START OF CHAPTER THREE
___________________________
"Wow." I say as I give Mikey an Gerard a round of applause. Mikey goes a shade of red as Gerard sarcastically bows. "That was SO amazing. Did you ever think about starting a band?" I ask Gerard.
"Well.... No. Do ya think we could?"
Gerard says, a little bit hopefully
"We would have to find a drummer, and a lead guitarist..." Mikey says as Gerard frowns. My eyes light up as I realise. "I know JUST the person!"
"Who...?" Gerard says.
"Do you know Frank Iero, in year 12?"
Gerard gasps as he realises as well. "Yes! Hes perfect!!"
Mikey, Gerard and I speedily walk through the corridors as we try to find the wherebouts of Frank. I suddenly know where frank would be. I drag Mikey and Gerard to the edge of the field where the gate is. I knew it. Frank and a couple of mates were sitting in the corner, behind the building. One of his mates was smoking a ciggarette.
"Hey Frank!" Gerard yells towards Franks direction.
Frank looks up and says "Ohhh hey there Gerard! How may I help you." With the slightist hint of sarcasm.
"Um.. Well you play the guitar... Dont you?" Gerard questions.
"I do in fact. Why?"
"We are looking for a guitarist. Because we were thinking about starting a band?" Gerard says, crossing his fingers behind his back.
Franks eyes light up and he reples with a simple "sure why not!"
3 down, now all we need is a drummer, and another guitarist. "Anyone you sit with play any instruments?" Gerard nods in franks friends direction.
"In fact they do. See the one with the massive fro? Thats Ray. Best guitarist I know. And the blonde with the lip piercing. Thats Bob. Mean as drummer."
This was all so perfect. They had enough for a full band and by the sound of it, they would be good.
"...Band practice wednesdays after school or during lunch" I overheard Gerard say to Ray, Mikey, Frank, and Bob. I smiled to myself and Mikey gave me a look and mouthed "thank you."
Gerard walks towards me and asks me something. "Considering you're the one who kind of brought the band up, would you like to be part of it?"
"What do you mean, be part of it?" I question.
"Well, I don't know, you can play bass, can't you?"
"Yes... But Mikeys the bass player!" i say
"Back up bass! Also you can be band manager." Gerard smiles, and places a hand on my shoulder.
"YES I WOULD LOVE T- sorry, I mean, yes, that would be really really awesome." I say, grinning widely.
"SHE SMILES" Mikey says sarcastically.
I couldn't believe it. I was going to be in a band, with one of the coolest people I know. The bell for next period rings and I groan. "We've got RE next Mikey"
Mikes and I head on up the stairs towards the classroom. As we sit down we start to talk about the band. "I just realised... If we're a band, we need a name!" Mikey states.
I let that process through my mind, and nothing comes up. "Maybe we should ask Gerard... Hes good at coming up with things..." I say. Mikey agrees just as the teacher walks in and proceeds to tell us to shut up.
As Mikey and I head towards the bus after school, we spot Frank walking near. "Frank!" Mikey yells, waving him over. "Hey Mikey. Hey Kate. Whats up?" Frank replies as we catch up.
