The One I Want, chapter 25
When Billie Joe got home it was dark and quiet. His family was still at the wedding. He could not believe Ralph would do that. He was nervous and scared. He turned on the kitchen light, and got a glass of water. Billie Joe sat down at the table, thinking. What to do with Ralph.
*1 year*
Billie Joe was a senior when Ralph's beating towards Billie Joe got worse. Whenever Billie Joe was alone home with Ralph. Ralph would come up, and hit him. Of course Billie did not say anything because he was afraid.
"What the hell Billie? Your whole side of your left eye is swollen." said Mike on their way to school.
"I fell, no big deal. Now lay off." replied Billie Joe angrily.
"You fall a lot. Lay off the joints dude." said Mike laughing.
Billie gave Mike a glare and walked inside of the school." What did I say?" said Mike confused.
The bell rang for 4th period. Again Billie was late. He kept walking the normal speed till Mr. Clawson the school Ass. Principal.
"Billie Joe Armstrong my I ask why you're late?"
"I went to the bathroom."
"You know what. With your attitude like that. You're going to go no where. You're going to be like those hobo guys in San Francisco."
"Thanks for the info. Mr. Clawson."
"Billie Joe you got to start thinking what you're going to do with you life! You got only a few months left of high school! Now that you're a senior."
Billie Joe stopped walking and looked at Mr. Clawson.
"You're right. I know what I'm gonna do." said Billie Joe smiling
"Good. Now get your skinny ass to class" said Mr. Clawson, then walking away.
Billie Joe decided, he was going to be a musician and to dedicate his life to music. He was going to drop out.
"School does not help you. School is practice for the future, and practice makes perfect, and nobodies perfect, so why practice?" thought Billie Joe as he walked in his class.
Today would be his last day.
