Couldn't Imagine Life With You, chapter 1
I woke up to my alarm clock blaring in my ear, so I roll over and hit the snooze button and fall right back asleep. Ten minutes later my alarm clock sets off again, and this time I get up. I have always set my alarm to go off ten minutes before I have to get up because I know I won't get up the first time! I get out of my bed and stand in the middle of my room and look at all the Green Day posters I have strewn throughout my walls of my room. I throw on a Kerplunk shirt and a pair of jean ripped to shreds at the bottoms. I walk down the stairs and pack my lunch, brush my teeth, throw my ragged converse on, put my coat on, grab my book bag, and run out the door to catch the bus. I meet my friend on the bus and we talk all the way to school.
"Damn I wish it wasn't so cold outside!" I replied to my friend Anna, the bassist of my band, Mixed Emotions. I played lead guitar and lead vocals.
"I know! Damn you Erie!" Anna said shaking her fist. We got to school and stood on the sidewalk waiting for our friend Anne the second guitarist of our band. Anne and I go back to second grade and had some rough times through middle school, but everything worked out fine!
"Good, now that you're here lets head inside before I fucking freeze to death!" Anna said running to the doors of the school. Once we got inside we met up with the drummer of our band, Sara. All four of us made it through out first three classes. I headed to my locker to get my lunch, and headed for the cafeteria. When we sat at the table we always sit at, all the preps started to stare like they always do, and see Anne and my old friends looking at us weird, talking about us behind our backs. It's been that ways since Anne and I turned "punk". Anne and I were the only ones of our friends who were "obsessed" with Green Day! I had a huge crush on Mike and Anne loved Tre!
"Wouldn't it be awesome if we could be with Green Day right now? To be with people like us!" Anne said ignoring the comments of the other people.
"It would be awesome!" We weren't the only "punk" people in the school, but the other ones never really liked us. We were are own little group of freaks, geeks, and dorks.
"Yeah, you could be with Mike, and I could be with the adoring Tre Cool!" I laughed at Anne's dreaming, but we all know both us would dream about it. We made it through the rest of out classes, even though orchestra seemed like it took forever, and Anna and I headed for the bus. I got home and did absolutely nothing that night (did all my homework at school). When I went to go to bed I turned on my stereo (can't sleep without music) and Green Day's Nimrod came on, and I put on my boxers and slipped into bed. I thought about what Anne said at lunch and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning I wake up I look over and I see Mike Dirnt!
"Morning" I said to Mike as if I knew him my whole life.
"Morning" He said back and at the same time both of us realize what's going on and we both scream. Mike flies out of the bed and then I realize I'm in a different house and even in a different state. I look at myself and I look different, like I look older! Just minutes later a little girl walks into the room. She has middle length wavy dark-brown hair and dazzling blue eyes. She must have been at least five years old.
"Are you alright mommy and daddy?" She asks and Mike and I just look at each other in aw.
"Yes, were alright, sweety." Mike said playing it off as if everything was alright. She walked out of the room and I look at Mike.
"Um... ... .Who are you, how did you get here, and who was that girl?" Mike asked staring at me.
"Um... .I'm Angie, I have no idea how I got here, All I know is I went to bed in Erie, and now I'm in Cali I assume and I'm a different age, and I have no idea who that was!" Just then the phone rings and Mike picks it up. He hands me the phone and says it's for me.
"Hello."
"Hey Ange, just calling to see if you guys made it home alright. God, you guys got so trashed last night! Good thing it was after we performed!" I could tell it was Anna's voice, but I didn't recall any of that happening and I bet Mike didn't either.
"Yeah were alright."
"Ok, sweet, remember to head over to the studio so we can get back on to recording."
"Ok, see you then."
"Alright! Bye." I hung up the phone and handed it back to Mike.
"Who was that?" Mike said.
"It was my friend Anna, but she was talking about stuff we did last night I don't even remember doing. She told me we were recording! I didn't know my band was that good!" Mike just stared at me. I was trying to think what the fuck was going on! Mike walked into a closet I assumed and got dressed and walked out of the room. There was another door in the room. I opened it up and saw it was another closet full of girl's clothing. It looked like stuff I would wear. I threw on some clothes and walked out of the room. Mike was sitting at and island in the kitchen eating some toast. I guess he's thinking on what fuck was going on too. I walked around and I found a living room. I walked in and looked around everywhere. There has to be scrapbooks or something around here! I found a photo album. I open it up and just look at a couple pictures, then I picked it up and ran it over to Mike. As he looked at the pictures he couldn't believe what he saw either, but I couldn't have been happier!
