Life as a teenage rocker, chapter 7
Chapter 7
"That was AWESOME!" Said Roxy jumping up and down. "I can't believe we met them... BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG, the like most amazing Rock star ever to grace the planet!"
"Suuure, it was awesome though," agreed Willow, "but they probably won't ever want to see us again, since you were practically hyperventilating!"
"Was it that bad?" Roxy asked, her head drooping, as she fell onto Willow's bed.
"Defiantly."
"Ah dude, we screwed up big time."
"Correction, YOU screwed up!"
"Oh go blah yourself," muttered Roxy under her breath, as the door opened, and Adam said:
"You screwed who?"
"Adam get out, you death metal head!" Said Willow.
"I'm not in." Adam said calmly pointing to down to the line where Willow's carpet met the wooden floorboards of the hallway.
"Roxy pass me the baseball bat," said Willow turning to Roxy who was sucking her thumb and made no effort to move, "Fine." She said as she sat on her bed and crossed her arms, sulking.
"I only came to say, our band has a new song... you wanna hear it, we're all downstairs in the basement." Willow and Adam had converted their basement to their sort of hide-out area, which had a sofa, fridge, guitars, TV, stereo player, and stuff like that, (as both families were quite well off.)
"Ooo I wanna hear it!" Said Roxy jumping up immediately and walking past Adam to the basement.
"Coming?" Adam asked Willow.
"Uh... I guess so." She said defeatedly, following him out the door.
**
Someone was shaking her awake.
"Nooo! I swear, it I didn't do it! I don't even like linkin park!" Willow moaned in her sleep.
"Alas fair maiden, it is I, Roxy the Great!" Said Roxy, happily slapping her round the face.
"Willow sat bolt up-right, and pointed a knife at Roxy's throat.
"WOAH!" screamed Roxy scrambling away, "What do you think your doing, mad woman?!"
"Oh... it's you." Said Willow rubbing her eyes, "I thought it was someone else."
"Oh ok, so that makes everything better, oh sorry Roxy I thought it was SOMEONE ELSE sorry I almost killed you but I-"
"ROXY! Shut up dude."
"Fine but I only came to tell you to wake up, cause we're starting a new school today."
"Oh yeah, that sucks. I wish we were still in our old school." Said Willow, doping random little plaits in her hair.
"Oh well. IM gonna go and get changed and stuff I'll meet you back here in 20. Comprende`?"
"Sure." Said Willow who was pulling herself out of bed.
When she was ready she took out her black skirt that went down in a v-shape, then she put on her white sleeveless top with slits on the front so she also wore her black tank top with it. Then she climbed into her big clumpy boots and out her eyeliner on quite heavily.
"Eww, Willow, your feeling quite gothic today!" Roxy said shaking her head. Willow shrugged in an off hand way.
Roxy was wearing a plain black sleeveless v-neck t-shirt, with black drainpipes, and her black and white vans, she also had black streaks in her hair, which looked quite cool.
"You look nice." Said Willow surprised at how co-ordinated she was looking.
**
20 minutes later, Roxy and Willow were walking to school, while Adam was walking to college, which was in the same building as the school.
They were all in a moody silence, and Roxy was just about to start one of her random conversations about football when their new school came into view.
"Grrr" Started Roxy, growling.
Outside the gates were a whole load of gangsters, chavs and snobs. Not even jocks and cheerleaders like at their old school.
As Willow, Roxy and Adam approached them, they stopped talking, and looked at the three of them, with their eyes narrowed.
"Jeez, this is gonna be fun." Said Willow. Ignoring all these people the three of them walked through the gates with their heads held high.
"Is this some sort of prison!?" Exclaimed Roxy hysterically, trying to pull her hair out.
There was a few rockers hanging out smoking by the bike shed, and Adam headed over to them, saying bye to Roxy and Willow.
Then there were two.
"Willow, please, please, im begging you, see if there are any sane people around here, cause I'm getting random urges to go and kick one of these hoody people, even though they haven't actually done anything to me... see I'm going psycho!" Said Roxy, speaking very fast, doing a weird thing with her body, as though she was restraining herself, but at the same time, lunging forwards.
Willow made a mental note to restrain Roxy if she showed any sign of violence.
