The day I'll never forget..., chapter 1
September 7, 2005- probably the best day of my life. Today was the day of the greatest concert ever; and my best friend, Kayla's birthday.
I woke up at 12:00, my hair messed up and my one tank top strap falling off. I laughed at the way I looked. I shot up out of bed and turned my music on full blast. I danced around the room to Green Day because today was the day of what was the best concert in the history of punk rock. I turned off my music after I heard the neighbors honking their horn. I laughed and picked up the cordless phone. I dialed Kayla's number and waited until she picked up her damn phone.
"Hello?" Kayla said lazily.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!" I screamed into the phone and we both laughed.
"How's it going sexy?" She said, and it made me laugh. (No, we aren't lesbians. She's just a really fucking awesome friend)
"Very, very, very, good. How's about you?" I asked.
"Great. I CAN'T WAIT UNTILL TONIGHT! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING!" Kayla screamed and we both started screaming like little school girls.
"I'm making a sign for you so let's see if they'll take us backstage or something." I said.
"How many hours do we have left again?" Kayla asked.
"Hmmmm............." I quickly glance at the alarm clock next to my bed. "About eight."
"I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!" Kayla screamed and just then, Jen came walking into my room, extremely tired.
"Can you guys like shut up? I was having a good dream about us meeting Green Day." Jen said and me and Kayla both laughed.
"Awww, I'm sorry Jen. You don't have to dream about it anymore, cause it's happening tonight." I said and a smile came across her face.
"KAYLA! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!" Jen screamed and me and Kayla laughed.
"Tell her I said okay, as long as my room mate doesn't wake up." She said and I told Jen.
"Here, talk to her. I'm going to take a shower." I said and handed Jen the phone.
"Well hurry up cause I want to take a shower too." She said.
"You have eight hours, stupid." I grabbed my clothes and Jen laughed at my comment.
I headed into the bathroom, shut, and locked the door. I got in the shower and washed my hair and my body and blah, blah, blah. You know the drill. I got out of the shower and noticed I forgot to grab my underwear. I laughed at my stupidity. I wrapped my towel around me and opened the bathroom door. I walked into the bedroom and Jen laughed at me. I smiled and flipped her off.
"DON'T MAKE ME RIP THAT TOWEL OFF!" Jen yelled and I heard Kayla say something.
"Oh, you know you want to." I winked at her and we both laughed.
I grabbed what I needed and headed back into the bathroom. I shut the door and locked it, then got dressed. I brushed my long brownish hair and gelled it so it looked really cool. I couldn't wait until tonight. We could meet Green Day. Me, Kayla, and Jen always loved Green Day. Today was Kayla's 22 birthday. Jen was 22 also and I was only 21. We all lived in a fucked up town called Bushkill. Tonight, we had to drive two hours away to go to Philadelphia for a fucking awesome Green Day concert. Our plan was to hold up a neon green sign that said it was Kayla's birthday and try to make Billie get us on stage or back stage. We were all majorly obsessed with Green Day. Kayla was in love with Billie Joe, I was in love with Tre, and Jen liked Mike. Kayla was a really pretty girl with reddish/ brown hair and hazel eyes. Jen had black hair, green eyes and she was also really pretty. Me, I don't think I'm very pretty, but guys think differently. I have brownish/ blonde hair with red tips and blue eyes. I'm actually really skinny. These were my two best friends since middle-school. We even started a band together. I was guitar and vocals, Jen plays bass guitar, and Kayla was on drums. We weren't a big band, but we played some gigs in Stroudsburg at the coolest place ever. Jen was my room mate and we owned a 3-bedroom house. Kayla lived in a 2-bedroom apartment with some friend that I really didn't like too much. Kayla said she would move in with me and Jen though.
