Was it necessarily wrong to fantisize about Billie Joe while he was sitting right across friom her? That is what Jovie was trying to debate with herself as she watched him talk to Tre and Mike about their upcoming concert. She was completely lost in her fantasies about Billie Joe and herself, until school let out.
"Jovie!" shouted Adam, running to catch up to her on the way home from school.
Jovie stopped in her tracks. "Howdy."
Adam stopped running, trying to catch his breath he grabbed her in frustration. "I have been chasing you for three blocks, and you just ignored me! What the fuck is your problem? Are you okay? Or are you pissed? Are you pissed at me or is it Zo again or Em? What the hell!?"
Jovie looked down, and then turned around to see if anyone was watching them. There was nobody. "Will you walk me home?"
Adam blinked. "Yes." They walked off together.
"So that's your problem? You pissed at Billie Joe still?"
"No. No. No. No, No. No. No. I told you it's not his fault, he does not even know that I am still in love with him! It is very frustrating, and today he just looked so sexy today too. And I swear to God as my witness, he looked at me and he was so sad, like he was just going to give up on me and find a better girl, and that is so easy Adam! So easy."
"Jovs, he'll never give up on ya, and ya know that..."
"Adam!" screamed Jovie at Adam in frustration, he just was not going to get it. "What the hell would you prefer in a girl huh? A warrior for a gang war that has more scars than anybody at school and has to wear clothes that cover more than half her body? You don't get it because-"
Adam interrupted her and slapped her in the face! "No Jovs, you don't get it! You have no idea what guys find attractive, because you are not a guy and you are so stupid! God Jovie! The other day, I heard Billie Joe talking about you and how much he is in love with you and all the shit he wants to do with you! You realize how hard it is for him to keep it a secret from you? He can't do it all alone! I feel so bad for both of you guys because you are both in love with each other and you can't do anything about it! And when he does say something nice to you you have to ignore it! I am so sorry I slapped ya, but, I did have to get the point across."
Jovie looked at Adam in shocked silence. "He is in love with me for real? What did he say?"
Adam shrugged. "You know, the ususal."
"No, I don't know or I wouldn't have asked. You said things he wanted to do with me, like what? Sex stuff? What then?"
Adam started to shake as he looked at his curious, young friend. He knew that he could not even begin to tell her all the things that Billie Joe had said, because he would make the porno indusry look G-rated. No kidding.
"Adam!" shouted Jovie, "You better tell me or I'm gonna ask him."
"Jovs," began Adam, trying to think of a way to tell her, not without hurting her feelings. "Just the normal, 'I wanna fuck her brains out' stuff. He would kill me though, because I was spying on him when he said all this stuff."
"First of all, why were you spying? Second, is that all? Third, who was he talkin' to about me to? Last of all, was he really sincere?"
"I was spyin' because I had nothing better to do, and it was Friday and I did not have a date or anything, all my homework was done and then some, and you and Zoe and Em were having a slumber party as usual. Therein is question one."
Jovie blinked. "Question two?"
Adam took a deep breath, "Yes. Number three, I don't know the guy, you might know him though, he was at the Berkeley Punk House, where you used to visit Billie when you were his."
Jovie thought about it for a moment. "Was he big and muscle bound, with a black ponytail and several tatoos?"
Adam tried to remeber. "Yes."
"Eggplant."
"Yeah. And God, Jovie if you could have seen him. He was dripping with sincerity. Didn't he write that song '1,000 Hours' for ya?"
"Yes. Are you sure he wasn't just acting?"
"Postive, cause all he did was talk about you."
Jovie thought about Billie Joe and Eggplant, she did not know what they said about her that day at the Punk House when she came that first day. She did however remeber the Punk House and how she wanted to live there, before The Man recruited her. She missed the good old days.
"Adam?"
"Yeah?"
"Let's go to Zo's, kay?"
"Kay." As they walked off together, both thinking about what they had been discussing, they both knew without telling the other, that Billie Joe was not going to find out.
If they had paid more attention, they would have realized that he was watching them, from somewhere nearby, and heard every word.
"Jovie!" shouted Adam, running to catch up to her on the way home from school.
Jovie stopped in her tracks. "Howdy."
Adam stopped running, trying to catch his breath he grabbed her in frustration. "I have been chasing you for three blocks, and you just ignored me! What the fuck is your problem? Are you okay? Or are you pissed? Are you pissed at me or is it Zo again or Em? What the hell!?"
