"Time goes quickly when you're having fun.", chapter 2
1st period. Science with Mr Jones.
I walked into class. Jason had shown me where 'sci4' was, but he was in set 2. I was in set 4. Sir was already shouting at some one, but I couldn't see who. I walked round a bit. Shit. It was the blue haired boy. Oh and there is the girl, the leader. Sir had finished shouting and the boy had sat down next to cow.
"Ah. And you must he Sasha. Sasha Pinnock." Mr Jones said.
I grunted. 'Keyleigh' and her boyfriend were making out, that's what I'm calling her, seeing as though I didn't know her name.
"Felicity! Stop it. Move to the back... . NOW! Sasha, you can sit there."
Great. Next to him. I sat down.
"Soo. Who are you?" the boy asked, not at all sounding interested, and looking the other way.
"Mr Ar-" Sir started.
"Sir, it's $2-" the boy said.
"No talking in class."
$2 whoever made a hand gesture pretending to sip up his mouth. I rolled my eyes. He didn't look like a jock, but he was as arrogant as one.
"What?"
I turned away.
"Bitch." I heard him say. He turned back to a tall, blond haired guy. "God. Why do I have to sit next all the skanks?" The boy laughed. A silent tear fell down my face.
Break. I had just met Jason outside of English.
"Hey. You are going to meet Brendan, Chris and Kane. They're my main friends."
"Ok"
They turned out to be a bunch of geeks. I would have been willing to be friends, but they didn't like the way I dressed. Apparently I dressed like Billie, Mike and Tre, well, that's what I heard Chris saying to Jason, anyway... Fuck them.
The next 2 lessons I had with Jason: -Double Tech. We were gonna make a t-shirt. But first we have to do planning and all that shit.
Lunch. Finally I was gonna meet the famous Billie. I had heard his name lots through out the morning.
Jason and I were walking to the back of the school so I could meet Billie. I didn't know why we had to go to the back of the school, though.
"So, what's he like? Billie, I mean."
"What y'mean, you aint met him yet? He was in your science class" He did generally sound shocked.
"Oh." I didn't want to think about that lesson.
"Well, ok. Anyway, let me tell you about a little band called 'Sweet Children'. Billie's the guitarist and the lead vocals, Mike is their bassist and backing vocals and Tre is the drummer. They're all up their own arses. Tre even more so because the old drummer, John, has just left, and everyone wanted to be in the biggest band at Gilman Street..."
I had heard about Gilman Street. It sounded like a cool place where you could play music, or listen to it and I lived nearby. Jason carried on.
"..And obviously Tre got in. Now you can see why he's up his arse. And being the biggest band there meant that Billie and Mike are up theirs-"
"And Billie has a cow for a girlfriend?" I butted in.
"Wha? Oh yeah, Felicity, a complete cow. How-?"
"Old school, past experiences." I simply said. I had finally worked out that the blue haired guy was Billie Joe Armstrong because that self-centred whore would want the 'best' boyfriend. It was simple. A pretty slag. A band legend at Gilman. Obvious.
Jason was now carrying on. "Billie is also known as $2 Bill."
Yep, defiantly him.
"Why's he called that?"
"Well. It's because he sells joints for $2s." He looked concerned for my reaction.
"It's ok." For some reason, I trusted Jason and pulled out a couple of joints from my pocket.
"Woah." Jason was shocked. "Fuck. Well, um, you'll get on well with them, then."
"Doubt it"
"Uh?"
"Science"... He understood.
"So," I said breaking the silence, "Where are they?" We had been walking for about 5 minutes.
"Oh, well, cause they're smoking, they have to go right to the back of the school, where we're going, or out of school, so they don't get caught"
"Right." We were there, I could tell by the smoke. They were behind a broken wall. Behind the wall, I could tell, were some steps, which I though would lead down to some abandoned basement.
"I'll go first" Jason hurried out.
JASON'S P.O.V
I ran round the corner and down the steps into the small basement. A tall blond boy was standing with his back to me, which was Mike Dirnt, Billie was in the corner and a green haired boy with long spikes in the other. That was Tre Cool
"Hey guys." Shit. Obviously something had happened earlier, Sasha was hurt by it.
"So, what is it?" Billie said.
Shit.
"Well, it's actually someone."
"It can be anyone except that fucking skank of a new girl, she blanked me earlier, the bitch." Tre laughed. Mike suddenly jumped out of shock.
"Shit."
"What is it Mike?" I said.
Tre was laughing at Mike's shock, "Yeah Mike, what is it? Or are you gonna do a poo-poo in your pantys? Cuz, I don't want to clear it up, deary." Billie laughed at Tre's mommy voice.
"Fuck off Tre, Bill, do you know what you've just done?" Mike splurted out.
"Yeah, I talked and puffed."
Sasha came round from the corner and stood at the top of the steps.
"Nice to meet you too, Bill. Y'know, you don't even know me, so just don't judge me... y'know what... your pathetic." Sasha ran back round the corner and I could hear burst into tears, but they faded away as she got further from here. Billie looked calm.
"Y'know Bill, you are a proper bastard at times" Billie didn't move, not even for a puff, he just stared at me, and Tre just sniggered. Mike stood there. I ran after Sasha.
SASHA'S P.O.V
Oh God, oh God, oh God. Fuck. What am I gonna do? If it's like my old school, Billie will tell Felicity, then a whole load of shit will come out, mainly from her mouth. In other words, I'm buggered.
I take a joint out and light it. Bang goes 'light it up and take a puff and pass it to your friends'. I have no fucking friends.
"I have no fucking friends."
Shit. Jason's here. Did I really say that out loud?
"Hey... I'm your friend, Sash."
Jason came up, wiped the tears from my face, and hugged me, but he obviously didn't like the fact I was smoking. I felt a warm glow in me. I had a friend. After a while Jason broke the hug and spoke.
"Mike was weird just then."
"How?"
"He was just... quiet."
"D'you know what made him jump back then?"
"No. What did?"
"Me. I turned round, and looked into his eyes. He saw into mine."
"Well then he was lucky. You have beautiful, deep, green eyes."
"Stop it! I hate my eyes. Don't compliment me." Even more tears went streaming down my face.
"Fuck, whatever went on at your old school must've been bad, you're beautiful."
I calmed down. Jason hugged me again. Things were getting a bit intimate, but I didn't care, I had a friend. I still thought that I was ugly; nothing could change that at the moment.
