Before They Were Green, chapter 1
*beep*, a muffled sound came from inside the nighttable drawer. The alarm clock. Bille Joe's eyes fluttered open. He glanced at his clock. It read 7:15 am. Billie lay in his bed. He ran his hand through his tangled curly brown hair. He breathed in deep and exhaled slowly. He plopped his head back on his pillow. He had just closed his emerald green eyes, ready to sleep through the snooze button for ten more minutes when his bedroom door was thrown open with a bang! The 15-year-old boy jumped up in surprise.
"You little fucker!" Alan, Billie Joe's brother yelled. He walked up to Billie and grabbed his shoulders shaking him roughly.
"What are you doing, get off me!" Billie yelled.
"You took my favorite cds and you broke my Metallica one dumbass!" Allan growled. Billie Joe pushed Allen and Allen pushed him back.
"Boys, stop!" Ollie, their mom cried form the doorway. Allen gave Billie Joe one last shove that caused him to fall onto his bed and left the room.

Mike stood infront of the bathroom mirror staring at his reflection. His deep blue eyes twinkled back at him. He took some hair jel and moved it through his freshly-cut short blond hair. He liked it, it was definatly going to grow on him. He gave himself one last glance in the mirror and with a satisfied smile, left the bathroom. Mike grabbed his schoolbag and swung it over his shoulder. He opened the front door and called;
"Bye mom, going to walk to Billie's and go to school!" Mike walked down the front steps, his black sneakers crunching on the gravel in the driveway. Whistling a tune, Mike headed to his best friend's house.

Tre sat in the back of the schoolbus all alone. The rest of the kids chatted happily infront of him. Tre's wide aqua blue eyes traveled to his notebook in which he picked up and started doodling over his un-finished homework. The bus came to a stop at a red light. Tre pushed his red-blond bangs out of his eyes and just added the finishing touches of a sketch of his old and loose english teacher Mrs. Grizwald when a rock hit the bus's back window with a *clunck*. Tre turned around and looked out the window to see who through the rock. A gleam appeared in his eyes when he saw his two best friends waving at him vigorously. Tre stuck up his middle finger and waved his hand at them with a cheesy smile plastered on his face. He plopped down on his seat and noticed a few people staring but he just took out his notebook again and started his next "masterpiece".

"So that's a pretty cool haircut you got goin' on there." Billie said to Mike.
"Yeah, just got it yesterday." Mike replied. Mike swept the backwards red baseball hat off Billie's head, revealing a mass of curly brown hair.
"You should think about getting a haircut dude." Mike sniggered. Billie picked up his hat and put it back on. They had reached the school and Tre's bus had just pulled up to the sidewalk. Tre stepped out of the bus and greeted them.
"Hey there cuties!" Tre joked." Nice haircut Mike, Billie could use one tho."
"Yeah but I'm not paying big bucks for some gay hairdresser guy to take some scissors and go snip snip voila!" Billie said.
"Get your mom to do it then Billie." Mike said.
"Yeah right. I'm not lettin' her touch my head. I don't want a mamma's boy cut!" Tre and Mike laughed.
"Well how're you ever gonna get it cut?" Mike asked.
"Oh I have my sources." Billie said slyly"And I know just the guy to go to." he added, a micheveious grin spreading across his face.
"You little fucker!" Alan, Billie Joe's brother yelled. He walked up to Billie and grabbed his shoulders shaking him roughly.
