My Fall Out Romance

Chapter 2

*Mikey*

“Where the fuck is Pete at?” I yelled aloud.

“He should be on his way out now,” that new boy, I think his name is Patrick, alerted me.

I smiled, “thanks.”

I seen the Tarrison door open and annoying ass Ryleigh stepped out first, then Kayleigh. Oh man she was sexy; she had her hair in a sideways ponytail, her normal white oxford covered by her black skull hoodie. Her black and white plaid skirt and black ballet slippers. She had her eyeglasses on that I loved so much even though she hates them. I couldn’t help but smile as she walked up to me, threw her arms around my neck and kissed my cheek.

“Good morning beautiful.”

“Good morning sexy guy.”

She then went over to CiCi and he squeezed her tight. CiCi is the only other dude I want touching her.

“Good morning Travie,” she said playfully rolling her eyes.

“Mmm Mmm good morning to you,” he slapped her on the butt, “Pat Ass………. Phew…… Mmmm………….. Mmmmmm!”

“Ew……… don‘t touch me.”

“What…….. I‘ll do it again……… Say I won‘t.”

She turned away and ignored him. She then walked up to the new boy and they squeezed each other real tight, they even kissed each others cheeks before she went over and embraced Hayley. I could see the lust he had in his eyes for her. He better know what he’s fuckin with before he fucks with it.

“Okay as usual Frankie, Petey and Gee are missing,” Kayleigh said aloud folding her arms.

“Well Frankie‘s mom is taking him to school,” Ryleigh replied and everyone laughed.

“Ole momma‘s boy ass…” Travie joked.

“Uh Pete said he‘d be right out,” Patrick told her making me annoyed.

“The king… is here… let’s roll,” Pete said slamming his front door.

He walked down his steps then announced while pointing at each of us, “So quick intro to all… everyone this is Patrick my best friend and he‘s gonna be hanging with us from now on. So Patrick this is Mikey Way…Travie McCoy… Joe Trohman… Andy Hurley… Dirty… Hayley Williams… Gabe Saporta… Amy Lee… Ray Toro… and… Bob Bryar.”

He smiled, gave a slight wave and we began walking down the street. We didn’t walk no more than five feet when I heard my brother calling my name.

“Mikey!”

“What Gee?”

“You wanna ride? Ryleigh you wanna ride?”

“Oh hell yeah… I need some more rest… Gerard you’re a lifesaver,” Ryleigh said as she ran and hopped in the front seat.

“Mikey… you coming?” Gerard asked and I shook my head no.

“No… No thanks Gee… I don‘t wanna ride,” Kayleigh yelled to him.

“I‘m sorry Kayles… I needed to talk to them, but as usual your little boyfriend is being a whore,”

As she giggled I shot my eyes over at him and he blew me a kiss before peeling out. I swear I hate him sometimes. Good now Ryleigh’s gone maybe I can talk to Kayleigh. I looked over at her and noticed she had her arm interlocked with Patrick’s. I was furious! What the hell is going on?

CiCi put his arm around my shoulder, “she‘s just being friendly Michael… calm down!”

I ignored him.

“I love your Patrick Star book-bag,” I heard Patrick tell her.

“I love your Patrick Star book-bag,” I quietly mocked him.

“Mikey… I said chill!”

I rolled my eyes. This little midget’s only been here for a day and she’s all googly eyed over him. I’ve been in love with this girl since the 1st grade and she’s never acted like that to me. It’s so fucking unfair.

*Ryleigh*

So now it’s me and Gerard… in his car… alone. Well, this is definitely new, and just a tad awkward. What should I talk about? Why am I even worried though? I talk to guys all the time. So why am I being all shy all of a sudden? This is weird……….

“Excited for school,” Gerard asked randomly.

“Yeah, I’m pretty excited for all the homework, tests, hard projects, boring teachers and all that. Yeah, I’m ecstatic,” I said sarcastically with a grin.

“Haha, still sarcastic as ever I see. You’ll never change,” he said with a cute smile.

“Of course not.”

“So, fill me in from last year. What I miss while I was gone?”

“Ummm… not too much really. Everyone’s the same.”

“That can’t be true! I see a difference already.”

“What?”

“I don’t remember you being this gorgeous,” he said with a quick glimpse of me and a smile on his face.

“……………………………... Ummmmmmm………. lets cut on the radio shall we,” I said quickly as I turned the radio on some commercials.

God, why did he have to say something like that?! I can feel myself turning beet red and I know he noticed it because he’s over there chuckling. CHUCKLING, mind you! I don’t find anything funny! But………he is awfully cute……….No! What am I doing?! I’m dating Frankie! Bad Ryleigh! BAD!

“I love this band,” Gerard said happily as he turned up the radio.

When I finally zoned back in, I noticed it was Smashing Pumpkins. He likes them to? I love them! And it’s my favorite song, ‘Zero’!

“I love this band, hardcore,” I told him excitedly.

“A girl from my own heart,” he said as he ruffled my hair with his hand.

He just loves making me blush like this doesn’t he?

On the rest of the ride to school, we sang this song out loud totally rocking out. At first I was shocked that he could sing. I didn’t know he could sing! He has such a hot voice………..ehem! Anyways! We were already at school way before the song was even over. But we weren’t getting out of this damn car until this song is over!

“EMPTINESS IS LONELINESS, AND LONELINESS IS CLEANLINESS! AND CLEANLINESS IS GODLINESS, AND GOD IS EMPTY JUST LIKE…..MEEEEEEEEEE,” we sang loudly together before we rocked out together.

When the song finally finished, me and Gerard were beat! That’s what I get for rocking my head that damn hard, because I have a slam headache now!

“Woooo! That was fun but next time, lets calm it down a bit,” I told Gerard.

“Agreed.”

“Well……………thanks for the ride,” I said quickly as I was about to get out his car.

“Wait, Ryleigh,” he stopped me.

When I turned back to face him, our faces were so close that our noses were touching. Since when was he this close?! Since when can I not move?! His gorgeous hazel eyes were practically burning into my icy blue eyes. He wouldn’t…………….He started inching closer and closer, and I couldn’t move a budge. I should move and move fast…………but deep down inside I wanted that kiss just as much as him.

Finally our lips met and I thought I would melt. He was so soft and gentle. At first I was still, but then I started to kiss him back. I didn’t mean to! It was an instinct…………..it felt so right…….IT’S PEER PRESSURE!………….Okay, fine……I’m kissing Gerard and I like it! I let on to temptation…….everybody does sometimes. This was my time. Once he tried to move on with some tongue, I moved then. I’m not that bad!

“Ummmmmm…………I….I….should go before I’m late,” I managed to get out as I was about to open the car door.

“Here, let me get that for you,” he said as he grabbed his book bag, rushed out the car, and came to open the door for me.

I don’t remember him being this sweet….Anyways, I thanked him and hurried on to school, but he hurried right along with me. I can’t run fast at all, so me and Gerard walked to school together. I even let him have his arm over my shoulder so our sides were pressed together. And not just because I liked it! Because I didn’t feel like fighting with it.

So me and Gerard were walking quietly to school together. While we were walking everybody was whispering all around us. Probably about bad boy Gerard being back in town. The arrivals of Pete and Gerard will be the biggest gossips this year. Off topic, but I wonder where the others are?

“FEISTY! RYLEIGH! Your Coby Baby is back for ya,” I heard a really hot voice yell from behind me.

I looked to see if it really was my Coby Baby. And low and behold was my number one best friend, Jacoby Shaddix. He still kept in shape I see, and his gorgeous, spiky black hair was still adorable on him. He looked like he got a light tan. Well………..in any case……………….. JACOBY!!!!!!! I rushed away from Gerard and jumped on Jacoby so he could twirl me around. My bestest best friend is back!

“I missed you soooooooo much! How was my Coby baby,” I asked still holding on to him tight.

“Just fine, how about my feisty, Ryleigh? How was your summer,” he asked with a big grin.

“It was cool, since you left I just hung with Frankie,” I told him happily.

“What fun,” he said sarcastically.

“Stop teasing him,” I said as I lightly slapped him on the arm.

“I was just kidding!”

“You better be!”

“ Guess who’s back, Jacoby,” I heard Gerard yell.

“Well if it isn’t bad boy Gerard! What are you doing here,” Jacoby asked excitedly as he went to hug Gerard.

“I’m here for my senior year. Aren’t you excited,” Gee asked him.

“Hell yeah! I can just imagine how interesting this year will be with you here!”

“Well imagine how interesting this year will be with both Gerard, AND the great, fabulous, Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz the third,” I heard Pete say somewhere.

We turned to see if it was Pete and it surely was. And right behind him was Kay, Patrick, Mikey, CiCi, Travie, Hayley, Joe, Dirty, Gabe, Amy, Andy, Bob, and Ray. Oh, shit! Here comes the crew!

