Rachina, Green Day And I, chapter 13
***THURSDAY NIGHT***
* Kym’s POV *
When I went shopping with Rachel to buy a dress for tonight, and I had the hardest time choosing one! They were all too girly, too boring, or TOO LONG!!! I wanted something that looked fancy, but was still ‘me’. Eventually, I found something that looked fancy, and was so totally me! It was a skinny, leopard print dress, with thin black straps, which finishes just above my knees. To go with it, I got a fluffy, white jacket, and borrowed Rachel’s black, strappy shoes. I also borrowed her hair straightener and begged her to do my hair for me. Luckily, all of my face bruises were gone, and my lip had gone back to its normal size. I still had a bit of blue in my cheeks, but I covered it with foundation. Normally, I don’t like using foundation or powder, but I needed it tonight. I lined my eyes with black, but not as thick as I usually do and I applied my fave lipgloss. I spent more time getting ready for tonight, than I did for the formal, which was the only other occasion I ever made an effort for. The doorbell went. Rachel hated it, but I didn’t mind. She was always saying she’d disable it one day, but she still hasn’t. I heard my mum open the door, and greet Billie Joe.
“She’s still in her room getting ready.� She told him.
“Ok, thanks,� I heard footsteps coming in the direction of my bedroom door. Instead of just barging in, Billie Joe knocked on my door politely.
“Hey babe,� he said.
“Hey,� I said, smiling.
“You ready to go?� he asked. He was so sweet!
“Yep,� He escorted me down the hall.
“Bye mum, bye dad!� I shouted as I left.
“What time will you be back?� my dad asked, not that he really cared.
“I dunno!� I said back.
“Ok, have fun.� See? I told you he didn’t really care.
“I like your dress,� Billie Joe complimented.
“Thanks. You look really good tonight too.� I said back to him. He just smiled at me. I loved it when he smiled, he looked even hotter. A noticed how much taller I was than usual; it must have been Rachina’s shoes. Since he’s kinda short for a guy, I guess that makes me very short. I’d always been short, it was one of the things people used against me, like the fact I was ‘obsessed’ with Green Day. There was a black limo waiting in the driveway. I’d only been in a limo once before, and that was for Tara’s birthday party a couple of years ago. She invited me, Laura, and Rachina. We four had always been friends, but not as long as me and Rachel. I didn’t see Laura much anymore, I guess she liked Rachel better. She didn’t really seem to fit in very well cuz she was a more…normal sort of person. I’ll explain it; Rachel was like the black sheep of the grade. Tara was the Goth. I was the out there, rebelling reject most people hated. And Laura was the one who like us, and our personalities, but wasn’t very different like us. She sort of held us all together. Anyway, back to the now.
Billie Joe and I were in the middle of a full on conversation, which I was really enjoying. I like the way he looked in my eyes when we talked, not at my chest, like most other guys did.
“Can you tell me where we’re going?� I asked.
“No! It’s a surprise, remember?!�
“Oh, come on! I’ll still act surprised!� I pleaded.
“No, it won’t be as special,� he said, hugging me.
“Ok,� I said, giving up. “Hey, could you teach me some guitar one day? I mean, I know most Green Day songs off by heart, but not all of them.�
“Of course. You’re really good at guitar,�
“Thanks,� I said, blushing. I hated it how I always blushed at the slightest thing around Billie Joe! I blushed when he kissed me, when he complimented me, and even slightly when he smiled at me. I guess I wasn’t used to guys being so nice to me.
“Hey, tell me something about you I don’t know,� he said, looking deep into my eyes.
“I hate it when I blush,� I said, grinning.
“Really? I think it’s cute,� he said. Ok, there I went again, blushing like an idiot.
“Thanks,� he smiled, and kissed me on the cheek. Billie Joe took a quick look out of the window and announced that we had arrived. He blindfolded me (I didn’t know he had a blindfold!!!) and helped he out of the car.
“Don’t make me walk into any poles or anything!�
“Ok, I won’t.� he said, with a sly tone. I really didn’t like blindfolds! All I could tell was that I was walking, and Billie Joe was leading me somewhere.
“Ok, you can look now!� he said, removing my blindfold.
“Wow!� I cried. Billie Joe had taken me to the premiere of ‘Boogyman’. (Just pretend it hasn’t been released yet)
“I thought you were taking me to dinner!� well, this was so much better.
“Yea, after the movie.� This really made me smile. I realised Rachel was the only person who’d ever seen me smile with my teeth. Well, the only person besides my dead parents.
* Billie Joe’s POV *
I thought she’d like it. I had planned to take her to ‘Pearls and Sand’ after the movie. Then after, I planned on maybe taking her for a walk along the beach. Yea, I know, more romantic than I usually was, but I hadn’t taken Kym out anywhere fancy, or even had a chance to show my romantic side. Kym and I talked until we got to the candy bar. Lol, yea, I call it a candy bar :P.
“What do you want?� I asked.
“Um, chicken teriyaki sushi please.� I ordered that for Kym, and the same for myself. Unfortunately, the person at the counter handed me two pairs of chopsticks which I had absolutely NO idea whatsoever how to use! I walked with Kym into the theatre where the movie would be shown.
“Uh, Kym, do u know how to use these things?� I asked.
“You mean the chopsticks?�
“Yea, the chopsticks.�
“Of course!� she said.
“Um, cause I don’t. Can you show me?� I asked, hoping I didn’t look like an idiot.
“Sure,� she demonstrated how to use them. Looked pretty easy. She showed me how to hold them properly, and corrected my grip when I got it wrong. Ok, not so easy. I attempted to pick up one of the little round pieces of food. Ok, not successful either. I ended up dropping it in Kym’s lap.
“Sorry!!!� I said. She started laughing. She brushed the sushi out of her lap, and used the her pair of chopsticks to carry a piece of sushi to my mouth. Oh great, I needed to be fed now. After I’d finished chewing my food, we both started laughing. Then I had an idea. I stuck my chopstick in one of the pieces of sushi, like a fork, and fed it to her.
“See? I’m so advanced, I only need ONE chopstick to get the food to my mouth!� I fake teased.
“Well at least I don’t need to be fed!� she joked. The lights dimmed, and the movie started.
* Kym’s POV *
The movie was scary; I was hiding my head in Billie Joe’s arm for most of the movie. When this would happen, he’d give me a reassuring hug, which meant I got hugged like 50 million times during the movie! Not that that was a bad thing. =). Anyway, after the movie, we left the building. Outside were several paparazzi with their huge cameras. That kinda freaked me out cuz I wasn’t photogenic…in my opinion. Anyway, Billie Joe and I posed for a couple of pictures. He put his arm around me for one, and kissed me on the cheek for another. I sort of liked all the attention we were getting. We then left in the limo that took us there, and soon arrived at ‘Pearls and Sand’, which was right near the beach. Dinner passed, and nothing extremely interesting happening. After dinner, Billie Joe payed for our meals and we left the restaurant.
“Do you want to go for a walk?� he offered.
“Sure,� I answered. Besides, a walk on the beach sounded nice. I removed my shoes and picked them up. I held my shoes in one hand, and Billie Joe’s hand in the other. He smiled at me and pulled me closer. Instead of holding my hand, he wrapped his entire arm around my shoulders, and smiled at me. I smiled back. It was perfect, like one of those soppy, lame, romantic movies, except so much better cuz it didn’t have the lame music and cheesy lines. He leaned in, and kissed me lightly on the lips. I moved around so I was facing him, and continued the slow kiss. Suddenly, from behind I heard…
