Going and Staying

story based on what my friend wants her love life to be like lol =] enjoy and tell what you think =]

The school hallways seem to get longer and longer every day, was the only thing running through Gene’s head as he tried to maneuver through the crowed hallways of Columbia High School. The clock had just stuck 12:05 which meant it was time for lunch and the people were all pushing and shoving to get to the line first. The look in their eyes said that they all hadn’t been feed in week even thought they had all probably eaten breakfast. How pathetic thought Gene as he walked past the cafeteria to the comfort of the outdoors. He took out his MP3 from his pocket and slipped on the ear phones and turned to his favorite band, All that Remains. The combination of the music and the cool Burbank air made him want to lay down and sleep. Then with out warning someone pulled his hood over his head and began to suffocate him. Gene struggled but the attacker was far to strong. Where the hell are the teachers when you need them tough Gene. Finally he got the upper hand and managed to rip the attackers grip from his hood. When he whipped away his long black hair from his face he saw that it had just been his friend Jarvis.

“Man you were freaking out” laughed Jarvis nearly rolling on the floor from laughter.

“Very funny Jarvis I nearly died of suffocation” laughed Gene giving his friend and playful punch. The rest of the lunch hour Gene and Jarvis spent goofing around and discussing the newest bands. At 12:40 the five minute bell rang announcing that it was almost time for class. Gene and Jarvis rushed to class not wanting to face an angry teacher. Gene walked into Honor Science with time to spare. He walked to the back of the class where his seat was located. His friend Dalton and Matthew were standing around talking to Jasmin and Shea. Gene sat down not really in the mood to talk to anyone. The bell rang and everyone quickly took their seats waiting for Mr. Pettyjohn to start the class. It was a week before Spring Break so all they did was watch videos and take notes. The class passed pretty quickly and for that Gene was thankful. The bell rang, announcing that class had ended Gene collected his things and rushed out of his next class. His next class was one of his easiest, Spanish 1, it was easy for him because he already knew Spanish. He took his regular seat and took out his notebook. The class filled in quickly and Mr.Dabbs fought to get the class in order. They had been working on yet another culture project and Gene was itching to get with his partner and crush Aleasha. He had recently patched up their broken friendship and had grown to like her as more then a friend. Finally Mr. Dabbs let the class go to the computer lab to get started on their projects.

“Hey Aleasha” smiled Gene as he walked up next to her on their way down the hallway.

“hello Gene” responded Aleasha returning his smile. They got to the lab and took their seats at the front computer. Gene liked it because it had no one else around so Aleasha gave him all he attention.

“So what do you want to look for?” asked Alseasha taking out her notebook and an pencil.

“Uhh I can take the breakfast and drinks” said Gene looking towards the computer for a bit of courage.

“Ok then I’ll take whatever is left” smiled Aleasha. Gene couldn’t keep his eyes of her even thought he knew he should be working on his project above all else. He had been talking to her on myspace for a while now and was confident that she might like him to. Which gave him great hope and filled his small heart with joy.

“Ok its almost time to head back to class so everyone save whatever your doing and lets go. S**t thought Gene looking down at the computer to see that he hadn’t done a thing over the half hour.

“Did you get anything done?” Asked Aleasha as they walked to class.

“Yeah plenty” lied Gene not wanting to explain why he hadn’t gotten anything done. “you?”

“Yeah I found so really interesting recipes for the cook book”

“Well that’s great, you think we should make a power point or a regular menu?”

“I think we should just do a regular menu, it’s a bit easier”

“Ok, great”

They got to class just as the final bell rang. Gene grabbed his bag and quickly left the class. He pulled out his MP3 and slipped on the ear phones, not wanting to hear the ruckus of the hallways. He walked out to wait for the bus but found that it was starting to rain. He pulled his hood over his head and continued to walk. His brother, Karl, was already there when Gene got there. Gene looked to his brother and saw the wires of the ear phones, stick out from his long black hair. So he didn’t bother to try and talk to him. Soon the bus stop was crowed with kids waiting to go home. A few minutes later the bus arrived and everyone filled in. Gene walked past the groups of screaming elementary and middle school kids to the back of the bus. The Bus ride was always one of the longest parts of the day because of how far they lived. But finally they arrived in Charbonneau just as the ride was getting unbearable. Gene and Karl walked to their ranch style home from the road in silence. Gene’s mind wandered around aimlessly trying to find anything else then Aleasha but her face just wouldn’t leave.

