********************************************************************************************

Patrick awoke the next morning by a someone shaking him.

upon waking, Patrick buried himself in  the slightly uncomfortable sheets of his bed. He rubbed the remaining sleep from his eye as he noticed that the shaking had not subsided.

he subconsciously swatted the hand away. He closed his eyes and tried to go back to sleep.

"if you arn't up in three seconds..." A voice said, threateningly.

Patrick ignored him and drifted off into dream land. Well... almost.

A large object was once again collided with his side. Patrick instantly shot up, almost falling off the bed in the process.

Once he regained balance, His eyes shot open and he saw an unfamiliar face looking back at him.

A boy around his age with short bleach blonde hair and brown roots. He had beautiful whiskey eyes and an irresistible smile showing off his pearly white teeth.

That must've been Pete.

He was standing next to Patrick. wearing the same blank clothes as everyone else. boring!

"what the heck was that for?" Patrick asked, getting out of bed and rubbing his head. 

" if I didn't wake you up, they would. and You wouldn't like their method" Pete warned, sitting on his bed and resting his elbows on his knees and his head on his palms.

" I don't like your  method!" Patrick yelled. Pete shrugged.

He started to make up his bed and take his clothes into the small bathroom that was in the shared room.

He changed into the white (slightly uncomfortable) clothes.

They were a little big on him, but he would grow into them. He noticed the little grey and orange striped bracelet in the pocket.

He slipped it on and admired it. It was ugly, but it worked.

What were the colors for? he wondered.

Patrick opened the door, but Pete was gone. He didn't worry about it though. He walked out of the room and headed to the cafeteria.

Everywhere you looked were people yelling and talking. some even play fighting.

Patrick decided not to eat sine the breakfast alone was over 1447 calories and he never went over triple digits.

He sat down at an empty table, away from all the other chaos.

Not long after, a bubbly red head skip up to him and sat down on the other side of the table.

He had bright Hazel eyes and a smile that showed small stubby teeth.

" hey! I'm Gerard. You're new right?" He asked, straightening his white jacket that Patrick didn't even know they were allowed to have.

" Hey. Yeah. I'm new. My name is Patrick" Patrick said, shyly.

" aw, you're so cute! come sit with us" Gerard said, standing up and linking arms with him.

They walked to another table across the cafeteria. A bunch of wild teenagers sat there.

" Fresh meat motherfuckers!" Gerard said, sitting down and placing Patrick down and sitting across from him.

" damn gee. you just met the guy, chill out" A boy with glasses and black hair said. Gerard just flipped him off.

Patrick moved over a little, too surrounded by chaos. He looked over to the other table.

There was Pete!

He was sitting with a guy with a large forehead and glasses and girl with curly half blonde half black hair. She  had a large gap between her two front teeth.

They looked so happy

" what ya starin' at Pat?" Gerard asked, smoothing out the boy's hair.

"don't call me pat" Patrick almost yelled.

It was never okay for anyone to call him Pat.

It's just common knowledge.

"okay, whatever"

Patrick just started into space for a minute before someone called to him.

" so, what's your name anyway?" A girl with dark blue hair asked. She had dead looking eyes but kept a smile.

" Patrick. What about you guys? and how old are you? I'm 15 going on 16" He asked, really wishing he had something to do in the meantime

" I'm Mikey. Just Mikey. not Marci. don't listen to what they say, I am not a girl! I'm 14"

"well you already know me. I'm 16" Gerard said.

" I'm Dallon. 16." a boy with perfect brown hair said from the other side of the table. He had a large smile and bright brown eyes.

" I'm Ryan and I am 15." a boy with an emo fringe  and black eyeliner said. He had a rose in his hair and was staring at the boy next to Pete.

" I'm Joe and I am 16 and enjoy fucking guys-"

" I'M ANDY! WE ARE BOTH 16!!" a boy with long hair and glasses yelled.

