Tales From Another Broken Home, chapter 2
RING!!! The bell rings for first period. Late on the first day. My mom isnt going to be impressed. I pull out my schedual and head to my home room class. History. How can they expect anyone to do history first thing in the morning. Thats just unbelievable. Its just SO boring! I arrive at my class room.
"Pleasure of you to join us Mr. Armstrong. Late as usual. That is no way to start a semester. Please take your seat at the back between Mr. Wright and the new student, Miss. Wilson." says my history teacher Mr. Clark. I walk back and take my seat beside Tre.
"Why are you late man?" Tre asks me.
"I donno if I was gunnna come to class or go smoke a joint. I decided to come. Do you and Mike want to skip next period with me and go get high?" I whisper to Tre.
"First day and your already thinking about going and getting high during class. Sure we'll come!" he whispers back, with a huge smile across his face, and a devilish look in his eyes.
"Armstrong! Wright! Stop talking! Can't you see Im trying to teach a lesson here!?" Clark yells to us. We look at each other, smile and read the hand out. If Im going to skip class and stuff, I think I might as well try to do some of the work.
"Do you got a pen or something I can have?" I ask the girl beside. Shes really pretty. And cool looking, not like the rest of the preppy girls in the class. She has short brownish blackish hair, in a black tanktop and ripped black jeans that cover most of her converse and a pair of thick rimmed glasses.
"Yeah sure here" she says handing me a chewed black pen. "Sorry its a little chewed, I tend to do that all the time."
"Yeah thats ok. Whats your name?" I whisper.
"Cassidy. How bout yours?"
"Billie Joe. So. Your new here. Whered you come from?"
"New England. My parents divorced and my mom has relatives here so here I am."
"Thats cool. Whats your second period class?"
"Math. I suck at it."
"What a drag. Want to skip with me and Tre here. We are going to get high. You dont have to get high if you dont do drugs, but come skip with us. It will be fun."
"Cool. Im in. Iv never done drugs before. I dont know if Ill get high, but yea Ill definetly come"
RING!!!!! Wow, time flys when your...well I wasnt having fun so that quote wouldnt exactly work here. Me, Tre and Cassidy get up and go wait for Mike infront of his class room. When he comes out we make out way out of the school, across the street to behind the little stripmall. My faveourite smoking place. No one ever comes back here.
"Mike, this is Cassidy. Cassidy, obviously this is Mike" I say, pulling a joint out of my pocket and lighting it up. "The goodness of weed"
"Cassidy, do you do drugs?" Tre askes, taking the joint out of my hand and taking a drag of it.
"I never have before" she replys.
"Dont pressure her into it guys. If shes wants to, she can ask" I say. Wow. Shes a really cute looking girl.
"Dont you think we will get caught back here" Cassidy asks, but for some reason she doesnt seemed worried.
"Fuck no. Iv been coming here for years" I say. I didnt care either. I was so happy with that joint. They made me feel sooo good!
We were all in the middle of good conversation. Cassidy was telling us about her life, which seemed alot like mine when a black car pulled up and a man got out.
"What do you think your doing you fucking twit. Didnt I teach you a good enough lesson last night?"Brad says coming after me.
"Fuck you. Its my life and Ill do what the fuck I want to. You dont own me. Your not my dad so just FUCK OFF!!" I yell and get up. I knew it was a bad idea but I didnt care. He took one shot at me and I was down on the ground, bleeding out of my nose. I heard Cassidy yell and fall to the ground beside me to make sure I was ok. I really couldnt move. When I hit the ground I got the wind knocked out of me.
"Get out of the way bitch" Brad yelled pushing Cassidy out of the way and pulling me to my feet. All I could do was moan. He had me by the back of my neck.
"Let him go jack ass!" I heard Cassidy yell. Wow. She had guys. More guts then Mike and Tre who hadnt said a thing since Brad got here.
"Oh Billie. You didnt tell me this skank bitch was your girlfriend. She must be desprate. Why would anyone go out with an ugly little prick like you?" Brad asked, snickering.
"Shes not my girlfriend retard!" I yelled.
"Anyone would go out with Billie Joe before you. And dont talk about ugly. Hes better looking then you!" Cassidy yelled. I couldnt believe she was saying all this.
Brad didnt care, he dragged me to the car, threw me in the back seat and drove me over to the school. He took me into the office and told the principal what I had done.
"Well Billie Joe. Seeing is this is only the first time this year Ill be nice and only give you a 3 day suspension. Your step dad has already left. He said that he has to get back to work but he thought I should know. He said you were with 3 other people, 2 males and 1 female. Could I please have there names?" Mr. Pennings asked.
"Yeah right. The fuck Im gunna rat my friends out just cause my step dads a prick! Yeah Im leaving now. See you Friday" I say, get up, smile, and leave, slamming the door behind. When I exit the school Tre, Mike and Cassidy are there waiting for me.
"Im suspened for 3 days. I didnt rat you guys out" I say. Im smiling so they know Im ok.
"3 days? Its only the first time" Tre says.
"He said he was being nice."
"Oh well. Now you will just have to survive-"
"Bille Joe Armstrong get your ass in this car right now" Its Brad.
"HAHA Fuck you ass hole" I reply back, flashing him the figure.
"Im serious!"
"Yea well so am I. Fuck off Brad"
He gets out and drags me to the car. I try to fight him but hes to strong.
"Your suspened so your gunna work. With me! Were going for a little car ride Armstrong! And if you breathe a word of this to your mother, or your scummy little friends tell her you'll be sorry" give my friends a look and shuving me into the car. Where the fuck are we going was all I could think...