“GENE!” yelled someone into his ear.

“What?” yelled Gene back looking around to see who it had been. Then he came face to face with his brother looking at him like he was an idiot.

“Mom is telling you to take out the trash moron” barked Karl walking up the stairs to his room. Gene went into the kitchen and took out the trash to their dumpster. He returned to the house and ran up to his room before his parents could get a chance to ask him to do anything else. He threw him self on his unmade bed and covered him self in the sheets. He wanted to stay awake to talk to Aleasha on myspace but sleep dragged his eyelids down and shut-down his mind before he could do anything else.

Mesmerize

Marleny looked at her friend, Shea as she watched Gene walk across the cafeteria to the door that head out to the front of the school, and laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” asked Shea.

“I’m laughing at you, you goof, you look like some love struck pup” laughed Marleny. “You need to toughen up and talk to him”

“I have talked to him, just not that much”

“Well then why don’t you tell him how you feel?, then you will talk a lot more”

“Because he like Aleasha” Marleny knew just what Shea was talking about. You would have to be blind not to be able to tell that Gene was crushing on Aleasha. Plus her and Shea had both been crushing on Gene since the begging of the year, but Marleny had seen reality and crushed her crush. Sadly Shea had not, and was now feeling the affect of having it thrown in you face.

“So you still stand a chance” encouraged Marleny.

“Yeah right what planet are you living on” grumbled Shea.

“I’m living on Pluto with my three legged dog and four eyed cat”

“Hahaha very funny”

“Hahaha I know”

“So Marleny how are you and Dalton?” Marleny cringed at the question, she had been hoping no one would ask he that.

“We broke up remember”

“Oh right, how do you feel about it?”

“I feel pretty good about it cause now I have the freedom to check out his cute friend will”

“Hahahaha wow Marleny you sure move on quickly”

“Well life’s to short to waste mopping around because of some guy that is easily replaced”

“Hahaha nice”

“Now sorry but I must go to the library to see if I can find a good book on poetry” Marleny got up from the lunch table and walked to the small school library. As usual it was completely abandoned. Marleny walked towards the small poetry section in her usual sluggish fashion. As she reached the shelve of books she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the library window. Marleny was not a big fan of her self, she had never actually felt comfortable in her own skin. She was short with a curved figure. She had short brown hair that went from long in the back to short in the front with medium length bangs. She had simple face features that just seemed to add to he plain look. The only thing that really stuck out about her was her dark brown skin that during summer just seemed to get darker, which add to Marleny’s frustration about her body. Marleny took a seat on the floor and began to think about the events that might unfold with Gene and Shea.

Genuine

Gene lifted his head from the soft pillow and look towards the night stand where his digital clock was. It blinked 1:20 a.m in its regular neon green light. He lifted him self from the bed and dragged his tired body to the computer. He logged on to myspace and saw that Aleasha was on. And that alone shock all the tiredness from his body.

“Hey Alesaha” typed Gene.

“Hey Gene J ”

“What r u up to?”

“Nothing just doing working on our Spanish project, you?”
“Just bored lol”

“So how r u doing?”

“Lol good J uhhhh may I ask you something?”

“Sure go ahead”

“Do you like me as uhhhhhh more then a friend?” Gene held his breath waiting for the reply. He knew that it was a kind of out of the blue question but curiosity had been eating him for a while now.

“Yeah =^.^= you?” Genes heart nearly jumped out of his chest after reading the reply, he couldn’t believe it could it really be true.

“Yeah =]”

“Hahahaha So……….What now?”

“Uhhhh Do you want to be my girlfriend” Gene once again held his breath almost turning purple from the wait.

“…………………………….......Yes ^^”

“Awesome! =]”

“Well I got to go get some sleep but I will talk to you later ok night”

“Ok good night”

Gene singed off of myspace and threw him self back on his bed. His heart was beating at about 100 beats a minute and his head was filled with all kinds of images that included him and Aleasha. The clock on his night stand now flashed 2:05 a.m. Gene crawled up to his pillow and wrapped him self in his white bed sheets, letting the weight of the day close his lids.

