"Explain what?" She asked.

"Ava! You know what I am talking about..." He smirked. "Don't play dumb with me."

She shook her head. "No, I really don't, bro." Ava said with a confused look on her face.

"You have a crush on Gee, don't you?" Frank finally opened up and told her what he was talking about after seeing how confused she was.

"Um..." Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink. "Why would you think that?"

"I saw the way you were smiling at him... And I've never seen two people hug as much as you two did in the same day." Frank said matter-of-factly. He looked over at her, "I think he might like you too."

"Why?" She asked.

"Don't ask why... Just trust me, okay? Besides, you two would look so cute together!" He exclaimed, now in a fit of giggles.

Ava scoffed. "Fine, maybe I do like him... A little." She admitted, which made Frankie squeal in excitement. "But... You remember last night whenever you told me you were secretly bisexual and no one knew but your friends?" She asked.

Frank quit giggling and a serious look came across his face. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"You and Mikey..." Ava grinned.

"WHAT THE FUCK MAN!? NO WAY!!" Frankie yelled.

"Mhm. Well if I like Gee, then you're in love with Mikey." And that, ended their conversation. A few seconds later, Ava couldn't help but add, "I win!" and clapped her hands together.

"Whateverrr..." He rolled his eyes. "I'm not in love with Mikey, that's just...gross!"

Monday morning. I woke up feeling a gentle grip on my shoulders. As I opened my eyes, I noticed it was Frankie trying to wake me up. "Ava, wake up, sis!"

"I'm...up..." I said in between yawns as I fought to keep my eyes from closing.

"Good, now get ready, we have school." He said and then walked out of my room.

I sighed and got up. Picked out some clothes to wear, and walked into the bathroom. Twenty minutes later I was finished taking a shower and getting ready so I walked downstairs to see Frank waiting for me by the door. We walked to school, as taking the car was completely useless considering that the school was extremely close to our house. The walk was rather quiet, though I enjoyed the peaceful time. Frank must have enjoyed it as well, because knowing whenever we got school it wouldn't be so quiet. Frank, Mikey and I were juniors and Gerard, Ray, and Bob were seniors. Just figured I'd add that information in.

We were greeted at the entrance by Mikey. "Hey you two, what's up!?" He asked hyperly and pulled us both into a hug. Wow, Mikey must have already been high on skittles and coffee this morning. I laughed at the thought of it.

"You knew exactly when we were going to show up, huh, Mikey?" I asked.

"Of course...Besides I have to hang out with someone; Gee ditched me for his girlfriend!" Mikey said with a scoff and rolled his eyes. "I hate that bitch!"

"Wait, Mikey," I blinked a few times "girlfriend?"

Frank and Mikey looked at eachother and sighed. "You tell her, man." Frank said, not wanting to get into it. Especially with me. He had already learned that over the few days I had been here that I had a bad temper.

"Yeah, Gee's girlfriend...Bianca" He said in a disgusted tone. "See?" Mikey pointed to the lockers where Gee and Bianca were standing there, making out.

I felt my face turning red with anger. "Pardon me while I burst." I growled and started to walk over to them to punch those bitches right where they needed it, though Mikey and Frank pulled me back. "What the fuck?! Don't you want me to kill two bitches?" I asked, looking at them still angered.

"Well, personally, I would like to see that...Though I wouldn't want to see you get suspended on your first day..." Mikey sighed. "Stupid school and their stupid rules."

"...people got into fights all the time at my school and never got suspended." I said amazed at this word, suspended, when I had never heard it in my life at my old school.

"Really?" Mikey asked now wanting to know about my old school and completely forgetting about what we were talking about in the first place. That's Mikey for ya; very short attention span. Though Frank had to put us back on track. "It's strict here, sis." Frank said looking down at the ground.

"Fine... I just don't know why he would be all flirtatious with me then end up having a girlfriend all along...He acted as if he really liked me." I sighed and left Mikey and Frank standing there, walking off to the main office to pick up my schedule. This is going to be going through my mind for the whole day, distracting me from my studies.

"Aw, poor Ava..." Mikey frowned. "I'd rather see her with Gee anyday before seeing him with that whore over there..." He sighed.

"Yeah..." Frank's voice trailed off.

Lunchtime came around after what seemed like days of hunger. I was starving. I didn't eat breakfast this morning. Though I never eat breakfast. It always makes me have this strange feeling inside. I walked around the cafeteria, and looked for a table to sit at. That's when I realized I wanted to sit outside and get some fresh air. Yeah, fresh air. It sounded good right now.

Walking out the doors, I looked at a few tables that were full, but then noticed there was a table with one person whom looked quite lonely. Walking over to the table, I set down my tray. "Mind if I sit here?" I asked, looking at the guy. This reminded me of the first time I ever saw Gee... I jump back into reality as the person mumbles, "Yeah go ahead."

I sit across from the guy and begin eating. It felt great to finally have something in my stomach. I look up at the guy sitting there. He has long black hair, blueish eyes, was dressed in all black, and even painted his fingernails black.

"Ava Iero." I extended my hand. He shook it.

"Bert McCracken." He replied, introducing himself as well.

"Nice to meet you, Bert." I say trying my best to be polite, though annoyance filled my sentence.

"You too... Are you Frank's sister?" He asked looking at me.

"Yeah how did you know?" I asked, then a few seconds later realized it was a dumb question. I had just given him my name. Although there could be tons of Iero kids running around.

"Well, for one, I know Frankie and he has mentioned you before...Two, you and him lookalike...And I'm not saying a little, I mean ALOT." Bert laughed.

"That's because we are twins, silly." I smiled at his goofiness. "So, you know Frank?"

"Yeah...Gerard introduced me to him a long time ago and we became close friends." He said.

I didn't notice, but I cringed at Gerard's name and mumbled something to myself.

"Come again?" Bert said. He must have heard my mumbling.

"Oh...I just said that Gerard is a confusing piece of shit." I gasped and covered my mouth as it was a mistake for that coming out.

"What did he do to you?" Bert asked a sympathetic look on his face.

"Well, nothing, really...I mean it's not like we were dating or anything...But he acted like he had a crush on me the other day." I explained. "You know, he put his arm around me, laid his head on my shoulder, bought me things...Shit like that. And then when I come to school today, I see him making out with his girlfriend." I rambled.

"Well then he probably does like you, Ava. Though he's afraid to let go of his girlfriend." Bert nodded.

"True..." I thought about what Bert had just said.

"You know, a few years ago, me and Gerard had started dating. But he broke up with me soon after because he found out that he was truly straight... I didn't mind about that, but it hurt me because I loved him." Bert said.

"I'm sorry about that..." I looked up at Bert. That was a worse situation than the one I was in.

"Not your fault." He smiled at me. "I mean when I started going with him I found out that I was gay...Oh, you're not homophobic, are you?" He asked, worriedly.

I laughed and shook my head. "No, hun. I like hanging out with gay people..."

Bert grinned and stood up. "In that case, would you like to link arms and skip with me back to class?" He put his hand up to his mouth and giggled like a little girl.

"Sure thing." I smiled and linked my arm with his and we skipped. Bert wasn't as rude as he looked whenever I first met him. He was actually very nice.