*Kayleigh*

I see words coming out of his mouth, but I can’t really understand what he’s saying. Truth is I was to busy staring at him… he was gorgeous! I can’t believe Petey never told me about him.

No… bad Kayleigh… shouldn’t be thinking about him.

“You think that’s cool?” Patrick asked me.

“Huh… oh yeah that’s cool,” zoning back in pretending like I knew what he was talking about.

We walked in our normal awkward silence to the office to pick up our schedules and back to the main halls to find the rest of the crew.

He looked over at me, “so what are you doing after school today?”

I shrugged and bit my lip, “well I got cheerleading practice after school then… well I don‘t know.”

He smiled, “well you wanna get a milkshake with me?”

I looked over at him, “really?”

He quickly shook his head up and down and I bit my lip again. Actually I’ve been doing quite a lot of that lately. Wait… I’m consistently biting my lip… I get these tremendous butterflies… I’m so nervous… and I can’t stop staring at him. I think… I think… I think I’m in love!

I look over at him and he’s staring at the floor waiting on my response. Oh man… this is bad!

I opened my mouth to reply, but was interrupted by Pete, “Patrick… Kayleigh… what a surprise to see you hanging… together,” he nervously looked around, “alone!”

“Well we did kinda walk to school together and yall seemed to have abandoned him so I told him to hang with me,” I looked over at him and bit my lip.

“What Pete I can‘t hang with Kayleigh,” he looked over at me and smiled.

“I don‘t know yet,” glaring at me then back at Patrick. Shit he knows!

“Well I guess we should be going huh… what class you got first Petey?” I laughed nervously trying to change the subject.

“Uh… world studies,” staring at me uneasy.

I started walking 2 steps when everyone minus Ryleigh, Frankie, Gee and Jacoby came outta nowhere, they were laughing and talking loudly.

“Come on lets go meet up with Ryleigh,” Pete said as he turned to move down the hall.

As I came around the corner I seen Ryleigh, Gerard, and… shit Jacoby!

“Come on Kayleigh I think we should tell Jacoby hi,” Pete came outta nowhere again scaring the crap outta me.

“I‘m coming,” I whispered to him a little annoyed.

“You better,” matching my tone then yelling and walking over to my sister and her crew, “well imagine how interesting this year will be with both Gerard AND the great, fabulous, Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz the third!”

Jacoby went in for a hug and I slowly walked up to them.

“Kayles,” Jacoby spotted me, “come here baby… I missed you so much!”

He grabbed me up and swung me around, “hey Jacoby baby.”

He pressed his lips against mine and I kissed him back. As he put me down I noticed Pete glaring at me with his eyebrow raised. I avoided any eye contact with him.

“I missed you too,” I faked a smile while he leaned down and kissed my neck.

“What class you have first baby,” hugging me close.

“Child development,” I replied and looked over at Patrick who was looking a little upset. Pete noticed me looking in that direction and grabbed Patrick’s arm pulling him away.

“Jacoby I would like you to meet my buddy, this is Patrick… Patrick this is Kayleigh‘s boyfriend Jacoby Shaddix.”

“Nice to meet you Jacoby,” Patrick held his hand out, but Jacoby just looked at it and back at me.

“So anyway Ry we hanging out after school today,” completely ignoring Patrick.

She laughed, “sure!”

“Well I gotta get going,” I announced as the bell rang.

“Where you going without giving me a kiss first? Lemme walk you to class baby,” Jacoby asked while snatching me up again.

“No daddy its okay… I don‘t want you to be late. Besides I got Mikey and CiCi to protect me,” we all laughed.

I gave him a big juicy kiss and ran down the hall to catch up with Pete and Patrick, “hey Patrick can I talk to you for a sec?”

“Sure… I guess,” sounding a little upset.

“Whatever,” Pete said and stormed off the other way.

“Hi,” I said looking over at him.

“Hey,” he replied looking to the ground.

“Star, are you mad at me?” I asked getting a little emotional.

“No why would you ask that?”

“I don‘t know, but I would like to get a milkshake with you later,” I smiled at him.

“No its cool… I don‘t wanna make your boyfriend mad,” still looking to the ground.

“Star, you can‘t see the exciting things life has to offer you looking down… keep your head up,” reaching over and lifting his chin.

He looked over at me and smiled, “okay.”

We walked in the classroom and sat together while the teacher went on and on about her name being Mrs. Jones and how we’re going be taking care of some little bad ass children for the remainder of the year. All I was doing was twirling my hair around my finger and staring over at him. From time to time he would look at me and I’d look away.

“Don‘t stare to damn hard,” CiCi whispered in my ear.

Looking over at him, “shut the hell up… I ain‘t even looking at him.”

He rolled his eyes and I did the same.

“Okay class… I‘m going to pair you into groups of sixes… I would like Kayleigh, Patrick, Hayley, Gabriel, William and Mikey in one group…”

That was all I needed to hear and now… my year was complete. I had all three of my best friends in a group… not to mention Patrick. This class was the bomb dot com!

“Great short stuff is in our group,” Mikey sarcastically replied.

“Which one? The girls or the new guy,” CiCi asked sitting at my table now.

“Yeah the leprechaun over there,” they both laughed hysterically.

“Ehem,” clearing my throat really loudly.

“Awwww… come on guys… give him a break,” Hayley replied twisting her pencil in between her fingers.

“Can you give me a break Hayley,” Gabe asked licking his lips.

She looked at him disgusted then looked back at Mikey, “oooo someone‘s jea…”

“Hayley I swear if that word comes out your mouth I will…”

“You‘ll what!”

“Trust me you don‘t wanna find out!”

“Maybe I do!”

“No… you really don‘t!”

“I really do!”

“ENOUGH,” I yelled. I was getting tired of their bickering. If they like each other they need to hook up and get it over with.

“Look… like it or not we‘re a group and we need to start getting along because I swear if I get anything less than an A… heads are gonna roll,” CiCi looked really annoyed, “I have to maintain my 4.0”

“Well me too dammit,” Hayley replied.

“And me,” I followed.

“Okay… and so do I, but that‘s beside the point,” Mikey added.

“What… yall think yall better than me cause the highest grade I get is a D,” Gabe replied with a devilish grin.

“Shut up,” me, Mikey, Hayley and CiCi replied in unison.

“This is gonna be hell… I can see it already,” I said slapping my forehead.

“Tell me about it,” CiCi replied.

As the four of them continued to ramble on I turned my attention back to Patrick.

I bit my lip and smiled, “so you still gonna get me that milkshake?”

He nodded, “I‘ll buy you whatever you want!”

This boy hasn’t been here for two days and he already knows how to make my heart race… this can’t be good!

*Pete*

“Well, Lunchbox! As you can see probably, we don’t have to worry about Mrs. Pearl in Moral Theology. She’s super nice and won’t mind your hat,” I said as me and Patrick walked through the halls on our way to Biology with my other six buddies. Otherwise known as Ray, CiCi, Mikey, Gabe, Hayley, and Amy.

“I’m surprised you got away with it in your first period,” Ray said shockingly.

“She didn’t say anything so I guess she didn’t care,” Patrick shrugged.

“That’s obvious……….,” I heard Mikey mumble.

“Shhhhhhhh,” CiCi shushed him.

“What’s wrong, Mikey? Didn’t have your coffee this morning,” I asked him with a smile.

“Don’t mind him, he just rolled on the wrong side of the bed,” CiCi smiled.

“Don’t worry, Mikey! I did too! Hayley wasn’t on the other side of me,” Gabe said as he winked at Hayley.

“And I never will,” Hayley said with a smirk.

“Are you two going out? I been meaning to ask,” Patrick asked.

“Why do you even need to know,” Gabe asked him in return.

“Who would even ask a dumb question like that,” Hayley added.

“Apparently him,” Mikey finished.

Uh-oh……….they’re being mean again.

“Come on, people! No need to be mean to Patrick! If you all would give him a chance, you would like him,” I said in his defense.

“Maybe,” Amy said doubtfully.

“Then again, maybe not,” Mikey said as they all went into our next classroom.

“They really don’t like me, do they,” Patrick asked while frowning.

“They’re just getting used to you, that’s all. No worries, soon you will be one of us! They just………don’t know how to act around people, that’s all! Just be yourself, and lets go to class,” I said as I pushed him lightly in the classroom.

Mikey and the others were sitting in the back with Kayleigh, Jacoby, Travie, Joe, Bob, Andy, and Dirty. Patrick went to sit next to Kayleigh, but Mikey took that seat and CiCi took the seat in front of her. So Patrick sat next to CiCi. Kayleigh greeted him with a sweet smile that made him blush deep red. Which is odd, since Kayleigh is usually mean like the others. Hmmm, I can tell Lunchbox likes her! That’s a damn given, but Kayles couldn’t like him back! NO WAY!