Patrick giggled at the sudden outburst. He had finally found someone as innocent as him.

Mikey rolled his eyes and re-adjusted his glasses.

" I am Josh and I am 16." The boy had crimson hair and a bright smile.

The boy next to him growled and hid his face in Josh's chest. He locked eyes with Patrick and hissed at him.

Patrick jumped back, fearful that this guy would attack him. People were really scaring the living crap out of him.

"don't worry about them. they're generally harmless. they just don't like new people" Josh said, stroking the boy's head.

" bullshit! they've known me for years and they tried to attack me!" the girl with blue hair responded.

"shut up Billie! they were still trying to get used to you" Josh defended, trying to calm himself.

" IT WAS YESTERDAY " Billie yelled. Patrick laughed openly, just like everyone else.

" their name is blurry right now and they go by they/them. But when they are Tyler, they go by he/him both are 16" Josh explained. Patrick nodded, assuming that 'blurry' had D. I. D
(I fixed it, happy now?!)

" I am Spencer and  this is Billie. This is already taking forever and the author's hands are getting tired. we are both 16 and I go by he/him. Billie goes by she/her."

the guy with long-ish brown hair and brown eyes said, pointing to Billie

patrick nodded and smiled at all the new friends he had made on the first day.

"so, Patrick who's your roommate. everyone has one" Ryan asked. Moving his hair out of his eye.

" I don't really know him. His name is Pete. I don't know his last name though" Patrick shrugged and stared off into space.

Everyone perked up, especially Mikey, who rolled his eyes afterword's.

"pete wentz" They all said simultaneously. Mikey groaned and pretended to gag.

" Damn Mikes, you want some pretzels with all that salt?" Joe asked, earning him a glare from Mikey.

"fuck off. It's all history" Mikey groaned, continuing to eat.

Just then, a girl with a ponytail and stained red lips walked over to the group.  she sat down on the table directly in front of Patrick.

She flipped her hair and crossed her exposed legs while pushing her already short skirt up.

"hello, Catherine. what brings your annoying ass here?" Mikey groaned. already done with everyone's shit for the day.

The girl only flipped him off and focused back on Patrick.

" I've never seen you around here sugar" she said in her sickly sweet voice that was trying too hard.

Patrick looked up and stuttered out a response.

" I- I'm new. Who a-are you?"

Catherine laughed and threw her head back to where her long blonde hair fell on Mikey. who sputtered and waved it away.

" catherine. but you can call me anything you want" she said, sliding off the table and next to Patrick. He shifted over a bit and got overly uncomfortable.

" Hey bitch! go away!" spencer yelled, Throwing a piece of egg at her. Dallon fist bumped him afterwards.

She shrieked and started waving her hands around. " you ass! you fucking ass! I'll get you"

Mikey groaned yet again. He was really getting fed up with today. Gerard noticed this and put a comforting arm around his brother. Mikey looked up at him and leaned into the hug.

Patrick smiled at the adorable brotherly love.

" are you okay, Marci?" Catherine asked, laughing afterwards.

Mikey turned red and the entire table was in shock.

" that's not his name" Patrick said, pushing Catherine away from him.

She gasped dramatically.  "Patrick! she is a girl and only a girl. She just wants to be edgy, don't pay attention to this nonsense." she said with a sickly scowl on her face.

Patrick's jaw drops. Catherine not only misgendered Mikey, but told him to do it as well.

" listen here you mythic bitch. I am'a boy no matter what you say! Nobody want's you here you whore! you get into someone's pants and leave Patrick alone!" Mikey exclaimed.

Catherine scoffed and strutted away. But not before giving everyone a good amount of side eye.

Gerard turned to Mikey and held his hands. " I have taught you well young grasshopper"

Everyone shared a laugh. Even Pete, and his friends Who, Patrick have learned are named Melanie and Brendon- Laughed at the frustrated Catherine.

Maybe this will work. Patrick thought to himself