"Hey Roxy, over there!" Exclaimed Willow, pointing to a two people who were punky gothic-like.
As the two of them came closer the boy nudged the girl (who was studying her black fingernails.)
"Yallow." Said Roxy brightly. "Im Roxy, and this is Willow!"
"Hi," Said Willow, who was nervously hiding behind her hair.
"Um... is it ok if we hang out with you guys, I don't think we really fit in well."
The girl looked at the boy, and the boy nodded.
"Sure, Im Valerie, and this is Spike."
"Spike?" Questioned Roxy, looking at him.
"Samuel. It's not really me, so I changed it to Spike." He said smiling, but more at Roxy.
Just as Valerie was about to say something, the bell rang for first period.
"Damn bell. What lesson do you guys have?" Asked Spike.
"Um... " Said Roxy taking her rolling stones bag of her shoulder. Willow gave her one to Roxy, as she was fumbling around a bit, going red, and cursing. "Yeah, thanks, we have Algebra. Great.
"Hey, so do we, you might as well come with us," said Valerie.
**
Algebra was a very bad lesson, as there teacher was a bit of a perv (as Spike said), and enjoyed flirting with half the girls in their class, including them.
But apart from that, the lessons, past without much fuss.
The four of them. Roxy, Willow, Spike and Valerie, went out into the courtyard, and chose a shady spot of grass, since it was so hot.
"Roxy took out two sandwiches, from her bag, cheese salad, and cheese and crisps.
She handed the cheese and crisps to Willow.
"Dudes, you want some?" Asked Valerie holding out a hot-dog.
"No thanks, I'm a vegetarian." Said Roxy.
"Don't like hot-dogs," Said Willow apologetically.
"Oh, and I'm really gonna miss the opportunity, of being offered a free bite of a hot-dog!" Said Spike, taking a massive bit out of it, while Valerie muttered 'Foolish boy' under her breath.
After about 20 minutes, Spike and Valerie went of somewhere, and two gangster guys came up to them.
"Do y'all believe in God?" Asked one of them that was wearing several chunky gold necklaces. Willow and Roxy exchanged a look.
"Yeah, I guess we do. Is that a problem now?!" Roxy said.
"The why d'yall listen to that listen to all that devil music, like green day or whatever they are?"
Willow and Roxy both stood up.
"Ok, number 1: Rock music is NOT devil music, it's just music actual instruments involved in it... so get your facts straight before you say that!"
"AND!" Said Roxy, "Rock music is amazing, you just have no taste!"
"Nah man, are you trying to start beef with me now or something?"
"HOW DARE YOU!" Roxy said, "I happen to be a VEGITARIAN!" Not quite understanding what beef this guy was on about.
He lunged at her and pulled her hair, she screamed in pain and kicked him in the nuts, which gave her the opportunity to tie up her hair.
The other guy took this advantage to hit Roxy, but Willow tripped him up, and he punched her in the stomach.
She stopped the food from coming up and punched the guy in the face, which made his lip bleed, he looked furious and took something out of his pocket, but Willow didn't see it as he suddenly lunged at her. She felt a sharp pain just under her eye, and put her hand there where she saw blood trickling down her cheek.
The other guy (Roxy was fighting with,) was getting angry as she was repeatedly hitting him over the head with her bag, which had a lot of heavy objects in. After a while he managed to punch her in the eye, and she bean to see little stars everywhere.
At that moment Adam came charging over to them, with a seriously scary look on his face.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE PLAYING AT!" He shouted, giving one a black eye, and causing the other one to look like he had broken his nose.
Turning away, he grabbled |Roxy and Willow's hands dragging them over to a quiet area of the courtyard.
"Jeez!" He exclaimed as he examined them properly, he cleaned Willow's cut as best he could, but there was still a scar there.
He then looked at Roxy eye, which was starting to go blue.
"Don't worry," she said looking at Adam, "I've always wanted a black eye, and I thought the stars were pretty," she said distantly swaying on the spot.
"Whoa, you need help."
"That was AWESOME!" Said Roxy jumping up and down. "I can't believe we met them... BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG, the like most amazing Rock star ever to grace the planet!"
"Suuure, it was awesome though," agreed Willow, "but they probably won't ever want to see us again, since you were practically hyperventilating!"
