You were sitting class doodling in your notebook as you listened to the teacher yap on about history. There is a knock at the door and the teacher opens it. Itâs Frank. Heâs late. Again. âMr. Iero. This is becoming an occurrence in my class. Would you please enlighten us on why youâre tardy?â âUhâŚYou see my ma called. Sheâs been in the hospital for a week and the doctors said sheâs getting worseâŚI apologize.â âReally? Because yesterday I ran into her at the supermarket.â âUhâŚâ âSit down.â
Frank walked over to his seat which surprise was right next to yours. You look over and see him. Heâs intimidating. You rolled your eyes as he winked at you. In your head you pictured him as some hoodlum who lived in a janky house but had nice parents that were probably scared of him. You felt bad for his parents.
You imagined he was in a gang and got into trouble. Also how dare he try to use his motherâs health to get away with skipping? Poor her.
Next period was EnglishâŚAnd lucky you, you had Frank in that class. Surprisingly he wasnât late but he was talking up a storm to his friend Ray. You didnât know much about Ray but he seemed nicer than Frank. âOkay class settle down.â The teacher spoke. âI know the past couple of days we have read about Romeo and Juliet but now we are starting a project! I will assign you a scene from the play and you are to create a mini movie at home.â This sounded fun. You liked the play and hoped you got paired with one of your friends. Your friends were already looking at you with their fingers crossed. You smile and nodded back at them.
âAnd y/nâŚYouâll be paired withâŚFrank! Your scene is Act 1 Scene 5 at the Capulet Ball where Romeo and Juliet share their first kiss!â âWhat?!â Both of you say equally. âItâs worth half your grade.â Your teacher reminded you. Oh dear lord.
At lunch Frank was with his friends talking about the situation. âIâd rather die than kiss her. If anything I bet sheâs a snobby rich girl who uses up her daddyâs money at the flick of a button.â âHave you actually had a conversation with her, Frank?â Illi asks. âNo. But I just know these things. I can read people like an open book and trust me this book is open.â âI think sheâs actually nice.â Ray said. âShe let me copy her notes once.â âYeah. Once. Maybe she felt sorry for you. Thatâs what those girls do.â
Mikey shook his head. âShe stops by the book store. She likes to read a lot. She also gives me and Ills a tip.â âWhatever. Iâm not kissing her. If I do I might throw up.â You then approach the table. âHey are you free to work on the project soon?â You ask Frank. âYeah. Iâm assuming your place?â âNo. Yours is fine.â âWhy huh?â âBecause. Just I wanna do it there. Please?â âWhatever.â Frank grabbed your hand and scribbled his address on it. âDonât let it wash off.â âWhatever.â
Frankâs house was nothing like you expected. It was clean and had a good smell. You were surprised it didnât smell like cigarettes with how many you catch him smoke in a day. His parents were absolute sweethearts as well and welcomed you with open arms.
In Frankâs room you took note of all the comic books and horror movie posters. âWow.â You say. Frank rolls his eyes and says, âWhat? Not your typical style?â âOh if you knew.â âYeah? What is the princess into?â âDonât call me that.â âWhy princess?â You roll your eyes. âI like the misfits.â You say. âPoser.â Frank replies. âPoser? How? You like em too I see the posters!â âPoser because youâre just saying that I bet you canât name any of their songs.â âReally? Dig her bones up. Hybrid moments. Last Caress. And Die, die my darling. Now do you want to get on with the project or fail even more in class because honey Iâve seen your grade and it isnât looking too good.â
Frank shut up real quick and grabbed his notes that they had taken in class.
Now the two of you were great at acting and couldâve gotten the filming done right then and thereâŚOnly thing was Frank wouldnât kiss you. Just hugged you. âYouâre not supposed to hug me.â âI donât want to kiss you.â âNeither do I but we need the damn grade so just get it over with!â You say. âLook Iâll probably be better tomorrow. Besides itâs getting late Iâm sure your parents want you back home. So see you tomorrow.â âYouâŚNever mind. Fine. Iâll see you later.â You grab your stuff and leave Frankâs room. Thank god that shit show was over but sadly youâd have to relive it again tomorrow.
As the days went by you were starting to look forward to hanging out with Frankâs after school. Surprisingly he was too. The two of you shared common interests like music and movies which was also surprising to him. And suddenly? You were kinda hoping heâd kiss you soon.
âHey we canât film at my place. My aunts are coming over and I donât want them disturbing us.â âMy placeâŚ? UhâŚâ âCome on dude the deadline is almost up.â âOkay okay. My place.â You say. God did you hate that.
After school the two of you walked to your home and boy was it nothing like Frank expected. He expected some grand home that was two stories and was fancy but your home was just regular like his. When you walked inside he saw beer cans everywhere and your father asleep on the couch obviously drunk off his ass. You motion Frank to be quiet as you led him to your room.
Your room was much nicer than the living room and Frank smiled at the posters on your wall. All horror movie posters. âSorry about that my dad is better like that.â ââŚOh uhâŚItâs not a problem. Iâm sorry you have to go through that.â âItâs fine.â You say and start getting things ready.
As the two of you are acting out the scene itâs going smooth as usual both of you memorize the lines and your acting is greatâŚThen the part where Frank is supposed to kiss you happens and heâŚHugs you again. âFrank whatâs up with you?â âIâm sorry I justâŚâ âItâs okayâŚâ You say. Maybe he was just uncomfortable. Yeah you get that he kinda was forced to kiss you in the first place all for the expense of his grade. âFrank do you want to talk about itâŚ?â You ask. Maybe it was a personal problem he had.
âItâs justâŚFuck. I was so wrong about you.â Wow that was unexpected. âYouâre so cool and I said these horrible things behind your backâŚTold my friends that I bet you use your daddyâs money but after seeing the display he showed out there? Fuck itâs bothering me. And even before that! At first I didnât want to kiss you because I was being an ass but now? I donât want to kiss you cause I donât want to ruin this good thing we have going on. And Iâm sure you probably think youâre in no fit to be in a relationship and Iâm not saying that-â Before he could continue rambling you kissed his lips to shut him up.
His eyes got wide but he ultimately kissed back. He wanted to do this as soon as he started to like you but fuck was his mind holding him back. Thankfully you did it for him. You pulled back and asked. âWas that so bad?â Frank then kissed you again while holding you tighter.
After a while of making out the both of you were able to film the kissing scene together without messing up and now the editing process began which wouldnât take long.
A week after the assignment was due you and Frank got your grade back and it was an A. Thankfully.
Despite the project being over you and Frank hung out more and even started to go on dates here and there. Frank was also there for you when you needed to vent about your father and his alcohol addiction. His family was also there for you and welcomed you whenever you didnât feel safe at home.
In your mind you wouldâve never pictured being in a relationship with the boy you made assumptions about but here you were. And you were more than thankful you got to know him better because Frank meant everything to you.
Fun fact me and my friends our freshman year had to do a project similar to the one in the fic only thing was we chose the fight scene with Tybalt as our film and we used finger puppetsđ Anyways I hope that you enjoyed this my lovelies and Iâll see you next fic! Mwah!đđЎ
