At lunch, as promised, Ray sat with me. We sit under an old oak tree in front of the cafeteria. I pick at my lunch tray. Ray quickly eats his and throws it away. I sit it beside me and pull out my TMNT comic. Ray gasps and reaches out for it.
“This is the only one that I don’t own!”
“You read TMNT comics?”
He nods “Of course!”
“Cool… I read all kinda of comics but they go missing and Gerard ‘buys’ one.”
“Gerard?”
“Oh! That’s my asshole brother who tries to control my life, while at the same time ignoring me.”
He nods slowly “Right… you haven’t touched your food and your stomach’s been growling like crazy…”
“I’m just… I don’t like pizza.” I lie. Actually, pizza is my favorite food.
“Oh… ok…”
“Gee’s in out next class, art.” I sigh, “It’ll be a blast…”
Ray chuckles.
Gerard groans, loudly, and balls up his piece of paper. I roll my eyes. He’s such a perfectionist. And he really doesn’t believe in an eraser. I’d kill to have his drawing skills. Actually, I’m not bad. I draw pretty damn well. Just, not as well as Gerard. It irks my how he can say something sucks. I think he does it just so he can hear “No it doesn’t.” from some random person. Another thing about Gerard, no one cared when I came out. I Michael Way am 100% homosexual. I told my parents. At first dad was pissed, but later that evening he caught Gerard messing around with Bert, his ex, in his bedroom. What I said had been erased from the universe.
Frank hugs Gerard and calms him down. Ray looks at me and rolls his eyes.
“You’re brother’s quite the drama queen, isn’t he?” he mumbles.
I burst into laughter.
The rest of the class shoots me curious looks. I look down and scribble onto my paper. I’m not very good with faces and such. I’m drawing different sets of handholding. The first on has a girl hand (You can tell by the slightly longer nail and slenderness) and a boy hand. The second is two girls. The third is two boys. Underneath I write Handholding is still hand holding, even with similar hands. I can feel someone’s eyes on me. I look up and see Ray, smiling at my picture.
“Good point.” He grins.
I nod slowly and feel myself blush.
“So are you-?”
“Class the bells is about to ring put what you’re working on into your portfolios and clean up you mess!”
After class Gerard looks over at Ray “Ray, right?”
Ray nods “Hmm… annoying asshole brother… is that what you said Mikey?” he jokes.
I blush and cross my arms.
Gee frowns “Awe…” he says in a mock-sad voice “You think I’m an asshole?”
I sigh “Just take me home…”
“Sure, you wanna come with?” he looks over at Ray “We’re getting Michaels favorite, cheese pizza!”
My heart stops as Ray looks over at me.
“Yeah... sounds cool I’ll text my mom.”
We sit in the back with Bob.
“Ray I-“
“Why’d you lie? I mean… about pizza? That’s lame…”
I sigh “I…” everyone’s attention is on us “Later, ok?”
He nods “I’m holding you to that.”
I nod “I bet you will”
“This is the only one that I don’t own!”
“You read TMNT comics?”
He nods “Of course!”
