Basketcase, chapter 4
I woke up in a quite comfortable bed and looked around..... where was I?? Yesterday came rushing back to me. I was still in wet clothes, but my shoes and socks had been removed. I looked around me, a few posters hung on the wall, one of Good Charlotte, one of Blink 182, and my personal favorite was the one of the Beatles. The door opened slowly and Chris walked in. 'What?!' I was in Chris' room?! "Hi" he said shyly. "I found you asleep out side in the rain and brought you in last night." I loved his voice. "You o.k.?" he asked. "Yeah" I answered unsure of what else to say. I stuck out my hand "I'm Chrystelle". "Chris" he responded taking it. "Thanks for letting me stay but I better go..." I started. "Well I suspect you're not going to school.... so why don't you stay here? My parents are out of town for a while." "Oh, shit I forgot about school!" "Well, why don't we ditch today?" "Good idea" I said. "I should change, where's the bathroom?" I asked picking up my bag. "Down the hall to the left third door on your right." "Thanks". I found the bathroom and shut the door. 'WOW! I'm in Chris' house!!' I thought to myself. I changed in to a pair of guy's beige shorts, and a yellow beatles "abbey road" shirt. As I stepped out of the bathroom I ran straight into Chris. "Sorry!"
"It's fine..... ready to go?"
"Where?" I asked him. He just laughed and lead me out the door.
My phone rang as I stepped into the car. "Hello?"
"CHRYSTELLE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Ashley screamed into my ear.
"Dude, I'm fine im ditching school today...... and I won't be coming home." I never ditch school... ever.
"What?" she asked a little calmer.
"Whatisface hit me last night, I ran away.... look I'll stop by your house after school ends."
"Fine...... be careful.... I gotta go before I get caught"
"I will don't worry about me..... I can take care of myself... bye" I hung up.
"Who was that?" Chris asked, starting up the car.
"My friend Ashley..... she's worried about me."
"OOOOOOH" he put a c.d., Finch started playing.
"Hey didn't you do this for the talent contest last year?"
"Yeah.... with a friend." he answered with a hint of pride.
"It was a great show.... you can sing pretty well."
"HA! thanks."
We pulled up into an all ages club that looked pretty familiar. 'Why are we at a club in the middle of the day?' I heard some local band playing inside. We walked in just as it was finishing. Then Green Day took the stage!"HOLY SHIT! No one told me they were playing!" Chris just laughed again. I caught Billie's eye as the started to play "When I Come Around" he started grinning like crazy. I started jumping around and having' fun. Soon "Basket case" started playing and I was having the time of my life. Chris grabbed me by the hand and pulled me into him....... then he kissed me!
