Our Destiny

3

I took a bite of my sandwich looking into the cafeteria to see if I could catch a glimpse of a tall boy wearing all black. Why the hell was I searching for him! I couldn't find him anywhere, he was probably outside smoking cigarettes or something. 'Hey Grace!' 'Oh, uhm yes Madison?'. 'You didn't hear my question, didn't you?'. 'No sorry' I said awkwardly. 'She was too busy thinking about her new boyfriend.' Amy said teasingly. 'What!! No nah ah! He is not my boyfriend!'. 'But you were thinking about him, weren't you?' Amy asked with a grin on her face. 'I saw you walking with him yesterday, you know.' 'Wait what. You did?'. 'Yes, and it looked like you were having a very interesting conversation.' I started to blush, so I quickly looked away. 'Wait what?!!' Madison asked in shock. They both looked at me curiously. 'We want to know every detail,' Madison said.
'Alright but it's nothing special really. Last night he came by at work to buy some comics and we started talking a bit and then he left the store. But when my shift ended, he was still there smoking some cigarettes.' 'Wait! So, he waited for your shift to end?' Amy asked. 'Yes, I guess so. He said he didn't feel like going home. Then he asked if it was okay if he walked me home. And I said yes. And we started talking and then he left.' 'So... what did you talk about?' Madison asked. 'Uhm nothing special. About ourselves and music. Apparently, he sings in a band.' 'Oh really? That's so cool!' Amy said. 'What's the name of the band?' Madison asked. 'Uhm I think it was Black Veil Brides or something.' Madison's eyes lit up. 'Wait! What did you say his name was again?' 'Andy Biersack. Why?' 'Oh my god. I think I know that band.' 'Really?' I asked surprisingly. 'Yes, my cousin is a huge fan and she has a major crush on their frontman. I thought he looked familiar and now I know. Her room is full of posters with their heads on it.' 'Wait! Doesn't your cousin live in Florida, on the other side of the country?!' Amy asked. (They live in California) 'Yes she does.' 'Then they must be really popular,' Amy said. 'Wow yes. I thought it was just a local band or something. But I guess I was wrong.' I said surprised.
'He is coming to my house after school to work on that history project.' 'He what!' Amy was shocked. 'Damn girl!' Madison said. 'He guys! We are only meeting for that stupid history project okay. And beside I'm not interested in that guy. He is definitely not my type.' 'Grace, who are you kidding?' Amy said. 'You've been thinking about him the whole lunch break. And you haven't talked about anything else.' 'I'm with Amy on this one. You're totally into him.' 'Grace has a crush!!' Amy yelled teasingly. 'Shut up both of you!' 'Can't blame you girl. He is hot as hell!' I didn't answer, instead I just rolled with my eyes and finished my sandwich.

When my last class finally ended, I walked straight to my locker. After three failed attempts to open my locker, it finally opened. I felt a very cold hand on my shoulder, I turned around and saw Andy next to me leaning against the lockers. 'Hey.' He said. 'So I thought, maybe we can exchange phone numbers. Then you can send me your address.' 'Very smooth.' I said teasingly. He grinned. 'So here's my number. Don't forget to send your address. I will be there around 3 pm.' 'Alright, I said. Don't be late, we have a lot of work to do if we want to finish that essay.' 'I won't be.' He said smiling.

I grabbed my laptop and opened it. It was 3pm, he could be here any minute now. I didn't know why but I started to get a little nervous. I decided to check if we had something to eat. 'Don't worry Grace, you're gonna be just fine. He is just another human being. You are just going to work on a project, that's all.' I found some potato chips and a pack of Oreos, that should be good. I looked at the clock, it said twenty past three. Where the hell was he? Was he even going to come? I mean, I wouldn't be too excited to work on a school project. I decided to wait another twenty minutes. After that I think I'm just going to work on this project by myself.

