Dreams come true!, chapter 1
This story is taking place when Green Day are all 18. The story may not be the same as real life but I will try my best!
*Billie's pov*
I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I groaned and pulled myself out of bed. Today was the day I was dropping out of high school!. I took a shower and pulled on some jeans (with a studded belt), a black sex pistols t-shirt, eyeliner of course and some converse. I grabbed a piece of toast down stairs, said bye to my mom and left the house. Did I mention I am in a band?. well we used to be called sweet children, then we changed it to Green Day, i know what your thinking the day kids go get high on drugs. Anyway, we recently we lost our drummer Al, since he applied to a college (he doesn't know what he's missing). We were playing at Gilman street one day, and after when we went to the bar we saw some guy in the Lookouts, I thought his name was Tre or something but when he got off stage he seemed kind of down. we asked him what was wrong and he told us that was the Lookouts last performance and they were breaking up. This was our chance to build the band back up again, so we asked him to join Green Day since we were looking for a drummer and he seemed awesome! He said yes! So this brings us to our presesnt day where we are now. Playing at each others houses, doing gigs at Gilman, we really hope to make it one day.
So anyway, I walked over to the bus stop and met up with Mike (on bass), and Tre (oviously on drums). I'm on the guitar and lead vocals in case you were wondering. We all said hi at the same time. Freaky. Tre was his normal hyped up self talking about crap, like when he went to his uncles farm and saw bird that looked like he had a plaster on his nose. We got on the bus and sat right at the back. We were talking about upcoming gigs when Tre said "I've managed to book a gig at Gilman tonight you up for it?." Tre can be so stupid sometimes!
"Hell yes!" I shouted. When we got to school I told Mike and Tre that I was dropping out to concentrate on the band. They didn't realy seem to care, I just thought about what I would tell my mom.
First lesson was math, I had that class with Tre! Atleast I won't be bored I told myself. We got there, and sat down. Time was passing so slowly, so tre amused
himself by making stupid noises. " subba bubba!" he shouted. the teacher turned around looked at Tre but turned around again and went back to the boring lesson.
I couldn't be bothered to go to 2nd lesson so I decided to skive off and smoke pot behinde the school. Tre and Mike wanted to join me, so we sat down and passed the joint around. When we were all high, I heard foot steps behinde me.
'Oh shit,' I thought to myself. It was the head master.
"Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Pritchard, and Mr. Wright get to my office NOW!" We walked in and took our seats, he began lecturing us about our health and about bunking off. This went on for ages when he finally said "You will recieve 2 months detention all of you!"
"Good because I'm leaving this shit hole anyway" I shouted
"Fine, go ahead. but that still applies to Tre and Mike" He Said
"If Billie goes we are going to" they both said.
I was shocked at this but at least I knew someone was there for me. We stormed out of the shitty school grounds and waved good bye stupidly at the preps and chavs. We went back to my house to practice. When I got in there was a note from my mom saying she had to work an extra shift and there was money for pizza on the fridge. We ordered 3 large pizza and got beer! When the pizza arrived Tre nearly bit the pizza man.
"Gimme gimme gimme!" he shouted at him. the pizza man thought he was crazy and ran off. After we finished eating, we got off our lazy asses and started to practice for the preformance at gilman street tonight. The band had already made an album called 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours when John was in the band but that didn't get us noticed the way we wanted to be. Anyway Gilman was like a second home to us, we played there any chance we could get.
We began playing "Paper Lanterns", we opened up the first chords and played all the way through.
* Tre's pov*
I'm so glad they recruited me as their drummer. I believe we could actually get somewhere. Billlie Joe is an awsome song writer. I can't wait for the show at gilman tonight. I can't believe we don't have anymore more high school! No more slaggy bitches, I bet they thought I was hot, who wouldn't? I'm the sexiest thing alive!. We finished the last song, "The Judge's Daughter." It was an hour before we needed to leave. We loaded up our van and just watched tv untill it was time to go. We parked in our normal space and walked back stage ready to go on. Billie had already planned what songs we were playing. we were on in 5 mins. There was a quite a few people here tonight. You could tell there were some newbies because they were stood in the middle of the crowd not know what to do. We are gonna show them what music is really made of, we are gona rock the crowd. We walked out on stage when someone called us and Billie said his normal "thank you for comings." Then mike played the opening bass line to I was there. I was right, we rocked the crowd for an hours and a half.We finished with At the library. when we got off stage and went to the pub at the front. We were sat having a beer and smoke when i saw someone approach us.
*Billie's pov*
I started downing a beer when I saw someone approach us. The man walked closer, so I guess he wanted to talk to us. I sat up straight and watched him walk over. "Are you Green day" the man said
"Yeah we are" I asked "why"
"You were really good out there. My name is Mark. I'm from Reprise records and I'm gonna make you a deal!"
