I met Gerard outside the school on that Thursday morning. I was feeling a lot better now, my cold was completely gone.
“Morning,” I greeted.
Gee smiled, his hand reaching for mine. I instinctively flinched away, cursing myself from the hurt look on Gee’s face.
“I'm sorry,” I muttered, reaching over for his hand nervously.
“You don't have to be scared, I'm right here with you,” Gee reassured.
I nodded, swallowing thickly as we went inside the school. I looked around at everyone who hadn't seemed to notice us. My free hand ran through my hair as I took a deep breath. I walked down the hall, hand in hand with Gee.
“Hey, what the f**k?” Brendon asked, laughing as he stepped in front of us with Bob.
Gee held my hand a little tighter out of fear while I scowled at them.
“f**k off,”
