I listened to the bell ring and gathered my books from the top of my desk.
I walked out into the hallway, out to my locker. I grabbed my jacket and headed outside. It was sorta chilly, but normal temperature for spring in New Jersey. I always enjoyed walking to pick my brother up from school. I liked the independence I felt from it. The only issue, was who I often had to walk with. My brother's friend's brother. I know, a little bit of a mind fuck. He was really quiet in class and normally stayed out of all attention. Even though I never talk to him, I had to admit, I found him quite attractive. He was often the inspiration for a lot of my art pieces. I knew him for his brother, Mikey. My brother talked about him a lot. His name was Gerard.
I watched my red converse high tops kick up rocks as I treaded down the sidewalk to my brother's school. He was in 7th grade and I was in 10th, but he always seemed so much younger than me. I could tell Gerard had the same problem. Him and Mikey seemed really close though, the opposite applying to my brother. I looked up in front of me and cought the end of Gerard's gaze. He took his eyes off me and looked back at the ground. I unfortunately, didn't get to see his eyes for very long. I looked back at the ground and bit my lip, walking in front of him.
Soon, I made it to the school. My brother was playing basketball with Mikey.
"Hey! John! Let's go!" I yelled.
"I called mom and she's letting me stay until 5" he yelled back.
"Well im leaving then!" I yelled back.
"You have to stay. Mom said so" he replied. I grunted and walked over to the school's playground to sat on a swing. Apparently, Mikey's mom had done the same thing. Gerard sat in the swing beside me. I ignored it at first until I noticed that he was looking at my sketches.
"Why are you looking at my drawings?" I closed the book and turned to face him. His eyes were stunning, beautiful hazel.
"I am? I'm sorry," he blushed. "Your really good" he smiled.
"Thank you" I bit my tongue to stop myself from saying something stupid. He looked up at Mikey and John.
"Are you and your brother close?" He asked.
"Nah...I don't spend a lot of Time with him anyway so it doesn't matter" I replied.
"You and Mikey?" I asked.
"Yeah, he actually has friends though" Gerard laughed. I smiled. His laugh was so cute, it made me happy.
"What do you mean you don't have friends?" I asked.
"I don't really like opening up to people, you know what I mean?" He replied.
"Yeah. Yeah I know exactly what you mean" I nodded.
"C'mon, your popular" he punched my arm lightly.
"Hell no." I laughed.
"Yeah! Your friends with whatsherface," he smiled.
"Maddie? Nah, she only hangs out with me because her mom likes me so she can use me to get out of the house" I explained.
"Oh..." he said distantly. "Do you like her? Like, as a person?" He asked.
"I mean, yeah. She's sweet sometimes. But like you said earlier, I don't really like to open up to people" I told him.
"Your opening up to me right now" he smirked.
"Oh yeah" I giggled. He tapped my shoulder.
"We should hang out more" Gerard smiled.
"I think we should." I smiled back.We watched Mikey and John play for a little while before Gerard pulled out his phone and ear buds. Just when I thought I would be shut out, he grabbed my hand.
"Let's go sit on the grass" Gerard smiled to me warmly. I nodded and followed him. We sat down by the fence and he handed me an ear bud. I put it in and let the music fill my ear.
"Do you like it?" He smiled.
"This is so cool" I replied, leaning in to look at his phone.
"Yeah, it's sick. I have the record for it at home actually....You must think I'm a loser for still listening to records" he scratched the back of his head.
"No! I love records" I replied.
"Actually?" He looked surprised.
"Yeah. Nothing to be ashamed of man, we're just more authentic" I smiled.
"You a music guru too?" He laughed.
"Pretty much" I laughed with him.We spent the next hour listening to things in Gerard's phone. Turns out, we had the same taste.
"Hey! We're leaving!" My brother yelled to me.
"Sorry, Gee" I frowned. He got up and dusted off his pants.
"No problem. See you after school tomorrow?" He asked.
"Of course." I replied. He nodded and put his hands in his pockets.
"One more thing-" I muttered. He turned around to face me. I kissed his cheek lightly. His eyes went wide and I felt his cheeks redden under my lips.
"Goodbye, gee" I smiled and skipped away, tripping on my feet. I saw Gerard giggle and turn around happily. I giggled and started off ahead of my brother.A/n
