Chapter 12
Frank sat back under the tree until lunch was over and then he slowly made his way back into the school and over to his locker. He locked at his timetable. History and Maths not the most appealing of lessons. He was about to get his stuff out of his locker whne he looked back at his timetable. It was only two lessons, it wasn't like anyone woould miss him for just two hours and this would give him another decent opportunity to get what he was after. He shoved his things quickly back into his locker and snuck out of the school carefully.
He hung around outside the school for the last two hours until he heard the final bell ring, looking round he picked the perfect spot and waited. It was just right-out of sight but in earshot because if they weren't going to tell them this secret, he would have to find out for himself.
Frank heard Ray and Bobs voices getting closer, he sank back into his place and listened. They had to know something or at least more than he did. They walked passed and Frank followed a little way behind them. He couldn't hear what they were saying but he was sure his name had been mentioned quite a lot, which couldn't be good. He was about to catch up with them and start talking when he heard the rest of the group a little way behind.
Frank found somewhere else to hide himself as the group passed him slightly and then came to a stop with Ray and Bob. Frank could hear their conversation more clearly now.
"Yeah he wasn't in the last two lessons" said Mikey. "Y'know Gee did look pretty pissed off when he came over at lunch." Said Amy thoughtfully. "You don't suppose....." "He wouldn't!!Would he?" Asked Hannah nervously, looking up at Mikey. Mikey shook his head but didn't say anything. If he was honest he didn't know what Gerard would do especially after his recent outburst. "Yes" said Ray "But we all know how protective Gerard is. Especially over you 5." "Ray!" said Tom playfully "You make Gee sound like some kind of mass murderer or something!!"
Everyone laughed and then looked up. Gerard seemed to appear out of no where with the girl. Except this girl had dark hair. Frank frowned, he was sure the girl from earlier had been blonde, but he'd been seeing things all day and he couldn't be sure. He shifted his weight slightly trying to get a better look. He was almost close enough to see when he lost his balance. He tried to pick himself up but it was too late, Gerard had already seen him...........
