Why Want to Be the Minority If I Already Am?, chapter 2
***RECAP***
There was a knock on my bedroom door,
"If your 16 or older piss off" she shouted, the door opened, and the lad that I met outside Art walked in.
***END RECAP***
"Uh, hi," I said, wondering how the hell he knew where I lived. It must have showed through on my face though, coz he said
"I saw you run out of school, an kinda followed you, hope you don't mind,"
"No! I mean... What I meant was... Oh fuck it," hmm, to enthusiastic on the 'no' I think, but the rambling was worse. He laughed, it was a nice laugh, not mocking but more... More like he actually thought what I said was funny, but without laughing at me if you see what I mean.
"Can I come in?" it suddenly hit me that he was still leaning on the doorway, looking straight at me
"Uh yeah sorry,"
"Why'd you run?"
"You din't see?"
"Nope. Well I saw a girl with a bloody nose after school, and figured it had something to dowith you, but you never know,"
"Oh, well... I don't really think I should tell you,"
"Why?"
"Coz you'll laugh! Or tell all your mates or something"
"I swear I won't laugh! And as for telling my mates the only two i've got happen to be on holiday, and by the time they get back, i'll probley have forgotten anyway!"
"I dunno, I don't really know you that well and..." I trailed of when he got down on one knee, stared at me with big puppy dog eyes, and started begging. I couldn't stop myself laughing, it was hilarious!
"So will you tell me?" he asked, sitting back on the bed beside me
"I don't even know your name!"
"Oh, yeah, sorry 'bout that, its Billie Joe"
"Cool, well I suppose I can tell all now. About a week ago, I saw one of the skater lads looking at me, and I told vanessa..."
"Thats the girl with the bloody nose right?"
"Yeah, well I told her, and she got this idea into her head tha he must fancy me, so I thought, yeah, maybe he does, so, I asked vanessa to talk to him for me, but at the end of the day so that there was less time for him to laugh/look shocked etc., well any ways, she did an he said no, then told all of my class, so they all started laughing at me, then they sort of gatered around were me and her were-"
"And then you smacked her in the face,"
"To put it bluntly, yes"
"Good for you,"
"What?"
"When I went into Art, she started coming onto me without a care in the world, and when I told her to go fuck her hairy friend, she started called me a freak and a tosser-greb"
"What a fucker,"
"Yeah,"
Just then I heard my mum call upstairs telling me tea was ready and did my friend want any, we replied that we'd be alright for a bit, and talked about nothing and everything.
"Damn!" he said, looking at his watch
"What?"
"I've gotta get home,"
"Uh, ok then, seeya tomorrow"
"Seeya," he said as he turned to go, then he had second thoughts, and her turned around and kissed me on the cheek before leaving. I sat there in shock
*BILLIE JOES POV*
Damn, I can't believe I did that, she's gonna hate me now. Fuck fuck fuck