I cleaned up the bathroom and walked out. I walked threw my bedroom door and was hit with a brush. It smacked me in the face and I fell to the floor, laughing. Jen was still on the phone with Kayla. I picked up the brush, threw it, but Jen ducked. It hit the wall and we started cracking up again. She got up and hung up with Kayla so she could get ready. Jen stepped over me and went into her room. I got up and ran downstairs, and flew into the kitchen. I slammed into the fridge and then opened the fridge door like I normally do everyday. I couldn't find anything in the fridge, so I opened the freezer, only to get pummeled with waffles. They fell out of the box and hit me in the head and fell on the floor. I hoped Jen didn't hear them all drop. I ran over to the steps, just to make sure she didn't hear. I ran back over to the spilled waffles, picked them up, and shoved them back in the box, but two. I plugged in the toaster, and shoved the waffles in and turned on the toaster. I sat at the table and stared at the toaster until it popped. I grabbed the waffles and just ate them. I ran to the fridge again, opened it, and grabbed some orange juice. I opened it up and drank right form the carton. It must've been bad because it tasted like crap. I spit it out in the sink, closed the carton, and just threw the carton across the room. I grabbed some water and drank that. I threw the bottle, ran into the living room, and jumped onto the couch. I turned on the TV and watched Sponge bob until Jen got out of the bathroom.
She finally got out, and I ran upstairs. I ran into the bathroom and put eyeliner on, and brushed my teeth. Jen was already ready and she went downstairs to go eat.
"WHAT THE HELL?" She screamed and I laughed because I knew she found the orange juice.
She came running upstairs and I shut and locked the door in her face as she was running towards the door. She slammed into the door, fell on the ground, and we both started laughing. Then the doorbell rang. I opened the door, jumped over her, and started running, until she pulled my leg, making me fall. She got up, but I pulled on her leg, making her fall. I got up, jumped over her again, and ran downstairs. I tripped while running towards the door and fell to the ground with a thud. I laughed and got up. I unlocked the door and swung it open to see Kayla standing in the doorway, laughing at all the banging.
"What's up with the banging? You guys having really bad sex?" Kayla asked and laughed.
"Ha-ha. Real funny." I said and let her in and gave her a hug. I knew she was only joking.
Jen came running down the steps and hugged Kayla. They both almost fell to the ground. We laughed and then I ran upstairs to get my Green Day bag. I grabbed it from my room and ran back downstairs. We were getting ready to go out shopping for some clothes for tonight. Right now, I was wearing my green and black tank top with black capris and orange and black socks. I had neon orange converse on so it matched. Well, sort of. Jen was wearing a pink and black skirt with buckles, a blue tank top, black shorts underneath her skirt, toe socks that said hottie up to her knees, and regular black converse with pink and black checkered laces. Kayla was wearing black pants, a Green Day shirt, and pink converse with a bit of green on it.
We all went out the door and got into Kayla's car. Kayla drove, Jen sat in the passenger seat, and I sat in the back. Kayla drove us to the mall and we had a hell of a time finding a parking spot. We finally found one, and we all jumped out. We raced inside and went to the only cool place we could find. Since we didn't have a Hot Topic, we had to go into Pac Sun. I really didn't like that store too much because the shit was too expensive when I could buy this blank shit myself and detail it. I looked around for only 5 minutes and walked out. We walked to Spencer's to see if we could find anything good. Not really anything. Too expensive, but I did find this Chucky doll I liked. It was the son from the Seed of Chucky.
"If you get that, buy a cage for it and lock it up or I'm not gonna live with you anymore." Jen said and me and Kayla laughed at her.
"Awww. Okay Jen." I said.
"Let's get out of here." Kayla said as a group of people came walking in.
We walked out and went to the food court to see what we were going to do. We went to Dairy Queen and bought some ice cream or whatever. Then we saw these fag-ass preppy girls that looked at us funny. They laughed at us and I felt the rage build inside me, but I ignored them at first.
"Bitch." Jen mumbled and the one girl turned around.
Jen just gave a fake smile at her as she walked away. When they started walking again, we broke out in laughter. Then we went over by the candy stand to get some candy. Jen bought some pop-rocks and some other junk for the show tonight. Then my cell phone rang. I picked it up.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey you."
"OH MY GOD! ADAM?!?!" I said with a smile on my face.
"Heyyyyyyy. Me and Haydn are at the mall. Where are you guys?"
"By the candy stand and Dairy Queen." I said.
