A/N: This fanfic is about Frank and Gerard's kids from My Chemical Romance, when they're older, but as if it's today. It's not perfect, I'm no perfect writer, but I try.
I'm writing it as they live in America, but the schools work more like Australian schools, because I live in Australia and I have no idea how American schools work .
Disclaimer: None of this ever happened, obviously because they're just little children at the moment, (adorable ones I might add ^-^) and I do not own Cherry, Lily, Miles, or Frank Iero, I don't own Bandit or Gerard Way (sadly) Or any other MCR members or anything along those lines. I did make up Lochie and Bradley though, they're my own sh*tty characters. Enough ranting though, here's the first chapter!
Chapter 1
Cherry Iero's POV
"Late again, Miss Iero?" The teacher said as I walked into the room. I gave a simple grunt, grumpily walking over to the back of the room and slouching into my chair. "Hey, Cherry." Lochie says, turning around and grinning at me.
I roll my eyes, "Piss off." I say before taking out a book from my bag.
"What's that all about?" He says, pulling the classic puppy-eyes face. No way I was falling for that.
"Just leave me alone." I say, when the bell goes. Thank god.
I should probably explain. I've practically grown up with Lochie, I would say he's my longest-known friend, but that would be Bandit. Bandit's around a year older than me, but she's always been my best friend. I've known Lochie since pre-school, but he's still closer friends with my sister, Lily.
He knows I've probably had another shitty morning, so he turns around and talks to his friend next to him. Someone knocks on the door, so I look up to see who it is, not that I really care much, but at least it's something interesting. A short boy stands awkwardly in the doorway, looking around the classroom with wide eyes, pausing to look at me just a second longer than everyone else, but I ignore it. The teacher walks over to him, talking to him then points in my direction. He must be the new kid, wait, is he going to sit next to me? I pick up my bag off the chair next to me and drop it carelessly onto the floor. Trying to take the grumpy look off of my face, I attempt a smile, looking up at the boy again. He doesn't look 16 at all, he looks around 13, except he's got black hair, straightened across his face so you can barely see his eyes. I must admit, he is quite cute.
"Hey, I'm Bradley, I'm new." He says in a cheerful, but awkward sing-song voice.
I try to smile at him, "I'm Cherry," The bell rings right after I finish stating my name. "So, what class do you have first? I might as well help you out."
"Oh, err, English," He passes me his timetable. I take it and check the classes quickly.
"Oh, you're in most of my classes, music too?" I grin, this kid actually seems alright.
He grins back at me, "Oh, you're in music? Yeah, me too, what do you play?"
"Mostly bass, but I play guitar and I sing too. My dad was in this band you see.." I say, not saying anything further. Please don't ask what band, for the love of god, please don't.
"Oh, awesome! I play drums." He says excited.
We walk over to English talking about our favourite bands, and he has a pretty similar taste in music to me, which is kind of surprising. I wouldn't have told him, but he insisted on knowing what music I liked, and then he said he liked the same stuff too.
"Yeah, and you know My Chemical Romance? They are AMAZING!" Bradley says, still ranting on about his favourite bands. "It's a shame they don't play anymore.."
I look down at my toes, I don't know how to reply. How do you reply to someone who's talking about the band your dad was in?
"What, don't you like My Chem?" He asks confused.
"Cherry! Who's your friend?" My twin sister Lily says skipping over. She's my twin, but with the way she dresses and her hair, you would never guess. She stands there grinning, in her denim shorts and floral top, her long brown hair with bleached tips pulled over one shoulder.
"Oh, this is Bradley, he's new." I tell her. I see her eyeing his black Metallica shirt, and looking back at me.
Lily nods slowly, looking at me as if trying to figure something out. "Well, you two look like you'd make great friends, I gotta go." She says, skipping off to hug one of her five-hundred friends.
English flies past, we spend the lesson writing poetry, which I find really easy. I finish early and look over at Bradley who is still writing. I notice he is wearing a MCR bracelet. I have to tell him sometime, I tell myself, frowning. Bradley notices me looking at him and looks up at me, his hair flicks to the side so I can actually see his eyes, and boy, does he have nice eyes. They're green, with little flecks of gold and brown in them.
"Cherry, hellooo?" Bradley says, waving his arms.
"Oh err, sorry, I zoned out, haha." I try to laugh it off, but I sound more like a monkey than someone laughing.
"I said, do you mind if I sit with you at recess? I don't really have anyone elseā¦" He asks hopefully.
"Err, I guess, if you really want to." I reply, it doesn't sound like the best idea, and why would he want to sit with me anyway?
"I'd love to" he smiles, as the teacher collects our work off of our table.
"So are you going to introduce me to your friends?" Bradley says grinning, as we walk back of the school where my group sits.
"Cherry! Who's this?" Bandit says, giving me a big hug.
"I'm Bradley, I just moved here. Cherry's been showing me around." He says, still smiling. He's got the dorkiest smile, but I admit it's adorable.
"Oh! I'm Bandit, me and Cherry grew up together, so you're sitting with us?" She smiles. Bandit's a lot happier than me, she's always been the one to cheer me up and I'm hardly in a bad mood when I'm around her. It's like she gives off a positive aura or something, it's hard to be upset around her.
Bradley nods, the dorky grin still on his face, and we walk down to sit at our log.
"Oi, piss off Miles." I slip my younger brother the finger, and he laughs with his friends.
"Is this your boyfriend Cherry?" He mocks. I roll my eyes at him.
"No, now get off our log." I mutter, standing on the log. Bradley follows me up and stands next to me. Miles and his friends walk off eventually, joking about stupid things.
"So, Bradley," Bandit says while fixing the red bandana on her head, "What you up to this arvo?"
"Oh, nothing really, I guess. I was planning on baking some cookies but nothing important." He says distantly after the word cookies, as if he started daydreaming or something.
"You bake?" I ask, before even thinking of the question. Bradley turns to me, nodding. "Wow, I wish I could cook."
"It's really all not that hard," He says, laughing a little. "Why'd you wanna know?" He turns to Bandit.
"Oh, well Cherry and I were going to get donuts and coffee if you wanted to join?" She says, smiling, although this was a smile I hardly saw of her.
"Yeah, I'd love to" He says grinning.
