weed solves everything, chapter 1
It all started on a normal Saturday afternoon... Oh who am I kidding, there are no normal afternoons with us...and us being Keirstin, Rebecca and stef. Alright, so we were having a band practice in my garage and my brother was playing back-up guitar because he had nothing better to do. We were in the middle of playing 'Run' when three guys came walking down my street. Right away Rebecca noticed and tried to show off with her vocal skills and guitar playing. We finished the song, but Rebecca didn't stop playing. "Becca...dude... Anybody home?!" I shout, but shes still playing. Stef got pissed and jumped over her set and slapped her in the face.
"Fuck Rebecca, there are no solos in this song!"
"Mother fucker, what was that for?!" Rebecca felt her cheek and put her bass down.
"Well jeez, it's true, there aren't any solos, unless you wanna add one for those guys out there." I knew that was gonna get her mad, and as soon as I said that, the three guys started walking up my drive way. "EXCUSE ME, PRIVATE PROPERTY, get the fuck off it," I mumbled the last bit so the whole neighborhood wouldn't hear, I was fairly new to the area. The guys kept coming up the driveway, they looked around the same age as us so I figured whatever, lets just see what they want and then continue.
"Hey, what's up?" He was short, jet black hair, piercing green eyes... Wow he was hot!
"Umm, hi...?" Rebecca was acting all 'what the fuck do you guys want' but I knew she was checking out the tall dude with the blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Sorry, don't mean to be nosy or anything, but you guys sound good," the green eyed guy was talking again; I couldn't stop looking at him!
"Oh my God I know!! Wanna come for lunch? It's on us!" the third guy yelled. I just realized he was there; he was short, blue eyes just like the taller guy, and deep brown hair with green at the ends, he looked so anxious to go do something so I said sure, and they looked at my brother but he said he was going to call his girlfriend and see what she wants to do. So we left him there and the 6 of us went walking into town.
The town we live in is so small, so we went to the little fish n chips place on the corner. We walked in and the girl behind the counter instantly gave us all a dirty look. The short guy with the blue eyes just stuck out his tongue at her. "So guys, if you're going to buy us lunch we could at least know your names?"
"I'm Mike, this is Billie Joe an this is..."
"Cool.. Tre Cool," he winked.
"Err... Ok, I'm Keirstin, this is Rebecca and this is Stef, so your Mike, Billie Joe, ok can I just call you bj? And umm... Ok seriously dude, what's your name?"
"I'm serious, it's Tre cool, don't believe me?"
"Oh c'mon, who the hell would name their kid Tre Cool... Although I have to admit it's a pretty kick ass name." Stef was looking straight at him smiling... Oh my God, Stef, smiling at a guy? Wow...
"My name is Tre Cool, that's the only name you need to know!"
"He's ashamed, his real name is some dorky ass name that's why." BJ punched Tre and he started to fake cry.
We started talking about bands and stuff and it turns out we have the same taste in music. I ended up sitting beside Billie Joe in the booth because Tre wouldn't stop kicking me from across the table, so Mike was sitting beside Rebecca and Tre started talking to Stef.
Tre ended up getting us kicked out for singing really loud... Some song he made up about being a love slave and taking the pain... It was so funny I got him to teach me the words and we started singing it together. Okay, so I guess we both got us kicked out. We left the fish n chips place and decided to go back to my house. We were walking down a short cut, which turned out to be a secluded trail along a river, and me and Mike started walking way ahead and so we stopped under a tree to look at the clouds while we waited. "Here, relax," he told me, motioning to his chest while he laid himself down in the grass. I figured, eh whatever, that's harmless right?
"Oh, look! It's a bunny!" I was pointing up at a fluff in the sky.
"That's not a bunny... I dunno what the heck that is"
"I'm telling you, it's a bunny!"
Just then, Tre comes running and lays down on Mike on the other side of him, and tried to push me off. "Back off, get your own sandwich!" I just looked at him funny.
"Get your own MAN sandwich!" he said, sticking his tongue out at me. Okay, these guys are just a little weird...just a little. Stef came running up to us, and dropped on the ground in front of me. Rebecca and BJ were walking over hand in hand. Wow, that was fast! Wait, we don't even know these guys and we're laying on them and holding their hands? What the hell is wrong with us!