"Alright."
I kept talking to Adam and those preppy-ass girls came walking bye again. I didn't hear them because I was on the phone with Adam and was only concentrating on him.
"We're better looking than you fags." Said the lead girl, who was incredibly ugly.
"No you're not. Please!" Jen said.
"Bite me." The girl said.
"No, you bite me!" Jen yelled back.
The girls walked away and then Adam came bye us with Haydn. Then Jen told them what happened and I was completely confused.
"Wait, when did this happen?" I asked.
"JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS AGO!" Jen said.
"That's it!" I said and started walking the way those preps went until Jen stopped me with Kayla, Adam, and Haydn following.
"I got to get more money. Can we go outside?" Adam asked.
"Yea, sure. As long as it calms me down." I said and we headed outside.
We went back to JCPenny's, walked through, and went out the door. I couldn't believe I was getting so worked up about these stupid girls just saying shit. I always had anger issues when I was younger, but I never knew they were this bad. We all stood outside while Adam ran to the bank. I splattered some ice cream on the ground and then was going to throw some at Jen but she shook her head because she already threw hers out. I just plopped it on the ground and then saw some splatter right my foot. I looked up and saw Kayla smiling at me. I flung some at her, but missed. I ran and she chased after me with a spoonful. We finally stopped after about ten minutes and Haydn looked at us like we were crazy.
"Are you guys just going to waste some good food?" He asked and I laughed.
"Yes. We don't want it." Kayla said.
"Oh shit. Gimme it then." Haydn said and we both handed him the ice cream.
"You just love food, don't you?" I asked and he nodded as he was downing the ice cream, no problem.
Me and Kayla laughed and then Adam came back with a wad of money. We all stared at him in amazement because we never saw anybody with that much money at one time. Except on those stupid rap videos.
"What?" Adam asked.
"All that fucking money." Jens said.
Adam laughed and we went back inside. We spent the rest of the day shopping for some stuff. Me, Jen, and Kayla all bought matching outfits. A black skirt with skulls and crossbones on it, red and black striped stockings, a short-sleeved, girl's button-up shirt, and green and black striped ties. Once we got all of our stuff, we went back to Spencer's to hang for a little, since we had about 2 hours before we had to leave. I bought a Green Day wallet and Adam bought me some black and white studded suspenders. The half hour passed up and we had to go get ready for the two hour trip. We gave Adam and Haydn a hug and left the mall. We drove home, excited as hell. We got to mine and Jen's house and I grabbed my stuff and ran upstairs. I ripped off all the tags, and got changed into all my stuff. I fixed my eyeliner and put on my Green Day hat over my gelled hair. I looked really good. I grabbed my Green Day purse and went downstairs. Jen and Kayla were both in the downstairs bathroom, fixing their hair and eyeliner. We all got ready and since we had about 45 minutes until we had to leave, we set off down the road early.
I woke up at 12:00, my hair messed up and my one tank top strap falling off. I laughed at the way I looked. I shot up out of bed and turned my music on full blast. I danced around the room to Green Day because today was the day of what was the best concert in the history of punk rock. I turned off my music after I heard the neighbors honking their horn.

"How's it going sexy?" She said, and it made me laugh. (No, we aren't lesbians. She's just a really fucking awesome friend)
"Very, very, very, good. How's about you?" I asked.
"Great. I CAN'T WAIT UNTILL TONIGHT! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING!" Kayla screamed and we both started screaming like little school girls.
"I'm making a sign for you so let's see if they'll take us backstage or something." I said.

"Tell her I said okay, as long as my room mate doesn't wake up." She said and I told Jen.
"Here, talk to her. I'm going to take a shower." I said and handed Jen the phone.
"Well hurry up cause I want to take a shower too." She said.
"You have eight hours, stupid." I grabbed my clothes and Jen laughed at my comment.
I headed into the bathroom, shut, and locked the door. I got in the shower and washed my hair and my body and blah, blah, blah. You know the drill. I got out of the shower and noticed I forgot to grab my underwear. I laughed at my stupidity. I wrapped my towel around me and opened the bathroom door.
