Mikey Way seemed like an ordinary sophomore. He was a thin boy with sandy brown hair and black framed glasses. You could say that he was attractive.

He was in the boys' locker room stripping off his gym clothes and started dressing back into his uniform. He hated having P.E. for first period. It made him all sweaty and it was during the beginning of the school day. But there was one thing that he admired very much about his gym class. That reason was bending down right in front of him in nothing but a towel.

Blake Kings was a senior that Mikey had had a crush on since his freshman year. Blake had tanned muscles that flexed every time he worked out which Mikey didn't mind taking a glance at every once in a while. Blake also had wavy dark brown hair that Mikey thought looked adorable when tied up. He was beautiful in his eyes.

Mikey continued to look at Blake. He knew prom was only a week away. Although he was only a sophomore, it seemed as though everyone he knew was going. Mikey's friend Frank was a grade below him but had a senior girlfriend so it was no surprise the two were attending. Even his older brother Gerard, the mysterious good looking guy he was, could get a date in a snap. It didn't seem like Mikey could get a date anyway. Everyone knew that he was one of the two guys that were openly gay at the school. He had come out when he started high school; he lost many friends and even made new foes. His family and closest friends, however, were fine about it, but it seemed like there wasn't any place where Mikey felt wanted.

"Hey Kings! I think the faggot is checking you out!" a random jock shouted.

Mikey started to blush and then hid his face in his locker. He snuck a peek to see the reaction on Blake's face. He did not find disgust what so ever. In fact, Blake smiled at him, and it wasn't just an apologetic smile. Mikey noticed that it was also the type of smile you give someone when you're checking them out and trying to be flirty. Mikey smiled back, but it was more of a shy smile than a flirty one. Blake chuckled lightly and surprisingly, gave him a wink. Mikey started blushing and put his face back into his locker.

"Hey baby." Frank heard a female voice say.

He knew who it was even before the cat calls and wolf whistles. He turned away from his locker, put his arms around his girlfriend Madison, and then greeted her with a kiss on the lips.

"Hey sweetie," he said to her. "You're looking pretty cute in your cheerleading uniform."

Frank checked out Madison in her blue and white uniform. He noticed that her hair was also tied up into a ponytail. He thought she looked adorable when her hair was up.

"Come sit with me." Frank said as he took Madison's hand in his.

The couple walked towards a bench and once they sat down, they couldn't stop looking into each other's eyes.

"You have beautiful eyes." Madison stated as she smiled and looked deeply into her boyfriend's eyes.

"You have something in your eye." Frank replied.

Madison giggled and leaned towards him, thinking it was just a funny pick up line. But instead of feeling Frank's lips on hers, Madison felt his fingers jabbing her left eye. Madison winced at the small pain she had received. Frank wiped off the eye booger he gotten from her eye on her uniform. The dismissal then rang.

"That's the bell." Frank noted. He gave a still wincing Madison a kiss on her cheek. "Have fun at cheerleading practice. See you after class."

2nd Period

"Hey Penny." Charlotte greeted her friend Penelope as she entered their Art class.

"Hi." Penelope greeted back.

Penelope was an average looking girl but with a fair complexion, pale blue eyes, pink lips, and wavy brown hair that she liked to keep tied up most of the time. The two girls put on their smocks and then went to their paintings from last week that they needed to finish up.

"Eli asked me to prom while I was on my way here." Penelope said while she and Charlotte painted away.

"What did you tell him?" Charlotte asked.

"Told him it was nice of him to ask but that I wasn't interested."

"How come? Eli is a decent guy."

"He doesn't seem like my type. Plus, he smells weird."

"Or maybe you're just hoping that Gerard ask you." Charlotte teased.

Penelope blushed. Charlotte knew that she had had a crush on Gerard Way for a long time now. He was beautiful, in her opinion. He was uniquely beautiful, like a painting or a sculpture. Penelope knew that he also had a love for art just like she did. They could be such a perfect couple she thought, if only she had the courage.

"Gerard's not going to ask me." Penelope said with her head down.

"Then why don't you ask him?" Charlotte suggested. "He's only a few seats away from us. You could just go over and ask."

"I can't. It's just weird for a girl to ask a guy out. Plus, I'm too nervous to go over there."

"I can fix that. Hey Gerard."

Gerard turned his head away from his painting and looked towards Charlotte and Penelope's direction. Charlotte motioned for him to come over.

"Charlotte just forget it." Penelope pleaded. "I'll just change my mind about Eli."

"Too late Penny. Gee is already on his way here."

Penelope looked up and Gerard was, as a matter of fact, already walking towards the two girls.

"Hello ladies." Gerard greeted the girls.

"Penelope would like to ask you something." Charlotte told him.

Gerard turned towards Penelope and gave her a friendly smile.

"What's up Penelope?"

Penelope stood up so she was now fully face to face with Gerard. She started to stammer.

"Um, I know this is weird to ask since I'm a girl and all but would you, um, like to, uh, go to prom with me?"

Gerard's smile grew a bit and then he gave Penelope a peck on the cheek.

"I'd love to go to prom with you." he said.

Penelope's eyes lit up and she started to grin.

"Really?"

Gerard nodded and gave her another kiss on the cheek.

"I'll pick you up at around 6:30. We'll then drive there."

"Okay."

"Cool." Gerard then walked back to his painting.

When he left, Penelope started to blush and giggle.

"God I'm so happy now." she squealed.

"I told you." Charlotte said. "Just ask and don't be so nervous."

For the rest of the class, Penelope couldn't stop smiling.
