The Girl Called Whatsername, chapter 1
Me and my cuz Allie had planned for a week to go to an Operation Ivy concert, but we just could NOT get any cheap tickets. Finally on the day of the concert, we were so disappointed we had just givin up. Finally, when Allie went to a college class that morning, she found someone that was selling 2 Operation Ivy concert tickets for that day for only $50 a piece! So she bought them and when she came over to my apartment after her class to tell me the good news, we both screamed!!! We were jumping up and down like crazy. I was so excited to go that I couldn't sit in one place, I was up and around like crazy the whole rest of the day. Finally at 7:00 I heard my doorbell ring I ran to it and opened up the door. It was Allie. She was in a black long slieved shirt, jean jacket, and jeans, and I was too; that was both our usual punk getup. She stepped in my apartment and asked, "Ok, Rene'e, ready to go?" The concert did not start 'til 8. "Um, yeah, but the concert doesn't start 'til 8." I told her. "Yeah, but we have to get a good spot." She reasoned. I just shrugged my shoulders and agreed. Then we walked out the door and we got in Allie's little old turqoise Taurus. Then all of a sudden I remembered the tickets and asked her in a frightened way, "Got the tickets?" "Yup" Allie said and patted her jean pocket. I breathed in a sigh of relief.
Then we drove off and we got there in about 15 minutes because it was not that far away. When we got there, the parking lot was already packed full of cars!!!! Allie was like, "What the fuck? It's only 7:19!" I was so excited that I just couldn't say anything. Finally we found a parking spot and got out of the car and walked to the ticket line. There was a long line to get inside the building.
Me and Allie waited for what seemed like hours! Then in front of us, this one dude with blonde short hair was getting turned down by the ticketman because he didn't have a ticket. Me and Allie could here him arguing with the ticketman, "Aw c'mon man! I'm with Jesse! What the fuck!" The ticket guy just kept shaking his head and finally pushed him out of line. He stumbled. Then the blonde guy said, "You know what, you suck!" And started swearing like heck at the guy. The back of his head kind of looked familiar, but I just couldn't see his face 'cause he was turned around.
I watched the guy as he just gave up and walked away from the ticketline, still facing the other way, and walked over to where a tree was turned around and sat down, leaning against it. As I recognized his face, I gasped in shock. Could it be??!!!! Yes, it was!!!! It was Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day, the hottest man on the universe!!!!! I just kind of stood looking at him in shock, and he looked back at me. We just kind of stared at each other for a minute. Was I dreaming?!!! Allie did not even stop to stare at the guy, she was just kind of staring at me, wondering what the heck I was looking at. She finally snapped her fingers in front of me and made me look the other way and said, "C'mon, we're up." and pointing to the empty space in between us and the ticketman. I snapped out of it, and we walked closer to the ticketman, and Allie dug in her pocket with her hands to pull out the ticket. She had this weird look on her face. She looked at me in horror. Then all of a sudden she pulled her hand out with no tickets. "What the fuck!" I said. "The tickets aren't in my pocket!" Allie said. She put her hand back in and dug. Still no tickets. She then tried opening her pocket wider, so we could see better. We both looked inside, and we realized in horror that there was a hole in her pocket!!!! She said, "No! What the fuck! How did I get this stupid frekin hole in my pants!!!" The ticketman stood looking at us impatiently. We started freaking out.
Finally the ticket guy said with a rude tone, "Ok, look ladies, if you don't have a ticket then step out of line, cause the show is supposed to start soon." We did. We just kind of stood there. Then Allie said, "Ok, we gotta look everywhere! Let's first follow our trail." "Ok." I said nodding my head quickly. We looked all around, everywhere; in the car, on the street, under cars...and we even peaked in peoples windows to see if they were there, even though we knew they couldn't possibly be in there. Finally we just gave up. Finally I decided to tell Allie about Billie Joe. "Look, Allie, I know that this is not really a good time, but there's something really cool I have to tell you." "What?" She asked, kind of annoyed. "Well, see that guy sitting against that tree." I said pointing to him. "Yeah" Allie replied. "That guy is...Billie Joe armstrong." She just stared at me in shock. "You're kidding, right?" She asked me, smiling. "No" I said, shaking my head and smiling. "Let's go talk to him!!!" She said, sounding really excited. "OK!!!!" I agreed happily.
My heart started beating really fast as we walked over to where Billie Joe was sitting. He was just looking down at the pavement, as if it was interesting. He looked up as we aproached...
Then we drove off and we got there in about 15 minutes because it was not that far away. When we got there, the parking lot was already packed full of cars!!!! Allie was like, "What the fuck?
