i want to be me not your puppet

chapter 10. is that really you?

"about an hour maybe...your going to be late for your bus"he points to the clock before taking a sip of his coffee. i turn round rushing to the door.

"bye dad and get some sleep!"i call over my shoulder running out.

i got to the stop just in time for the bus. there were some other people there to who i assumed were going to the same school. i sat down close to the back sticking my earphones in listening to nicki minaj super bass. when the bus stopped another bunch of people got on. a girl dressed in a short skirt and white top with a purple tie sat beside me she looked about my age it was hard to tell with all the make up she had on she looked like a orange or as colt would have said 'she's been tango'd' i couldnt help the chuckle slipping out making the girl look at me funny before she got up and moved. 'woops' colt always said things like that and make me laugh. i really missed her. i needed her. and i had no idea how i was going to survive today without her

i stared out the window the bus stopping several times but just as the bus drove off again someone pulled my earphones out my ear making me snap my head to look at them.

"what the fuck i was listening to that"i snap at the girl.

"chill dude...im jade but you can call me jay"the girl say's bouncing in her seat

"alex"i say before turning to stare out the window.

"so your new right? what year are you in?"jay keeps talking to me

"yeah im in 4th year"i answer bluntly without looking at her.

"cool same year as me we should hang out i could be like your little tour guide person"

"look"i snap back looking at her"im not really a people person and i prefer to be on my own so stop talking and get any ideas of us being friends out that pretty little head of yours before i beat them out"i say coldly glaring at her.

"ouch...kittys got claws. nice act but i've put up with bigger and better bitches than you so try again my little gay friend"jay pats my head smiling.

"im not gay"i snap but her look tells me she's not buying it. "fine im gay you got a problem with that?!"i snap at her again

"nope...hey maybe we can hook up after school or how about right now? it'd be kind of kinky with all these people here"jay winked at me.

"no...never actually."i answer looking back out the window. her words reminded me of colt in a funny way it was something i'd expect colt to say.

"oh heartbreak...sucks right maybe we can just be friends then?"jays mood suddenly calms down.

"fine but you seriously need to calm down cause your pissing me off already"i smile at her.

"okay...i can do that...maybe...possibly...possibly not."jay smiles back....maybe this move wasnt as bad as i thought it would be.

*five years later!*

"alex babe i think the pipe has burst!"jay screams from the kitchen causing me to run through. to see water spurting out everywhere.

"jesus jay what did you do!"i shout over the water.

"i didnt do anything just call the bloody plumber"jay says standing up her long brown hair soaked. "i'll turn the water off til he gets here" she says walking past me.

"sure you can handle that?" i laugh

"very funny" she shouts back as the water slowly stops i walk through to the living room. "great second week back and everythings breaking already"i mumble to myself.
