Finding The Perfect Girl (A Tre Cool Story), chapter 3
The next morning, a Saturday, the boys decided to er... check out the mall. Tre put on jeans, a checkered t-shirt, white socks, and his black skate shoes. In the kitchen, they each grabbed a box of cereal. Mike (who was trying to shed a few pounds) poured Raisin Bran, Billie grabbed some Mini Wheats, and Tre took his favourite.. Lucky Charms! After all, he was trying to find a girl (he was a bit desperate) and he hoped there was some sort of magic ingredient in the marshmallows that would make him lucky with the ladies. They sat down and started eating. Billie and Mike noticed that Tre had almost no cereal and all marshmallows, but hey decided not to say anything.
At the mall, Tre tried as hard as he could not to act retarded. He walked in casually and surveyed the scene. The mall was very busy, as per usual on a Saturday, and there were a lot of sexy ladies around. Tre particularly kept an eye on the brunettes (blondes and redheads didn't do much for him for some reason). "Holy shit, there's sure a lot of hot chicks here today! What are they, from Playboy mansion or something?" Tre exclaimed. They all laughed, and a pretty brunette looked at Tre. He winked and smiled at her, and they went off to Athlete's World to get Tre some new shoes.
Tre looked at all the shoes on the wall with the individual little price tags on the shelves. He decided that he wanted a pair of skate shoes, since the ones he was wearing were the only skate shoes he had. After trying on at least 20 shoes, and with Mike's, Billie's, and the female clerk's opinion, he settled on a pair of black-and-white Circas with a red stripe down the side. $100 later, they left the sports store and headed to the food court.
"So, whaddya think of my new shoes?" Tre asked Billie and Mike as he slurped on his Orange Julius. Billie, munching on his cheeseburger, said "They totally match our punkish style. Especially the black and red." "Since when were you like, obsessed with matching colours? Are you gonna paint the house or something?" Mike laughed. Billie looked thoughtful. "Hey, maybe I should. The wallpaper's shitty and the paint on the walls is disgusting. How 'bout we go to Home Depot after we finish cruising the mall? Oh yeah and Tre? DO NOT crap in the display toilets ever again." "But can I play cook in the kitchens?" "No."
As the boys headed out to Home Depot, Tre saw that girl again. He left Billie and Mike outside Guitar World and walked up to her. "Hey," he said, raising his eyebrows up and down. He checked out her jugs and booty. Pretty nice boobs, he thought.
"Hi," she said with a twiddle of her braids. "Do I know you?"
Tre smiled and said, "No, but would you like to?"
The girl was surprised, but decided to go for it. "Uh, sure! My name's Taylor. Here's my number," She said as she quickly scrawled down her number on a Post-It note in her purse. She handed it to him.
"Yeah, my name's Tre Cool," he laughed.
"Really?" Taylor said. "Are you in like, a band or something?"
"Yeah... It's called Green Day, and I'm the drummer. Actually, we're playing a concert at the new bar tomorrow, do ya wanna come? You can get in free... that's what band passes are for!" Tre said and handed her one from his pocket. He said, "See you tomorrow then. Ciao for now!"
"Bye!" Taylor waved and walked off to her friends, who started chatting (probably about him). Tre walked up to Billie and Mike, who had just finished making their purchases at Guitar World (some picks and a new strap for Mike) and were standing in front of the store, mouths gaping like a pair of goldfish out of water. "HOW did you do that?!" Billie asked as they started walking to the parking lot. "You just walked up to her and she was mesmerised! She even gave you her number!" Tre winked and said, "See, there's this special magnet in my pants that just pulls girls in. Also, I'm Tre Cool! What do you expect? I'm the sex machine." He growled and started humming 'Dominate Love Slave'. Mike grumbled under his breath, 'I wish I could do that.' as they got in the car.
That night, Tre wanted to make sure he took extra care in picking out his clothes for tomorrow. Taylor seemed to like the clothes he was wearing at the mall, so he picked out something similar that would fit the band's punky style- his black Dickies, a red collared t-shirt, and his pinstriped overcoat. He also took his black socks and his new Circas. 'There', he thought. He quickly took a shower and fell asleep.