"Wait a second... We don't even know you guys and you don't know us... I think we should go."
"Wait, wait, don't go!" Mike grabbed my arm and pulled me back on the grass with him.
"Keirstin Mary Jamieson, your favorite color is red and black and your favorite food is pasta and pizza and you have two half brothers, one you're not even supposed to know about, a step-dad and a real dad that you stopped talking to and left back home because you weren't in Canada and you moved here when you were 7... Rebecca Joanne Harley, your favorite color is green and black and you have a mom an a dad and a sister and a dog and a cat... Stefanie Maryanne DeCosta, favorite color is green and favorite food is pizza and you have a mom an a dad and two brothers older than you and you had a dog but it died a while ago." Tre stopped and took a breath and started to say more but I cut him off.
"OH MY GOD YOU STALKER! Shit we're gonna die, oh my God fuckin' stalker we're gonna die, guys can we get outta here now please!" I started screaming.
"What, it's called the internet, handy for porn and scaring little girls!" Tre said laughing.
"Who are you calling little?" Rebecca said defensively. I got up and started running away towards my house. BJ and Mike just gave Tre a look and Tre got up and started to chase me. BJ was chasing Rebecca and he caught her, and Mike caught Stef too... It was just me left and Tre finally caught up to me and tackled me to the ground, but we rolled and rolled right off the edge of the cliff thing and into the river. Luckily it was the middle of summer so it wasn't that bad, but I was wearing a white warped tour t-shirt and we all know what happens to white t-shirts and water. Tre got up first and stood over me yelling,
"YES I AM TRIUMPHANT!" and then he picked me up and carried me back up to where all the guys were. He dropped me on the grass and BJ started laughing his ass off and Tre realized what happened to my shirt and wouldn't stop staring until I rolled over on my stomach and looked at everyone else to help me. Mike was wearing two layers so he took off his t-shirt to reveal some serious muscles on his arms and stomach through his white tank top. I thanked him and got up to put the t-shirt on and put up the idea of going back home now to change, but BJ had other plans.
"I've got some dope here though, good stuff too, I say we stay a while longer!" We decided to stay after making sure that they weren't freakish stalkers or anything, and we sat back under the tree and smoked up for a while. We were having fun, and I figured my shirt was dry enough so I took off Mike's shirt but it wasn't completely dry and Tre kept staring... He was making me feel really uncomfortable especially after the whole stalker episode. We were all laughing and having a good time with Tre singing his songs about being 'all by myself' until my phone rang and it was my mom and she wanted us home.
"Shit, that was my mom! We can't go home smelling like this, she isn't dumb!" I was starting to panic.
"Calm down, you can come to our house, mine and Mike's and well Tre's too kind of because he's always there anyway, and take showers and we'll wash your clothes an then you can go home, see? No need to panic," and he put his arm around my shoulder, I shrugged it off and agreed.
"Wait, you're almost 17 and your mom still calls you to get your ass home?" Tre asked as politely as he could I was guessing.
"She's the most annoying bitch and half the time I don't even answer but my parents have been fighting an I don't wanna make things worse." And with that we started to walk back to Billie, Mike and Tre's house.
It turns out Billie doesn't live too far from me actually, only a couple streets up the hill. So we get there and we find out they're in a band too, Green Day, when they told us that, Stef was like "wow, that's weird, we have days like that like every day!" and Tre got so excited he hugged her but she punched him in the stomach so he let go. Eventually we all finished our showers, but our clothes were still in the dryer so we sat around in towels and talked in the garage. It was night by now, but we didn't really care. We heard the ding for the clothes and Rebecca, who was looking really uncomfortable, ran for them, but Tre got there first. He opened up the dryer and Rebecca tackled him to get the clothes first. She threw me all my clothes, and then took her own but Tre pushed her out of the way after she got her's and grabbed Stef's clothes.
