Just another high school story., chapter 2
The last bell for the day finally rang and a stampede of 200 kids suddenly stormed the halls. Voices rang out happily, chatting and laughing about what this Friday was going to hold. I slammed my locker and slung my messenger bag on my shoulder. I felt an arm slip around my waist as I headed to the bus and turned to look directly into Billie Joe's green eyes.
"Hey!" I said wrapping my own arm around him.
"Hey, what are we all doin tonight?" He asked, escorting me to the bus. He let me on first and plopped down beside me in the back.
"I don't know." I said. I looked out the window and saw the sun finally shining back at me.
"Suns out." I mentioned. He leaned across me and gazed out the window as well.
"About time. I thought we were gonna start having to use a row boat to get anywhere!" He sat up straight again and turned to me.
"So what's going on after school?"
"I don't know!" I said again.
"Let's ask them what they want to do." I said, nodding my head to Tre and Mike as they boarded the bus. Tre looked moody as he scooted into the seat.
"What's up with you?" I asked and Tre looked out the window.
"He got detention, again!" said Mike. He pulled his hat out of his backpack and pulled it over his brown hair. Tre crossed his arms over his chest and turned back to us.
"What did you do?" I asked. I pulled out a pack of gum and passed it around, waiting for his reply.
"Don't wanna talk about it." He said as he shoved the stick of gum in his mouth.
"Can we please just drop it, okay?"
"Fine, where are Beth and Ang? I asked looking at Mike.
"They had to stay after for some gay student council shit." He said.
"I think Angie said something about getting her nails done afterwards and Beth's going on vacation for the weekend so it's just gonna be us tonight." I sighed. I wasn't entirely unused to the idea of being the only girl in a group of three guys, but sometimes it got a little tedious.
"Ok so what are we gonna do?" I asked looking towards the front of the bus as the last kid got on and the bus driver closed the doors.
"We could hang out at Gilman's." suggested Billie Joe.
"Or see a movie."
"Pass. Sorry but I am not going into a dark theatre with three teenage guys by myself thank you very much." I said and Tre cocked a smile. He snapped his fingers in a disappointed way.
"Damn! Almost had her that time Bill!" Billie Joe glared at her and an odd moment passed between them.
"What?" I asked, looking between them.
"Nothing, so Gilman's it is then!" Said Tre, rubbing his hands together.
"Ray Ray is supposed to be there with a shit load of weed man!" His eyes glinted excitedly.
"Tre shut your mouth." hissed Mike.
"You're such a friggin idiot, man!"
"Screw you, Pritchard!" He said shoving him lightly. Mike's cheeks flushed in anger.
"It's Dirnt, and you would like screwing me too much." He said lightly, relaxing a bit. I looked at Billie Joe and bit my lip to hold back the laughter. The bus stopped and Mike and Tre both stood up to get off. Tre ruffled my hair as he walked past.
"See you guys tonight!" He said and Mike shoved him off the bus, waving back to us. I sighed and shook my head.
"We really need to get some mature friends." I said.
"Yeah," replied Billie Joe. His face lit up.
"Did I tell you?" I shook my head.
"Sweet Children got a gig at Gilman's! It's on Sunday, want to come?"
"Bill that's great!" I said hugging him. They'd been trying for a few months to get a gig at Gilman's.
"Of course I'm gonna show!." The bus slowed to my stop and I stood up.
"Congratulations! Call me later to set up tonight!" I said and walked towards the front. I waved good bye to him and the bus rolled on past me.
I looked at the sky as I walked home. Looks like it's going to rain again. Oh great!