“Peter, peter pumpkin eater! You in this class too,” Dirty asked excitedly.

“Hell yeah!”

“Shit man, almost the whole crew in here,” Travie grinned.

“Yeah, we are only missing Ryleigh, Frankie, and Gerard no,” Andy said.

“One of the three wildest out of the group. Maybe it’s a good thing they aren’t here or else it would be to much for the teacher,” Bob told us.

“Well, guess what? It just got harder for the teacher, because here comes the one and only Gerard Way,” Gerard yelled bringing all the students’ and our attentions to him.

“What are you doing here? This is a junior class,” Mikey stated.

“I failed Biology last year, so I have to re-do this class this year. Looks like you’re stuck with me brother,” Gerard said happily as he sat in front of Travie.

“Gerard is here too!? This class is going to be fucking hilarious,” Joe laughed.

“Do not use that type of language in my class, Mr. Trohman,” we heard someone say.

We turned to see who got in our conversation to see that it was the horrible, strict, evil Ms. Stevens. Oh, god! That evil witch is our teacher!? That sucks ass! I quickly got off Dirty’s desk and sat in between Patrick and Gerard. Why does Ms. Stevens have to be our teacher?!

“Well class, for those that don’t know me I’m Ms. Stevens. Let me tell you right off the bat that I will not tolerate any foolishness. Hint, hint for those in the back,” she said as she glared at us all.

What?! We didn’t even do anything,” Travie said getting offended.

“I didn’t point any fingers, Mr. McCoy. I was warning all of my students.”

“That’s why she glared at us, huh,” CiCi whispered that made us all snicker.

“Well, no need to worry about us! We’ll be good,” Gerard stated with a thumbs up.

“Yeah, just call us your little angels,” I said with a big smile.

“Lets not go that far, Mr. Wentz. Anyway class, before I start roll call we have a new student with us. His name is---”

“Well, if it isn’t my favorite teacher in the whole wide world, Ms. Stevens. What’s kickin’,” Frankie asked as he rolled right in while holding Ryleigh’s hand, who also held that mischievous grin that matched his.

Wait……..why are they holding hands? Are they…….no……it couldn’t be. They can’t be going out! Could they?

“Well if it isn’t Mr. Iero and Mrs. Tarrison. Glad you two decided to grace us with your presence,” she said sarcastically.

“Of course! We wouldn’t miss this class for the world,” Frankie said happily so you couldn’t even detect the sarcasm.

“Even more so with you being our teacher, Ms. Stevens,” Ryleigh said sweetly as she twirled one of her pigtails with her free hand.

“Mmhmmmm, well you two know my rule. Tardy-ness earns you detention. I’ll be seeing you two after school,” Ms. Stevens said with a victorious grin.

“But Ms. Stevens,” they whined in unison.

“No, buts! Now go sit down so I can finish what I was doing before you two interrupted.”

So they let it go, and came to the rest of us quietly. That is until Frankie laid his eyes on Gerard. He quickly let go of Ryleigh’s hand and ran over to him. The two best friends have finally reunited.

Gerard, I didn’t know you were back! Since when were you here,” Frankie asked excitedly while standing in front of Gee’s desk.

“I been here since yesterday,” Gerard laughed.

“MR. IERO, SIT DOWN NOW,” Ms. Stevens yelled.

“And you didn’t tell me?! Shame on you,” Frankie said ignoring Ms. Stevens totally. Which I have to say was hilarious.

“Sorry man, you know I’m bad at calling. Where were you this morning?”

“Mom was pressed to drive me to school,” Frankie rolled his eyes.

“MR. IERO!”

“Knowing Momma Iero, probably so she could warn you to be good this year one last time,” Gerard laughed while ignoring Ms. Stevens again.

“You guessed it. Oooo, guess what hottie I scored last year while you were gone,” Frankie said excitedly with a big grin.

“Oh shit, Frankie got a girl?! Who’s the lucky girl,” Gerard asked.

“Mr. Way! Watch the language,” Ms. Stevens yelled again.

“The one and only hot Miss Ryleigh Tarrison,” Frankie said proudly as Ryleigh walked up to him and wrapped her arms around Frankie’s waist and Frankie wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

Frankie is going out with Ryleigh?! But………..I loved her first…….By the look on Gerard’s face he didn’t know about them going out either. Gerard and Ryleigh locked eyes and never dared to look away. Okay………what did I miss here?

“Wait……..but I thought Ryleigh and Gerard had a thing going on,” Patrick asked.

“……Why would you think that? In fact, who are you?! Since when were you around? Did I miss something,” Frankie asked all of us.

“This is my new best friend Patrick Stumph. Patrick this is Frankie Iero. And don’t mind him Frankie, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” I said with a nervous smile.

“Oh………………..well what’s up, fire crotch,” Frankie said with a grin.

“MR. IERO AND MISS TARRISON!”

Yes, Ms. Stevens,” Frankie asked sweetly.

“Will you two sit down so I can finally continue with the class,” Ms. Stevens asked angrily .

“Sure thing,” Frankie said with a huge smile as he sat down next to Gerard and Ryleigh sat next to Frankie.

“Good, now we have a new student named Patrick Stumph from Chicago.”

“A.K.A Fire Crotch for the rest of you,” Frankie said as everyone laughed except for Kayleigh, Patrick, me, and the teacher.

“Frankie,” Kayleigh yelled as she glared at Frankie.

“What?! What did I do?!”

“You insulted her little pet, that’s what,” Mikey said sarcastically.

“Oh shit! My bad, Kay! I didn’t know you had a little man servant!”

“He’s not my man servant or my pet! I just don’t see why you all have to be mean is all,” Kayleigh defended herself.

“Whatever! You have a new pet and his name is Patrick,” CiCi laughed.

“New pet, huh? If you wanted one you could have asked me and I could have gotten you something even better……..like a dog,” Jacoby said with a slight attitude.

“Daddy, he’s not my pet! They’re just kidding,” Kayleigh tried to reassure him.

“Then why are you defending him so?”

“I’m just being nice, that’s all!”

“Since when were you so nice……”

“Since now! Don’t be so jealous, Jacoby! Calm down or I’ll calm you down myself,” Ryleigh yelled at him

“………Fine………”

“May I continue with my class, PLEASE,” Ms. Stevens yelled.

“Yes you may, Ms. Stevens,” Dirty said politely, yet sarcastically.

“…………Anyway, and we should welcome back Gerard Way and Peter Wentz………..great,” Ms. Stevens said as she rolled her eyes.

All the other students clapped and both me and Gerard stood up and took a bow. His wasn’t as good as mine though. Is he really upset about the whole Frankie and Ryleigh that much?

When we sat down Ms. Stevens continued and said, “And now I will take roll and then afterwards tell some of the things I plan to teach you this school year. Now lets continue.”

And now it’s time to zone out! Sorry I don’t care about the attendance. So I’m going to text that hot chick I went on a date with yesterday. So while I was texting Alicia, I kept hearing Gerard and Frankie whispering to each other. They were talking about Frankie’s relationship with Ryleigh. About how they got together and when. Stuff like that. The thing is…………..Gerard seemed bummed out about their relationship……………no………….he couldn’t!

I didn’t get enough sleep yesterday, that’s all! The rest of the class was boring! That’s because the people that get rowdy in our group are Frankie, Amy, Joe, Dirty, Ryleigh, Travie, Gabe, and Gerard. And they all fell asleep! Kayleigh is passing notes with Hayley, Patrick is actually paying attention, Mikey is secretly listening to his Ipod, and CiCi is over there doodling……….As if he could draw……….ha! Anyway and Ray, Bob, and Andy were playing Tic-Tac-Toe. So……..yeah…..I’m bored. All was boring, until Ms. Stevens noticed Patrick’s damn hat.

“Mr. Stumph, you are a lucky one for me not noticing earlier. Why are you wearing that hat,” Ms. Stevens asked him.

“Because…………I always do…………”

“Well not in Allyria High! Take it off please,” Ms. Stevens asked Patrick.

“Come on, Ms. Stevens! He’s new and it’s the first day of school! You can’t let him go for just one day? Please,” I begged with her.

“No! He is now a student, so he must follow the rules now! So, take off your hat.”

“I still think he should be able to wear his hat at least for one day. After all the money he has to pay for this expensive school,” I stated.

“Pete, it’s okay. I don’t mind taking off my hat,” Patrick told me.

“Pete………stay out of this, before I decide to give you a detention,” Ms. Stevens said through her clenched teeth.

“No, I shall not stay out of my best friend’s business! I’m going to protect him,” I told her confidently.

“Fine, Pete! Then you now have a------,” she tried to say but the bell rang signaling the end of class.