During the night Gene began to dream of Aleasha. Aleasha was short with an average girly figure. She had clear-cut face feature that add to her unique look. Her hair was cut in a short boo with an A-line cut. Gene looked at he and felt himself get warm all over. She was standing on the dock facing the sun, wearing a long white dress that moved with the strange wind the was blowing. She would turn around and stretched out her hand towards Gene inviting him to come to her. Gene walked over to where she was and took her hand. Oddly it was cold as ice, Gene brushed a hand across her face and felt the same thing. How strange he thought is she suppose to be this cold. Alseasha grabbed both his hands and dragged him towards the end of the dock. Come on Gene lets jump said Aleasha dragging him closer and closer to the edge. Gene looked at Aleasha with puzzlement. Why asked Gene but Aleasha ignored his question and continued to drag him towards the edge with great force that he never knew she would have for such a small girl. Finally they reached the edge but the usually calm river water had turned into a a monstrous waterfall. The dark water fell of into nothing but misty white clouds. Gene tried to back away from the edge but Aleasha still had a strong hold on his hand. Come on Gene lets jump smiled Aleasha pulling him closer to the edge. Let got said Gene scratching at her hand. Come on Gene lets jump repeated Aleasha. She dragged him even closer to the edge so that he could feel the water spray on his face. Gene turned his attention away from her hand and looked up at her face. She still held that tranquil smile. Gene felt a sick feeling at the pit of his stomach, how could she still be smiling. Let go yelled Gene begging to feel panic rising in his throat. Come on Gene it will be fun smiled Aleasha. LET GO! Screamed Gene ripping his hand away from Aleasha. Oh Gene your so blind said Aleasha turning her back to him. Aleasha walked to the edge of the dock and gave Gene one more look over her shoulder then leaped into the dark waters below. Gene ran to the edge but saw no sing of Aleasha. She shouldn’t have jumped said a voice from behind Gene. Startled Gene quickly swirled around to see the face that went along with the voice. Hello Gene said Shea walking closer towards him. Gene stared in amazement he had never seen Shea look so beautiful. Her long hair fell over her shoulders in dark waves framing her striking face. Her bluish grey eyes were set on him and her plum pink lips where curved into a smile that would put angles to shame. She stood there bare foot wearing a stunning kimono decorated with pink cherry blossoms and humming birds in a variety of shades. Shea what are you doing here asked Gene staring at Shea with open admiration. I’m here to help you duh replied Shea extending a hand towards Gene. Gene stared at Shea’s hand, it looked warm and inviting like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter night. Gene took Shea’s hand and Immediately he felt like a rush of electricity had just run thought his whole body leaving a tingling sensation like fizz soda behind. He smiled the feeling was so relaxing yet thrilling at the same time. Do you trust me asked Shea looking Gene straight in the eye. With out even taking a moment to think about it he responded yes. Great then will you follow me where ever I go asked Shea taking Gene’s other hand in hers. Gene felt the warm buzz go run through him once again. Yes of course I will he answered. Gene no longer had control of what he was saying, his mouth was forming words that his heart wanted to say not his brain. All reason ran out of him, if Shea had asked him to get down and grovel like a dog he would have, if she would have asked him to rip his own arm, stupid as it may be, he would have done it just for her. Come with me Gene, whispered Shea into his ear blushing her lips against the softness of his neck. Gene felt shivers run down his spine at the small contact. Shea lead Gene to the edge of the dock and tolled him to jump. With out hesitation Gene leaped into the dark waters. Gene had expected some sort of shock from the cold waters but the real shock came when he opened his eyes. He wasn’t falling into a pit of white mist or even drowning in dark waters. Instead he stood in the middle of an all white room with Shea at his side. Where are we Gene asked looking around for some sing of life. We are some where in your mind smiled Shea. Gene looked at her in total shock ,how can that be, is my mind really this blank asked Gene examining the room more closely. Well right now yes because all you are think about is the blank room now think of something else, responded Shea giving him a warm smile. Gene closed his eyes and began to think of a warm July morning when he had snuck out of his house to go swimming with his friend German. Open your eyes whispered Shea. Gene open his eyes and was taken back by what he saw. Out of now where his thoughts were being played on what seemed like the wall of the room. Images of German leaping into the river played with no sound. See those are your memories smiled Shea. Gene looked down at Shea and smiled. Suddenly the screen went blank then started up again this time playing images of him and Shea kissing. Gene looked over at the screen and immediately tuned a deep burgundy red, That hasn’t ever happed said Gene looking down at his worn out shoes, why is it playing. Its what you desire, whispered Shea lifting his chin up to look at her, And its also what I want. Gene’s stomach filled with crazed butterfly, making his knees go weak and his hands go clammy. Shea stood on her tippy toes getting closer to Gene’s lips. Gene reached down and wrapped his arms around Shear’s waist pulling her closer to him, he leaned his head down only inches away from her lips.

