Armstrong?, chapter 2
"Joseph Armstrong?" I said quietly, "Where have I heard Armstrong before... Fuck!" I said standing up.
"Miss Johnson. Thank you for volunteering to take Mr. Armstrong around the school."
"Okay. Follow me Joseph," I said walking to the door. Once we got out the class room we started to walk down the corridor.
"This is the first stop from tour of crappy school," I said pointing to a black locker. I grabbed the lock and started to put the code in.
"So, Joseph. How you liking school so far?" I asked putting my backpack in the locker and closing it.
"Please call me Joey, and school is okay 'cause I met a cool kid."
"Oh, who's that?" I asked
"Oh. Just some girl," He said looking down at his black converse.
"Okay, cool," I said walking on from my locker. I showed him to the Science, English, Math rooms as well as the other important places. He told me about why he moved to England and he told me all about Tré, Mike and his dad, Billie Joe.
After School
"Hey Tori, remember band practice today!" Lesha yelled as I crossed the road with Joey.
Then Kurk sneaked over and screamed in my ear, "Band practice today! Don't forget!" Then he ran off. Then Chez was waiting for her mum out side and she said "Hey Tori don't forget band today."
"Okay, I won't!" I called as she jumped into her mums' car and drove off.
"So I guess you're in a band then," Joey said
"Yeah, we're stuck in the basement playing songs from other bands and stuff."
"Cool! What you play?"
"Oh, I'm the lead guitarist and singer, Chez is the Bassist and backing singer, Kurk is the mental drummer and Lesha is the other guitarist. The name of the band is called The Evil Little Psychos."
"Cool. I'll have to hear you and maybe bring my dad and everyone else."
"Wow, I'll be able to see my idol, your dad," I said with a little laugh.
"Yeah well, I'll bring everyone over today. Is that ok?"
"Yep 'cause my mum's out so come over at about 6:30," I said.
"Okay. Bye Tori!" Joey yelled.
"See ya Joey!" I shouted as he went in to his house.
I walked home and called Lesha, Kurk and Chez and had a four-way phone call. I told them we have to play Green Day as we had special guests coming to watch.
6:15
I was passing up and down my room thinking what to wear. I pulled out my Green Day heartgrenade top and my black jeans and my converse. I went over to my dresser and pulled a brush through my black hair and put more eyeliner under my green eyes.
DING!
It was the door. I ran down to see Chez, Kurk and Lesha all here. "Go plug your stuff in, down in the basement."
They all ran down and I checked myself out in the kitchen mirror to see if I looked ok. The door went again and I ran to answer it. I opened it to see Joey, Mike and Billie Joe but no Tré.
"Hello!" Screamed Tré jumping out from behind and tree in the front garden.
"Fuck! Tré you scared me," I said standing away from the door to let every one in.
"Thanks," they all said in unison.
"Lesha, Kurk, Chez! Our guests are here!" I yelled down stairs. "They might scream a bit so be warned," I warned the guys.
They all ran upstairs and screamed as I thought. After they stopped screaming we all went down into the basement to where my guitar, Kurk's drums, Lesha's guitar and Chez's bass were.
"Wow," Said Billie Joe looking at my guitar which was a dark purple Stratocaster with dark blue skulls over it.
"It was hand made by my dad, before he died," I said, my eyes filling with tears.
"It's okay. That's like how I got 'Blue,'" Billie said with a smile. I smiled back and pulled out four seats for Billie Joe, Joey, Mike and Tré. I walked over and picked up my guitar and we started to play.
We played; I Fought The Law, Shoplifter, Too Much Too Soon and Favorite Son. Once we finished everybody started to cheer.
"You guys were brilliant!" Mike shouted.
"Better then brilliant!" Billie Joe yelled.
"Woo! Fucking great!" Tré screamed.
As I walked upstairs to get a drink Joey followed and said, "Hey Tori. You were great down there."
"Thanks Joey," I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek he blushed a bit. We went in for a more passion kiss but we heard Tré running up the stairs followed by Billie Joe and Mike.
"Joey, we have to go, dumb ass just remembered we have a show."
"Okay dad. But how am I getting home?" He asked.
"Erm... " Billie Joe looked at me.
"I could let you stay in the guest room. Esme is sleeping at a friends and mum is on vacation with Jed, her boyfriend."
"Cool! Thanks Tori!" Billie Joe yelled as he ran out the door followed closely behind, by Tré and Mike.
I took Joey upstairs to the guest room and walked in, he followed behind and closed the door.
"Now where were we?" I asked pulling him to the bed.
"Miss Johnson. Thank you for volunteering to take Mr. Armstrong around the school."
"Okay. Follow me Joseph," I said walking to the door. Once we got out the class room we started to walk down the corridor.
