Tre's Drum Lessons, chapter 1
Hey my name's Danni and I'm going to tell you my story about the drum lesson I recieved from my idol, changed my life...FOREVER!
I recieve my mail and I scramble thru it.
"Shit...Boring...Rubbish...Crap...hang on, whats this?" I ask as I open a green coloured envelope.
"OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! I'VE WON!! I WON!!" I scream at the top of my voice. I start dancing around the house, jumping at the same time. "I WON! I WON! I WON!" I chant very happily.
A few months ago, I entered a competition to win drum lessons with the legendary drummer of Green Day, Tre Cool! I have worshipped him since my friends introduced me to the glory which is Green Day. He is a great drummer, and I look upto him, since I play drums, and have been playing for about a year.
The letter reads:
'CONGRAGULATIONS! You have won a drum lesson with Green Day's very own, Tre Cool! You will be flown to Berkely, California, on the 7th of July, and will stay at the Mansion 5 star hotel, where you will meet Tre Cool. Then, on the 8th, Tre Cool will escort you in his limosine to the studio where Green Day reherse, where he will give you a one hour private drum lesson.
This is a once in a life time opportunity!
Once again, congragulations, and have fun!
Regards,
Gregory Murphy, competition organiser for Green Day.'
I cant wait! Tre Cool, my idol, the dude i look up to, with me, a private drum lesson?!
"Hold on" I said to myself, "If I have to be at the hotel on the 7th, and todays the 5th, that means I only have 2 days to get ready!!" I exclaimed.
"I HAVE TO GET READY!" I rush around, desperately searching for what to wear.
I pull out my clothes from my cupboards, making a huge mess, but I dont care! It's Tre Cool for gods sake! I have found the outfits I want to wear and pack them into my suitcase. "I cant wait." I say.
It's the 8th today. The preperation time went very quickly. I guess time goes quick when you're excited. I hear a car horn beep. I look outside my window and there is a taxi waiting for me outside my house. I grab my suitcase, say goodbye to my family, and hop into the taxi.
I arrive at the airport, where a man greets me and hands me my tickets fo the flight.
"Are you Danni, the winner of the Tre Cool drum lesson competition?" the man asks. "I sure am! Who are you?" I ask.
"I'm Gregory Murphy, the competition organiser for Green Day. Here are the tickets for your flight, and a card to hand to the Mansion hotel when you arrive, so they know who you are." "Thanks a heap! And nice to meet you." I reply. "Hurry on then, your plane is about to leave, Goodbye, and have fun!" Gregory say. "Ok, sure am gonna have fun! C'ya later!" I reply.
I arrive at the ticket booth, and hand my ticket to the hostess. She scans it and I hop onto the plane.
I take my seat and turn on the inflight movie. Wha'dya know? It's Riding in vans with boys, the movie Green Day star in. I watch it happily and imagine what is to be the next day.
My plane arrives in California, and I step into darkeness. It's funny how the time is different here in the USA, since im from Australia. A man stands in the airport holding a sign saying 'Danni'. I assume thats me and approach him. "Are you Danni, the winner of the Tre Cool competition?" he asks. "Yeah, I am. Who are you!" I ask. "Im here to escort you to the Mansion hotel. Come with me." he replys. He leads me to a black stretch limosine. I hop in, and whos there sitting in the seat, waiting for me? The Legendary Tre Cool!
I stare with my jaw dropped at him. "Well, you gonna say anything?!" he says in a sarcastic manner. "Oh my god! Tre Cool!" i scream! "Yeah, thats me" he says. "You're Danni, right?" he asks. "Yeah I am" I reply, dumbfounded by the sight of him. I hop into the limo and was about to sit infront of Tre, when he grabs my arm and pulls me next to him. "Dont be shy!" he says. "You know ya wanna sit next to me!" We both laugh and I agree.
"So, how old are you?" he asks. "I'm 15" I reply. "Oh, a teeny bop! Awesome! So you play drums?" he asks. "Yeah, I have been for about a year now." i reply. "Oh cool" he says. "You're pretty quiet." he says. "Im just dumb founded, this is so awesome, I mean I worship you, man!" I say. "I worship me, too!" he says, laughing. I laugh. Thats Tre for ya!
We arrive at the hotel. He opens the door for me and I reach my hand out to shake his hand goodnight. "Thats not how you do it!" he says, and gives me a big hug. "See you tomorrow!" he says.
I recieve my mail and I scramble thru it.
