I'm Not Okay(I promise)

Chapter 9: Weird way to become friends

"Brian.. That's the mean kid's name.. What a stupid name!" I rage in my head.
"Hey you okay?" A boy with light brown fluffy curly hair ask me, looking at me with concern.
I break out of my trance, " Umm yeah! I'm fine" I explain and smile at the boy.
All my hatred for that asshole Brian had me zoned out. Gerard isn't wrong, Brian is a total asshole.
"Oh my god! You guys are covered in blood! Gerard, why do you keep getting in fights? C-come on let's take you guys to get cleaned up" A boy with short light brown hair and glasses tells us and scolds Gerard. He helps us up.
Me and the boy with the lip ring help Gerard walk down the hallway.
"I um- I'm Frank.. You're Charlie right?" The boy with the lip ring asks as he points at me with his free hand.
"Mhm! Nice to meet you! I know its not the right time to introduce ourselves but umm h-here we are" I jokily say and chuckles.
The boys chuckle even Gerard smiles and leaves a faint laugh.
"I'm Ray! And this is Mikey" The curly hair boy says pointing at the boy with glasses on.
"Hey and I'm.. Well you already know" I smile and sigh.
We leave out faint laughs again.
"Um C-charlie? Can I ask why you moved to Los Angeles from Colorado?" Gerard asks shyly
"Oh um.. My dad died about 6 months ago so me and my mom decided to move to a different state to start over I guess" I explain to the boys as they nod and tell me that they are sorry for my loss.
The boys talk to each other, leaving me out of the conversation since they talk about stuff I don't know. We finally approach the front office. Gerard's friends make sure we are seen by the nurse before they leave to class. Me and Gerard got checked up and cleaned after that we walked together to our classes.
"H-hey C-charlie?"
"Mmm?"
"W-why did you help me from brian?.. Why didn't you walk by like all the other kids?" He questions, as he tilts his head to side as he looks at me.
We continue walking.
"I felt bad for you.. You didn't deserve that.."
"How do you know?"
"I can just tell, Gerard"
"No one should be treated like that" I assure Gerard.
Gerard smiles at me and his cheeks go pink just like his nose.
He puts a hand on his cheek and his eyes widened as he gasps slightly
"Oh uh-i um i-i.. I um..gotta go now.. S-see you later C-charlie" Gerard says, rushed. He slightly runs away, down the hallway.
I stand there, confused. I giggle softly and not thinking much of it. I slowly walk to first period with a blue excuse paper slip in my hand.
