Whatever happened to Billie and I?, chapter 2
Adeline looked at the two guys standing in front of her, she looked at them, one had long-ish, shiny brown hair and piercing blue eyes, while the other one had messy, curly, shoulder length red-brown hair jumping out from underneath his cap, and striking green eyes. She frowned, what did they want? She realised then that they were the kids who put on the ' awesome act ' tonight.
"Good performance." she said and smiled, might as well be nice, she liked what she saw standing in front of her.
The green eyed one looked at her smile and she quickly closed her mouth, she hated her braces, but she was getting them taken off next week. He smiled at her, obviously he didnt mind. The one with the blue eyes had started talking to Taryn about cooking. That was quick, Adeline thought to herself, they only just started talking and already had she found a similar interest, but thats Taryn for you, she thought to herself, champion flirt.
"I'm Billie Joe and thats Mike." The green eyed one said and nodded to his friend who looked up, smiled and said "Nice to meet you." and then turned back to Taryn.
"I'm Adeline, and thats my friend Taryn." she replied, Taryn looked up, smiled quickly and then turned back to Mike.
It was quiet for a while, the two of them awkwardly stood beside Mike and Taryn who were stil happily chatting away.
"So... you play guitar?" Billie Joe asked, 'shit!' he thought to himself, 'she's carrying a fucking guitar Billie, duh!' The girl laughed,
"Yeh," she said, he looked at her eyes, they were dark brown with specks of gold in them, her eyeliner made them stand out. He looked at her body, it was slender, but fit. He felt something harden in his pants. 'oh fuck!' he thought, 'no, no, no, not now PLEASE!' he turned his body awkwardly to try and hide himself.
The girl looked at him, looked down and then quickly back up again, her eyes radiated pity, but enjoyment at the same time.
'Poor guy', she thought and looked at Billie Joe, his position seemed so strange it was comical. She decided to try and put him out of his misery.
"I noticed you play too." she said. "You have the same guitar as me."
"Yeh." Billie Joe replied, still standing awkwardly. "Although yours is in much better condition than mine." he laughed nervously.
"It's over in the corner there." he said and nodded his head back to the corner. She looked and saw a dark shape on the ground, half hidden by shadow.
"At least you have a case." she said and laughed. "I can't afford one."
"My dad gave it to me when I got the guitar." he said. She noticed the sparkles in his eyes dim and go sad. Something must have happened to his dad. 'fuck, Adeline! change the subject!' she thought to herself.
"So... how long have you been playing here for?" she asked.
"About a month," Billie Joe replied, he straightened up, the lump in his pants had gone. "we used to play for high school keg parties and youth clubs because they though we were too 'poppy' to play here, we used to play metal but we changed our sound because everyone was getting into it, and we were over it by then so we just thought, 'hey, these punk dudes are playing out of crappy instruments just like we own, we could do this!'"
She laughed. "We play metal, we have been wanting to change for a while but we dont want to lose our place here, I know that we can always come back, I mean, I'm not getting rid of my membership card, but I want to keep playing. There are so many awesome bands that play! But anyway, how did you end up getting to play here anyway?"
"Ha! well, that we have to thank to Al... our drummer, he used to play for Isocracy..." he smiled.
Her brow furrowed, "Al... Al... Al... is his real name John Kiftmeyer?"
The boy in front of her laughed. "Yep, thats him. He has this 'in' thing going on here. So, how long have you been playing here for?"
"Ummm..." She turned to her friend (who was still happily chatting to the blue eyed cutie) "Taryn!"
Her friend turned to her, a slightly disturbed look on her face. "What?"
"How long have we been playing here for?" Adeline asked.
"I don't know, a few months." Taryn turned back to Mike.
Adeline turned so she faced Billie Joe again. "What she said."
"How old are you?" Billie Joe asked out of the blue.
"Ummm..." She said, a bit startled. "Fifteen... why?... You?"
"Just wondering, sixteen." He replied.
'He doesnt look sixteen' she thought to herself. 'I guessed him to be at the most fifteen, oh well... cute'.
Their eyes met, she smiled awkwardly and then looked away. There was an awkward silence. Just then, a van roared around the corner, the tires squealed and screamed as it came to a stop in front of the group. Two older men and a kid around the same age as Billie Joe and Mike jumped out.
"Good performance." she said and smiled, might as well be nice, she liked what she saw standing in front of her.
The green eyed one looked at her smile and she quickly closed her mouth, she hated her braces, but she was getting them taken off next week. He smiled at her, obviously he didnt mind.
