Finding The Perfect Girl (A Tre Cool Story), chapter 8
Wednesday came fast, and the band was all hyped for the concert. Billie + Mike held the secret for the most part, but just informed Tre that they were getting a new backup singer (this seemed odd to Tre as he thought the guys sang fine, especially Billie) and that the new singer would be performing at the concert. Tre just shrugged it off and started to practise.
At the concert the band was playing all the songs off American Idiot. They played well, and the time came for Letterbomb. Billie told the guys to pause for a sec.
"All right! We have a special guest here tonight at this concert. I'd like to introduce CLOE AMBERFIELD!"
'Oh shit!' Tre thought suddenly, going pale. 'A girl? The backup singer was a GIRL? Holyshitholyshitholyshitholyshit.' His mind was racing, filled with thoughts. 'They set me up! That's what they were talking with Jason about! Oh my god.' He looked over as someone emerged from the side of the stage.
She was the most gorgeous thing Tre had ever seen. The girl had wavy brown hair that fell to her waist, and a dazzling smile with pearly white teeth. She was wearing Daisy Duke shorts, and had an orange t-shirt reading 'Orange Crush' with a pair of gold hoops. There were beige open-toe high heeled sandals on her feet. (Billie frowned slightly- she was supposed to be wearing something red white and black. Oh well, girls were girls). She turned and smiled at the band before walking on stage and picking up a mike.
"Hello everybody, my name is Cloe Amberfield and I'm going to be the new backup for Green Day!" The crowd roared and clapped. "It's a real pleasure to be singing with this band. You know, I've always loved Green Day." She winked. "All right, are you ready?" She began to sing. Her voice was so beautiful. "No-body likes you, e-veryone left you, they're all out with-out you, ha-ving fun."
Tre was so hypnotized by her that he almost forgot he was at the concert and struggled to keep the drum tempo straight. Billie turned around and gave him a 'what are you doing, Tre?' look. Tre went all red in the face. Cloe went to the back and picked up an acoustic, beginning to play. The crowd cheered. Tre tried to remain calm and played to the best of his ability to make a first impression on Cloe. It seemed to work, because she smiled at him. Tre looked at her and gave her a Tre smile (when he raised his one eyebrow making him look really sexy). She went back to focusing on her guitar.
After the concert, Tre pulled Billie and Mike aside. "What the fuck! Why didn't you guys tell me?" he hissed.
"We wanted to keep it a secret." Mike smiled.
"Man, you should have told me! Then I would have changed my shoes and done my hair better and..."
"She seems to like you just the way you are," Billie said
"Well... Damn, you guys surprised me."
At that moment Cloe walked up to them. "So, how was I?" she asked.
"Perfect!" Billie said. He put his hand in an A-OK shape.
Cloe looked at Tre and noticed he was gawping at her like a goldfish out of water and his face was all red. She raised her eyebrows at him and turned to Mike. "So, what happens now?"
"Well, we should pack up first and see what time it is when we're done," he said.
"Okay, sounds good," Cloe said and left them to go pack up. The boys did the same.
After packing, Billie checked his watch. "Well, we still have time to kill, and I'm starving. Cloe, do you wanna come over and I can make dinner?"
"Okay," she replied. "Are you sure you want me to come over?"
Before Billie could answer back, Tre said, "Of course! ...I mean, why not, you haven't had dinner,"
Cloe raised her eyebrows and looked at Bille. "Ookay, let's go then," she said as she stepped into the tour bus.
