A Day On The Green, chapter 10
‘Hey Billie Joe. You ahh wouldn’t happen to know where Tre is would you?’, Steph asked Billie Joe at his locker. He looked down at the shorter girl for a moment almost assessing her before he answered.
‘Nope, haven’t seen him since first period’, Billie Joe told her. Steph pushed her hair up at the back a little making it sit more spike and messier than usual and then fixed her fringe a little.
‘Well do you know where I could find him?’, she asked playing around with the straps on her shirt.
‘Why do you wanna find him so badly?’, Billie Joe asked, shoving some stuff in his locker.
‘No you can’t have your locker like that’, Steph told him forgetting about the question she had just asked. She pushed him away and started putting his text books in piles to they could easily be found packing everything to that it fitted nicely. Billie Joe stood closely behind her watching her do so. She turned around so that she was facing him.
‘Okay now that that’s clean. Do you know where I can find Tre? I have something to give him’, she explained, letting her words be not to direct.
‘How big is it? I mean what you wanna give him?’, Billie Joe asked.
‘Letter size’, Steph replied.
‘The pop it in his locker and he’ll find it at the end of the day’, Billie Joe told her, taping on the locker next to his.
‘You sure he’ll find it? His lockers not as bad as yours is it?’, she asked, about to push the letter inside.
‘No Tre has a very clean locker. You’d be surprised’, he told her, watching the letter drop though the vent into the locker. His heart skipped a beat wondering what she had written.
‘Well can you make sure he like, goes to his locker today? Sometime?’, she asked the taller boy looking down at her. Billie Joe nodded.
‘Actually come spend lunch with me. We’ll go talk about stuff and we might run into him’, Billie Joe suggested, walking away to the cafeteria with Steph by his side.
-The Cafeteria-
The two of them sat down in their usual booth seats. The loser seats, but this really didn’t bother them.
‘So, how was your night with Tre?’, Billie Joe asked her not speaking with her about it before now.
‘It was alright. Why did Tre say something about it?’, she asked curiously, playing around with her food.
‘No I just wanted to know. All he said was that he enjoyed it and that he’d do it again’, Billie Joe told her, stabbing his fork into his veggie lasagne before he spun it around on his plate.
‘Oh, okay then, well just between you and me, I did enjoy it. I haven’t been out like that in ages’, Steph told Billie Joe who almost chocked on his food.
‘I see’, he said quietly, ‘So you two are going out again tonight?’, he asked, moving his feet closer to hers underneath the table. He rested them with his toe up leaning on his heals.
‘Yeah we might. That’s another reason I wanna talk to him’, Steph explained, feeling Billie Joe rub his shoe against her leg, just above her ankle. She moved her legs back and crossed them.
‘So, you doing anything tonight?’, she asked a little creped out about his actions before.
‘No I’ll probably just go home, lie down on my bed and eventually fall asleep’, he told her.
‘Awe all alone?’, she asked laughing.
‘Well yeah probably. Oh well I should have a study thing but you know’, he told her.
‘You want me to help you study, I don’t think Tre and I are doing anything tonight’, she offered.
‘Really? I mean......sure. Ahh my place around like 10-ish’, he suggested.
‘Sure, I’ll be there’, she told him smiling at the thought of Billie Joe being all alone before they were both joined at the booth by Tre.
.
‘Hey I was looking for you before’, he told her taking a seat next to her.
‘I was looking for you as well’, she told him, letting him pick up her hand. She smiled sweetly as Billie Joe shifted uncomfortably and nervously in his seat.
‘Oh yeah, anyways I have this art thing I have to do tonight with Mike so, we can’t go anywhere tonight, but I found out that Laura is gonna be at the battles tomorrow so you have to be there with me’, Tre told her, almost running out of breath.
‘Yeah Tre, that’s cool. The girls are coming with me as well’, she told him. Tre let out a deep breath.
‘Good, I don’t know what I’d do without you’, he said giving her a light kiss on the cheek. Steph giggled and gave Tre a hug before the bell rang for end of lunch.
‘Well I guess I’ll see you boys later than’, she said, getting up before they exchanged goodbyes and left walking off in different directions.
‘Billie Joe come with me, I don’t have my geography text, I need to get it from my locker’, Tre told him.
‘BINGO!’, Billie Joe thought, ‘A chance to see what Steph wrote about Tre without her knowing’,..
‘Nope, haven’t seen him since first period’, Billie Joe told her. Steph pushed her hair up at the back a little making it sit more spike and messier than usual and then fixed her fringe a little.
