Another Story About This Subject, chapter 2
Next day 2pm
Today is all about lazing around, actually I've been doing that a lot lately. Amy is being an idiot, as usual. Lana is trying to make new tunes on the acoustic and me, I'm just sitting staring at a blank tv.
"Hey Tam watch you watching?" Amy says jumping off the couch, she was just recently jumping on it, for the past half hour.
"I'm watching the latest episode of Sesame Street, today they are teaching me the colour black."
"I thought they taught numbers and letters."
"They have been doing that for like 40 years then they decided that the kids are growing up and they need to learn colours."
Lana laughs a bit. Amy sits on the couch immatating my sitting position. I rest my head on my hand. She does the same. I lye on the couch upside down. She does the same. Damn it she is copying me again. The phone rings and she jumps straight up. "I'll get it! I'll get it!" she screams running to the other side of the house.
"Why she so happy?" Lana asks.
"Well we have been sitting around all day just repeating our actions so I guess a phone call is a blessing for her." I explained.
"Sorry I wasn't listening."
"Well sorry I'm not repeating myself." Lana gives me a confused look and goes back to strumming the guitar.
Amy runs into the room again with the phone in her hand. "Tam it's for you... it's some guy named Joey." she said in a three year old voice. I fell off the couch and quickly stood up. She handed me the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey it's Joey from yesterday."
"Hey." Amy starts pretending to make out with herself to piss me off. "Um, can you hang on a bit Joey?"
"Yeah sure."
I picked up one of the couch pillows and threw it at Amy's head. She pretends she gets hit really hard and falls onto the fall pretending she is dead. I walked over her and into my room. "Sorry I had to kill Amy."
"Amy?"
"Room mate, band mate and best friend."
"Oh ok."
"So what'd you wanna ring me for?"
"Oh yeah, do you want to go to the movies or something tonight?"
"Yeah that'd be great."
"Cool so I'll pick you up at 7?"
"Ok. See you then."
"See ya."
I hung up and smiled to myself. This guy sounds really nice, I just hope he isn't some weirdo who wants to rape me or something. Oh well I'll guess I'll see what happens.
Joey POV
I hung up. I sit on the couch for a while thinking. My thoughts are interupted when Mark walks in and turns on the tv. "I was thinking you know." I said.
"Oh sorry if I interupted little baby's thoughts." He mocked me. I rolled my eyes and started watching the tv.
"I bet you were thinking about naked chicks anyways." he laughed.
"Bullshit that's your head!"
"Is not!"
"How come I found all these porno magazines in your wardrobe then?"
"How'd you find that?!"
"I needed to borrow a shirt last week remember?"
"Ass." I chuckled and went back to watching tv.
Tamara POV 7pm
I was waiting for Joey to come. I had my old black crop top on with a skull with wings on it, some jeans and black conversers. I put my usual eyeliner on but I had that on anyway. I hope this guy is punk too otherwise he isn't going to like me very much, for god's sake I hope he doesn't like that rap crap. Lana walked in and sat next to me.
"Are you sure you wanna start going out again so quick?" she asks cautiously.
"Yeah, anything to get Glenn off my mind." I reply.
"Did you actually find out why he dumped you?"
"Yeah."
"And?"
"He started liking that hooker he had."
"He had a hooker?"
"Well I saw him with someone that looks like some hooker at the mall a few days ago."
"Shit did he actually move here?"
"Well he had plane tickets and everything, thank god he got a different house though otherwise he would be our room mate."
"Scary."
We stopped talking when I heard a car beeping. That must be Joey.
"Good luck." Lana says while I open the door.
"Thanks." I say as I walk out. I hear Lana and Amy talking when I was shutting the door.
"Where is she going?" Amy asks.
"Movies." Lana replies.
"How come?"
"Joey asked her on the phone."
"Why can't I go?"
"Because you are an idiot!" I laugh and get into the car.
10pm
Joey and I just got out of the movies, we were now at Starbucks. I've never been to one before so it was all new to me.
"So you into punk?" Joey asks.
"Yeah." I reply.
"Thank god." I laugh.
"Don't worry I hate all that rap and pop crap."
"Don't get me started."
We talk a bit more. This guy can't be a raper he is way to nice. It is weird 'cause he isn't saying his last name. Oh well.
12pm
He walks me to the door of my house. "I had a really good time tonight." he says.
"Same."
There was silence, we both stutter a bit. We don't know what to do.
"Listen what about we just hug." I said while laughing. We hug and pull away.
"Does this mean we are going out?" he asks.
"I think so."
"I'll see you soon then."
"Ok see ya."
I walk into the house and smile to myself again. I walk into the lounge room. Amy is asleep on the couch and Lana is watching Date Movie.
"How was it?" she asks looking up from the tv.
"Good." I sigh as I sit down.
"Did you tell him about the band and you know, famous?"
"No I'll see if he likes me for who I am first."
"That's my girl."
"What happened to her?" I point at Amy.
"We were watching Titanic and she fell asleep so I changed movies."
"But I love Titanic."
"Yeah but she finds it boring."
I laugh and decide to go to bed.
Joeys POV
I enter the apartment and put the keys on the kitchen table. Mark was drinking soft drink on the couch with some late night comedy on the tv.
"So rate the girl out of 10." He says looking at me as I sit next to him.
"I don't know I just met her." I laugh
"Did you tell her about your dad?"
"No I don't want to make a girl like me just because of my dad."
"Smart choice."
