Road Trip, chapter 3
"Um, about me? Nah, you don't wanna hear about me... I'm... me and you're... you guys... Green Day," I stuttered.
"Keep calm Ri, we're normal people, we'll Tré claims to be, but since when did you and everyone else believe anything he said?" Billie Joe said and I managed a smile at his joke.
"But... I can't... you're famous... its fine when you're talking about yourselves... but me... " I mumbled.
"Hey Ri, do you know what I like?" Tré asked me and I nodded.
"Yeah, sex, drumming, masturbation, donut sprinkles, and cheese," I said and Tré smiled.
"Yeah I do. Do you like cheese?" Tré asked me.
"It's frigging ace. I don't like strong cheese, that I cannot stand, but I love cheese slices. The rock," I said and Tré clapped
"Indeed they do. I like punk bands. What punk bands do you like?" Tré asked me again.
"Sex Pistols, Ramones, Kinks, Dead Kennedy's and stuff like that," I said and Tré smiled.
"Cool. I play drums and guitar. What instruments do you play?" Tré asked me.
"Guitar and Tin whistle," I told him.
"Wow! That is freaking ace! I wanna play Tin whistle! And eat cheese!" Tré exclaimed happily.
"Tré, can get on with the audition? And by the way, we don't care about cheese." Billie Joe said as he twiddled his thumbs with boredom.
"Yeah, we aren't at a cheese convention, its an audition," Mike said sighing,
"But cheese is so important to the world... the world would not be the world it is today without cheese... mice would have nothing to eat and think about Wallace and Gromit with no cheese... " Tré rambled and Billie Joe hit him.
"Tré, shut up," Mike said and Billie Joe nodded.
"Hey, didn't you guys notice that I actually got Ri to answer some questions I asked her... okay they were about cheese but cheese is very important... " Tré said smiling.
"Yeah, shut up with the cheese stuff now Tré. You are actually right," Mike said.
"About cheese... " Tré began then Billie Joe elbowed him in the stomach, "Or the Ri thing?"
"The Ri thing, doofus."
"Hey wait, it did actually work," I said, "I was answering the questions Tré asked me and I actually didn't feel nervous."
"Its because I mentioned myself and slipped the question in, you get nervous about just talking about yourself, yet if you talk about us and you, you can answer the questions," Tré said and Mike and Billie Joe looked at each other.
"You no, that's actually right, so Ri, you can do it. You know, talk about yourself," Mike said.
"Yeah, just keep calm and take deep breathes when you need to, but relax," Billie Joe said.
"Okay, I'll try to be calm," I said and smiled.
"Yeah, we'll try and help you," Billie Joe said and smiled back at me.
"Thanks," I smiled.
"So, Ri, how would you describe yourself in three words?" Billie Joe asked me and we had powerful eye contact.
"Well umm... hyperactive, funny and nice... " I said, stuttering slightly.
"That was six words. That's cheating! We said three!" Tré shouted.
"Well how would you describe yourself as in three words then?" I asked him.
"Oh so Sexy." Tré said and I laughed along with Billie Joe and Mike, "What? Don't you believe me?"
"We'll leave you pondering with that Tré," Billie Joe said, "But let's carry on with the audition."
We carried on talking for about twenty minutes, but then the woman with black spiked hair came in.
"Billie Joe, Mike, Tré, we'd better hurry up with the auditions," the woman said.
"Thanks Nicole, we'll just finish it off, but you'd better send them in groups," Billie Joe said.
"Hey, you're welcome Bill," Nicole said.
"It's not Bill," he said to Nicole and then turned to me, "Ri, do you wanna go and talk to Rebs and Violet? I don't understand why you would but you know."
"Yeah, that'll be great, thanks Billie," I said smiling.
"Hands off, he's my Billie!" Tré shouted at me but started laughing.
"Well we'll probably see you later then, Ri. But if we don't, it's nice seeing you," Billie Joe said to me and hugged me.
"Yeah see ya, nice meeting you like Billie Joe said," Mike said and then hugged me.
"Keep off my Billie," Tré said as he hugged me and then slapped my ass and Billie Joe glared at him.
"What?" Tré said, "I'm single and she has a nice ass."
"Keep calm Ri, we're normal people, we'll Tré claims to be, but since when did you and everyone else believe anything he said?" Billie Joe said and I managed a smile at his joke.
