Ok I was going to do it. I had decided, after several minutes of debating amongst myself, that I was going to go over there and talk to him. He was sitting in the same place he was sitting in yesterday, just as I was. But today he wasn't watching me. I don't know why exactly but that fact annoyed me slightly.

So eventually, once I had prepared for the first time I would have spoke all day – and it was lunch so that was a pretty long time to not talk – I walked over to him, keeping my head down till I reached the table he sat at.

As I sat down he looked up briefly from the book in his hand, raising his eyebrows slightly at me, before looking back down. I watched him for a few minutes but I ended up sighing heavily and standing up to leave.

I didn't get very far though as I felt a hand on top of mine. Looking back down I saw he had put his book down and was gripping my hand, eyes wide staring at my face.

'Please stay here Frank Iero.' I furrowed my eyebrows and sat down again. He didn't move his hand but I didn't really want to say anything.

'I'm sorry, I don't know your name…' Wow, seven words in a sentence. That's a new record for me.

'Gerard. Gerard way.' He smiled at me and I smiled back.

'Oh that's cool. I'm Frank. But you already knew that…' I bit my lip. I didn't want this to turn awkward so I asked to stupidest question I could ask anyone. Especially after only knowing them for about 5 minutes. 'Do you have a girlfriend?' As soon as I said it I wanted to hang myself.

'Ha no dude I don't swing that way. Why?' I breathed a sigh of relief. I think it was because he didn't think I was weird yet. I mean it couldn't have been because I was glad he likes guys, right?

'Oh no reason really I guess…I don't swing that way either…' What was I saying! You can't just go around telling random people that your gay! Stupid Frank! Stupid!

He winked at me running his tongue along his teeth. My eyes widened in panic. He was gonna rape me! I knew it! I knew that if some guy with a beard and a glasses didn't get little adorable me, then some guy in school would!

'Are you asking me out? Cos I'm all up for it but I would kinda like to know a few details about you first. Like your favourite colours, whether you'd rather be a zombie or a ghost, that sorta thing.'

Completely speechless and lost amongst my thoughts I started clenching and unclenching my fists, repeatedly. This is why I don't talk to people. I panic and then this happens. My breathing had quickened and Gerard was looking at me confused.

'Sorry, I gotta…' And I just got up and left. A few people watched as I left but I didn't care. I knew it would happen. I was away from the shadows now, in full light, letting the eyes of everyone around me, stare right into me.

I spent the rest of lunch standing by my locker. With each second that passed I got more and more worried Gerard was going to come and find me.

By last lesson I was freaking out. I had English and i was sitting next to Gerard. Maybe he wouldn't talk to me. Maybe he would get the message and just leave me alone. But something at the back of my mind told me this was just wishful thinking.

However. Half the lesson managed to pass by without one word being spoken between us. And I hated it. For someone that usually won't talk to people I really hated this silence between us.

Miss Miller wouldn't stop droning on long enough for me to talk to him so I ripped a piece of paper out of my notebook and scribbled a message on it before passing it to him.

~Red, Black and Zombies.

I watched as his eyes scanned over the paper and his lips spread into a smile. He spent a while scribbling a reply, passed it to me and read over it.

~Same! So how about it? I did say I'd go out with you if I found out those answers. I keep my word.

I bit my lip. I did like Gerard. But just as a friend. Or maybe more? I had only really known him less than a day. But every time I looked at him, my focus always went to his lips…And how much I wanted to feel them against mine. This very thought led onto a string of my x-rated fantasies. So whilst attempting to hide a very uncomfortable appearance between my legs I scribbled the most ridiculous answer anyone could ever scribble. But it was the only one I could think of at that precise moment.

~Friends with benefits?

I saw his shoulders move in a chuckle as he read over it, and I was getting ready to die. But the reply that came back made my face light up.

~As long as I spend time with u then I is happy :]

I moved my hand nearer to his on the table and he placed his on top of mine, interlocking our fingers and squeezing it gently.

I like his version of friends with benefits.

Aww lol.

Kk so there it was. Sorry if it sucked.