“Place I got to be going to! Sorry Ms. Stevens, I got to go! Bye,” I said as I grabbed my book bag and practically ran out of the classroom.

Haha! I don’t have to worry about that stupid detention now!

*Patrick*

“Patrick… I want you to tell me right now that you don‘t like Kayleigh,” Pete whispered from behind me. I tried to ignore him, but of course it didn’t work.

“Dammit Patrick I know you hear me,” Pete said even louder this time.

“Mr. Wentz do you have something you would like to share with the class?” Mrs. Mason, our algebra teacher, asked.

“No Mrs. Mason… I apologize,” he said innocently, then whispered to me, “you‘re gonna answer me soon as this class is over.”

Pete demanded and I knew I’d have to answer. I can never escape him he’s like the damn police. When the bell rang for the end of class, I jetted out the door just to run smack into Kayleigh.

“Whoa… in a rush are we,” she bent down to pick up her books I knocked outta her hand.

“I‘m sorry sweetheart,” I replied while bending down to help her.

“It‘s cool… so what class you got next?”

“Um… Yearbook,” I replied stacking her books.

“Me too,” sounding excited.

“Well can I carry your books to class for you?”

She looked over at me and smiled, “um if you want.”

I grabbed all her books and stacked them on top of mine and we made our way to our 7th pd class.

“Good afternoon class… I am your teacher Mrs. Hemlock and this class is to help make our yearbook look the best it could be. I‘m sure we’re all going to have a great time this year,” our teacher announced.

I continued to look at her out the corner of my eye while she twirled a piece of her hair around her finger. I wanted to tell her how I felt, but she had a boyfriend… a really big and strong boyfriend who seems like a dick already. I continued to stare over at her and her eyes met mine. We quickly looked away, but slowly looked back at each other. She smiled at me and I smiled back.

“What,” she asked biting her lip.

“Just admiring how cute you are,” I replied looking at my paperwork while she gave me the biggest smile ever.

Suddenly Mikey leaned over me, “Kayles can you switch seats with me so I can sit next to CiCi cause I kinda don‘t wanna hear Romeo over here trying to pick up on my best friend.”

I looked at him a little pissed. What the hell is wrong with these people? Am I that much of an outsider? Kayleigh got up and switched her seat with him.

“Mikey… calm down and don‘t be so damn rude,” Kayleigh annoyingly whispered to him.

“What! You‘re my sis and I have every right to protect you,” Mikey replied folding his arms.

“Mikey… stop being jealous,” Hayley said without even looking away from her paper.

“Jealous of what,” sounding really annoyed.

Hayley slammed her pencil down and looked over at Mikey, “Awwww… you think you‘re secrets gonna be a secret for the rest of your life?”

“Shut the fuck up Hayley…”

“I have all right mind to tell that secret… right now.”

“Shut the fuck up Hayley…”

“Kayleigh… girl I really have the most juiciest secret you would ever…”

“SHUT THE FUCK UP HAYLEY!”

“Mr. Way…” Mrs. Hemlock yelled

“Yes,” Gerard and Mikey said at the same time.

“Oh… not you Gerard… for once your being the good student,” cutting her eyes back to Mikey, “but you Mikey… watch that dirty little mouth of yours… next time I won’t hesitate to throw you in detention!”

“I‘m sorry… it won‘t happen again.”

Mikey looked back over to Hayley, “happy now!”

“Alright… I’ll shut up,” whispering over to him sounding innocent, “but it will get out one day… you can bet your skinny ass it will.”

“Now… now… there’s no need for this hostility,” Gerard calmly announced while doodling a superhero in his notebook.

Mikey looked over at him very agitated, “Gee no one invited you in this convo.”

“I invited my-damn-self,” smiling innocently at him.

“Hey… hey… some of us are trying to learn over here… sheesh,” CiCi sarcastically said.

Everyone looked over at him with an annoyed face.

“Whoa! What’s eating everyone’s ass today?

“Shut up CiCi,” they all replied in unison.

“Fine… whatever, but don’t come asking for any of my damn answers. You bastards should’ve been paying attention,”

“Like I give a shit about coping you,” Hayley replied.

“SHHHHHHHHHH,” Gerard said as loud as he could.

“I will break up that little group in the corner if you all don‘t learn how to behave,” Mrs. Hemlock replied starting to sound a little annoyed, “when I‘m talking I don‘t want to hear no one… I repeat… NO ONE talking over me… understood!”

We all shook our heads in unison.

“Sorry,” Kayleigh leaned over and whispered, “Mikey and CiCi are like my big brothers and they‘re real protective.”

I laughed uneasily, “sure… I just get the feeling no one likes me but you… and well Pete.”

“I like you too,” Gerard replied outta nowhere.

“Really,” directing my attention to him.

“Yes… I Gerard Way… know how to greet and treat someone… and I am greeting you into our little crew.”

“I can‘t believe outta everyone… you and Kayleigh are the only two nice to me,” looking surprised.

“Well I personally ain‘t an asshole.”

“Yeah the fuck right,” CiCi replied.

“I am hurt by those words…” he pretended to be crying.

“Ehem….” the teacher cleared her throat.

Everyone went back to pretending they were listening.

The bell for class rang and everyone made their way out the door. Kayleigh went on up ahead with Mikey, CiCi, Hayley and Gerard. Just as I was walking out the door Pete came up and slapped me on the back.

“Patrick… Patrick… you tried to escape from me, but I‘m here and I’m still waiting on an answer to my little question I asked like hours ago.”

“What question?” playing stupid.

“Dammit, don‘t play stupid with me Patrick,” he folded his arms, “do you like Kayleigh or not?”

“Yeah sure she’s a great friend… much better than the others.” I said being a smartass.

He raised his eyebrow, “okay smartass, let me just tell you… her boyfriend is quarterback of the varsity football team. He is much bigger… much faster… and a hell of a lot stronger than you. So my advice to you is find someone else… consider yourself warned!”

With that said Pete disappeared in the crowd and I made my way to my acting class. I know she has a boyfriend… its one of the main reasons I didn’t really wanna be around her, but I just can’t help myself, she’s the only one really nice to me. And she’s just so adorable I can’t help it. This girl is really running through my mind and there’s nothing I can do about it. I walk in the class and take a seat just as the bell rings for class to begin. The teacher was about to speak when she came running through the door, but not before she kissed Jacoby goodbye.

“”I’m so so so sorry Mrs. Anderson,” she said as she rushed past her and unknowingly sat next to me.

“Its fine Kayleigh… your our head cheerleader and he‘s our quarterback, how could I break up that adorable couple,” the teacher smiled at her.

“Yeah I guess,” she mumbled and pulled out her pink notebook and laid her head in the palm of her hand.

I leaned over and whispered, “you following me?”

“Star… hey… I didn‘t know you had this class with me,” giving me the biggest smile ever, “anybody else in here?”

“Nope.”

“Well I guess its just you and me tiger,” she scooted close to me.

“Okay now that I’ve taken roll and this is our first class I would like you to get to know one another. So please walk around and meet everyone because you will be real acquainted by the end of the year… so lets get those awkward meetings out the way,” Mrs. Anderson announced then went and sat at her desk to read her romance novel.

She turned to me and I smiled at her, “so Star do you like it here so far?”

“Well… you make me like it here,” avoiding her eyes.

She looked down at the table and smiled, “I know the others can be a bit mean, but trust me once they get to know you… they‘ll love you and you‘ll just fit right in.”

“Well until then I really enjoy having you as my only best friend,” I stared over at her.

She looked up at me and scooted her stool closer to mine, “you‘re so sweet Patrick… I just wanna eat you up.”

“Hell… I don‘t mind,” I smiled and she blushed.

“I almost forgot children… I would like you to pick a partner for class. Someone you feel really comfortable with and don’t mind looking kinda silly in front of. So take your time and meet new friends,” she went back to reading her book.

Kayleigh looked over at me and smiled, I smiled back.

“So Star… you wanna be my partner,” biting her lip.

“I‘ll be whatever you want me to be” I replied shocking myself and making her blush.

“She looked over at me… I might just take you up on that offer one day,” she shyly smiled over at me while brushing a piece of hair outta her face and swinging her short cute legs on the stool.

We sat there in an awkward silence for awhile, “so how long you been dating Jacoby?”

“Um… since the summer before 9th grade.”

“Whoa… yall are practically married,” she gave me a funny look, “you don‘t seem happy.”

“I don’t know… I mean he‘s so sweet, but he‘s just not the one for me,” I nodded and she rolled her eyes, “I don‘t know I guess its just me… I‘m not good enough for a guy, huh?”

“Are you kidding… I would totally date you in a second,” I said overly excited.

She bit her lip, “Patrick your gonna make me blush.”

