Frank's POV:

The class periods seemed to drag by. My excitement to be out of my normal classes was increased greatly by wanting to see Gerard at lunch. Finally, the pitchy school bell rang out through the classroom, and I jumped from my seat. Anxious to get to lunch. I wandered out into the hall glancing from time to time around the halls to see if I saw Gerard. Finally I spotted him walking out of a classroom. I ran up and stopped dead in front of him. He looked up and smirked.

"Hi Frankie. Someone excited for lunch?" I blushed and nodded.

"Yeah. A little. I don't like normal classes. Lunch is the best period of the day." I said smiling. He nodded in agreement and we began our walk to the cafeteria to meet up with Mikey and some Alicia chick. As we walked through the doors of the crowded cafeteria a messy haired blonde guy stood up and waved at Gerard. That must be Mikey, and the brunette with glasses sitting next to him must be Alicia. We walked up to the table and took our seats across from them.

"Hey Gee." Mikey said smiling. Gerard nodded in acknowledgement and smiled at him and Alicia.

"Sorry to be rude. My name's Alicia." she said sticking out her hand fro me to shake. I shook her hand and smiled.

"No problem. I'm Frank." I looked over to Mikey to see him staring at me over the top of his glasses.

"Are you Mikey?" he nodded.

"Hi." he said monotone.

"Umm, hi." I said giving him a half-smile. Gerard stood up from the table and pulled some money out of his pocket.

"Well I would love to stay for introductions, but I'm fucking hungry, so… yeah. Anyone want anything?" Alicia shook her head and so did Mikey.

"Mikey you need to eat." Gerard said a little quieter. Mikey looked up from his hands and glared.

"Gerard. I'm fine. I don't want any damn food." Gerard sighed and nodded. He turned to me.

"You want anything?"

"I'll just go with you." He nodded and we walked away. As soon as we were out of hearing distance Gerard started mumbling about Mikey.

"He's so thin… I don't want him to get sick." I placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey. I'm sure he's fine. If he says he's not hungry, well then he probably means he's not hungry." He looked up at me with worried eyes.

"Yeah I guess." We got our food and walked back to the table. Much to Mikey's protesting, he ate the bag of chips Gerard got for him. I noticed that Alicia kept taking sneaky peeks at Mikey from the corner of her eyes. Mikey didn't seem to notice but I definitely did. Mikey was doing the same thing. It was quite cute actually. We finished up our food and walked outside to and old tree with a table underneath to relax until the bell rang. I climbed up onto the table and laid down. Mikey and Alicia sat down underneath the shade of the tree, and Gerard sat down on the bench connected to the old rickety table. We talked about all kinds of things and got to know each other. We found out that Alicia was actually a really big Misfits fan, and she despised bubblegum pop. Mikey's eyes lit up when she said that. We were all having a really great time until Garrett and his douche bag friends walked by and made some snide remarks. I ignored them and brushed them off, but the rest of the group was a little more than irritated.

"Frank? Why did you let them talk to you like that?" Alicia said while still glaring at the group of boys. I shrugged.

"I'm just kind of used to it I guess. It doesn't really faze me anymore." she turned and looked at me, and then shook her head. She stood up and walked over to me. I sat up and she grabbed my hands in hers.

"You shouldn't let people put you down like that. From what I've seen today, you are a really amazing genuine person, and they are just jealous. Next time they say anything I will do something, if you don't." I kind of just stared at her blankly the whole time she was talking. No one had ever really cared that much. It felt really good. I smiled and bit my lip to hold back my tears. She hugged me and I whispered and "thanks" in her ear before she pulled away. She nodded and went back to sit by Mikey, who looked a little irked by all of Alicia's affection towards me. If only he knew how little he had to worry about.

Gerard's POV:

I wasn't sure what to do when those stupid assholes came up and offended Frankie, but I'm glad Alicia did. I feel bad that I hadn't said anything, but next time I definitely would. He shouldn't be treated like that. Alicia was right. He was an amazing person. And he deserves respect. One thing I did notice about the name calling was that they called him a "fag". I wasn't sure if they called everyone that, or if he really did like guys. I was hoping for option two. I really hate the term "fag". It doesn't make any sense. It means cigarette. Which reminds me… I pulled out my cigarettes and lit up. Frank looked over and saw me smoking. He raised an eyebrow.

"What? I wanted a cigarette." He let out a little giggle and turned back around to talk to Mikey and Alicia, who by the way, would most likely be together by the time this week was over. I groaned into my cigarettes the bell rang, and drew in one final last drag, before I had to snuff it out. I stood up from the table and collected my things, then walked straight into the building. I didn't know what had came over me, but I felt really shitty right now. I trudged to my final class to get it over with so that I could go home.

Mikey's POV:

What the fuck had gotten into Gerard. He was fine like three minutes ago. Whatever I would ask him about it on the way home. I hugged Alicia and said bye to Frank so I could get to my last class. Frank and Alicia walked away to their last class which they said they had together. I guess that means we all have a class with that gorgeous being. It had been one day and my feelings for her were already very strong. If I wasn't such a pussy then I would ask her out on the spot, but I didn't have enough guts for that. I frowned at myself and reached my last class. Hallelujah. School was almost over.
