Burger King, Tre Cool And A Gig In Oakland, chapter 1
<p>''One light, one mind, flashin' in the dark, blinded by the sil...'' Jay sang almost in a whisper as Minority blasted into her head through her mp3 player. She started nodding her head in time when she thought she heard a familiar voice saying something about her taste in music but she figured it must be her imagination, she walked on through the store and picked up a Green Day t-shirt and went over to pay for it.</p>
<p>''You like Green Day huh?'' said the girl at the cash desk.</p>
<p>''Yeah they're awesome!'' she replied with a smile.</p>
<p>''Goin' once, goin' twice, it's gone'' someone sang. Jay turned around to see who it was but there was only her, the girl at the desk and a dude lookin' at hats. Jay found the guy's face familiar and realised he looked like Tre Cool.</p>
<p>''Hey that dude looks like Tre,'' she said to the shop assistant. The guy turned around when he heard the name 'Tre' and laughed a bit.</p>
<p>''What the hell's his problem?'' the shop assistant whispered to Jay with a curious look. The guy removed a pair of dark sunglasses and laughed loudly.</p>
<p>"HOLY CRAP!," Jay shouted loudly, "that guy IS Tre!" she laughed and picked up her shopping bag and left the store, stunned.</p>
***
<p>Later on, she heard someone shout at her to wait up, she spun round to see her idol, Tre. ''Hey, I saw you in that shop, remember?'' he said trying to catch his breath.</p>
<p>"Um, no I forgot," she replied sarcasticly and laughed a bit, "anyways, why the hell are you following me?"</p>
<p>"Uh?, I guess I am aren't I," he said. "So you comin' to the home-coming show tonight?"</p>
<p>"Aw crap, I don't have any money left to buy a ticket," she said trying not to sound desperate.</p>
<p>"Aw that's no problem, I'll get you a ticket on the door, 'kay?"</p>
<p>"Eh, yeah, thanks," Jay replied, a little star-struck.</p>
<p>"So, where you stayin'?" Tre asked.</p>
<p>"Um, I've got this apartment about five minutes from here," she said, "but you can hardly call it an apartment."</p>
<p>"Yeah? So what're ya doin here in Oakland?" Tre asked while strolling along the street.</p>
<p>"Well, it's a long story, I kinda ran away from home last week and I guess I just ended up here y'know."</p>
<p>"Why'd you leave home?"</p>
<p>"Well I had a band and we started doin' some gigs and stuff and then our bass player left to go to England and Joey, my so-called best friend ran off to who-knows-where with his guitar and a head full of dope," she said angrily.</p>
<p>"So, I take it you play drums, hu? Good choice!" Tre smiled.
"Yeah," she smiled back.
"So you wanna go get a burger or somethin'?"
"Uh, yea sure"</p>
***
<p>Jay could hear her phone ringing so she jumped up and walked outside to take the call. "Hey Jay what's up? Are you gonna come back to see me or what?" a friendly voice said.</p>
<p>"Eh, look, I got an apartment and I'm planning to stay here for a while but you'll never belive this!"</p>
<p>"WHAT?! TELL ME!"
"I am in a Burger King with Tre!"
What?! Oh my god! How, what, hang on, are you serious?"</p>
<p>"Yeah, I saw him in a shop and a while later he was chasing after me to talk to me."</p>
<p>"Oh my god! Ahhhh!!! You are so freakin' lucky you little bitch!" her friend laughed.</p>
<p>"Yeah, I'll call you later, 'k'?
"Okay see ya! bye"</p>
<p>She hung up and walked back inside to find Tre on the phone to someone.
"Yeah, I know, but you've got a spare room don't ya?"</p>
<p>Jay looked at Tre as he handed her the phone while shouting to the caller that he was handing the phone to 'her'.</p>
<p>"Hello?, who is this?" Jay said.</p>
<p>"Hey, Tre tells me you're living in some shitty room somewhere rough, you wanna stay at our place; well my place?"</p>
<p>Jay recognised the voice immediately, it was Billie. "Uh, h-h--hi Billie, look you don't need to give me a place to stay, honestly," she said nervously.</p>
<p>"No, I don't mind, there's loads of room here anyway 'cause, well, Adrienne, um, isn't here, y'know what i mean?"</p>
<p>"Oh, right, you sure?"
"Yeah, just bring your stuff whenever, 'k'?"
"Emm, y-y--yea sure," she replied shocked.
"Well I got to go, I'll see you around, bye."</p>
<p>He hung up and Jay sat in her seat with her mouth hanging open.
"So are you stayin???" Tre asked excitedly.
"Um, yeah," she laughed.
"Okay, let's go get your stuff and then we'll head to Billie's place."</p>
***Jay's P.O.V***
<p>I grabbed my clothes and shoved them into a bag and ran down to Tre's car. I was still trying to figure out if all this had just happened and hoped that it wasn't some awesome dream that would leave me upset in the morning. I got into Tre's car and sat there staring into space.</p>
<p>"JAY!" Tre shouted.
"Uh, what?, OUCH!" I screamed as Tre pinched my arm.
"See, it isn't a dream!" he laughed.
I laughed for a bit and then we arrived at Billie's house...</p>
<p>''You like Green Day huh?'' said the girl at the cash desk.</p>
<p>''Yeah they're awesome!'' she replied with a smile.</p>
