So Wrong But Feels So Right, chapter 3
“Ok, do you know anybody that could fix my car then before your little sis gets home?� Billie Joe asked. “Yeah, well…I could take a look at it, I’m a pretty good mechanic.� I replied, which was the truth, I loved to fix things, and my Grandpa Joe who worked as an automechanic, taught me a lot of things about cars and how to fix them. I was not that good of one, but I could not call my Grandpa Joe up because he had died of cancer. Plus, if he was alive, he lived all the way in the next city, and would not be able to get here in time before Julie got home. “Really?� Billie Joe asked, surprised. Then he added, “Well, then let’s go take a look at it.� I nodded in agreement and we both walked out the door to his car.
When we got to his car, I asked him, “Well, what do you think is wrong with it?� He smiled and said, “You tell me.� I love his smile!!!! I just smiled back at him. Then I took my blue Birdhouse skateboard out from the garage and layed on my back on it. Billie sat on the driveway next to the car, hands resting on his cheeks. Then I slid on the skateboard under the car and as I was trying to figure out the problem I was thinking, “Man, this is Billie Joe Armstrong’s actual car! Billie Joe from Green Day! I have to fix this car right!� Finally, I had found the problem and I skateboarded out from under the car and told Billie Joe what was wrong with it. He just smiled that sexy smile of his and said, “You’re pretty smart for a cutie.� “Oh… thanks,� I smiled, blushing. Then I slid back under the car and fixed the problem. Then after, I rolled out from under the car and got up off the skateboard. He held out his hand to me, and I took it and he pulled me up, but he did it a little too hard, and I ended up smacking heads with him. We both said, “Ow!� at the same time, and for some reason it was funny, so we both laughed.
Finally Billie Joe called Tre to tell him that he had gotten his car fixed, and when they hung up, he asked me, “Wanna go for a test ride?� “Sure!� I said excitedly, even though I knew that would so get me into trouble. But at the time…I just didn’t care! So I got into the passenger’s seat and he got into the driver’s seat, and we took off down the driveway. He started out at 30 miles an hour, and he was like, “Let’s hang out with our friends at the 10,� and he slowed down to 10 miles an hour as he was passing by an old woman and man, and he waved at them, but the old woman and man just stared at him like they thought he was some kind of jerk. I felt bad for old people because they had no idea what was cool and they can never get caught dead watching MTV. Even if they did, everyone would think they were odd. But as Billie Joe sped up to 35 miles an hour, we were both laughing. Then this dude with a Porsche came speeding up behind us as we were going 45 miles an hour, and he was tailgating us. The dude started honking his horn at us, and Billie Joe flicked him off in his mirror. Then the guy came up beside us and I couldn’t believe it, but Billie Joe started picking his nose with his left hand, and he flicked it at the dude. He didn’t see it, but it hit his windshield. YUCK!!!! As it did, Billie Joe said, “Woop, there’s Green Day for ya.� The dude finally passed, and me and Billie Joe were LAUGHING OUR HEADS OFF!!!!
We then pulled onto my road after, and Billie Joe pulled up my driveway to the house. We sat, still laughing, but then Billie reached over and kissed me on the lips!!!! I jerked away, surprised. I mean…hello? Like 11 years age difference! And he sat back, confused, and he said, “What’s the matter?� I said, “Oh, sorry, I was just so surprised,� I lied. Then he reached back over and we kissed on the lips again, this time, I did not jerk away. It seemed like forever. Finally, we sat back and he said, “You know…I’ve never known a girl so grown up and…it may seem wrong…but I think I love you babe.� I smiled and said, “Yeah…I love you too.� He took a pen from his dashboard and took my hand and wrote his cell phone number on my hand, and I wrote my cell phone number down on his hand. Finally I got out of the car and waved goodbye to Billie Joe, and he waved back and smiled. I smiled. I ran to the house with a spring in my step. Me and Billie Joe from Green Day are actually in love with each other!!!! This had been the best day of my life!!!! This was a dream come true!!!!
I held my breath as I opened the front door and let myself in the house. I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that no one was home. I was in such a good mood that I decided to make brownies, Julie’s favorite. As I was cracking the eggs in the bowl, I heard Julie come in, and she saw the brownie box and was like, “Yum…brownies!!!!� and I was like, “Yeah, your favorite!� When I had poured the brownie mix into the squares in the pan and put it in the oven, me and Julie played Old Maid with her cards. I wasn’t usually into Old Maid, but today I was really into it. Finally the timer set off, and I ran to the kitchen and took out the brownies with an oven mitt. Then I set it out on the counter to cool. I just picked at the brownies a little bit, because we’re not supposed to have brownies til’ after dinner.
When my mom and dad got home from work, my dad said, “Mmm…I smell something good.� We had a dinner of Tuna Helper, which I volunteered to cook myself. My mom complimented me as we were eating dinner, “Wow, you’re being awfully nice today. What happened that made you so happy?� “Oh…nothing.� I replied and smiled, and helped clean off the dinner plates and put out the plates for dessert. Then, I had forgotten what was written on my hand, and my mom saw it and said, “Um…Rene’e, what’s on your hand?�
When we got to his car, I asked him, “Well, what do you think is wrong with it?� He smiled and said, “You tell me.� I love his smile!!!! I just smiled back at him.