I leaned in closer to her, “really… you want me to make you blush?”

“I‘d love to see you try,” she challenged me.

I smiled at her, “maybe one day I will.”

“Maybe you will,” biting her lip.

I grabbed her hand, “I look forward to it.”

“Kayleigh, sweetie… Jacoby‘s here,” Mrs. Anderson said aloud as she seen him standing in the doorway. I immediately dropped her hand and she moved away from me.

“Hello Mrs. Anderson… you look very pretty today,” he said flashing her his pearly whites.

“Oh Jacoby… your such a sweetheart,” she blushed.

“Thank you Mrs. Anderson… I really hate to intrude on your class, but the coach needs all the football players and the cheerleaders,” he replied looking so perfect.

“I gotta go,” she looked sad.

“Okay… I hope to see you later love,” I waved to her and she smiled at me before slowly making her way up to Jacoby.

They embraced each other and he kissed her so softly making me extremely jealous. But what can I do? I’m just someone unimportant whose completely in love with someone I could never have.

*Gerard*

I’m in Math class……..alone……….with Ryleigh…….AWKWARD! Well, if I hadn’t have kissed her it wouldn’t be this bad! Why didn’t she tell me she was taken?! Wait, so technically, it’s not my fault? Nope! Haha! But I gotta know………..why didn’t she tell me anything?

“Why didn’t you tell me you were taken? I wouldn’t have kissed you if you told me,” I told her.

“It just never came up…….”

“You kidding? It came up every time we were near each other.”

“Gerard……..”

“Tell me! You should know by now that I won’t let it go until you tell me,” I reminded her.

“Mr. Way would you like to share what you were talking about with Miss Tarrison,” our Math teacher asked me.

“Only how much I am excited to have this class everyday with you, Mr. Dickinsons,” I said with a fake smile.

“Hmmm, well then calm down that excitement.”

Once he started to direct his attention to everyone else I turned back to Ryleigh and said, “I’m waiting.”

“……..FINE! You really want to know I’ll tell you……………………………I was possessed…,” she calmly said which made me laugh.

“Hahahaha! Stop being silly and tell me the truth,” I laughed.

“Alright………………..I….I kind of wanted the kiss too…….But it’s over! Done! So,letsstartoverandpretenditneverhappened!Wearejustfriendsandthat’sit!”

She’s cute when she gets nervous. She blushes and starts to play with her hair. Just thinking about all the cute stuff she does is making me smile.

“Agreed,” she asked me.

“Agreed. You know, Frankie really scored a hottie this time,” I couldn’t help but say as I lightly tugged on one of her pigtails which made her blush that beautiful crimson red I adore.

“Thanks…………..”

“Mr. Way and Miss Tarrison, please stop flirting and pay attention,” Mr. Dickinsons yelled.

“We’re not flirting! Why would you think that,” Ryleigh asked nervously.

“Just pay attention, Miss Tarrison.”

Me and Ryleigh just looked at each other one last time before we finally started paying attention. Or at least we tried. Within the next five minutes I started zoning out. And Ryleigh did too because she was doodling on a piece of paper. Frankie really did score a hottie. Her pretty light brown skin seemed to glimmer in the sunlight, her skinny petite body was so cute. I love her short messy black hair and her icy blue eyes, because they were so cute on her. And she was so feisty, that totally attracts you to her. She even looks absolutely hot in the school uniform. Her short black and white plaid skirt showed her shapely legs that she gained at cheerleading, Her white oxford was a little wrinkled and underneath you saw a bright red tee shirt. Her black blazer was really cute on her, but too bad she only carries it. And I love how she was wearing black Chuck Taylor’s instead of the right school shoes. And it was really cute how she matched Frankie even wearing a black studded belt like he was. And her tie made her look young, basically she looked like a wild catholic school girl, which she is. Damn……….let me stop because I already want her and describing her is only making it worst. She said that………..she wanted the kiss too………..Does that mean……………it doesn’t matter! She’s Frankie’s girl…..Even if she did like me back………. Frankie obviously adores her! I can’t do that to him!

“ Sorry, but I just thought about it………but……..why are you in this class,” Ryleigh randomly asked me.

“Well since you only need to take three years of math, I decided I didn’t want to take math last year. So I’m taking it this year,” I told her.

“That’s just lazy!”

“Hey! I don’t like math, it’s not my fault,” I said defensively.

“Yes it is!”

“MR. WAY AND MISS TARRISON!”

“We’re paying attention,” me and Ryleigh said in unison which made us laugh and Mr. Dickinsons glare at us more.

Now that we had to pay attention, since Mr. Dickinsons was now watching us, we were slam looking at him. But I personally was still zoning out. I really hate math, so I hope he doesn’t expect me to fully pay attention. HA! That will be the day. While I was in the process of my zone, I felt Ryleigh’s head on my shoulder. I looked over to see that she has fallen asleep. Guess she hates math as much as I do. Seeing her sleep like this, makes her even cuter. She lightly snores and her jet black hair went into her adorable face. She almost looks like an angel. Even though this is Ryleigh, I’m talking about. There’s no way she’s an angel as mischievous as she is. Haha, a mischievous angel, that’s what she is. Well, if she’s going to sleep then I’m going to sleep. So I rested my head on top of hers and fell asleep in the next 5 minutes.

**

“WAKE UP!”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH,” me and Ry yelled in unison when we both woke up and even fell out of our seats since Mr. Dickinsons just had to scare us.

“Sweet Jesus! Don’t do that! I can’t handle something like that as soon as I wake up,” Ry angrily said.

“You scared me half to death, what’s wrong,” I asked him.

I looked around to see that all the other students were gone. Damn, school must be over………

“Since you both were disrespectful as to sleep during my class, that’s detention! For both of you!”

“Shit! School’s over! Sorry I can’t stay for detention, I got plans with Coby baby after school! Sorry! Maybe next time! BYE,” Ryleigh said quickly as she grabbed her bag and ran out.

“Guess it’s just you and me then………”

“Sorry, I got plans too! See ya,” I said as I rushed out also.

I'll be damn if Imma be left with him!

Chapter 1

*Kayleigh*

“Ry get the fuck up!” I yelled at my twin in between hits with her pillow.

Phew what a workout! I’ve been hitting her for about 5 minutes now and all I got are sore arms. She on the other hand hasn’t even budged.

“Damn Kay you bustin a mad sweat over there,” Frankie, Ry’s boyfriend, laughed while leaning inside the doorframe.

“Man this chick sleeps like a hibernating bear,” laughing.

Frankie laughed a little, “but… a gorgeous hibernating bear.”

I smiled, “well I‘ll leave you to your gorgeous hibernating bear then.”

I walked out the room just as Frankie was kissing Ry’s lips.

I hopped in my bed and cuddled back up with my best friend Mikey. He opened his eyes, looked at me and smiled.

“Good morning beautiful.”

“Good morning sexy guy.”

Mikey looked over at the clock behind me, “damn its 9 o‘clock already I gotta get ready to go.”

“Nooooooo,” I screamed then buried my face in his neck, “I‘m comfy!”

He laughed, “you lucky you’re my bestest friend in the world.”

I smiled, “aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww I love you too!”

I started to drift back asleep as I heard Ryleigh and Frankie outside screaming and laughing loudly.

Suddenly William, my other best friend, came barging through my door. He threw a plastic bag on the floor, kicked his shoes off and lay on the other side of me. He leaned in for our normal group hug.

“Good morning family,” squeezing me in between them.

We broke our embrace and they laid on our backs while I turned and laid on my stomach.

“Can‘t believe summers actually over,” William said throwing his hands up.

“Man tell me about it,” Mikey replied putting his arms behind his head.

“I wonder what this years gonna bring,” asking no one in particular.

“Hopefully some excitement,” William blurted out.

“Really the past two years of high school have been snoresville,” Mikey added.

Suddenly Mikey’s cell phone started playing some random Anthrax song making the three of us jump. Mikey sat up and reached for his phone.

“Hello,” yelling into the phone, “huh… Who is th………. What……….. WHAT! Are you serious………… Okay………… OKAY……….. Bye!”

Mikey hung up the phone and sat there in a daze.

“What’s wrong,” I asked looking over at him.

He mumbled still looking in a daze, “Gerard’s at the front door.”

“Your bullshitting me,” William jumped up.

Suddenly Mikey grabbed my stuff Patrick Star off my bed and threw him across my room.

“Hey!” I screamed as Mikey got up.

“Don‘t throw Patrick Star across the floor… He ain‘t done nothin to you,” William instigated.

“Yall are a bunch of weirdo’s,” Mikey shook his head and walked out the door.

CiCi sat his back against my headboard with his hands behind his head and I crawled up to sit next to him.

“Soooooooo… You know who‘s coming home soon,” William teased, “you excited?”