"Ooh la la!" Mike whistled when he saw Rebecca's thong in her hand. She tried to cover it with her shirt and ran into the washroom to change. I had finished changing and was waiting for Rebecca while watching Stef chase Tre around in a towel. Rebecca needed help with her hair, so I went in the washroom to help her and Stef comes barging in with her 'undergarments' saying,
"THIS! THIS IS ALL HE GIVES ME, THE BASTARD!" So she changed and started chasing him to get the rest of her clothes. I finished helping Rebecca and walked out just in time to see Stef straddling Tre on the floor and Tre with a huge grin on his face. BJ and Mike instantly tried to get us out of the room and we didn't argue, I didn't want to see that and apparently neither did Rebecca.
"Come on girls, nothing to see here!" BJ said, turning me around to go out the door to the living room, and then I felt someone nudge me.
"Dude, what are we gonna do now, I don't wanna leave!" Rebecca was whispering to me as Mike led her by the waist onto a couch. I just plopped myself onto the other couch and BJ sat next to me and turned on the TV flipping through the channels. He stopped on Sesame Street and Rebecca jumped up and down on the couch yelling, "YES, I love this show!!" but as much as she loves the show she didn't watch it for long. After about 10 minutes she started making out with Mike and me and BJ were just sitting there still watching Big Bird try to find Ernie in the forest. Eventually he turned it off and turned to me, I couldn't help but look in his eyes. They were so green it was amazing and almost unbelievable how beautiful they were. He came really close to my face, I could feel his breath on my lips, and he smiled.
"Let's go play some music!" he said.
"Sure!" I replied and we walked back into the garage where Tre's drum set and Mike's bass and Bj's guitar were. We walked in on Stef and Tre swapping spit on the couch in there, so BJ just yelled,
"THERE'S BEDROOMS IN A HOUSE FOR A REASON!" and that got them out of there. So it was just me and BJ, and we started to play random chords and eventually stopped and just talked about stuff sitting on the couch. I can't quite remember what happened, but I know I fell asleep to slight snoring in my ear and an arm around me.
Morning came and holy shit! What was I going to tell my parents! Oh well, screw them. I got up to go find Stef and Rebecca and I found Rebecca right where I left her, on the couch, and Mike was up making coffee. "Morning! Want some?" he asked me with a big smile on his face.
"Umm, sure, thanks, so umm, you and Rebecca, you didn't..." I said looking at her on the couch covered in a blanket. He smiled and went over and pulled the blanket back a little bit to show her clothes still on. "Oh, okay, just wondering, you know... Where's Stef and Tre?"
"Umm..." he said, with a weird look on his face. Oh man, I know Stef, she wouldn't do anything...would she?
I walked down the hall and opened the bedroom door to find Stef sprawled out on the bed and Tre on the floor with just a pillow under his arm. They both still had their clothes on. GOOD. I went and got a cup of cold water and dumped it on Stef's face. She screamed and kicked and swore and realized it was me and almost threw me out the window. Needless to say, Tre was still sound asleep. We left him there to go into the kitchen. Rebecca was up by now, watching TV and drinking coffee. She looked at me with a big smile on her face as she cuddled in closer with Mike on the couch. I left Stef in the kitchen to get her own coffee as I walked into the garage to find BJ. He was still asleep on the couch, so I knelt down beside his face and held the coffee right under his nose. He cracked a sleepy smile.
"Mmm, for me?" he mumbled
"Hehe, you wish, but I could get you a cup if you want."
"Hmmm, please babe, would you?" I got up and got him a cup of coffee and came back to him sitting on the couch half covered in a blanket still, his hair a mess. He looked up at me with a crooked smile as I handed him his coffee and sat down beside him. "Thanks babe."
"You're welcome. And since when is it babe?"
"Well, since last night, duhh," he said with a dumb look on his face to go with the duhh.
"Hehe, alright hun, let's go in the kitchen." He looked at me and leaned in for a kiss but I turned my face so he kissed my cheek.
"Dude, brush your teeth before you try to kiss anything this morning."
"Fuck Rebecca, there are no solos in this song!"
"Mother fucker, what was that for?!" Rebecca felt her cheek and put her bass down.
"Well jeez, it's true, there aren't any solos, unless you wanna add one for those guys out there." I knew that was gonna get her mad, and as soon as I said that, the three guys started walking up my drive way.
