This One Girl I Used To Know, chapter 1
Billie Joe's P.O.V 1986
13 Years Old
So today is the first day of 8th grade in Portland Oregon. I'm gonna go to some dumb school called Reynolds Middle. Well, yeah, I just got up and took a shower. I'm applying eyeliner at the moment. So yeah, time for the bus. I get on the bus and give the lady my note. She just nods her head. Once I'm on, I look around for a spot. All the kids give me a weird look. I decide to sit in the front. We go to a few more stops and finally this girl gets on. She's beautiful. She has jet-black hair with blue and purple streaks. She's wearing a Misfits Tee, black pants, a black studded belt and worn out converse. She has a lip piercing on the left side of the bottom lip and about 7 ear piercings on each side. She glanced my way and I can't help, but smile. She gives me an uneasy smile back and takes a seat in the back.
Finally the bus stops and I get off. I walk into the cafeteria and sit down. I sit there for about 5 mins, noticing that some guy, who has blue hair and is hanging out with all these Punks and Goths, is staring at me. I pretend not to notice. I keep trying to find that girl. Finally, the Blue-Haired guy walks over to me and says, "Hey, dude, you wanna come and sit with us?" I look at him, and then I look at the crowd. They seem pretty cool so I say, "Sure, man." The guy says,
"No prob. By the way, I'm James Lange."
I walk with him to the table and sit down. One of the Goth girls sitting there says,
"Hey Lange, who's this?" I look at her and say,
"I'm Billie Joe."
"Cool. My name is Sara, but people call me by my middle name, Karma."
She goes back to talking to her friends and I get a good look at her. She has this Emo hair cut (long in the front and spiked in the back.). I'm guessing that she is supposed to have side bangs, but she just leaves them side-to-side. Her hair is black in the front and purple in the back. She's wearing a plain black tee, black pants, and a plain black belt.
James starts to introduce me to people. Matt is an Asian kid who has a Mohawk. Josh Parker, who likes to be called by his surname, has brown hair and is kinda big. Darren is a really Gothic guy, whose hair is red in the front and black in the back. Jeremy is a Gothic guy who has blonde-brown hair and wears a jacket with a skull and studs on the back. Kayla is a Punk girl who has blonde hair with red hair under the blonde. Nickole is a Punk girl who is kinda big and has blonde hair. I've already met Karma.
Just as James is telling me about the school, that girl walks into the cafeteria. Jeremy attempted to hug her, but ended up tackling her. Poor girl. James says,
"That's Christina, but we all call her Rebel."
Rebel's P.O.V
Hey, James is talking to that kid on the bus. Hmm. He's pretty cute!
I got up and walked over to James.
"Hey James! Who's this?"
James says, "Billie Joe."
"Cool. Hi Billie Joe."
I study him for a while. He seems to be a little taller than me. He has brown-reddish hair and green eyes. Nice. I go over and sit next to Darren, as Karma says,
"Hey, finally you're here. What'd you do? Get attacked by a dog or something?" I gave her a little laugh and said, "No, in fact I didn't. I actually had to talk the principal."
Billie Joe is sitting right across from us and I ask him.
"So Babe, where you from?" He looked taken back. Kayla said,
"She calls everyone that. Or she says Hun, Love, Sexy, Hunnie, Ect." He nodded his head and said, "Well, I'm from Rodeo, California." I looked at him again and said,
"Dude, if you're from California, what the heck are you doing out here? This place is Hell...unless of course, you know how to live it." I smiled one of smile cute smiles.
"Ohh, looks like Chrissy has a crush!" said Nickole.
I looked at Billie Joe and saw him blush. I looked at Nickole and said, "Hey Missy, it's Rebel to you! And no, I don't have a crush. I'm just curious!"
Nickole says, "Fine, whatever."
I ask to see Billie Joe's schedule and he hands it to me. I read Science [Mrs. Petersen], Math [Mrs. Baber], Social Studies [Mrs. Evans], Seminar [Mrs. Baber], lunch, L.A [Mrs. Cromer], Gym[ Mr. Jenness], Drama[ Ms. Mac]. Hey, he has all my classes. Cool. I look at his name and it says: Billie Joe Armstrong. I feel myself smirk and think, cute.
Billie Joe's P.O.V
I watched Rebel look at my schedule. She is REALLY good looking! Suddenly she smirks and I think that something is wrong. I started panicking. She looks up at me and says, "Babe, you got all of my classes. Cool."
I just nodded my head. I practically drooled when she said Babe. Then the bell rang and she offered to walk me to our first class. When she got in, all these people were looking at me funny. I recognized Jeremy and Parker. She walked over to the teacher and said, "Mrs. Petersen, we got a new student. His name is Billie Joe."
I hear a few people trying to hold in there laughter. The Teacher says, "Okay Billie Joe. Your seat is right next to Mr. Brady."
I turned around and searched for Jeremy. He was sitting in the back row with Rebel and Parker. I smile and sit next to him. The first period went by well. Then the bell rang and Rebel walked me to Math. Mrs. Baber, the Math teacher, greeted me and showed me to my seat... Next to Rebel, again. Also, next to Matt. In Math, some Prep kept looking at me. I pretended not to notice, then she walked by my desk and lightly touched me shoulder. I looked up at her and she giggled and smiled. I guess Rebel saw and she grabbed my hand and held it.
Confused, I looked at Rebel. She had this smirk on her face; it was pretty wicked and cute at the same time. I looked at the Prep, she had this really mean look on the face... almost hateful. She walked away. I looked at Rebel and she was gave a small smile and said, "That's Arianna Miniger. I hate her and she hates me. So, I guess she likes you... Do you like her? Because if you do, sorry about that whole holding your hand thing. I just didn't want her to hitting on you and stuff. She's the school slut."
I realized that she was still holding my hand. Surprised, I shook her off. I saw her eyes get this sadness in them and she turned away.
