I was amazed at how much my opinion of Gerard had changed through seeing his notebook. He wasn't a poser. He was a genuine person. When I awoke on Wednesday morning, I decided yo personally give the notebook back to him. He had probably already driven himself crazy looking for it. Not only that, but I wanted to apologize, for everything. I had been a total asshole to him for absolutely no reason.
The day flew by and I was now sitting in 6th period. Then, I had a great idea. I took out Gerard's notebook, flipped to the last page, and wrote, "I have something to say but I want to say it in person. Meet me by your locker after school." I saw no need to sign the note; it was pretty obvious who it was from. I hope this works... Then the bell rang and I proceeded to chemistry.
I was nervous as I walked into the room and took my usual seat next to Gerard. He didn't even glance at me. I put the notebook down in front of him. His head shot up and his eyes were wide. "You left it here yesterday," I said calmly. His look softened, from anger to surprise.
"Oh... well thanks, then," he replied. He flipped through it, to make sure nothing was missing. The note on the last page caught him by surprise. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched him read it. I couldn't read is expression. He closed the book and we didn't talk for the rest of class.
