“I met one of your friends today,” Mikey says when Gerard gets home. Gerard goes straight to the fridge and grabs two sodas.

“Oh?” Gerard says, handing Mikey a Coke. Mikey takes it gratefully – he's thirsty.

“Bob. He says he tutored you in Spanish,” Mikey says.

“Bob Bryar!” Gerard says, smiling. “He's a good guy. Really good.”

“He seemed cool,” Mikey says.

“He really is,” Gerard says happily. Then, “Guess what?”

Mikey takes another sip of Coke and sits on the couch. “I don't know, what?”

“Mrs. McMillan says I can do my own thing in art this semester. She wants me to paint a series,” Gerard says. He's animated and happy.

“That's great,” Mikey says. “What are you going to do?”

Gerard bites his lip. “I'm not sure, really. I mean, there's so many things I could do, you know?”

“Yeah,” Mikey says. He likes when Gerard talks about art; it makes him light right up.

“So I thought about some things like, I don't know, Despair and Misery...”

Mikey laughs. “Dude, that's a little too emo even for you.”

Gerard grins. “But then I got the idea of doing a series based on classic horror films.”

“Now that would be awesome,” Mikey says.

“Yeah, and we can watch a lot of movies as research,” Gerard says with a smile.

Mikey laughs. “That'll be cool.”

“Hey, maybe we could invite Bob over to watch with us,” Gerard says, and Mikey wonders if he's trying to set up a love connection or something. Mikey's not quite sure...
