Chapter Two
Yeah, it wasnt much of a conversation starter - but after I introduced myself; it was a lot easier to talk to Gerard.
We talked about bands - his favorite is Iron Maidon.
We talked about family - he has a little brother that he adores like a god, Mikey.
We talked about movies - horror movies like Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, the Excorxist, etc.
We talked about comics - both agreeing that Hell Boy and Wolverine were the best mother fuckers out there and that Peter Parker is just a whiny bitch-boy.
And we even went over just basic random questions.
"Whats your favorite color?" Gerard asked.
"Muave." I answered quickly.
"Black - thought it is technically a shade, I still think that it deserves to be in the rank of colors."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Needles." Gerard shivered.
I found myself laughing at that since I have two piercings and two tattoos.
After a few more stupid questions like ice cream flavors [vanilla], hobbies [drawing for him, guitar for me], stuff like that - the bell finally rung.
I shot up from the table, next class was Physical Education. I hated P.E. with a deep passion.
Quickly I set off for the locker rooms - I always wanted to get there first - before the jocks. They always were huge jerks during P.E. since I wasnt energetic or anything.
Gerard followed close behind, he shared the hatred for physical activity as well, but I doubt anyone would bully him - he was tall and, probably, really strong. Unlike little ole me.
I put in my locker combination.
Wrong. Dangit. I tried again.
Wrong. Dangit! I tried, again!
Right! Hallelujah!
I quickly grabbed the gym uniform form the locker and stripped down from my shoe clothes - I wasnt body concious in any other way than my shortness. I pulled the shorts on and took the t-shirt into the shower section. Dont think I forgot Gerard was there... I didnt mind changing my pants in front of him - I was wearing boxers after all - but shirt was a different thing.
I unbuttoned the white shirt, looking down at my scarred chest. I trailed my finger over every scar - just bad memories. Some were purple, some brown, but most were bright red though. I pulled the shirt off my arms and traced the scars from my shoulder to my wrist. Sighing deeply.
'Im so fucked up.' I thought to myself.
"Huh?" Gerard voice rang around the shower room. He waited until I was in the shower room before changing, he told me how body concious he was.
"I didnt say anything..." I said briefly before taking one last look over my smooth, yet imperfect, chest and pulled the bright yellow shirt on.
I walked out into the main shower room, Gerard was sitting on the bench in his uniform glaring down at his hands.
I put my white shirt in my locker, "You okay Gerard?" I asked, closing the locker.
He looked up from his hands, "Yup, just looking at my ugly fat self." he shrugged.
I wanted so badly to tell him to shut up and tell him he's beautiful - but I knew he'd freak the fudge out, he's striaght. Okay, well, I dont
know he's straight... but I cant imagine such a perfect creature being attracted to
men.
So I just sighed, "You really gotta stop putting yourself down, Gee."
"What did you just say?" he asked.
What
did I just say!?
"Uh... I d-."
"Hey ladies!" I heard Kyle yell, entering the locker room.
I grunted heavily. Kyle was one of the guys that made my life a living hell.
"Well hello Little Emo Iero, I see your scars are healing along well.
Okay, you know how I said that nobody knows im depressed - I meant like... friends... Of course the guys in my P.E. class knew since I had to wear short sleeve shirts.
Gerard looked at me curiously - probably wondering what Kyle was on about.
I simply shook my head and grabbed a jacket from the bench. I dont know whos it is, but it didnt really matter right now.
The other jocks started spilling into the locker room. They all began undressing into the uniform - it made me uneasy so I just walked out to the track field - Gerard close behind.
The P.E. teacher, Mr. Darickson, was sitting on the bleechers - waiting for all of us to get out there. I sat on the bleechers, ignoring Gerards confused expression.
Finally, after all the guys were finished and on the bleechers, Mr. Darickson stood up and faced us.
"Today we are gonna be running seven miles." he announced.
Seven miles!? I may be skinny, I may be toned, but I am definately not fit enought for seven miles!
We all stood up and made our way to the field.
Dare I need to explain the pain and torture that was behind seven miles? I dont think so. But I'll tell you one thing. Gerard and myself were throwing up on the side of the track. But then again, so were some of the less fit jocks.
We all made our way to the showers, breathing heavily and feeling slightly dizzy from dehydration. I sat on the bench, feeling ready to die.
Mr. Darickson entered the locker room, "Tomorrow the school is going to the beach. You can dress casually for the day. Dont forget your trunks." he said before leaving the locker room for the gym.
"I h-hate the beach." Gerard mumbled.
I didnt comment. I was too traumatized. The school doesnt allow the students to go into the water with t-shirts on. I was going to be shirtless for the whole school to see my scars. Well
this blows.
I changed my pants and removed the ownerless jacket, not even bothering to put on the white shirt and just put on my blazer.
Basically, I just went to the rest of my classes. I was there, but I wasnt really there. The whole time I had my mind wrapped around the idea of everyone to see my huge scars. This made me regret making these scars all together. But while I was making them, the thought of scars never even occured to me, I was just focusing on getting rid of my emotional pain and getting some kinda of leverage and control of my life. Now wasnt the time for this thought. I just figured, 'hey, its not like you have any friends anyways.'
