James, chapter 1
He quickened his pace as he walked out of the back of the school, looking back over his shoulder to make sure that no one had followed him. He walked along the brick wall of the school until he found a suitable place to spend the after noon.
He plopped down onto wet dewy grass, reaching into his back pocket of his pants pulling out a pack of cigarettes. The teenager opened the cardboard box took out a cigarette and then placed the pack back into it's original spot. He then pulled out a lighter and lit the cig up, and place it in between his lips feeling that 'oh so savory feeling'. Removing it from his mouth to let the smoke flow into the hot summer's air.
Just then a guy appeared coming around the corner walking towards him. "Hey," said the boy as he looked up to see the guy sitting there, and kept walking towards him.
"Hey," said the boy, as he took another drag on the cigarette.
"Mind if I join you?" asked the boy as he sat down against the rough brick wall, and pulling out a cigarette of his own.
The guy had long brown curly hair, was sort, and had green eyes. Then boy recognized the older guy but, couldn't exactly place where he had seen him before.
"Not at all."
"So what are you skipping?" asked the long haired boy.
"English, you?" as he pulled the fag from his mouth and exhaled the smoke.
"History."
"hmm."
Silence passed them for a couple of minutes. As they both stared into space. Both taking long drags on their cigarettes.
"Hey what's you name?" asked the boy rubbing a hand through his dyed red hair, and breaking the silence,
"Billie." responded the boy, putting out his cigarette, and taking out another one.
"Mine's James."
The two boys almost jumped out of their skins when they heard someone else coming around the corner. They both relaxed to find that it was just another guy skipping out.
"For fuck's sake Mike," cried out Billie Joe , "Why did you have to go and do that? You almost made me shit my pants.
"Oh, Sorry BJ," said Mike looking up at the two wide eyed teenagers. Walking with his hands in his pockets.
"What took you so long? I've been waiting forever." complained Billie. As Mike joined them along the wall.
"I got held up by Mrs.Halloway, she saw me leaving the school. And wanted to know where I was going." responded Mike.
"How did you get out of it this time?" pried Billie. With interest on what kind of lie Mike told.
"I told her my mom called the school and told me to come home. It was an emergency." said Mike shielding his eyes from the sun with his hand.
Mike then laughed as he saw that his friend had an confused look on his face.
"It's the best I could come up with, she was pressuring me," said Mike in defense. To see now that Billie was shaking his head.
Billie changed the subject.
"Are you going to Gilman tonight, cause you-"
"Wait a minute, I don't fucking believe it, your in that band... umm... what's their name?... .Sweet Children... yea, that's it, " interrupted James.
The two friends then turned their attention to him. With slit eyes.
"Yea, Do you go to Gilman Street?" asked Mike with a faint smile.
"Fuck yea, doesn't Operation Ivy have a gig there tonight?" he questioned excitedly.
"Yes they do, and we're going to be there tonight," said Billie, "that place is going to be fucking crazy tonight!"
Billie was thankful that someone that went to his school besides Mike and him, actually went to the club.
"They are awesome," said James. Mike and Billie both nodded in agreement.
"Oh yea, Mike this is James," said Billie while motioning to both of them with his cigarette.
"Nice to meet you," said the bassist.
"hmmm," said the teenager taking out and already rolled joint and lighting it up. Then taking a long drag on it letting the smoke stay in until he couldn't take it anymore . He offered it to the other two, which they both accepted with out hesitation.
After they finished the joint and a couple more. School was about out., and James also noticed he also had to be at work in 20 minutes.
"I got to be heading on," said James standing up. Not sure if they heard him, "So I'll see y'all later at the Operation Ivy gig tonight."
"Yea we'll definitely be there," Said Mike with reassurance.
"Later, man," said Billie Joe as he finished the last of the joint they were sharing.
He walked out of the school gate, and headed down to the restaurant at which he worked at.
