((Hahaha!! Finally! Another Chapter! Thanks to all of my reviewers a bunch!
Here we go, then... Oh yeah. This chapter is probably gonna stink because I
am trying to overcome writer's block but it is not working... yeah...))
Disclaimer: I claim that this disclaimer hereby claims that each furthermore chapter is disclaimed by claiming: I do not own anyone/anything/any part of this story, yada yada yada!!! (and for those of you who are easily confused, like me, that means that from now on I still do not own anyone/anything/any part of this story...)
Chapter Three: Bus Ride Home
((A/N: Has anybody ever noticed that Freddy and Katie always walk home together? I'm guilty of it myself, and now I'm putting a stop to it! ... At least in my world ...))
The band just finished rocking out to The Ramones' California Sun, and were all putting away their guitars, unplugging their keyboards, storing their drum sticks, and so on and so forth.
"Man, I can't wait until we get cars next year!" Zack exclaimed as Freddy, Zack, Katie, Lawrence, and Summer made their way down the apartment complex's staircase.
"I hear ya, dude, I hear ya." Freddy grumbled.
"Why are you complaining, Spazzy? You get to ride home on the bus with me." Katie stuck her tongue out at him as the other's disappeared into parents' cars or car pools.
"That's exactly why I'm complaining. Now hurry up, or we'll miss the 7 o'clock." He stuck his tongue back. As he and Katie silently walked home, Katie couldn't help but shake her head in disbelief knowing that that same tongue had been in her mouth two nights ago. She shuddered at the horror of it... Ugh...
"Almost missed me," The female bus driver, Bess, grinned as the two placed their tokens in the slot and headed onto the back of the same bus they had ridden home for the past five years. There were the usuals; Jack- the dirty, smelly, yet kind homeless man who always got roof over his head when he rode the bus. There were Toni and Antoinette- twin theatre artists who always took the 7 o'clock home. They were mimes, so they didn't talk much. There was Mr. Bates, an elderly man who ran a llama farm a ways out of town. And of course there were a few more. It wasn't the regulars that bugged Katie and Freddy on the bus. It was the arrogant people who were mad because their car was broken down or they missed their ride and they're stuck on the bus.
As Katie and Freddy made their way to the last seat- practically reserved for them every time- they got looks of scorn from woman and children, other teenage girls and boys, business men, and the others.
"Oh my God..." A girl in a totally pink outfit gazed at them in a Valley-girl accent to her other friend who was totally in pink, too. ((A/N- I have nothing against people who wear all pink unless they have something against me... And I hate stereotyping people, so take no offense from this and if you do I am sorry...)) "Look what the Goths dragged in..."
Katie looked down at her outfit. She was wearing a comfy pair of khaki cargo pants, and a Beetles t-shirt. Freddy was in a black AC/DC shirt and similar shorts. What was Goth about them?
"Yeah, look, Miss Preppy Prepperson. It's called "punk" and if you have a problem with it, keep it to yourself and save yourself the embarrassment." Freddy told them snidely. The girls gasped and turned back around, whispering in their seats.
"Thank you!" Katie exclaimed exhaustedly. Telling off annoying people was probably one thing she and Freddy could agree on.
"Not a problem. We sound really good on Back in Black, don't we?" Freddy turned his attention to Katie.
"Really? I thought we needed to work on it a bit..."
"What?! Are you crazy?! We rock on that! Well, maybe at least I rock on that..."
"What a conceited brat!"
"Why thank you, Posh!"
"Idiot."
"Jerk."
"Moron."
"You didn't seem to think I was a moron two nights ago..."
Katie's heart stopped as she looked at his grinning face. WHY did he have to bring that up?!
"Yeah, actually, I did. That's why I took pity on you and let you kiss me."
"Yeah right! You practically dragged me out of the room!"
"Tch! Sure..."
"I am sure!"
"Well don't be."
"Too late."
"Jones- you are truly a character, you know that?"
"At least I'm not a not-character."
"I give up!"
"Haha! I win!"
"Wait- since when were we trying to win?"
"Since forever. And you just gave up! Haha!"
"I take it back!"
"Too late! I am Freddy Jones- conqueror of Katie Brown! Muahaha!"
"Fine! See if I care. I'll remember this, you know... Anyway, what did ya win, huh?!"
"I won... hmm... I'm still thinking of what I won, but when I tell you it will be good."
"Don't count on it."
"I won't. I hate math. I'll just depend on it."
"Finally! Here's our stop. Come on, McGee, let's GO!"
The two made their way to the front, getting more stares from the two girls, and waving to Toni and Antoinette- who were doing an awesome box impression.
They stepped out onto the corner of their neighborhood development and began to head towards their own home.
"Think of anything yet, Spazzy?!" Katie called to him before she entered her doorway. Freddy- who was about to enter his own across the street, paused under the porch light for a moment.
"Yeah! Hang on!" Katie watched in amazement as he jogged across to her.
"I, Freddy Jones, conqueror of Katie Brown, now win the more pleasurefull chance of doing this..."
And with that, Freddy leaned in, planted a quick kiss on her mouth, and jogged back over- leaving Katie dumbfounded at her doorway. ((Okay. Definitely not a plot chapter. It was more of an "I knew this was coming" chapter, but oh well. The next one will be better, I promise.))
