Becoming Famous, chapter 1
I looked around the room filled with teenagers most from school, it was another Friday night and my band and me took the stage. I began to play a song a wrote.
The crowd was yelling stuff out but I could not wear anything above my voice and the music. After the first song I did a quick scan of the room to see who was here. It looked normal expect these 3 guys trying to dress like Green Day. Wow they really do look like Billie Joe, Mike and Tre, I thought.
"Hey mister where you heading.........." I sang 'Hitchin A Ride'.
Opps I thought better pat attention to my singing and my guitar, I thought.
Two hours later Macca (the bass player), Roxy (the drum player) and I were packing up when the manger, Steve of the Underage Underground Nightclub rushed up to us.
"Hey guys," said Steve.
"Hey," Roxy said.
"Here's your pay," Steve said handing us each a cheque.
"Thanks," I said.
"Oh before you leave could you come to my office?" Asked Steve.
"Um...sure," said Macca.
"OK great see you soon," said Steve rushing off.
"It's 1am, we are so tired, the club is closed and Steve wants to see us in his office????" Roxy exclaimed.
"I knew you'd get in trouble Jess," Macca smiled at me.
"Me? What for?" I asked.
"For all that swearing last week when Steve was away and that other guy was here," Macca replied.
"What did I swear about....�? I began but Steve walked past us.
"Today guys," He said.
"OK we are coming," called Roxy.
"I guess we better go," said Macca, running his fingers through his hair.
"Yeah, come on Roxy," I said.
"I'm coming," She said following me.
Macca knocked on Steve's office door.
"Come in," said a voice that did not sound like Steve's.
I opened the door and walked in and gasped at what I saw.
It was those guys dressed like Green Day.
Then I looked again. It was GREEN DAY!!!!
"Oh my god," Roxy managed to get out.
"Oh hi guys," Steve walked in.
"I see you made it to my office," He teased us.
There was no sound coming from us.
"Err.... yeah," said Macca.
"Anyway you are here because of you!" Said Steve.
"What the fuck?" I asked Roxy under my breath.
Billie Joe looked at me.
"What he means is we have been looking for a band to promote for something different to do. We have been secretly been going to your gigs and we have decided to promote you guys. It means making an album, touring and stuff like that," said Billie Joe, I could tell he was totally excited.
"Wow," said Roxy.