“BEEP! BEEP!” went the alarm clock. Gene reached out from under the tangle of sheets and hit the snooze button. It was 5:30 a.m. and Gene felt like raw noodles, his body ached from movements he had never actually done. His head hurt from to much thinking about something that hadn’t really happened. Last night had been a dream and only a dream it meant nothing, he had once had a dream that he was making out with the Synyster Gates but that didn’t mean he was gay because it had been nothing more then a dream. Gene pushed of the mess of sheets and walked to the hallway bathroom. The sun was not up yet so the house was dark and cold. Gene walked towards the bathroom, the floorboards creaking after every step. Gene turned on the bright white light and waited a minute until his eye adjusted to the new setting. He went to the shower and turn the hot water on. He slipped out of his checkered pajama pants and Avenged Sevenfold t-shirt and stood in the middle of the bathroom in only his small blue boxers. As he was walking to the shower he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror and stopped. His body seem to stay the same no matter what he did. He was tall and pale as a full moon. He also never seem to gain any weight, he could see his ribs through his skin on his stomach and his arms and legs were like long twigs. He turned away from the mirror and walk to the shower slipping out of his boxers on the way. He stepped into the shower and slide under the sprayer. The water was scolding hot but he did seem to notice his mind was to busy roaming back over last nights dream. He closed his eyes and tried to remember that lightning feeling the he had felt when touching Shear’s hand but he could seem to find the memory. The water went cold and hit gene like a ton of brick. He turned off the water and stepped out into the fog filled room taking a towel from the rack and wrapping it around his wait. He collected his clothes from the floor and walked back to the room. He looked out his window and saw that the sun was begging to peek over the horizon painting the clouds in the usual purple. Why, why, why thought Gene pulling on his skinny blue jean. The dream wouldn’t leave his thoughts, it was invading his mind like Hitler invaded Europe. He slipped his favorite My Chemical Romance t-shirt on and pulled on his black Adio shoes.

“Ahhhhhhhh” howled Gene felling over whelmed by the stupid dream. Gene grabbed is MP3 and ran out of the house before anyone else was awake. He ran and ran not caring where it is that his feet toke him as long as he could get away from that haunting dream. The scenery began to blur and fade around him and he felt nothing but relief. The only thing he could hear now was the pounding of his legs on the road and his breath coming in and out of his lungs. He concentrated his mind on the pain he felt in his legs and the burning feeling he felt in his lungs. Finally the pain became to great and he had to stop. He collapsed on a patch of green grass and tried to catch his breath. But even after his breathing returned to normal and his legs lost all feelings he didn’t get up. Then with out warning a smile cracked across his face, then opened to a laugh. A loud and hearty laugh, he laughed until tears streaked his lovely face. He lifted him self off the cool grass and looked around to see where it is his feet had taken him. When he realized where he was he let out another laugh, he had thought that he had ran at least a mile or two from his house but he had just ended up in Charbonneau park. He walked over to that lager green and tan jungle gym and sat on the small swing. A small breeze passed thought the park causing a small tornado of orange and red leaves to swirl past Gene. He smiled welcoming the sight of nature. He jumped of the swing and strolled to the small piece of land that stuck out into the river. Gene took in a deep breath sucking in the sweet and musky smell of the river. He perched him self on a boulder and looked out to dark waters. Then unexpectedly Aleasha’s face formed in the water. A look of utter horror was pasted on Gene’s face as he scrabble back trying to get away from her.

Where are you going gene said Aleasha with that same sickening smile. Get away from me! Cried Gene trying to get to his feet. Aleasha jumped on top of him holding him down with her body. Oh Gene, Gene, Gene you forgot to kiss me smiled Aleasha. No, no get away from me yelled Gene struggling against Aleasha’s grip. Aleasha didn’t pay the least attention to Genes struggle she bend down and locked her icy lips on to Gene’s. Gene awoke yelling like crazy.

“it was just a dream” whispered Gene out loud. He looked around and saw that he was still in the park but now it was dark, he had slept thought the whole day.