I shrugged, “I never really thought about it.”

He smiled and snickered.

“WHAT!?” giggling, “I missed him…….. I did!”

“That poor boy don‘t stand a chance,” laughing loudly now.

Folding my arms, “what the hell does that mean?”

“Oh come on Kayleigh!”

“Wh-at William!”

Still laughing loudly, “let‘s be real… no man could ever tame Miss Kayleigh Tarrison!”

“You never know maybe there is that one guy out there for me,” showing William my index finger then tapping his nose with it.

He grabbed my hand from his nose, “but I know who that one person could be…”

Suddenly Gerard burst through the door, “Guess who‘s back!”

I hopped off the bed, ran up and gave him a big hug, “hey Gee, how long ya staying this time?”

“Well I plan on being here for the rest of 12th grade, but we‘ll just see how that goes.”

We all laughed.

“Well I‘m going to smoke a cigarette,” Gerard announced then left the room.

William stood next to me, “well I guess this year ain‘t gonna be snoresville.”

“Tell me about it,” I replied rubbing the back of my neck.

*Mikey*

I walked back in Kayleigh’s room and shut the door. She was rustling through her drawers looking for one of her knock out outfits.

“Mikey I‘m gonna hop a quick shower before I leave,” she told me then stepped inside her bathroom.

I fell back on her bed… Oh man, I was so in love with her. I just don’t know how to tell her. It’s kinda funny… Kayleigh and I tell each other everything, but I’m so afraid to tell her how I feel.

20 minutes later, I heard the shower cut off.

“Mikey you still here?” she yelled to me.

“Sure am,” sitting up.

She stepped out the bathroom in her silk pink bra and matching panties. Man I just wanted to snatch her up.

“This one… or this one?” she asked holding up two of the same shirts, one in pink and one in red.

“Kayleigh why do we go through this every morning?”

“What?” pretending she had no idea what the hell I was talking about.

“Don‘t play stupid,” I fell back out on her bed.

She walked over and stood over top of me, “dammit Mikey… which ONE!”

“Do you know you have actually made me hate the mornings?”

She put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrow, “and what the hell does that mean?”

“Kayleigh don‘t play stupid…”

“Come on Mikey… stop being a dick and tell me… pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!”

“Kayleigh if I waste my breathe I swear… okay I like the pink one… pink really looks good on your skin.” I picked up a magazine on her nightstand and pretended to be reading.

“Pink,” she whined, “you don’t think the red would look better?”

“Kayleigh I really don‘t understand why you ask for my opinion and… YOU NEVER FUCKING TAKE IT!” she looked at me unamused.

CiCi came barging through her door, “guess what the hell just happened?”

We looked over at him, her with an ‘annoyed’ face and me with my ‘help me’ face.

“whoa… did I walk into a war?”

“NO,” she rolled her eyes at me, “CiCi which do you like better… pink or red?”

CiCi stood there rubbing his chin, “mhmm… see if you wear the pink it goes so beautifully on your skin… BUT… with your jet black hair, the red would look so sexy… so sexy.”

“THANK YOU CICI,” she said glaring at me.

“Dammit Kayleigh, I said that…” I sat up on her bed, “why do you ask for my opinion if you ain’t gonna take it?”

“Why do you ask for my opinion if you ain‘t gonna take it?” she mocked me.

“Women…” I said getting out of her bed.

“Men…” folding her arms and devilishly grinning.

“Whatever… coffee run,” with that said I was out the door.

“Wait Mikey I‘m coming with…” I heard CiCi say from inside Kayleigh’s room.

Dammit, I hate it when she gets in one of her moods. Don’t get me wrong, she’s so sexy mad. Honestly, its one of the reasons I love her. Just… not before my Starbucks!

“Dammit Mikey I said… I WAS COMING WITH!” CiCi jogged up and yelled in my ear.

“Its too fucking early CiCi,” I warned.

“Its too fucking early my ass… if I say wait… I mean wait,” he calmly walked next to me.

I rolled my eyes and grumbled. I needed my coffee and fast!

*Ryleigh*

“Okay, we got our new shoes, some cute accessories so we be looking hot and now we need our book bags and the rest we will get at staples,” I told Frankie as we walked around the mall holding hands.

“I already know what book-bag I want,” Frankie said with a big smile.

“What?”

“Follow me,” he said as he took off running practically dragging me behind.

I tried to come to a halt to stop him, but he just kept on going. Damn my height of 4’11 ½! Everyone towers over me like a giant! That’s how it’s so easy to practically drag me like Frankie is now. He’s so hyperactive, I swear! Well, that’s my boyfriend for you. One hyperactive cutie! He swears he will get me to love him, but I doubt it. I mean he’s sweet and all but love… Nah!

After running throughout the whole mall, because Frankie got lost quite a few times, we finally ended up at Spencer’s. We went inside and he showed me the book-bag he wanted. It was a black book-bag with lots of pockets and zippers and on the front is Jack Skellington making a scary face. It was vicious!

“I love it! I want a book-bag as cool as this,” I said.

“And… I saw one that you would just die for,” he said as he got the book-bag, grabbed my hand with his and took me to the other side of the store.

Before we got there, Frankie covered my eyes with his one hand… He told me it was a surprise. We finally stopped and he asked if I was ready. When I said I was he moved his hand while saying aloud, ‘TA-DA!’ and what I saw in front of me… I needed, wanted, and just had to have! It was a pink and black book-bag with Captain Jack Sparrow standing on the front and next to him was the words, ‘I love Jack.’ I was so happy, that is until I saw the price.

“I can‘t get it,” I said sadly as I looked up at Frankie.

“Why not?”

“I don‘t have $50 dollars to waste on a book-bag.”

“Who said anything about you paying?”

“How else am I supposed to get it?”

“Don‘t you remember that you have a wonderful, gorgeous boyfriend,” he said as he put down all his stuff to grab me up in his arms.

“You mean…”

“I‘ll buy it for you,” he said with a big smile.

“No! I don‘t want you to waste your money on me!”

“It‘s not wasting if I‘m spending it on you.”

“But you can spend that money on something so much better!”

“Nothing is better than you! I‘m buying it and that’s final,” he said with a serious face.

“Well… if you insist,” I finally gave up.

“Good, glad we understand each other. Now give me some sugar, you sexy beast you,” he said as he puckered his lips.
“Ha-ha, you‘re so silly,” I said before I went on my tippy toes to give him a kiss.

So Frankie paid for both of our book-bags and then we headed on out of the mall. On the way out there was a little ice cream store near the exit. Frankie wanted some so we went over to get some. He got a chocolate ice cream cone and after doing some hard thinking I got mint chocolate chip. But as soon as we left the mall, I think I made a mistake because I totally want chocolate ice cream now. And guess who has chocolate!

“You want some,” Frankie asked practically reading my mind.

“….. no,” I lied as I licked my own ice cream.

“Liar, I see you eyeing my ice cream like a hawk over there. You can have some if you want,” he said as he held out his ice cream for me.

“I don‘t want none!”

“Liar! Lick it!”

“No!”

“Lick it!”

“No!”

“LICK IT!”

“FINE,” I yelled as I licked the whole side of his ice cream.

“Taste good… didn‘t it,” he said with a victorious grin.

“Yeah, you want some of mine?”

“Thought you would never ask! I would love some,” he said as he ate the whole top of mine.

We walked the rest of the way home holding hands and finishing eating ice cream. We would sing some random songs of bands we love in between licks and laugh at each other’s terrible singing. After our 5th song we finally were home. Frankie was about to come on in my house, but then his mom stopped him.

“FRANKIE! Get in here now and wash all these dishes I told you to wash yesterday,” she yelled as she stood on her porch.

“Ahhhh, ma! Do I have to do it now?!”

“Yes! You can talk to Ryleigh anytime! Now come in here… NOW! Oh and hello Ryleigh! How are you, dear,” she asked me sweetly.

“Hello, Mama Iero! I‘m just fine, how are you?”

“I’m fine, thank you. Hurry up, Frankie,” she said one last time before she went back in the house.
“Man… I gotta go,” Frankie said sadly.

“Don‘t be sad, I‘ll come over in a little while and when you‘re finally done we can go get the rest of our supplies at Staples,” I said with a smile.

“Okay,” he said happily before he gave me a soft kiss.

“FRAAAANNNNKKKKIIEEE… GET YOUR ASS IN HERE NOW,” we heard Mama Iero yell.

“Dammit… I‘M COMING! See you later Ry baby,” Frankie said with one last kiss before he rushed in his house.

