Not So Bulletproof Hearts
Missed the bus
(Kat's POV)
I was suddenly awoken by a loud knocking at my door. Rubbing my eyes I rolled over and groaned. I squinted as I read the time on my phone. 6:31am? Far too early if you ask me, but oh well duties must. So I pulled myself out of bed and down the hall to the bathroom, I turned on the shower and the icy cold water dripped down my body. Obviously dad hadn’t fixed the plumbing yet.
After a 5 minute shower from hell I headed back to my room to put my uniform on. Standing in front of the mirror adjusting my tie I began to study myself in great detail. I had long blonde hair, with my under layers dip dyed black and pink highlights. My long fringe swept over my oval face just above my dark forest green eyes. Standing at around 5ft 3 I was a decent height for an 18 year old. I was quite big busted to the point where looking directly down to see my feet was no longer an option. My plaid skirt hugged to my thighs, they weren’t small either, landing me the nickname “thunder thighs” from my middle school friends.
I ran downstairs and raced towards the door. I hadn’t realised the time and I in danger of missing my bus. I managed to sprint down our garden path just in time to see the bus drive past. “Now you’ve done it Kat…” once again my conscience was screaming at me. What do I do now? I can’t get a lift from my parents, they’re at work now. I sudden idea popped into my head. Maybe Frank could take me? I delved into my pocket to grab my phone. I dialled Frank’s number and hit ‘call’.
“Hello…?”
“Umm, Hey Frank, Its Kat.”
“Oh hey, what’s up?”
“well. I have a dilemma. I kind of missed my bus, my parents are out and I have no way of getting to school. Help me?”
“I can pick you up on my way, I pass your house anyway so it’s no trouble.”
“Aw. Thanks.”
“No problem, Kat. I’ll be round in 10 minutes okay? See ya.”
“Alright then. See ya. “
He hung up and I took a sigh of relief. Well. That went better than expected.
A while after Frank pulled up in his car waving at me and smiling. “Get in. we don’t wanna be late!” I giggled, impressed by his enthusiasm this early in the morning. I hopped in the passenger seat and leaned in the back of the car to put my bag down. As I turned back I caught him looking at me, he quickly turned back and chewed his lip ring nervously. Was he checking out my ass? I think he was! I felt the confidence building inside me; I raised my eye brow and smirked at him seductively. “Wow.” He stared at me, impressed. “W…what? “ Shy, nervous Kat came back to let me deal with the consequences. “Nothing.” Frank laughed and swung his head back slightly. “Are you ready to go?” I nodded sheepishly and he pulled off down the street.
We didn’t say anything for most of the journey to school, it wasn’t awkward as such but I think he felt bad for checking me out earlier. “Is it okay if I put the radio on?” Frank reached for the radio and turned the dial with my consent, after a while of searching through the channels he gave up, leaving it on static. There was nothing but the sound of our breathing and the odd crackle from the radio as twisted and turned through the country lanes.
We arrived at school moments later; I grabbed my bag and got out. Frank came around to my side of the car and leaned against it. “Thanks for driving me here.” I clutched my bag nervously and bit my lip. “That’s okay.” He said, smiling and once again biting at his lip ring. “I guess I’ll see you later then.”
I turned to walk away when I felt a firm grasp on my wrist. “Wait!” Frank swung me round and grabbed me by my waist. I froze instantly. His hand was shaking as he came to meet my face. He glided his fingers across my jaw bone and gently pulled down my bottom lip with his thumb. I was in a trance now, under his spell. He could do what he wanted, I couldn’t move. Sliding his hand behind my head and through my hair he crashed his lips onto mine.
My body felt so alive, like his touch was electric. I bought up my hands and embraced his face, I held him close, wanting the moment to last forever.
“Why the hell are you kissing that hideous bitch when you could have me Frankie?” My ears where burning. Who said that!? More importantly she just ruined mine and Franks first kiss. He pulled away and looked over my shoulder. “Shiloh, I’ve told you before, I’m not interested! Can you just take my answer and leave me alone for once?” I felt his grip on my waist tighten, protecting me from harm. “That’s not how I work Frankie, you should know that by now. What about Gerard’s party? You seemed interested then.” What was going on? Who is Gerard?
“That was months ago, and you know I was drunk! That night was a mistake and it will never happen again.” Frank let go of me and I turned around to confront the girl, she was considerably tall, with long brown hair. She was extremely flat chested but with a nose like, well, it was more of a beak than a nose really. “I’m guessing you’re new! Watch your step newbie, it would be a shame if anything bad happened in your first week.” Shiloh brutally grabbed my hair forcing my head back. I screamed in pain.
“Don’t you touch her!” Frank shouted at Shiloh aggressively, to say he was only 5ft 4 he could be quite intimidating. The look of fear ran through her eyes, she let go, scowling at us both. “I’ll see you both later.” I fell to my knees and watched as a clump of black hair slipped off my shoulder. “Are you okay, Angel?” Frank dropped to his knees looking worried. Angel? He’s never called me angel before…