“S**t!” yelled Gene taking off towards his house. He tip toed in trying to be as quiet as he possibly could, so that if his parents were asleep he wouldn’t wake them. The house was pitch black with not a soul to be seen. Gene wiggled his way up to his room and fell into bed. He rested his head against his silky pillow but still he couldn’t seem to fall asleep. He haul him self from the bed and went to his computer. He logged into myspace and saw that he had a new message. Who could it be thought Gene clicking on the icon. The page loaded and was headed “hi” Gene looked down and saw “from Shea” written at the bottom. Suddenly Gene head felt light and fuzzy like sea foam. He shock off the feeling and clicked to see what she had written, feeling his stomach drop to the bottom of his foot.

The Day

It was a cold and punishing morning. No one in the right mind would be out in this kind of weather thought Gene looking out the window towards the empty road. He turned back to the computer and read Shear’s message for about the millionth time that day.

“Hey Gene

I love your Inuyasha pics they rock!! XD
also the ones of fluffy ^^
so have you seen all the episodes?”

It was a pretty simple message yet he could find away to respond to it. He didn’t want to sound cold but he didn’t know any other way to respond.

“Its just a freaking girl who cares how I sound to her” grumbled Gene running a hand through his raven black hair. He sat down in his old computer chair and began to type her a response.

“thank you
and no I’ve seen just about all of them except for 30-36 “

Gene looked over his response and hit send. He logged of right after, not wanting to see if she would respond.

“Gene were going into town to get some groceries want to come?” yelled his mom from the stairs.

“Sure” hollered Gene back, running out to catch up with the rest of his family. The Richland Winco looked like an ant hill that had just been informed that a storm was going to hit. The people were all running around grabbing chips, soda, snacks, potatoes, tomatoes, and all other kinds of products of the shelf’s. Gene looked around and saw a couple fighting to get a roosted chicken. And on the other side were two old ladies playing tug a war with a bottle of prune juice. A cluster of little kids sat on the white tile floor crying like dogs for their parents. The sales people were running all over the place ,like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to stop all the commotion. Gene looked at all the uproar and wanted to laugh, how could people be so chaotic. He tried to stay as close to his family, so that he wouldn’t get lost but while trying to get through a mob of people searching for perfect tomatoes, Gene was separated from his parents. He pushed and clawed his way but saw no sing of his parents. He wandered around up and down the isles but still couldn’t find his parents. After a while he just decided to wait for them on the bench in front of the cashier boxes. He weaved his way through the crowed of people waiting at the casher boxes and headed for the small bench. But just as he was approaching it he saw something that knocked the wind out of his lungs faster then the time German had shoved a basketball into his stomach. A gorgeous girl sat at the bench holding a Guitar World magazine with Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance on the cover. She had a short black bob with blunt bangs that framed her stunning face. She had a full bubble gum lips, a cute nose, and almond eyes the color of honey. She wore a black pinstriped pencil skits with a widow corset top layered over a white t-shirt and a pair of all black converse. As Gene got closer he noticed that she had a her anti-brow piercing on the left side of her face and a spider bite on her bottom right lip. Gene had no idea why but suddenly he had an instant attraction to this girl. And not in a girlfriend kind of way but more as a friend.

“Hello do you mind if I sit here?” asked Gene when he finally reached the bench.

“No, go right ahead” said the girl giving him a tender smile.

“Do you like Avenged Sevenfold?” asked Gene taking a seat next to her.

“Yup they are one of my favorite bands”
“What are some of your others?”

“Oh well there is to many to name in just one sitting”

“Ha really so have you ever been to any of Avenge Sevenfold concerts?”
“Nahh I almost did when I went down to Cali but it was sold out, have you?”

“No but I hopefully will get to when I go down to visit a friend”

“Oh well that sounds existing, by the way my name is Storm”

“That’s a very pretty name mine is just Gene”
Gene continued the conversation, loving how sweet and open the girl was. They continued to talk until his brother came over and tolled him they had to go. Storm stood up and wrote her myspace url on his arm with a pen and tolled him they should hang out another time. Gene smiled and ran to catch up with his family.

“And where did you go Gene?, we were looking all over for you” asked his mom.

“I was looking for a book” lied Gene not really wanting to discuss anything with his parents. The rest of the way home Gene looked down at his arm retracing the word Storm have written on his arm with his pinky finger.