After Frankie went in his house, I went right inside mine. I’m hungry and I don’t feel like going all the way upstairs to put my stuff away, so I dumped all my stuff in the living room. I noticed I had a text so I got my cell phone out and read the message as I went into the kitchen. That’s right, I can walk and text at the same time… I got skills! Anyway it was a text from Jacoby saying that he isn’t coming back until really late so he’ll just see me at school tomorrow. I quickly texted him back and went back on my food search. I got out the paper plate and a knife, but I couldn’t find the strawberry jelly, peanut butter, or bread anywhere!

The fuck… I know damn well we didn’t run out! I looked everywhere! The cabinets, refrigerator, the freezer. I mean it’s like they disappeared! Dammit! I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!

“Why can‘t I find the peanut butter, jelly or the damn bread,” I yelled out loud in anger as I slammed my hand down.

“They’re over here,” I heard an unfamiliar male voice behind me.

“AHHHHHHHHH,” I yelled as I quickly spun around with the knife in my hand ready to attack the stranger.

“Whoa! Calm down, it‘s just me,” he said with his hands up.

“Me who?! Who the fuck are you?! How did you get in…? Where‘s Kayleigh?”

“You forgot about me already? Damn, Ry… I‘m hurt,” he said as he bit into his peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Now that I looked at him… he does look familiar. The pale skin… black messy hair… pretty hazel eyes… It can’t be…

“Hey Gerard, Ryleigh… WHOA! What’s with the knife Ry?! Sick of Gee already,” CiCi said as he came out of nowhere.

“Gerard?”

“Yeah, remember now,” he said with a crooked smile.

“I‘ll take that,” CiCi said as he took the knife and put it back in the drawer.

“When did you come back,” I asked Gerard, totally forgetting about CiCi.

“I‘m back for senior year,” he said with another bite of his sandwich.

Wow, now that I really look at him… he has gotten so hot! I mean he is just flat out gorgeous… I don’t remember him being this hot! I have to start paying attention more often.

“Uh-oh, Ry can‘t keep her eyes off you Gerard! I think she thinks you‘re SMOKING hot,” CiCi laughed.

“CiCi,” I yelled.

Must he embarrass me always?!

“Ha-ha, don‘t worry angel. I think you‘re pretty smoking hot yourself,” Gerard said with that cute smile of his.

I don’t know why, but my heart started racing when he said that. Since when does my heart race like this? Uh-oh…. My face is burning hot… am I really blushing?! Over Gerard?! Suddenly there was a knock at the door and I quickly went to answer it, so I can get away from this awkward moment. So I went to go open the door only to see a chest. When I looked up to see just who this person was it was none other then Pete Wentz smiling down at me.

“PETEY,” I yelled as I jumped up and wrapped my arms around his neck.

“Hey, Ry! It‘s been ages! Did you miss me,” he asked with a big smile as he lifted me off
my feet to walk in the house and he spun me around before he held me tightly to him.

“Of course, I missed you! Did you miss me,” I asked him.

“Of course! I will never find another girl as hot as you after all,” he said as he blew me a kiss.

“Ha-ha, you‘re so weird!”

Pete has gotten hot over the past year too. I haven’t seen him for over a year since he left for boarding school. His gorgeous straight black hair goes into his tan face. His light brown eyes hold a mischievous gleam in them. And his smile could probably guarantee him any girl he could ever want. I am very proud of my super hot best friend!

“Hey! How come Pete gets a welcome back hug from Ryleigh and I don‘t,” Gerard said as he walked in.

“Because she loves me more,” Pete said before sticking his tongue out at Gee.

“Awww, that’s not fair!”

“Look on the bright side, you still have me,” CiCi said.

“Looks like I got the better partner,” Pete said with a big smile.

“Hey! What is that suppose to mean,” CiCi said sounding defended.

We all laughed at CiCi, even he had to laugh. I love these fun moments. Where there is no drama and just plain fun. I hope the rest of the school year will be like this. Just full of fun moments like this.

“Oh! I brought a friend from boarding school with me. Everyone, this is Patrick Stumph,” Pete said excitedly as he moved aside to see a shy short guy with strawberry blonde hair showing underneath his red and white trucker hat.
New guy in town, huh? I wonder what this will bring……….

*Patrick*

I stood there stiff as a board staring at blank faces across from me. I was completely nervous and with everyone staring at me it didn‘t help.

They all smiled and said hi in unison. I just stood there frozen in that spot. I hated meeting new people. I was way to shy to even attempt to start a conversation.

“Hey everyone,” I managed to get out my mouth while I stood there burning a hole in the floor with my eyes.

“What‘s wrong with him is he slow?” the girl diagonal from me whispered to Pete, but I still heard.

He giggled, “no girl… he‘s just really shy. I promise once he gets comfortable around you you won‘t be able to shut him up.”

They both laughed, but I didn’t find shit funny.

“Okay my man this here… the one looking like he just escaped an insane asylum is Gerard Way… short stuff over here is Ryleigh Tarrison… and this tall cup of water over here is William Beckett, but we all call him CiCi.”

“Nice to meet you all,” I nervously grinned.

“So which one of my wonderful friends is gonna show him around while daddy Pete goes on his first date back in town.” he looked around with his devilish grin and everyone looked at him with a straight face.

“Pete please… I have more important things to do than baby-sit.” the skinny black haired chick, Ryleigh announced.

“Yeah me too… I have to… uh… go watch my llama grow, yeah that’s it,” the black haired guy said looking at his watch.

“Well… what about you, CiCi?” Pete asked the extremely tall boy while crossing his arms.

“Pete… please… I got a date with Kayleigh… you know how she hates babysitting!”

“Come on yall… I ain‘t been home in a year and this is how yall treat me?” he threw out his puppy dog eyes, but no one really cared.

“WELP… gotta go,” the Ryleigh chick said before jetting to the door, “nice seeing you again… Pete.”

He blushed as she opened the front door.

“Bye Ryleigh,” Gerard guy yelled to her as she was walking out. She stopped in her tracks and waved to him, he waved back. They like each other… its just that obvious!

“You and Kayleigh need a ride to the mall?” Gerard asked.

The CiCi boy shrugged, “sure if your not to busy with your llama.”

They both burst out into hysterics while Pete just stood there glaring at them.

“Uh Pete I don‘t mind chilling in the house today… it‘ll give me a chance to get my things organized,” I let out a fake smile.

He looked over at me and rolled his eyes, “dammit guys… I‘m serious. I can‘t leave him in the house all day… you know how Ma is.”

“Look all I can tell you is wait for Kayleigh… since you’re so bold to keep pressing the damn issue,” CiCi told him.

“Do I hear Peter in my living room?” some mysterious voice came from the staircase.

“Is that the fabulous Kayleigh Tarrison?” he asked and I looked to fulfill my curiosity.

Suddenly the most amazing chick I’ve ever seen appeared before my eyes. She glided down those steps so gracefully and right up to Pete. They embraced each other and kissed cheeks.

“What are you doing in this neck of the woods?” she asked putting her hands on her hips.

“Well lets just say I didn‘t meet their criteria,” they both giggled.

“What a school year this is gonna be… first Gerard comes outta nowhere… then you… bad boys coming outta the woodwork round here,” they laughed even louder.

Even her laugh was just so cute. I was in love, but I was so nervous I could hear my knees clanking together.

“Well guys CiCi and I gotta jet,” she looked at Pete and kissed his cheek while the CiCi boy snatched up his keys.

Pete put both his hands up to stop her from walking any farther, “Kayleigh wait…”

“What is it Pete… Mikey‘s only at the doctors for about 2 hours and we‘ve already wasted a half… so can we go now… please.”

“Well I wanted you to meet my best friend, Patrick,” he stepped out the way and our eyes met for the first time.

“Hey,” I mumbled holding my hand out for her to shake.

“Hi,” she replied putting a strand of her hair behind her ear and grabbing my hand. We stood there in a trance holding hands and smiling at each other.

“Lunchbox this is Kayleigh… Kayleigh… Lunchbox,” I heard Pete say in the background. The only thing I could do was stare back at her biting her bottom lip.

“Uh… you two can let go now,” Pete began sounding a little uneasy.

We let go simultaneously, but continued to stare at each other.

“Kayles… can you do me the biggest favor in your whole entire life?” Pete threw his arm around her shoulders breaking our trance.

She grinned, “you ain‘t been back for two damn minutes and you already asking me for damn favors.”

He whined, “come on Kayles… I‘d do it for you…”

She looked over at him, “what Pete… what the hell do you need?”

He smiled his award winning smile, “well see I got this little uh date and uh I kinda need you to uh show him around… you know keep him entertained”

She looked over at me a little annoyed and I froze stiff, “Pete I don‘t have time to be babysitting your little friends.”

“Come on Kayleigh… you remember that time I had to save your ass when we had that wild ass party and someone broke your moms priceless lamp her first love made for her… do you remember?”

She crossed her arms and looked at him out the corner of her eye, “mhmmm!”

