"Attention students," the principal's voice was heard through the intercom and soared through the whole school. " Just a reminder, prom is literally just a week away so buy your ticket, start fixing yourself up, and maybe it's time to ask out a special someone. Remember, this should be a night to never forget."

Gerard Way, a slim senior boy with hazel eyes, a pale complexion, and black hair that was long enough to tie up, scoffed as the principal finished up the announcement. He closed his locker as he got all the things he needed for the school day.

"Prom may be a sort of important event but it's nothing to get worked up about." Gerard told his fellow senior companion Ray Toro, a tall boy with brown eyes, full lips, and a big brown bush for hair.

"I know Frank is going with Madison." Ray informed him. "They already have their tickets."

Gerard and Ray had a friend named Frank Iero who was just a freshman but surprisingly had a senior girlfriend.

Frank Iero was a good-looking youn man. He had nice dark hair, big puppy dog eyes, and a smile that any girl could fall for.

When he was failing biology, his teacher got one of his older students to tutor him. Madison Reid was the stereotypical popular girl: blonde, pretty, and a cheerleader. But she was also kind, sweet, and also very smart. When she started tutoring Frank, she thought he was pretty cute but didn't want to admit it since he was a freshman. But as the tutoring continued, they both got really close and eventually became a couple.

"You thinking of asking someone?" Gerard asked Ray as they both walked down the hall.

Ray replied with a small shrug and then suddenly stopped and stared straight. Gerard looked in his direction and saw Ray's ex-girlfriend Natalie Petrakis walking towards her locker.

"I, um, heard that she and Rick are going to prom together." Gerard said sympathetically.

Rick Stevens was a handsome guy with unusually white teeth and nicely combed blonde hair. He was captain of the hockey team and was the same guy who Natalie cheated on Ray with.

"It doesn't matter." Ray replied. "She and I are done. She can go with whoever she wants."

Natalie had already made it to her locker, and when she opened it, Gerard and Ray's friend Frank popped out and screamed right in her face.

"Aaaahhhh!" they both screamed.

Frank jumped out of Natalie's locker and fixed himself up as she ran away. Frank smiled with pride as he walked towards his friends who were now bursting with laughter.

"Nice one Frank." Gerard said through breaths as he high fived the freshman.

"Thanks Frank." Ray said. "That was pretty hilarious."

"Hey, that's what friends are for."

1st period

"So G, you thinking of asking someone?" Ray asked as he and Gerard started to take their seats for Physics.

"I don't know." Gerard replied. "Maybe I'll ask Charlotte to go with me."

Ray then started to looked down at the floor. "Oh really? That's, um, nice I guess."

Geard noticed this and started to smirk. "Toro, were you thinking of asking Charotte to prom?"

"No." Ray simply said.

"That answer would've been more convincing if you weren't turning so red."

Ray cursed under his breath as he continued to hide behind his afro.

Ray had had a crush on his and Gerard's friend Charlotte Manson since junior year. He always thought she was really pretty and nice and they both had the same taste in music.

"Ray, you need to ask Charlotte out already." Gerard advised his friend. "You've liked her since last year. You need to make a move now and prom is the perfect opportunity to do it."

"I don't know if I can though. She's way out of my league."

Gerard rolled his eyes at Ray's statement. "C'mon dude. You're a good-looking guy. You're also funny, smart, and you can totally shred on the guitar. Charlotte is right over there man. Now's your chance."

Gerard pointed across the room where Charlotte was sitting on her own reading a paper back novel.

"Go on and ask her to prom Toro."

"Okay, I will."

Ray slowly walked towards Charlotte with his heart slightly pounding. He turned to look at Gerard who tried to encourage him with a small nod of his head and a thumbs up.

Ray finally made it to Charlotte's desk.

'Damn, why did she have to be so cute?' Ray thought as he said hello.

Charlotte was a short curvy girl with long dark hair, tanned skin, and big brown eyes. The thick black framed glasses she wore made her look even more cute.

"Hey Ray." she greeted her friend.

"Mind if I sit by you?" Ray asked.

"Sure. I don't see why not."

Ray sat in the nearest chair he could find.

"So what's up?" Charlotte asked.

"Um, well, I was wondering."

"About what?"

"Well, if you, um,"

Ray continued to stammer as he looked at Charlotte who just patiently waited for him to finish.

"If you knew how fast I could spin on this spinny chair."

Ray then suddenly started to spin really fast in the chair he was seated on. Charlotte giggled as she watched him.

"You're such a goof Toro." she stated. "Mind if I join you?"

"Go ahead." Ray replied as he continued to spin.

Charlotte suddenly started to spin around in her chair and laughed as she and Ray had their simple fun. Across the room, Gerard simply smiled and shook his head as he saw his friends act like 5 year olds.
