Lazy People Pay Off In The End, chapter 1
"Okay so whose house are we going to practice at tonight?" asked Boo.
"Uh... NOT MINE!" I said, "My parents will NOT go for that. You know that."
"Were doomed," Lee finally added to the conversation. "Because we practiced at my place last week and now it's someone else's turn and Boo you and I are the only ones whose parents can or will (looking at me as if it was my fault my parents thought it was just noise and that I was just wasting my time) spare their garage so Boo it looks like its your place."
"Ugh... FINE! Okay so it's my place. You guys come around 4:00 okay? You can eat at my house."
"You sure your mom won't mind?" Lee asked.
"Nope she won't mind you guys are always around anyway remember? Besides were practically sisters anyway right?" added Boo
"I'm here!!!" I screamed at the top of my lung as I entered the front door.
"And as usual you're the last one I said 4:00 remember not 4:25 come on we REALLY have to practice that new song" Boo yelled back. "Get in here."
Okay so you've met the band Boo, Lee, and I. Lee plays drums, Boo is lead guitar/singer, and I am bass. Anyway from time to time I will interrupt to put things in perspective for you anyway back to the story.

" I can't BELIVE we got this gig!! And at Gilman Street non the less!! This is awesome beyond belief god I'm so nervous!" Boo gasped in disbelief as she exercised her fingers.
"Girls what are you still doing back here?! You're on in 3 minutes come on!" the stage manager said as he closed the door.
We walked on stage and everything got quiet they were waiting for us to start then all of the sudden Boo started playing; I was so happy because it happened to be one of the ones I wrote so of course I was ready.
We laughed as we walk off stage dizzy from all the excitement of the evening's events. As we left the stage like a faint and distant cry we heard the name of the next band to perform... Green Day.
After the laughter finally wore off all three of us started packing up our equipment. As we lifted Lee's drums into the car with sheer exhaustion Boo said "We really need to do two things, one, hire people to help us load this stuff up, and, two get a bigger vehicle so we can fit it all in one trip."
"I know what you mean", I replied with equal exhaustion "especially these drums (giving Lee an evil glare as if telling her to stop sitting on the pavement and help) they must weigh like ten thousand pounds."
Just then as the bass drum was about to fall out of our grasp a pair of hands reached up and stopped it "Looks like you girls could use some help." the owner of the hands remarked.
"Nice observation Sherlock but how did you come to that conclusion?" Boo replied we knew him from somewhere... but where... school, or just around town? I wondered. But one thing was for sure I had seen him before I mean who could forget a face like that, those baby blue eyes, that dark brown hair, so I quickly cut Boo off with an elbow too the ribs to shut her up before she spit out a much meaner insult.
"Yeah! We could" I replied in a much cheerier tone of voice "Thanks."
He had two friends with him and yet again I recognized them from somewhere and just like before I couldn't think of where. "My names Alora and these are my friends Boo and Lee" I introduced my self by my real name while using their nicknames.
"I'm Mike the dude over there is Billie Joe and the poster child for ridddlin behind him is Tre`"
"Hi hi!!" The guy behind Billie Joe said.
"We saw your band perform earlier." Billie Joe said, "You guys rocked!"
"Thanks" Boo said as Mike helped us lift the bass drum into the back seat and Tre` sat beside Lee, "That's kind of what we're supposed to do."
"So are you guys in a band? Because you seem to know how to handle the equipment."
"Um... yeah we performed right after you actually" Tre` finally spoke "We're called Green Day."
"Ooohhh ok!! So who does what in your band?" Lee asked.
Mike didn't answer he just sat their staring at me but I pretended not to notice as Billie and Tre` tried to discreetly get his attention so that I wouldn't notice.
"I'm lead guitar and singer, Tre` is drummer, and Mike is Bassist and back-up vocals." Billie Joe answered "So what's what in your band?"
Boo finally spoke up "I'm lead guitar and singer, Alora is bassist, and Lee is the drummer."
"WOOOHOO!!!" I screamed changing the subject as I danced around jumping up and down.
"Oh come on Alora not the Ramones AGAIN!!" Lee commented as Blitzkrieg Bop blasted on the speakers "Sorry she does this I personally believe she belongs in a straight jacket."
The rest of them also got up to jump with me as Lee shook her head and buried it in her hands "GOD help me please!"
"Hey the Ramones rock!" Tre` said, "Joey Ramone changed the world!"
"Seriously leave the Ramones alone!!" I said as I turned the radio up.
After we were all out of breath we finally all plopped down where we stood then breaking the silence and panting for breath I finally asked, "So we have to go drop all of this stuff off but after we are done do you guys want to meet some where and hang out."
"Um... yeah we can meet here because we all know how to get here ok?" Billie Joe said.
"Okay! We're good with that!" Boo said speaking for all of us.
"Uh... NOT MINE!" I said, "My parents will NOT go for that. You know that."
"Were doomed," Lee finally added to the conversation.
