Rachina, Green Day And I, chapter 17
***MIKE, TRE AND BILLIE JOE AT LUNCH THE NEXT DAY***
* Billie Joe’s POV *
I was meeting the guys for pizza. When I arrived, they were both sitting inside talking and laughing, like usual. I walked up to them and sat down.
“Hey guys. Did I miss anything?� I asked.
“Yea! When we were ordering, Mike was trying to not embarrass himself or anything, and the person came up and were like ‘I’m a big Green Day fan’ and stuff, you know, the usual. Anyway, Mike was being really nice, the girl complimented him, and he did a huge fart!!!� Tre said, and then burst out laughing. I laughed too, it was pretty funny!
“I did not!� Mike objected. “It was the chair. I moved the chair, and it made a farting noise!�
“Sure Mike, whatever.� I said, still laughing. Mike had always been shy around girls and it sounded like the sort of thing that would happen to him. Waiting for our pizza to arrive, the boys and I talked about our girlfriends, and eventually, the conversation swayed to yesterday.
“Seriously Billie Joe, why’d you have to leave my room in such a huge mess? I mean, there was god knows what left on my sheets!� Tre exclaimed. It wasn’t my fault!
“I didn’t mean to! We just got caught up in the moment. Plus there was nothing else to do.�
“So? You do know there are other ways to keep busy,� Mike said.
“I know that! We were both really bored, and it did pass the time.�
“Anyway, why are you and Kym, like always all over each other?� Tre asked.
“What do you mean?�
“Well, like Tara said she and Rachel walked in on you two making out in Kym’s room, yesterday when you ‘kept yourselves busy’, and like how you slept with her on the same day you met her!!!� Tre said.
“Well how could I not be all over her?! I love her so much!� I said. It was true.
“Fair enough, can you just NOT do ‘it’ in my bedroom next time? Especially if everyone else is just in the next room. I mean, what if I needed to go in there to get something?�
“Then you’d have to block you eyes.� I pointed out. Then, the pizzas were brought to our table.
“Thanks,� Mike said. Good, they ordered vegetarian pizza for me. For the first couple of bites, we three sat in silence, until Tre decided he wanted to start a conversation.
“Do you think Kym actually did beat up all those guys Rachel said she did?� Tre asked.
“I don’t doubt it.� I said.
“Me either.� Mike agreed.
“Yea, but it makes her sound really tough and she looks so innocent and kind! I mean, even her tone of voice!� Tre continued.
“So? You should believe it! Remember Danny? You didn’t even see what he did to her! What I’m trying to say is, if she didn’t put up a fight, he probably wouldn’t have beaten her so bad.�
“Yea, you’re probably right.�
“Is it true he bashed her with a wooden plank?� Mike asked.
“Yep. Rachel saw it with Kym’s blood on it. Also, there were several marks on her stomach that looked like they were from the wood.� Tre said. After that, we talked about our music, and the song we were working on. After lunch, we said goodbye, and I got into my car, ready to drive off when someone stopped me. I turned around and there was a little girl standing there with a piece of paper and a pen. She must have only been about 8 or 9.
“Um, can I please have your autograph?� she asked, blushing.
“You know who I am?� I asked.
“Yea. You’re Billie Joe from Green Day. I like listening to Holiday on the radio, but my mum doesn’t like your music very much.� She said.
“Ok. Um, what’s your name?�
“Stephanie� she said quietly. I took the paper and pen and wrote ‘To Stephanie. Keep on listening and tell your mum you met me. With love, Billie Joe.’ and I signed it underneath.
“Here you go.� I said handing her the piece of paper and pen back.
“Thank you!� she said, and ran off. I smiled to myself, got in my car, and drove off.
