Chapter 23

Franks pov

"Fraaannkkkk." My mums voice called me. "Hurry up or you'll be late for school!" She shouted.

I stopped brushing my teeth "Mm be thrr in a mnit!" I mumbled as my tooth brush hung out of my mouth and white foam dribbled out slightly.

I quickly finished up brushing my teeth and rinsed my mouth out, spitting the gross contents into the little sink and drying my mouth on the wash cloth being sure not to get my lip ring stuck in a loose thread.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror in front of me. I scrunched up my nose and pressed my lips together, tilting my head as a got an over all look at my hair.
I was attempting to try and look attractive today, well, as attractive as one can look in a stupid school uniform.
I was kind of hoping that Gerard was going to be teaching my religious class today. But father Ross has probably come back to take over again. I'm still confused as to why Gerard was even allowed to teach the class, he does not strike me as priest material...although he does look rather nice in that tight black uniform.

I smoothed down my school tie and rushed out of the bathroom and grabbed my school backpack; rushing to mum before she could call my name again.

I ran out the door and jumped into the car, and she drove me off to my prison-like school.

Once mum parked out of the front of school I climbed out of the car to see Ray walking over to us.

He smiled and waved at me, so I gave him a wave back, only to realise he was actually smiling at my mum. I frowned and cringed inside.
"Okay by mum." I said quickly as I tapped the outside of the car hoping she'd quickly drive away before Ray could start conversation with her. I was definitely not in the mood for standing around and trying to endure hearing him flirting with her.

"Morning Ray." She smiled as she twinkled her fingers in a little wave at him. I rolled my eyes. Oh lord here we go.
"Look at you wearing your school uniform correctly, it's a struggle to even get frank to put on his uniform." She laughed. Ray saw this as an invitation to converse and get in a few point for himself in mums good books.

He blushed a little as he stepped closer to my car.
"Ah yes, well frank can be a little rebel sometimes. But how are you this morning mrs.iero?" He said as he leant over the car at my mums window.
Woah great friend-move there ray, dissing your friend for their mum.

I shuddered and took my chance to escape. I went to hurry away into the school when I overheard mum say something that made me stop.

"I'm quite well. Oh! Are those police cars parked over there?"

"Yep. I normally get here early to do choir practice, and a couple of Police men where walking down the halls of the school. Maybe they're doing some school talk or something." Ray informed mum as he chatted away casually.

I froze in my tracks.

Police cars?

"How interesting." Mum said as she looked at the police cars questionably.

My mind flashed with vivid images of the lifeless body of the janitor. Replaying the sounds of it falling into that dumpster. My thoughts drowned out the conversation mum and ray where having.

"Well fuck!" I accidentally yelled out aloud as I placed a hand on my hip.
Ray and mum looked at me with puzzled faces.

"Watch your language!" Mum snapped as she turned her attention back to ray to apologised to him for my 'tendency to voice sinful profanities'.

"Sorry sorry." I said quickly as I stuck my hands up in defence. I didn't actually care though. I'm pretty sure I've done more sinful things than swearing. Things that I should probably be taking care of right now.
