This One Girl I Used To Know, chapter 4
Billie Joe's P. O. V
I smiled and held her in my arms and kissed her...My first real kiss. It was the best.
So after that I said, "So, where do you wanna go?"
She thought for a while and said, "Umm, how about we go to James's house? He's having a party there tonight. Well, it's not really a party; he just called everyone and said that he wanted to hang out tonight. He called me and told me that he couldn't get a hold of you. So I told him I would tell you because we were gonna meet up anyways."
I nodded my head and said, "Sure, let's go."
So we held hands and walked to James's house, which was about a mile away. James greeted us and said, "Hey, are you guys going out? I just thought I'd ask because you guys are holding hands and stuff."
Rebel and I looked at each other, grinning form ear to ear. Rebel said, "Yeah, James, we are."
He look a little taken back, then said, "Cool?"
Just then Karma and Nickole burst in through the door. They are laughing at some joke. Karma is almost choking and laughing at the same time. Rebel gives them the weirdest look and Karma says, "Hey? It was a really good joke!" Everyone just went silent...
Karma's P. O. V
Man, Nickole and I were just making fun of James. His hair is off the hook! I look around for Nickole and find that she's on the couch, and I'm the only one in the entryway. Hmm, I wonder how long I've been standing here. I go and sit next to her. That's when I realize that Billie Joe and Rebel are holding hands. I ask them,
"Hey are you guys going out?" Rebel nods her head.
"Cool?" Is all I can say. I thought she liked Parker...Okay. I'm totally weirded out.
Nickole and I kinda sat around and watched James, Rebel and Billie Joe talk. I had no idea why we weren't in the conversation, but I don't think I wanted to be anyway. I sat there for about 30 minutes. Then everyone came. We hung out and talked about old times, which we had to fill Billie Joe on. We celebrated Billie Joe and Rebel's relationship. It was one of the best nights of my life.
5 months later.
Rebel's P. O. V
Billie Joe and I are still going out. And I think it's going well. Today Billie Joe wasn't at school. Karma, who lives next to him, didn't mention him at all. I asked about him. Karma quickly answered, "Oh, I don't know." She answered it a little too quickly.
I said, "Oh."
The rest of the day, I asked random people about Billie Joe. They all gave me the same, quick answer of "I don't know."
Finally, when I asked Parker, I said, "PARKER! You know something about it! Tell me!" He looked taken back and sighed.
Then he said, "Billie Joe moved back to California. His mom woke him up at about 3 in the morning. He gave me a quick call and told me to tell you and the others. But when I saw you today, I just couldn't bring myself to do it."
I was so mad! How could Parker do this to me? After all those years that we've been friends! I walked down the hall slamming open lockers and pushing people out of my way. God, I hated everyone at the moment. I burst into L.A and Karma, Nickole and James me scared look.
I sit next to them and say, "Does everyone know?" They slightly nod their heads. Oh great! I sit back in my seat as the class begins.
Arianna raises her hand and says, "Mrs. Cromer, where's Billie Joe?"
Mrs. Cromer says, "He moved back to California Arianna."
She nods her head as if to say, "Oh."
Then she turns and looks at me with a huge smirk on her face. I felt the anger rise. Karma, who must've seen it, lightly touched my arm. When I turned and looked at her, she whispered, "Rebel, don't be like this." I sighed and whispered back, "I'm just so pissed off babe. I don't know what the matter with me."
She pulled me into a hug and whispered, "Babe, it's gonna be okay. Just wait for a few days and maybe he'll call you."
Billie Joe's P. O. V
Gosh, I'm back in California. I miss Rebel and The Crew. My mom woke me up at 3 in the morning and drove to the airport. I'm already enrolled at my old school. As I walked into the cafeteria, I notice that there are some new kids. And they're punk.
This kid walks up to me and says, "Hey, you must be new. I'm Mike."
I shake my head and say, "No, I'm not new. I moved to Oregon, but now I'm back. My name's is Billie Joe, but I go by Billie Joe."
His eyes widen and he says, "Are you really Billie Joe? Billie Joe Armstrong? You are a legend in this school!" I nod my head. Since when have I become a legend? Rebel's a legend at RMS. Well, it's obvious, she's super cool and rebellious. But me? Nah.
I sit at Mike'stable. He introduces me a couple of people. I don't catch their names because my head is filled with all those moments I had with Rebel. Mike invited me to his house. We started listening to The Ramones, The Clash and The Sex Pistols. We talked about starting a band. We're gonna name it Sweet Children. Ahh, I gotta call Rebel tonight.
6:00 PM
Still Billie Joe's P. O. V
I'm calling Rebel right now.
"Hello?"
"Rebel? Is that you?"
"Yeah, who's this?"
"It's Billie Joe...How are you?"
"Oh, hey Billie Joe. Umm, I'm doing well. Why'd you go?"
"I don't know, but I'll promise I'll come back."
"Okay Billie Joe, but if that's the case, then we should break up."
I sigh, "Okay Rebel. If you think that's best."
"It is the best Billie Joe, I don't want you on lock down. I want you to go and have fun. I hope you come back. We miss you. Call me later or something. Goodbye Billie Joe."

I sighed and hung up. That night I cried myself to sleep.
I smiled and held her in my arms and kissed her...My first real kiss. It was the best.
