A/N: Today's muse is brought to you by nature
Wednesday past by and Gerard made no appearance at school again, not even for art. I sat in drama on thursday watching Marshal's older sister Ashley sing for a part in our production of The sound of Music. I knew I could sing pretty well, I wasn't bad, but then again everyone trying out was part of the after school Drama club.
"Devon?" Mr. Carney asked.
I looked up at my drama teacher. He nodded to the the stage and I slowly stood. A few people cheered 'goergia boy' but I rolled my eyes. If I made this audition I was going to have to return after school.
"Down a key,"I asked.
Mr. Carney smiled, and then began to play 16 going on 17 lower than the Rolph on screen had sung it. I closed my eyes and began to sing the part of Rolph, I could feel it pushing through my chest deep within. My eyes slowly opened at the quiet part that was the closer for the song. A lot of the audience was staring in shock, some gave me jealous glares.
"Thank you Devon, see you later tonight."
I slowly stumbled off to the wings, once I found the catwalk I sat on the steps and took a deep breath. A smiled slowly slipped onto my face and I felt relief wash over me. My cell phone vibrated in my pocket and I flipped it open. A text message from Frank, he normally didn't send me one this late in the school day. I'd be seeing him at break while heading to chemistry anyways.

I texted him back with the news about the play, and closed my phone. The bell rang and I grabbed my bag from the seats; I slowly walked down the hall to Frank who stood with Mikey...Mikey looked upset and quickly grabbed Alicia. Together they walked down the hall and Alicia mouthed 'sorry' before turning the corner with Mikey.
"Whats the deal Frank?"
"Dude," Frank motioned for me to keep quiet.
The hall grew more and more crowded, Frank and I headed for a quiet spot under the 9's wing stairs. Frank looked behind his back and then lead in close to my ear.
"Whats going on, have you been dicking around with the threat of Gerard?"
"What! What on earth are you talking about Frank. He beat me up remember, it's not my fault he's deciding to play hookey."
"You seem to be acting really cockey Devon, whats up? I think there's something your not telling me," Frank stared at me with his hard eyes.
I couldn't swallow, everything I was trying to hide from everyone was becoming larger each day, I wanted nothing more to tell Frank I was gay and get it off my chest.
"I've been trying not to act scared. Thats all," I shrugged.
But Frank wasn't convinced.
