Part 1:
I’ve known Andy Biersack since forever. He was the kid next door, my best mate, my brother. We grew up together and went trough anything. He had always been there for me and vice versa. It was never easy for us around the other kids because we were the weird ones, those who never fit. As little ones we always preferred to play alone, we even used signs so that the others wouldn’t know what we were talking about. When we grew up a bit we started listening to rock bands and wore clothes which didn’t offer us better chances in the social life. Things didn’t develop much different from that in high school until senior year.
But then I met Evan Scott.
He was one of the popular guys, diabolically handsome, with green eyes, bright brown hair and amazing smile. I’ve only seen him at lunch or in the middle of the hallway , been admiring him for a second or two but nothing more. I mean, who am I kidding,that hottie will never ever even glance at me. Andy, another beautiful creature,just like Evan, with the brightest eyes I have ever seen,with his deep voice and brilliant smile , was just as lucky as I was with the opposite gender. It was understandable why I’ve never had a boyfriend,with that pale skin of mine and boring brown eyes, but so not the same thing could be said about him. I’ve seen loads of girls checking him out because of how hot he was but none of them even tried to do something about it just because he was an outsider. Selfishly that fact makes me a bit happy because I really don’t want to share him with anybody. It was also a relief that he wasn’t looking for a girlfriend anyway.
Andy and I hate chemistry... a lot! Unfortunately I didn’t manage to escape it like Andy did. That day he was rubbing it in my face during lunch, in breaks and even decided to make a little bit more fun of me with escorting me to the chem lab. I was frustrated.
- And don’t forget, darling, have loads of fun, yano, because chemistry is all about that,haha! - said Andy for like millionth time this day. I left rolling my eyes and then entered the room. I immediately froze when a pair of green eyes stopped on me. Evan Scott in my chemistry class? For real?! I came back to reality when i heard a voice coming from the middle of the room. It was the chemistry teacher asking me about my name.
- M..Mackenzie.
- Mackenzie who?
- Fray, Mackenzie Fray, I’m sorry - I did indeed completely froze.
- Alright, Mackenzie, take a seat and lets get started. - said the teacher. I did my best to get to the table at the back without falling. Evan was talking to some guy next to him and smiled widely. That smile made my heart flutter. He looked at me again before i took my seat a few seats behind him. And that is all I can remember from my chemistry class. My chem teacher asked me a few questions which I couldn’t answer but then Evan did. Oh, so he is not just a beautiful shell. He is smart. That did impress me.
In the break , as usual , I was waiting for Andy to come in front of the room so that we can listen to some music and imagine our future, Andy being a great rock star and me being his manager/best friend. But Andy was late now. That annoyed me a bit so to punish him I decided to listen music on my own and draw something on the cover of my notebook. Shadow that appeared made me look up,thinking that it is Andy’s.
-Next time you can at least try to be at time, you little sh ... Oh! - It wasn’t Andy the one who i was talking to. It was Evan.
-I’m sorry, I took you for someone else - I said.
-For your boyfriend I guess?- those were the first words Evan said to me.
-Yeah ...no, NO! He is not my boyfriend, Andy is my best friend. But yeah, I thought it was him.
-Not your boyfriend,huh? Good to hear. I’m Evan by the way.
-I’m..
-Mackenzie Fray, heard already.-said Evan.
- Ah yeah, you did.
He smiled at me , so widely that his eyes got a bit more brighter
- Anyway - he continued - I just wanted to tell you that if you ever need some help with chemistry I’m here for you.
My jaw hit the floor. Evan Scott offered to help me with chemistry? Cannot be real.Then I heard a voice, the most familiar voice in the whole universe. Andy.
-Mac?-said Andy
-Oh,Andrew - I looked at him, his eyes were wide opened, one eyebrow raised . He was definitely unhappy with what he just saw.
- You coming?
- Yes, of course - I responded.
-Alright then, Fray - it was Evan, smiling - if you need me you will find me,right?
- I will - that was all I said , trying to smile without crashing and then i left the room with Andy, finally being able to breathe.
- What was that? - Andy asked me.
- What was what?
- Evan Scott flirting with you.
-He wasn’t flirting with me! - i was shocked that Andy used that word.
- Oh, he defo was ! I don’t like this guy, he is a cock.
Andy was unhappy,I was able to see it in his eyes, which now were dark blue. That color suited him actually. For a moment I lost myself in that look just like half of the girls which we passed by in the hallway, but then I reminded to myself-he is your best friend, those eyes will never give you a look different than the one you always get.