“Don’t forget the way I had to break in poor old man Willis’ house and steal 5,000 dollars of his retirement money… money that let me remind you… he worked his hands to the bone for,” Pete reminded.

“Like you even care… dammit Pete you were probably gonna take it anyway,” she raised her eyebrow.

“Yeah, but I didn‘t…” she rolled her eyes, “I did it for you… I love you… plus because of it he ended up having a heart attack and living in a old folks home and now I have nightmares and… and…”

“Dammit Pete… fine!”

“Thank you… I love you… GOODBYE!” with saying that he immediately disappeared out the door.

“You would fall for that,” Gerard said shaking his head and she rolled her eyes.

We stepped into the extremely busy mall and I kept my short distance behind them. I glanced up at her and she was having what appeared to be a hilarious conversation with that CiCi boy, or so it seemed to be. They were just walking arm in arm and laughing away.

I can’t believe I let Pete get me kicked outta Richmond Boarding School. I mean I knew those kids since kindergarten. Now I’m here with what appears to be the world’s most stuck up and snotty bunch of teenagers I’ve ever encountered. I’ve been here for about 3 hours now and already the few friends he’s introduced me to seemed to hate me. Except her… from time to time she’ll look at me and smile or make sure I was okay and didn’t need anything. I never believed in love at first sight until today.

“Hey Patrick… are you okay? You need anything?” looking back at me.

I shook my head no and she smiled at me.

“Alright Kayles, so I‘ll meet you back in about 45,” CiCi told her while looking down at his watch.

“Duh!”

Mocking her, “duh!”

They both giggled and she made a cute funny face with her eyes crossed.

“So meet me at the mini river in 45,” they kissed each others cheek and he disappeared into the crowd.

She walked up to me and smiled, “you ready?”

I nodded and we walked in silence for awhile.

“So is he like your boyfriend,” I unexpectedly asked surprising myself.

She began laughing, “who CiCi?”

I nodded.

“Yeah right,” in between laughs.

We walked in silence for awhile.

“Well I promise we‘ll only be a minute, I just gotta pick up something for my best friend,” she interlocked our arms surprising me.

I held my breathe and nervously asked, trying to make small talk, “So how long you known Pete?”

“Whoa… since the summer before 3rd grade,” she giggled.

“Really,” I was shocked; I knew they knew each other for awhile, but not that long.

“You seem surprised,” glancing over at me.

“Well its just I‘ve known Pete all my life and he never mentioned he had a friend as beautiful as you,” I quickly looked over at her.

“Awwww… well Pete didn‘t tell me he had such a sweetheart for a friend either.”

I blushed and tried to change the subject, “so you said you had to get something for your best friend?”

“Yeah… his birthday is coming pretty fast,” snatching off my red and white trucker cap and placing it on her head sideways. I couldn’t help, but smile.

“Ah, it looks better on you anyway,” we giggled.

We stepped on the escalator, her in front. She turned to face me, “sooooo Patrick, you staying here long?”

I shrugged, “well Pete did get me expelled and my parents kinda kicked me to the curb. So… it’s pretty safe to say I‘ll graduate high school with you.”

She smiled, “I‘m not surprised, Petey can be well… um… persuasive.”

We continued to walk in silence for awhile until she blurted, “I’m sorry but I just gotta tell you that I absolutely love your hair!”

I shyly smiled at her, truth is… I’m absolutely in love with her. She began running her hand through my hair. With every stroke I felt my knees buckling under me. This is one of those times I wish I wasn’t so shy.

“Oh my gosh your hair is so soft.”

I couldn’t help but smile and look away; I didn’t want her to see me blush.

“So why‘d Pete call you Lunchbox?”

I shrugged, “I don‘t really know… he‘s been calling me that since diapers.”

She smiled, “well I for one like Patrick better.”

“Well… I don‘t mind you calling me Patrick.”

“I didn‘t say I was gonna call you Patrick now did I,” she replied a little stern, “you’re my Star.”

“Huh,” looking a little dumbfounded.

“Well my favorite cartoon character is Patrick Star, sooooo… now you’re my Star… Star,” we both giggled.

“Wait… you mean Patrick Star from Spongebob?”

She nodded and we walked in yet another awkward silence. We hit this store called Hot Topic and she immediately ran over to the T-Shirts and grabbed this black Anthrax one. She stepped up to the mirror and draped the shirt over her chest.

She put her hands on her hips, “so what cha think?”

“Looks great,” I admired.

Suddenly the shirt slipped off and hit the floor. We both went down to pick it up and next thing I know we were nose to nose with each other. I know I must have looked like a bright red tomato.

“Staaaaar, are you blushing?” biting her bottom lip.

“Well with a gorgeous girl like you in my face I can‘t help it,” surprising myself again.

She looked to the ground and smiled, “I thought you were shy?”

“I am, but with you I feel like a whole new person… like I can do anything,” I said leaning in to steal a quick kiss and just as our lips were about to touch…

“Kayleigh!” some random girl screamed putting us outta our trance.

“Brighdie, hey girl,” quickly standing up.

The girl came towards us.

“Sooo, who‘s this?” pointing at me.

“Hi I‘m…”

“Kayleigh…” rudely cutting me off.

Kayleigh looked at me and smiled uneasily, “uh… well this is… Patrick.”

I extended my hand; she looked at it and looked back at Kayleigh.

“Okay… so… why are you hanging with this nerd?”

The nerve of that bitch!

Kayleigh cleared her throat, “uh… well Pete wanted me to show him around.”

She began looking around and screamed, “did you just say PETE? Is he here?”

Kayleigh smiled and shook her head no.

“Wait… why does Pete want you to show him around?”

“Because… this is his best friend… Patrick,” throwing her arm around my shoulder.

At that second she pretty much pounced on me, “hey Paaatrick… I‘m Brighdie.”

I smiled and she gave me a big squeeze. I looked over at Kayleigh and she was trying to keep her laughter contained by covering her mouth.

“WOW Paaatrick you smell wonderful,” she buried her face in my neck.

“Well uh, B we gotta jet,” Kayleigh announced slapping her hands together.

The girl kissed my cheek, “I hope to see you real soon.”

She licked her lips and blew me a kiss. Kayleigh rolled her eyes, “girl you too much.”

She winked at Kayleigh and left the store. Kayleigh giggled and bent over in front of me to grab the T-shirt that was still on the floor.

“Wow she‘s a piece of work,” I said admiring her.

“Tell me about it,” grabbing my arm and pulling me toward the register.

We made the purchase and walked arm in arm to the Starbucks shop.

“Can I carry that bag for you?” I asked her.

She looked over at me, smiled and playfully bumped her shoulder against mine, “what a gentleman.”

I blushed and stared at the ground.

“Wait right here I just gotta run and grab a gift card.”

She ran inside and stood on her toes to be higher on the counter. Man, that girl is sexy, her light brown skin, her short thick legs hugged by those skinny jeans. Her tummy was flat and she had on this skin tight black long sleeve hoodie shirt. She was really curvy, her hair was mid back length, extremely straight and jet black. She was a lot shorter than me which is hard to come by since I’m only 5’4 closer to 5’5, so I’d say she’s about 4’11.

“You ready Star,” standing next to me breaking my chain of thought.

She looked down at her watch, “FUCK… come on we gotta jet.”

She grabbed my hand and we flew to the middle of the mall. We stopped at this river trail. She looked around and shrugged her shoulders. She sat on this cushioned very comfortable looking black leather couch. She patted the seat next to her.

“Take a load off your feet,” telling me as I sat down. We sat in silence for a moment then she started playing with my hair again.

“What‘s so fascinating about my hair?” squinting my eyes because hair was bouncing in and out of them. She shrugged, scooted real close to me and continued to play in my hair.

“Look Kayleigh I…” I started but was interrupted by someone clearing their throat very loudly.

“CiCi,” she said jumping up, “you ready?”

He raised his eyebrow and slowly nodded, she gave him a half smile. He turned to leave and we followed him out.

Once we got back around the neighborhood it was dark and a little chilly. Kayleigh and CiCi gave each other a kiss on the cheek and he left to his house.

“Yall are close huh?” I asked while walking her next door to her house.

“Since diapers,” she replied interlocking our arms.

“I had fun today,” looking over at me and biting her bottom lip.

I smiled, “me too!”

“Well this is me,” she said nodding at her house.

We broke our embrace and she stood to face me, “so you walking me to school in the morning?”

“Sure,” getting overly excited.

“Well until tomorrow morning,” she leaned in, gently kissed my cheek, and then backed away slowly. She walked up the hill to her front door.

“Until tomorrow morning then,” I yelled to her before she disappeared inside her house.

I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face. I was truly in love with this girl and I would stop at nothing to make her mine!
