So anyway, there he was interacting "on his own terms" with none other than his sister. Hooray. It was a friday evening and someone a.k.a. his sister, who was named Kelsey by the way, had wanted to do something other than sit at home and eat what she called the "dreaded horrifying mundane home-cooked dinner". Also because their parents were not really in the vicinity of the nation, and being unfortunate enough not to possess a maid or butler of sorts, the task of cooking the venerable dinner had fallen to Kelsey. Having a disposition a little more on the lazy side and this uh Joe being unable to cook, naturally the only option was to take a lovely bus ride to the city and get some food there.
Most unfortunately for Joe, the quickest route to the city was by his school, a fact that his Kelsey rather annoying pointed out.
"Isn't it quicker the other way, lets not waste any time, I am Soooooooooo hungry." She said tossing her hair rather delightfully. Not to him of course, she may have beenwhat Oscar Wilde called "an excessively pretty girl who was only just eighteen" but seriously, she was his sister. He rather frowned upon incest, as did society in general.
Her prettiness was apparently evident to all, and they or rather she kept drawing looks from the waves and throngs of leering old men that seemed to have nothing better to do in the estate all the way to the bus stop. And on the bus itself.
They stood naturally, the bus seldom had enough seats to accomodate the waves and throngs of leering old men who were always given moral authority in terms of seating privileges. As they approached the school he felt a sense of trepidation and as the writers liked to put it "impending doom", but what could he do? Scream and run? Rather out of the question in fact.
He knew his intuition was right as the bus pulled into the stop just outside his school. He saw. Ryan. That spastic fool who lacked any form of social discretion. Ryan naturally despite all his lack of scoial grace was rather observant and spotted him through the glass door.
To his eclectic Ryan eye, what he saw was Joe standing in the bus, with a babe. A very hot babe. Who was wearing a pair of tight cute daisy dukes on top of that.
Spotting the rather excited look on Ryan's face, Joe began to get that tingling sensation. Luckily, his sister was in fact facing away from the bus stop door. However that meant that Ryan began flashing a horrible smile and a huge thumbs up his way. As Joe refused to acknowledge the presence of the socially retarded miscreant one meter away from him, Ryan began to jump and wave awkwardly. Ryan suddenly turned and called all the friends at the bus stop, and all Joe could do was wish that the old men filing into bus would just hurry up as he was faced with the sight of about ten people he hated waving and whistling at him.
But his torment was not over, just as the driver decided it was high time that he got moving a seat opened up.
Kelsey tossed her hair back and decided that they move to the seats. Being a "guy" in society he reluctantly let her take the seat next to a rather odd looking boy with a twinkle in his eye. He did not like the look of that...boy especially since he gave Kelsey the customary "up-down" with his eyes. He smiled at him politely, the boy at Joe that is. He decided to glare back, but the boy was rather unpertubed.
At the next stop two leering old men (really they were everywhere) decided that it was time they got down. Leaving two empty seats behind the boy. Kelsey rather skittishly decided to shift to the seat behind, and all but patted the empty space beside her, smiling rather coyly.
The boy's grin could not have been wider, as Joe glared at him again he tilted his head ever so slightly and gave him a slow but purposeful wink.
Great, it was going to be stupid night.
