We invited them over to our table at lunch since people were already whispering behind their backs. Gerard seemed oblivious to this. Elliot was already chatting away to him and they were both laughing. I smiled to myself as I saw my two friends enjoy human company that wasn't mine or a bully's.

"Why are you smiling?" a voice asked, bringing back into the real world. I blushed when I realised it was Mikey talking.

"N-no r-reason" I stammered.

"You're cute" he said with a laugh which made me blush even more.

"So about that tour..." started Gerard with a smile.

"We'd be happy to show you around wouldn't we, hmm?" said Elliot while staring directly at Tommii and I.

"I would love that" said Frank, winking at Tommii again, smiling when she blushed.

When we stood up Frank linked arms with Tommii and they set off with Tommii giggling like mad. Gerard struck up another conversation with Elliot leaving Mikey and I in an uncomfortable silence.

"umm... I like your hoodie."

"Thanks, I like your umm..., shoes?"

He laughed and gave me a "you're so cute" look which nearly had me fainting. I told myself to pull it together and that I'd only just met him.

"Guess we should catch up to the others." He pointed down the corridor.

"Sounds like a plan" I said with a smile.

We passed the time getting to know each other, well Mikey getting to know me since he wasn't saying much but asked loads of questions

"So you're British?"

"Yeah, we moved here when my dad left."

"Oh I'm sorry." He sounded worried

"It's fine. I'm much happier over here"

"I love your accent Chrissy"

"T-thanks." I blushed (why do I always do that?)

I was then attacked by Tommii and Elliot "hugging me". Gerard then thought it would be appropriate to join in and somehow lift us all up.

"Gerard! Put us down!" Elliot shouted laughing.

As soon as Tommii hit the floor Frank picked her up and ran off with her. The rest of us burst out laughing as Tommii started chasing him around laughing her head off. I was amazed at how we had only met them that morning yet we were acting like we'd known them forever.

"Smiling to yourself again?"

"I do it a lot."

And he smiled and my legs went to jelly.

The rest of the day went slowly but at the end we all said our goodbyes and exchanged numbers. We watched as they got into Gerard's car and drove off. Once they had gone we all burst into fits of giggling.

"Frank is sooo funny and cute!" squealed Tommii.

"Gerard has such a good taste in music and a good fashion sense" Elliot said almost breathlessly.

"You ok Chrissy? You're very quiet."

"Huh?" I said, snapping out of my own world

"oh I'm fine just thinking about something."

"Mikey?"

At this I went bright red and Tommii knew she had hit the jackpot.

"Awwww. You like him don't you?"

"Well, yeah, you could say that."

Tommii beamed.

"I'll see you two later." Shouted Elliot in our ears. We laughed, hugged and said goodbye.
