeh that's a good idea, ill ask him that when him and Mikey come back to my class to pick me up.
