I woke up in what I'm guessing is the school's infirmary. Well I feel ing shit.
I try to sit up before laying back down due to the piercing pain in my side. Fuck that.
I scan the room before my eyes come to rest on Gerard's sleeping form. Well they kicked the shit out of him as well. How giving. The nurse walks out of her little office and smiles obnoxiously at me. She struts over to my bedside.
" Hello Frank! How do you feel?" She chirped in a peppy voice that made me want to projectile vomit every where.
Bleg.
" Let's see, My face hurts, my back hurts, my arms hurt, my legs hurt, and I'm pretty sure my nose and ribs are fucked up. How do you think I'm doing?" I growled at her. She looked surprised.
" Frank! Language! Anyway, I think you should be able to leave tomorrow, I need to check for any more injuries I may have missed." She spoke less cheerfully before walking over and studying sleeping Gerard. I huff, turning onto my side. Trying to fall back asleep even with the burning pain in my ribs. I listen to the Nurse interrogating Gerard about what had happened.
" And they just, jumped out?"
" Yeah, from behind the-" he cuts himself off with a cough. The Nurse mentions something about getting rest and her shoes click as she goes into her office.
Gerard sighs, turning his head to look at me. I close my eyes quickly, silently praying that he didn't see me up.
" Frank?" He croaks, I pretend to wake, stretching, then whimpering at the pain shooting through my body because of that 'stretch'.
" S' matter." I groan, turning over to look at him. He blinks, well half way. One eye is swollen too much.
" You alright?" I roll my eyes.
" I think you're the one we need to worry about. The fuck did those assholes do to you?" I grumbled, forcing myself into a sitting position.
" They threw me against the lockers after you passed out, and they uh, they broke my jaw and the blond one kicked me in the eye..." Gerard sighs, sitting up with a intense grimace.
" Fuck, Gerard! I'm sorry! Why didn't you run?" I gasped as he frowned at me.
" I didn't want a murdered roommate. I don't have time to be a witness." He grumbled, laying back down and crossing his arms over his chest.
" How thoughtful." I mutter under my breath and force myself to fall asleep.
••
My little nap is short lived. The Nurse wakes me, talking of the guidance councilor wanting to speak to Gerard and me.
Fucking hate guidance councilors are the spawn of satan. I hate them. They think they know about your life and tell you what to do and they always act happy and tell you to talk about your feelings. No go away.
" Hello. I'm Mr. Anderson. I'm this fine academy's guidance councilor, and I wanted to ask you young men about your encounter with the other young men in your year." The scruffy man said, pulling a chair to the center of the room and sitting there.
" Now, tell me what happened." Gerard and I exchange glances. I drop my gaze to my bed sheets.
" Don't be so shy. You shou-"
" Alright! Alright. I you want to know I'll tell you what they did. They beat the living hell out of us for being 'faggots' and ' emos'. They slammed us against things and made us bleed. Happy, Princess?" I spat at him. Anything to keep him from giving me live-lessons.
Fuck that.
Mr. Anderson was clearly unhappy with my answer, and language. He puckered out his lips and sent us judgmental glances before his little pen scribbled on his little notepad.
"Language, Mr. Iero. And these boys were only welcoming you. A little joke never hurt anyone." The oblivious man said with a grin. I rolled my eye.
" Seen Gerard's eye lately? What about my cracked ribs, wanna tell them they can't break 'cause it was a joke. Go ahead." I lifted my arms away from my ribs. The councilor looked very unhappy with my response. Gerard's face was brightened with a clear smirk on his thin lips.
" Well I-"
" Good talk." And with that statement I turn on my side and pull the blankets on my shoulders, closing my eyes.
" Well I-"
" Fuck off." I mumble. The councilor's feet slapped the tile in the Nurse's Office as he takes his leave. Gerard's bed creaked as he must have turned on his side.
Bleg. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. Of course it will, because this school is one step bellow Hell, and one step up from Purgatory. Well, actually, Purgatory is a place where monsters go to die so I's say this is Purgatory.
•••
I don't even remember falling asleep, but I do know that the Nurse is shaking me awake.
" Up and at em' boy. You can go today. Gerard as well." I squint at the Nurse. Why the fuck am I awake. Go away it's like 6am. Hell no. I grumble and roll over, yanking the thin white sheets over my freezing body. She sighs and her shoes click on the floor all the way over to Gerard's bed.
" Get up, Gerard. You boys can go today." She gets the same reaction from him as she did me, making me smirk. She mutters under her breath and walks into her office.
I'm not very comfortable. Lemme just lay on
My left side. No? Back. No? Stomach. No? Oh okay. It's gonna be one of those early wake ups. Fine.
I huff and sit up. Rubbing my tired eyes I groan.
" Gerard? Get the fuck up I'm leaving and I don't have time to wait for your ass." Gerard grumbles, throwing the sheets off himself.
" God damn , Iero. Calm down I'm up." He croaks tiredly as he stands up. I roll my eyes and start walking into the hallway.
We walk in silence until I ask him a question.
" Hey, do we have classes today?" Gerard nods and checks a nearby clock.
" We start in like half an hour." I groan in response. He chuckles and shakes his head.
" Yeah. Now shut up, I'm taking a nap. You can't fall asleep though, you have to wake me up." He says as we get to our room. I gap at him. Oh hell no.
" Fuck that! You can wake me up." I exclaim, climbing up into bed. He shakes his head at me.
" Fuck no, Iero. You're staying up, I'm catching up on some sleep."
" No."
" Yes!"
"No!"
" Yeah."
" nope."
"Yes."
" Nope.
" Ye-"
"Nope."
" Yes."
"No-"
" For fuck's sake. Fine princess, you get to fucking nap." I grin at him and tuck myself under the covers.
" Night, Mother fucker." He grumbles as I shut my eyes. You know, I sleep alot.
•••
Instead of a kind, gentle shake of my shoulders, Gerard whips my pillow from under my head. Causing my face to slam into the mattress and bounce around. I groan, clutching my head.
" Dick!" I shouted.
" Yes, I've got one. Now get your ass up, classes." I groan again, clambering down the ladder to my bed. Quickly going over my schedule...
Science~Mr. Riggs, Room 306
Social Studies~Miss. Adler, Room 214
Math~ Mrs. Jo, Room 120
History~ Mr. Haller, Room 407
Music~ Ms. Minx, Room 136
Homosexual Adjustment~ Mrs. Valic,Room 213
Art~ Ms. Hudson, Room 221
I sigh and start walking to the third floor. Damn, my classes are on every fucking floor. It's so earrrllyyyy....
Climbing the massive steps is a chore, getting shoved by mindless assholes is no help ether. Finally, the third floor comes into view. My foot hits the top step, and the late bell rings. My head drops. Fuck. Time to run I guess.
I take off down the hall. 301....303...oh there....304....306! I run full speed at the door. Which I slam into. Because it's locked. Fucking really.
I groan, rubbing my shoulder and knocking on the wooden door with my elbow. A broody looking man opens the door.
" Hello I'm Fr-"
" I know who you are Mr. Iero, I also know you are late. Take you seat." He points at a chair in the second row next to a girl with light brown hair. I sit down and she wrinkles her nose, shifting her chair slightly.
Well this class should be interesting.
