Someone Pull the Fire Alarm

Princess

Quietly I stood, once again, at the bus stop listening to my iPod. The stench of piss still lingered to the point that if this were a cartoon, I'd have the biggest, nastiest stink lines coming off me. Even my few classmates standing around stood further away than usual.

I sighed, eying the concrete when the loud sounds of Black Flag boomed through the streets. They're still picking me up? But Mikey isn't even going today...

The red truck pulled up and Frank turned to me.

"Hop in- oh god, I can smell ya from here," He began to gag.

"Just climb in!" Gerard cried from the passenger side. I did as told, getting into the backseat.

"Ugh, you stink so bad!"

"Yeah I know..." I sighed, gazing at the truck floor. I wish Mikey was here... this feels more awkward than usual...

"How's Mikey doing?" I asked Gerard.

"The best anyone can be with a broken arm," He chuckled, "Nah, he's hurting pretty bad. Didn't even get outta bed this morning."

"Ah man, poor guy..." Frank said.

"Yeah, but the doc says he should be able to go to school tomorrow."

"Poor Mikey..." I spoke as we arrived at Ray's.

"Aww," Frank began as Ray climbed into the backseat beside me, "You like him..."

"What!?" I asked, completely shocked by the accusation, "No way! We're friends." Okay... yeah I do... but there's no way I'm gonna tell these nimrods about it...

"Who?" Ray asked.

"Mikey and Y/n," Gerard explained, "She likes him."

"Uhm, no I don't!"

"Yeah ya do, it's so obvious!" I shook my head and rolled my eyes.

"I dunno what you're talking about."

"Well," Ray began, "Even if you don't, he sure likes you."

"Yeah, he's always like," Frank attempted his best Mikey impression, "'Oh Y/n did this, Y/n did that, she's so cool' it's nonstop." I giggled.

"Geez..." We had now pulled up to the school and climbed out of the truck.

"Ya shoulda seen him when you said you'd sign his cast," Gerard chuckled, "He was so happy." Aww... so cute...

"Cool..." I said as we walked inside, "Well, I'll see ya guys later."

"Yeah, see ya..."

We waved to each other until we could no longer see each other. I sighed, making my way upstairs and into my classroom all alone. As I began walking towards the class, I made eye contact with a pair of distinct green eyes for only a second before stepping inside. He walked with two other boys on either side towards me. That's the guy... oh god... I gotta get to class...

Quickly, I slipped inside, and took my seat in the back. My eyes darted towards the door where I watched them walk by the classroom. They hadn't noticed me. Would they beat me up? Or would they keep their weird rule? Ugh... I don't wanna have to find out...

"Hey Y/n," Gerard greeted, sitting in front of Mikey's empty seat and resting his feet on the desk beside him, "You okay? You don't look too good."

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I just, I... I saw one of the seniors from yesterday..."

"Do you know who it was?" I shook my head.

"Never got any of their names." He hummed.

"Do you know what any of them looked like?"
