Janto- Ianto's Point of View – 51st Century Pheremones
"Ianto, you're going to be late for school! First day of grade eleven, get going!" My mum shouted from across the kitchen.
"I'm seventeen, mum! I'm buying my own flat today, I don't need you bossing me!" My mum looked at me with a sad look on her face.
"Oh, stop it now, Ianto. You aren't that grown up! Yes, you're getting your own flat, but I'm still your mum!" she said.
"Yes, yes, I'm off! Bye!" I gave her a swift kiss on the cheeck and headed out the door. I hopped into my car and drove off towards my highschool. As I was driving, I saw a pretty girl with black hair, and I slowed down. She caught my eye and gave me a flirty wink. I drove up to the side of the road and rolled down my window.
"Gwen! Haven't seen you in a while, have I?" I called.
Gwen giggled. "So, are you gonna give me a ride, or what?"
"Anytime. Just wait 'till after school." I suggested with a wink.
"Ha ha, very funny. Yes, Rhys and I are doing just fine without you in my bed!" She responded. I laughed.
"Go on then, get in the car." I said. "So, where's Rhys? Shouldn't he be driving you?" I asked as Gwen got in the car.
"He's in the Bahamas with his mum and dad. For a month! Can you believe it? Right before school too! Left yesterday." I looked at her.
"The lucky sod! How'd he manage to pull that one off?"
Gwen shrugged. "No clue. Hey, look where we are. I dunno, I think I'll get lost here." I looked to my left to see our school, the place where I'd spent the last two years of my life. I parked in the lot and got out of the car. I walked to the other side and opened the door for Gwen.
"Your Majesty." I said as she got out of the car. Gwen giggled.
"What the gentleman. Get going, you daft sod!" Gwen and I started around the corner by the doors and I dived back, clamping my hand around Gwen's mouth. She looked at me as if I were some kind of animal. I slowly took my hand from her mouth and put a finger to my lips, gesturing to be quiet. I peeked around the corner, and just as I suspected, saw my friends Tosh and Owen holding hands.
"Look." I whispered into Gwen's ear. We both peered around the corner just in time to see Owen lean forwards and kiss Tosh. We immediately shrunk back, laughing into our sleeves. We peeked around again to find two pairs of eyes an inch away from our own. I screamed, sending Owen and Tosh into a fit of laughter. Gwen was holding her chest as if her heart were trying to seep out, eyes wide.
"We saw you drive up." Owen said, still laughing.
"I can't believe you fell for that fake snog!" Tosh giggled.
"Christ, you almost gave me a heart attack!" Gwen gasped, beginning to smile.
"Yeah, and we revealed Ianto's true feminine side!" Owen snorted. The three burst into laughter while I blushed.
"Ha ha. You're hilarious." I said dryly.
"Yeah, next thing we know, Ianto'll be taking it up the ass!" Owen continued.
"Who's taking it up the ass?" Came a silky voice from behind me."I'm Jack. Jack Harkness." Said the stranger. "I'm new here, grade eleven. Thought I may as well fit into a crowd before no one will have me." He said with a grin.
"I'm Ianto Jones." I introduced myself. "This is Gwen Cooper, Toshiko Sato, and Vera Smartass." I gestured to Owen at the last name.
"Yeah, that's Owen Harper, thanks." Owen corrected me.
"So, I guess you're the funny one then, Ianto." Jack chuckled.
Owen snorted. "Ianto? The funny one? Yeah, right."
Jack looked at me. "Seems like it."
I sniffed. "Hey, what's that smell? Something smells good. Is it you?" I returned Jack's stare.
"I guess so." Jack flashed me a smile.
"Must be after-shave." I commented.
"Don't wear any." He replied.
"You smell like that naturally?" I gasped, shocked.
"It's a little thing I like to call 51st century pheremones." He winked.
Whoah, is this guy after me or what? I thought. The others didn't seem to notice, they were laughing along with Jack. "So, I'm having a flat warming tonight. Well, not exactly, I was kindof hoping you lot could help me move, then just chill in my flat." I suggested.
"You're getting a flat? Well done!" Gwen congratulated.
"So that's two of us now." Tosh commented.
"Who else has a flat?" Jack questioned.
"Yeah, that'd be me." Owen answered. "Have you got one?"
"Yep." Jack replied.
"Well, that's three of us then." Tosh said with a warm smile.
"Thanks, Toshiko." Jack replied with an equally warm smile.
"Call me Tosh." She said.
"Sure thing, Tosh." He sure has a way with people. It already feels like we've known him for years! I thought.
"So, do you want to come too?" I turned to Jack.
"You sure? We've only just met, I wouldn't want to intrude." He sounded surprised.
Why am I feeling dissapointed? "Oh, if you don't want to, that's fine." I sounded sincere.
"You really want me to? I thought you were just being polite. Where and when?" I felt a bit better.
"At about five-ish, my house is 239 Barrowman street right now, we'll start there and just follow me from then."
"Alright, sounds like a plan." Jack smiled. "I'll see you lot later." He walked off, trenchcoat fluttering behind him.
"Now he is one fine guy!" Tosh exclaimed.
"Now, Tosh, I wouldn't waste my time. I think he's bender," Owen said. "He was eyeing Ianto like he was a piece of meat!" Owen continued. I flushed angrily.
"He was not! He's just a normal bloke." I retorted. So I'm not the only one who noticed… "So, I guess I'll see you all in class, or later." I said, as I walked away towards the doors to go inside and find my new locker.