I looked at the clock, ten to three. Shit I'm going to be late. I grabbed my leather jacket and walked towards the front door. 'Andy! Where the hell do you think you're going?!' Jake asked. I turned around and I saw not one, not two, but four angry faces looking at me. 'Sorry guys, I explain later, I promise. I just really need to go now.' 'Fuck that Andy!' Ashley said. You've been sneaking in and out the house for two days now. You are going to tell us what you've been up to lately. And you're going to tell us right now!' 'Alright I'll tell you. Uhm... well... I've been going to High School these last two days.' 'You've what?!' Jake asked in shock. CC started laughing. 'Hahaha Andy Biersack going to High School. What a joke!' Jinxx looked at him angrily and CC immediately stopped laughing. 'I'm not going to that school to learn anything CC. It is-'. 'Andy do you know how many people there are in a school?' Jinxx asked seriously. 'Yes, I do and I know the dangers. It's just...' 'Just what Andy?' Ashley asked annoyed. 'There is this girl and I noticed something strange about her. I don't know what it is but something's wrong I just-' 'Andy has a crush!!' Ashley yelled teasingly. 'Ash shut up! No it's nothing like that. Somethings up and I can't wrap my head around it. I've had contact with her and when I placed my hand on my shoulder I could feel her.' 'No shit sherlock.' Ashley said. 'No I mean... I could feel her body warmth. And the strangest thing is I can't get in her head. I have tried so many times, but I just can't do it.' 'Are you sure?' Jinxx asked. 'Yes, I am sure why would I make this all up?' 'Well this is some weird shit. Are you sure she is... you know... human?' 'Yes, I am quite sure. Otherwise she must have noticed some things. And she didn't. I was actually about to go visit her, maybe I can try to find out some more stuff.' 'Alright. But why didn't you tell us right away.' Jake asked. 'Well I thought you might not approve the whole High School plan.' 'Yeah you take some huge risks doing that bro.' 'I've been going there for two weeks now. And I'm absolutely fine. Nothing happened and I try to avoid as much contact as possible. I promise you, I got this.' 'Alright. You can continue going to that college. Just be careful man. We can't take to many risks being exposed.' 'I promise, I will. I really got to go now. Bye guys!'

I was just going to start on the project myself, when I heard the doorbell. About time!! He promised to be here at 3pm. That didn't mean showing up at 4pm. You don't fool me a second time Andy Biersack. I opened the door, and there he was. 'Hi Grace.' He said awkwardly. 'That was about time. You promised you'd be here at 3pm.' I said annoyed. 'Yeah I know. And I'm so sorry. I got held back by my housemates and they wouldn't let me leave and I tried to explain that I really got to go, but they didn't listen and-' I smiled, 'It's okay Andy.' A smile appeared on his face as I stepped aside making space for him to enter. But surprisingly he didn't move. Instead he scrubbed his head and looked at me awkwardly. 'Well what are you waiting for? Come on in!' I said. Right after I spoke those words, he walked closer towards me and carefully entered the house.

'Maybe we can take a small break?' Andy asked with a smile on his face. 'We still have a lot of work to do. I don't think-' 'Oh come on, we've been working on this thing for 2 hours now. I think we can take a break for a while. And besides, the deadline is next week.' 'Alright okay, I can use a break. So... what did you have in mind?' 'Do you have a CD player.' 'Yes I do. Why?' I asked confused. He grabbed his jacket and took a CD out of his pocket. 'Well... I was going to chance your opinion on rock, remember?' 'Yes I remember.' I looked at him questioningly. I took the CD from him and looked at the cover. KISS, Destroyer. 'Wait! I think I know this band.' He laughed. 'They are legends, everyone knows them. Now I'm going to play this and you are going to listen.' 'Alright. Let's hear it.'

Andy had troubles sitting still when listening to the music and he quietly sang along to the lyrics. It was kinda cute. After a few songs he paused the CD and looked at my hopeful. 'So... what did you think?' 'Okay yes. I admit this is really good.' A big smile appeared on his face. 'Are you ever going to show me your own music.' 'Not yet.' He grinned. 'First I'm going to change your opinions on rock first.' 'You know I can just find your music on youtube and spotify right?' 'Curious, are we?' He grinned. I felt I was going to blush. 'You seem to do a lot of effort to make me love rock music.' 'Yes, I do. I hate it when people are talking badly about something, they don't know anything about. As a band we face a lot of negativity and people with all these prejudices. And I want to prevent that.' 'Why?' 'I don't want you to think bad about me. And I know you already had some prejudices shown by the looks you give me every time I light up a cigarette.' 'But why me? Why do you care about my opinion?' 'Well... you're cute.' 'Sorry I have to stop you right there. One I hate smoking, it's bad for you. And two I'm not interested in you, you're not my type so-' 'Then why are you blushing?' He said with a small grin. Damn it. No this can't be happening. I'm not falling for this guy.

'I'm sorry, I really have to go now. The others are probably wondering where I've been.' 'The others?' I asked. 'Oh yes, I sort of live with my bandmates.' 'Really? If they are all like you then I know what you meant when you said your house was a bit crowded.' I said. 'Ha yes, they can be really loud but I love them, so I can handle it. He pushed the CD in my hands. 'Keep it! Then you can listen to it as much as you like.' 'Really?' 'Yeah, I can get it back another time.' 'Another time?' He grinned. 'Yes, I mean. Our history project is not finished yet... so...' I rolled with my eyes. 'Very smooth Andy.' He laughed. 'Bye, see you tomorrow.'
