I Promise I'll Look After You

Something In Common

{Frank's POV}

I'm glad I moved schools.

My last one was pretty shit.

Not sure if this one's any better though.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I suppose that it's okay so far.

Taylor goes here so that's cool.

I didn't really know her that well but sometimes we'd skive PE or something together and have a chat.

She was actually the first person I told I was bisexual.

I don't know why I told her. I mean, I didn't know her very well.

I just did.

I guess I wanted to see what people's reactions would be like and it just came out.

Sure, she could be a handful sometimes but she was a friend and she was the only person I knew at this school so I stuck by her during my first week.

Taylor's friends were alright.

She had quite a few but only two were her close friends.

One was Maisie.

Maisie was sweet and cute.

Not my type but really kind and obviously cared a lot about her friends.

Especially Gerard.

Now, Gerard.

He was certainly something else.

Maisie was right, he was cute.

Very cute actually.

And definitely adorable.

He was pretty shy though.

Maybe it was just because I was new and we didn't know each other.

He was fine with everyone else.

Yeah, it was just because I was new.

I didn't take it too personally.

He was pretty quiet when I first met him.

It was actually a bit awkward because I could tell that Taylor wanted us to get talking by ourselves but I didn't know what to say.

He didn't either from what I could tell.

Although, we were saved by Maisie.

"So..." Taylor grinned after I had shaken Gerard's hand, "We'll leave you guys alone..."

I glanced at Gerard.

He was frowning.

No doubt he was confused.

I would be too if I was in his shoes.
Poor guy.

"Um no," Maisie's sudden words surprised me, "I'm fine here. I haven't seen Gee for three days. I'm going to talk to him."

Wow.

The small girl had more to her than I had first thought.

Gerard looked down, half smiling.

I could tell the attention made him a little uncomfortable but he didn't mind.

Out if the corner of my eye I could tell that Taylor was making air signs to Maisie but Maisie was having none of it.

I didn't pay attention to them though.

I was still gawking at Gerard.

His raven black hair was styled so it almost covered his right eye.
