Rock and Roll Middle School, chapter 17
I got up off my bed and grabbed the phone. I dialed Billie Joe's number.
"Hello?"
"Hi Billie."
"Hi Tess, what's going on?"
"Nothing. Billie, I really want to get our tickets back."
"I know. Hey, do you want to go for a drive?"
"Ok Billie..."
"I'll pick you up in 10."
I put on some decent clothing and waited out on my porch for Billie.
His beat down car clanked up my driveway. I got up off the stoop and hopped in the passenger side. "Hey Bill," I said as I fastened my seatbelt.
"Hi Tess....ummm we have to get some tickets," Billie said.
"UH. DUH!!!!" I screeched.
"Don't get all pissy with me," Billie said in a comical way.
We just drove along randomly, listening to the stupid radio. Until, I Want You around came on. Billie turned it up and we sat there bopping our heads. Then the radio announcer came on, "Hey you cats! We have a deal for you! You know the up and coming Ramones concert? Well! We have TWO tickets and backstage passes for the first cat who phones in with the name of the album that this song is on."
"BILLIE! WE NEED TO GET TO A PHONE!!!!!" I screeched. I spotted a pay phone on the side of the road. I took control of the wheel and pulled the car to a vacant parking spot. Billie just sat their in astonishment.
There was a man using the payphone. "Honey, what I'm trying to say is...." the man said as I flung him out of the phone booth and toards Billie Joe. "Will you marry me?" he finished as I flung him into Billie's arms.
"Sorry, you're not my type," Billie said.
"Hello?"
"Hi Billie."
"Hi Tess, what's going on?"
"Nothing. Billie, I really want to get our tickets back."
"I know. Hey, do you want to go for a drive?"
