She’s so pretty…
Frank hadn’t seen her before. She was taller than Frank (which was no achievement, not even for a girl), she had a black, messy and quite short hair and hazel brown eyes lined with black eyeliner. When she smiled widely you could see her tiny white teeth and she talked from the other side of her mouth. Frank hadn’t heard her voice, but he believed it was nice. He believed that the whole girl was nice. No one as adorable as she, could not be nice.
Frank’s friend, Bob, had asked him to come to a party on Friday and Bob had said that the new girl would also be there ‘cause Bob knew her brother. Frank had agreed to go and was looking forward to it.
“Frank! What’s up bro?” Frank heard Bob’s voice as he pushed past people to get out of the hall and into the living room.
“Hi Bob!” Frank smiled and hugged his friend. He saw a tall and very skinny boy standing behind Bob and wondered if it was that new girl’s brother Bob was talking about.
“This is Mikey.” Bob introduced. The skinny boy waved and smiled timidly to Frank who smiled and introduced himself as Frank. That was all they could talk before Ray and Brian appeared from somewhere and started the endless chatter about the girls that Bob had invited there. Frank just laughed and headed to the kitchen to get something to drink. He walked to the fridge and was about to open it when someone pushed him so that he was smashed against the counter.
“HEY! Even though I’m small it doesn’t mean you can push--…” Frank turned around and stopped talking when he realized it was the new girl he was staring at.
“I’m so sorry… I didn’t mean to push you or anything.” she looked at Frank apologetically.
“Uh… um… it doesn’t matter.” Frank muttered and looked down at his feet. He felt stupid. He had just yelled at maybe the most attractive girl he had ever seen. The girl didn’t seem to mind about it. She just asked if Frank wanted to have something to drink and after Frank mumbled ‘beer thanks’ she took two cans of beer from the fridge and handed the other one to Frank. Frank thanked her and opened the can. She started to talk about random things like music and comics and stuff and Frank felt like he had known her for ages. She was like some kind of boy in girl’s body. She had a pretty rough voice for a girl but when she laughed she was totally a girl (well Frank had to admit that his own laugh (or maybe it was a giggle) was even more girlish then hers). They drank quite a lot of beer and laughed a lot and they had very much in common.
“Do you wanna come out with me? I’m gonna go out for a cigarette.” she asked from Frank after a short quiet moment.
“Well… why not.” Frank agreed and followed her out.
“So… what’s your name?” the girl asked once they were out, both smoking.
“Frank. What’s yours?” Frank blew the smoke out of his mouth and turned to look in those beautiful eyes.
“Gee.” the girl answered, then they were quiet again.
“Gerard…” both, Frank and Gee, turned to look at the doorway where the voice came from. It was the same tall and skinny boy, Mikey, who Frank saw a little earlier with Bob. Frank started thinking of what Mikey just said: Gerard. It was a boy’s name… right? But she totally looked like a girl… she even wore a skirt!
“What is it Mikey?” Gee (or Gerard) asked and looked at her brother (which he obviously was), smiling kindly.
“I’m gonna stay here with Bob, so you don’t have to wait for me incase you still wanna go home.” Mikey muttered so quietly that Frank wasn’t sure about all of the words. Gee just smiled at her brother and gave him a hug and a little peck on his cheek. “Okay, have fun, I love you bro.”
“I love you too, dude.” Mikey smiled and walked back in.
“Sooo… are you gonna go home now?” Frank asked a little awkwardly.
“I guess so.” Gee answered and dropped her cigarette to the ground. She stood in front of Frank and looked straight into his eyes, than she stepped forward and placed a small kiss on Frank’s lips. “But you could come with me? My parents are not home.” she suggested to Frank who seemed to be somewhere else. “Frankie?”
“Um… yeah. What?” Frank looked at Gee.
“You’re blushing… how cute. Do you wanna come with me or not?” Gee tilted her head on the side.
“Oh… yeah. I… sure, why not.” Frank blushed even harder with Gee’s announcement and his own stumbling with the words. Gee took his hand and leaded him to an old red pickup on the driveway. She opened the passenger side door to Frank and Frank climbed in. He was a bit embarrassed, cause hey: it was a girl who opened the door to him.
Gee walked around the car and sat down to the driver’s seat. Frank started to get anxious and ill, but he didn’t know why, and Gee noticed that after fifteen minutes of driving.
“Are you okay?” she asked and turned her face to see Frank. Frank nodded and turned to look out of the window. “Are you sure, cause I can drive off and you can go out.” Gee placed her hand on Frank’s knee. Frank turned to face her and suddenly Gerard didn’t look like a girl at all. She looked like a boy, or a young man, not that sweet teenage girl she looked like before. Frank felt how he was about to vomit if he couldn’t get out and he asked if Gee could drive off the road. Gee did so and Frank stumbled out. He dropped on his knees and emptied the contents of his stomach. He felt how Gee held his hair back as he vomited and the other of Gee’s hands was stroking his back softly.
“Are you alright Frank?” she sounded also different. She sounded the same as she looked like: a young, worried man.
“Um… yeah. I’m so sorry.“ Frank sighed and closed his eyes. Gee helped him to stand up and hugged him tightly. Frank pressed closer and realized that there was one reason more: she didn’t have boobs. Gee gave Frank a bottle of water and Frank washed his mouth. After a while of cuddling Gee asked quietly:
“Can I kiss you Frankie?”
Frank didn’t answer, just got up on his toes and pressed his lips lightly to Gee’s.
“Can I ask you something?” Frank said as he pulled back to look into Gee’s eyes.
“Anything you want.” Gee answered and smiled warmly.
“Are you a boy or a girl? You look like a girl and then all of a sudden you don’t and… uh... I’m confused.” Frank tilted his head back so he could see Gerard better.
“I am a boy, you silly.” Gee laughed and lowered his head so he could kiss Frank’s lips.
“I thought so too. You kiss like a man.” Frank smiled and wrapped his arms around Gee’s neck so he could pull Gee down and kiss him. Gerard just laughed lightly and kissed the small boy in his arms.
THE END
