Gerard POV

I stared nervously at the school gates. They seemed like monsters trying to swallow me. I got dirty looks from everyone. Derikk A.K.A. head jock, was talking woth his group of friends (or clone jocks, as i call them) Then, he noticed me and yelled at me.

'Hey faggot! Your friend is deady-weddy. Who's gonna save ya now, huh? You are gonna fucking die!' Derrik screamed. He ran towards me. I felt a pair of hands pull me back. a short kid ran in front of me.

'Piss off! Don't judge people! You're probably a fag yourself!' The short kid yelled. Derikk and the clone jocks ran off.

'Frank' The short kid said, holding out his hand/

'Gerard' I said, shaking his hand.

'Where's the principal's office?' Frank asked.

'You don't know?' I asked, wondering why he didn't know.

'No, I'm new here. It's my first day' He laughed.

'Oh...Then why did ya yell at Derikk?' I asked.

'I'm guessing you mean the homophobic twat? He's an asswipe. In fact, I'm kinda offended by what he said' Frank sighed. I stared at him. He was kinda cute.

'Why?' I asked.

'Oh...well...umm...You'll react like he did. You'll yell at me' He sighed.

'Woah...wait... what? I'm the most hated person in school. I'm probably the only open-minded person here...' I said, smiling a little.

'I-I can't...' Frank sighed.

'Okay. I'll guess...Are you gay?' I asked. It took me 10 seconds EXACTLY to figure that out after he said me he wouldn't tell me. He turned around and began to walk away.

'Yeah' He mumbled. I ran in front of him.

'Frankie, I'm cool with that. I am too. Hence why you had to scream at Derikk earlier. i don't know why you did that. Kayya does that...' I stopped, realising what I had said. I sat on the grass and cried. I felt the soft tears stream down my cheeks.

'Babe, what's wrong?' Frank asked, sitting beside me.

'My best friedn died just over a week ago. That's why they're taking the piss' I said, looking away.

'I'm so sorry, Gee' Frank said, sighing a little.

'It's okay. She woulda loved to have been your friend, I'm sure' I said, wiping the tears from my face.

'No. Everyone hates me' He sighed.

'I don't, Frankie. You're my friend' I said, smiling a little.

'Really?' He aske,d his voice full of surprise.

'Yeah, really' I smiled.
