School Bus, Goblin King, and I
By: mystcgrl99
Sighing, I look out the bus window at the drizzly gray sky. "Jareth, leave me alone. I am so not in the mood."
I turn to glare at the good-looking guy who just tapped me on the shoulder. I still can't believe he's real. The Goblin King smirks at me and sits in the seat opposite me and keeps on staring at me.
"Jareth, you are aware that Halloween isn't until next week, aren't you? I mean, the girls may enjoy looking at you in tights, but it still makes you look gay, especially with the eyeliner," Joe, who is sitting behind the now pissed off Jareth, starts to shrink back from the Goblin King. "You know, I had a lot of sugar for breakfast this morning, and anything I say, I might not really mean it, but you really do look gay. Ok, I'll shut up now."
I can't help but laugh at Joe; he just has this wonderful way of sticking his foot in his mouth. I think the only reason that Jareth hasn't sent him to the Bog Of Eternal Stench for all the things he's said is because he's my friend. And besides, then we'd all have to put up with a smelly Joe, and everyone on the bus would make Jareth pay.
"Joe, you really should lay off him, he has a hard enough time adjusting to high school life as it is, *giggle*. But Jareth, please put something else on, Joe's right, you do look gay."
Grumbling, Jareth made a crystal appear and a second later he was clothed in typical teenage garb. Ratty jeans, wrinkled T-shirt, and Nike tennis shoes. No eyeliner.
"Wow! I want one of those crystals! Maybe I could use it to get more people to sell their souls to me. Speaking of souls, I'll give you a quarter for your soul Jareth." "AMANDA!" "What? I'm only trying to do business here. How much do you think I could get for a Goblin King's soul on E-Bay?"
Everyone in earshot who knows about Amanda's soul thing, is now laughing their asses off, including me. Jareth just looks confused. "Don't worry about it Jareth, we'll tell you at lunch. Joe, you look confused." "Why is Jareth here anyways?" "Because he decided to send a note to the school saying that he is a "special friend" of mine, *cough, cough, not*. And now I have to put up with him following me around all day."
"Ohhhh. Haha, sucks to be you!" I glare at Joe for that comment. "Joe, just because Amanda and I saved your ass from his royal tightness here, doesn't mean we won't inflict damage ourselves. It's just no one else is allowed to."
Amanda gives me a look, "Well it does suck. I'm just glad Jareth decided to annoy you instead of me." Jareth looks at Amanda and gives her an evil grin. "That could be changed you know." "You wouldn't dare!" Amanda screams. Pulling a crystal from somewhere (where do they come from anyway?), Jareth gives us all his best smile, his eyebrow arched. "Oh wouldn't I? This crystal will make the school think it's you I'm supposed to be with instead of Jordan." "Ok, ok, what do you want? I'll try to be nice, I swear!"
Damn, I was hoping to get out of this. Oh well, at least he put jeans on. And he is kinda cute. No! Stop thinking that. Stop thinking that. Think of Lance, Brad Pitt, or Antonio Benderaz. Just not Jareth. Ohh, who's that? "Hey, Amanda cute guy in nice car. He kinda looks like Antonio." "No he doesn't. He doesn't have the hair. Besides, Antonio is much better looking than that guy."
"Amanda's right, Antonio has gorgeous hair. When they where making Interview with a Vampire, he wished Tom Cruise away, you would not believe how beautiful his eyes are up close. But he got pissed when I tried to dance with him. What? Why are you looking at me like that?" "Um, Jareth, was Joe right? Are you gay?" Ok, this is somewhat freaky. A possibly gay Goblin King. Ewww, gross.
"I plead the Fifth!" "Jareth, you're not an American, so it doesn't apply to you, now answer my damn question!" "Ok, I'll tell you, *deep breath from Jareth*, I'm a gay. Happy? I said it. I, Jareth, the Goblin King, am gay." "Cool, dude, now you can watch Antonio (hair shake from Amanda, last name said in sexy voice) Benderaz movies with Jessica and I!" "Who?" "You'll meet her at lunch, and Amanda, lay off Antonio. But for now we need to get off the bus. Oh damn, I just realized I'm going to have to put up with you for four periods before lunch. Someone please, shoot me now.
Standing up and putting his backpack on, Joe says, "Damn, I left my shot gun at home. I'll try to remember it tomorrow, oh well, sucks to be you. Bye!" Sighing, I stop watching Joe race down the sidewalk and turn to my newly out-of-the-closet-gay guest.
"Come on Jareth, let's get to strings." Oh hell, this is going to be a long day.
