Let The Flames Begin ✓ | Mikey Way

Chapter Four

Dedication to thnksfrthvnom for their amazing comments, they always reference the best things and the comments in general just make me laugh. Thank you for supporting the story! Cassey is on the side, she's played by Demi Lovato (with blue hair).

"Wait, why did you get grounded again?" Forrest yelled at me during lunch.

"Uh, well," I began. "I gave my mom the finger, and-"

"What?" Cassey nearly jumped out of her seat, but Forrest shushed her.

"Shut up, she said and! There's more!" He leaned on the table and put his head on his fist. "Do tell."

I rolled my eyes. "And I said, uh, f you, but I actually said the word-"

"Kris!" Gerard yelled at me. "You did what?"

Cassey had put a hand over her chest in shock. "I can't believe you said that to your mom!" She patted me on the back. "My baby is growing up so fast!"

I buried my head in my hands on the table. "Shut up." I murmured, feeling my face get hot.

"She also said fuck twice in English yesterday, and she almost did it again today," Mikey said.

"So the rumors are true?" Cassey asked and I nodded. "Damn girl, you'll be wearing all black and leather and getting tattoos before you know it."

I groaned as the bell rang. "I hate all of you."

---------------------------------------

I hated 6th period. I had Spanish, which was one of my worst subjects. To make it even worse, I was alone. I had absolutely no classes with Cassey, and I only had band with Forrest. Mikey was in my band and English class, and Gerard was in me pre-calc and physics, so the rest of the day was pretty entertaining for me. But during the last hour of the day, I was absolutely miserable.

I pulled my phone out of my boot and texted Gerard under the desk.

To: Sass Queen

I'm in Spanish alone. Help. (Btw, nice name you've changed your contact to)

I got a reply almost instantly.

From: Sass Queen

If it says sass queen then it was Mikey, I swear to God I'll kill him. I have a free, meet me in the band closet.

I waited until the teacher called on me. "Can I go to the office, I need-"

"En español, por favor." The teacher said.

"¿Puedo ir al oficina?" I sighed. "Necesito llamar mi madre." She nodded and wrote me a pass.

As I walked into the auditorium, Gerard reached out a hand and pulled me inside.

"Jesus Christ!" I yelled as he shut the door. "You scared me!"

He shrugged. "Oh well. You're lucky I saved you, I could have left you alone in Spanish."

I rolled my eyes. "You wouldn't do that," I said. "You know how it feels to be alone in a class since we left you in music."

He avoided my eyes. "You're not alone!" I nearly yelled. "You like someone in there! Who is she? Or he?"

He placed his hands on my shoulders to keep me from jumping up and down. "Shh, you can't tell anyone, okay? Please?" I nodded. He sighed. "I have a tiny crush on him, he's really really nice, even though I've known him for only a few days. He's so cute and short and he has this little scorpion tattoo on his neck and-"
