Zoe, Her Father, and The Guys, chapter 6
"Bye guys. See you later." I bellowed as the guys walked down the driveway.
They waved and I shut the door behind me.
"Zoe, you want to get changed so you make a good impression on Bill and Mike?" Tre asked from the living room.
"Good Idea." I answered, then running up the stairs to my room.
I entered my closet and picked a pair of pants that were black with multiple pockets and had chains on each side.
Then my shirt was a tight black shirt that said, 'AFI', across the front.
I touched up my black eyeliner and my dark brown eyeshadow.
I then pulled out my clear lip gloss and applied some to my pink lips.
I finally looked in my full length mirror on the bathroom door and saw how good I looked.
I was really skinny but enough to make it look like I did eat. I did, it's just when I was in the orphanage, I never ate. The guy would never feed me.
I stepped into the living room to see Tre sitting in a lazyboy and two other men on the couch. I knew who they were.
Since there was only a spot on the couch, I sat with the other men of Green Day.
"Zoe, you should know who these guys are." Tre said, pointing to them.
"Yeah. What were you guys talking about?" I asked.
"You." Mike answered.
"Very funny." I replied with a smile and a look at him in the eyes. I loved his blues eyes.
"He was serious." Billie said with a smile and a look into my eyes. I loved his green eyes.
"Okay. What about me?" I asked Billie. Staring him in the eye.
"Your attitude. Your mom. Your figure. Your eyes." Mike returned before Billie could answer.
"What about my figure?" I asked, starting a conversation about everything he just named.
"You're too skinny. Don't you ever eat?" Billie replied, eyes scanning my body.
"I know I'm skinny. And yes, I used to eat but when I was in the orphanage, the man only fed me every three days. When I was desperate, I drank so much water I was throwing up water because I soon found out the water was well water." I returned.
I looked at all of them. Tre was last. He was wide eyed.
"So, let me get this straight. He didn't feed you a lot. He would feed you then wait two days to feed you again? So why aren't you asking for something to eat now?" Mike asked, obviously confused.
"Because I'm not hungry." I answered wittingly.
'Nice one." Billie returned, putting an arm around my shoulders.
"Thank you." I replied.
"What about my eyes then?" I asked, continuing into what Mike reported to me earlier.
"You have beautiful green eyes." Tre said.
"Did Mom have green eyes? You have blue eyes. Was I born with green eyes?" I questioned, curious.
"Mom had brown eyes. You were born with blue eyes." Tre answered.
"Then, why do I have green eyes?" I replied, confused.
"I don't know sweetheart. My parents didn't have green eyes. But I don't know about your Mom's side." Tre answered, a little sad. I think he missed Mom.
"Okay. Whatever." I said, finishing that conversation.
"Mike, did you know my Mom?" I asked, leaning forward to face him.
"Yes. She was very pretty and had a 'live life in the moment' kind of attitude. Not exactly like you. She had those deep brown eyes. They were spooky because when she was mad at Tre for something, they would go pitch black. I wouldn't wanna be Tre when he got her mad." Mike answered softly and looked me in the eyes. I could tell he saw deep down inside me. He had the eyes to show it.
"Billie, did you know my mom?" I questioned once again.
"Yes, just like Mike said. She had a different attitude than you, and she had the brown eyes. They went black. It was cool and weird at the same time. You have no idea how much Tre hurt after he left with us. He never went back. I think he expresses his feelings in a very different way. He acts like a 12 year old just to keep himself happy. He is really happy he gets to have you back. I can tell in his eyes. We can read each other. You will soon be able to do the same. And so will we." He explained.
I just smiled.
We talked all night. Last time I looked, it was about 12:30 pm.
"Zoe, wake up. First day of school." Tre said, shaking me.
"Okay." I agreed groggily.
I lifted my self out of bed and into the bathroom.
I splashed my face with ice cold water.
Then, I looked in the mirror. All my make-up was off. Tre must have cleaned it off.
I finally walked out of the bathroom, and into my closet.
I picked out a pair of pant and a simple tank top.
The pants were black and this time, no chains. I only had the fender guitar pick wallet chain on it. I didn't play guitar but I was planning on asking Billie Joe tonight.
My tank top was a dark green. It had a pirate skull on it. And by that, I mean it had the skull with a bandanna around it. It had the crossbones and everything. The it had blue, red, and dark purple flowers below it. Then in the bottom right corner, it had a pirate ship and said 'Pirates of the Carribean'.
I applied my black eyeliner a little lighter today because it was my first day back to school. I would have to do a lot of hard work to pass. There was only about six months left.
I then applied my dark brown eyeshadow and I left for breakfast.
They waved and I shut the door behind me.
