Restless Hearts, chapter 3
There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar.
"Ok, ok I'm coming," I said while rushing out the door with my costume and my CD.
"Hurry up!" Billie Joe said while trotting a little bit.
"Billie calm down ok?" I asked him while grabbing his arm.
"Sorry, a little hyper from those roga-whatever."
"Rogaliki?" I asked.
"Yeah, those things."
"Ok, I'm sorry," he said while we linked arms and was walking in silence.
"What are they doing here?" Tré asked while pointing across the street where a bunch of preps and jocks were staring at us. I was the same height as Billie Joe as I couldn't hide behind him.
"Oh look, there's the kid from Juvie Hall, I'm so scared," someone said. I just ignored them, I have a natural short temper but I just kept walking. This was all too similiar to the kind of treatment I got back in Polska.
"I hear she went there because she killed a girl," someone else whispered loud enough so I could hear them. Ok, that made me a little angry.
"Calm down Z," Billie Joe said while moving his hand down my arm that made me a little happier.
"Ooo, she's getting her little gay boyfriend to calm her down."
I was getting so mad now, it wasn't even funny. I put my hand in my pocket to fish out my pocket knife but Billie Joe held my wrist so I couldn't get it out.
"Don't," he simply said. I nodded and we got inside his house, where no one else was at. I just shook it off on how empty a house could be, then I remembered mine.
"Ok, I'll be right back," I said while hurrying to an open bathroom while changing into my costume. Whenever you belly dance, you have to wear a special costume that you made yourself, it can't be store brought or it won't 'have the same spirit. ' Weird, I know what what can you do?
I came out of the bathroom, kind of shyly while I peered out of the door before I felt myself being lifted and carried into a basement. I looked behind me and saw Mike, laughing to himself and carrying me down the steps. I didn't fight against him, or else we'd be hurt, so I just kind of hung out in Mike's arms. That sounded really weird.
"Um, mind putting her down Mike, I told you to get her, not carry her," Billie Joe laughed. Mike blushed and set me down quickly and I had to stumble around to get some balance. Then I blushed as I put in my CD in the stereo and got into my pose that I usually have to start dancing.
I closed my eyes and let the music take my feet away. So, I belly danced, if you had the first impression, you would think I was doing something inappropiate, because of the costume and how I was dancing.
The song ended and I smiled at them as they all had open jaws as I giggled.
"Wow, you are amazing," Mike smiled at me. I bit my lip and smiled at him as Billie Joe just kept staring at me.
"Um, well, do you want to hang around here a little bit?" Billie Joe asked while smiling.
"No thanks Billie, I would if I could, but I can't, so I'll see you guys tomorrow?" I smiled at them. Billie Joe looked really disappointed but I pecked his cheek quickly and he just smiled at me.

"Ok, first hour, is gym," Tré said while leading me to the gym where we got changed quickly then ran out to the field where Mike and Billie Joe were.
"About time! We had to cover for you guys," Mike said while he picked up his bow and arrow. Today it was archery, it was easy enough, but Americans seem to hold the bow a lot differently then I was taught. I held the bow and arrow the way I was taught and the coach kept correcting me, but I just couldn't get it.
Finally, Billie Joe came to my rescue and showed me how. He got so close to me that I could feel his warm breath down my neck and took my hands in his and held them tightly to show me the correct way for them to hold a bow and arrow.
"And, let go," he said while we let go and the arrow soared, bull's eye! Billie Joe laughed and we high fived and he did something very unexpected. He kissed me, right on the lips. I liked Billie Joe, a lot, but I didn't know he liked me like that.
"I'm... Sorry," he whispered. I just shook my head as I kissed him passionately and he seemed to enjoy it.
"You guys, stop! The coach is gonna catch you!" Mike hissed. We broke apart and smiled at each other. I went back to my bow and arrow, while smirking at Billie Joe.
"Ok, ok I'm coming," I said while rushing out the door with my costume and my CD.
"Hurry up!" Billie Joe said while trotting a little bit.
"Billie calm down ok?" I asked him while grabbing his arm.
"Sorry, a little hyper from those roga-whatever."
