Whatsername, chapter 1
I was on the side of Oakland I rarely went on the side of town known as the rich side to my friends and I, we hardly went on this side of town we usually shung around in our neighborhood, but for some reason today I didn't stay on my own side of town and I just don't know why. It was starting to get dark but I didn't care, I knew my parents wouldn't either since they had kicked me out again.
I walked into the 7/11 to get a coke when all of the sudden some guy jumped over the counter and yelled "New girl!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked
"You."
"I'm not a new girl."
"You aren't?"
"Um.. no. The last time I checked I've lived in Oakland my whole life. I just live on the other side of town."
"Oh. Well you're new to me. I'm John."
"Right. I'm Whatsername."
He just looked at me funny "That's your name?"
"No, but that's what I go by."
"Then what's your real name."
"I'm not gonna tell you."
"Why?"
"Because I hardly know you."
"Right." he said
"Yeah." I paid for the coke and left
As I walked out into the street some jackass almost ran me over. "You fucking prick!" I yelled "I hope you go-" I stopped when I saw who it was getting out of the car.
"Are you ok?" Billie Joe Armstrong asked, I just stood there unable to speek. I had just called my idol a fucking prick. "I know you can talk," he said "I hurt you. Now are you ok or not?"
"Um... y-yeah. I'm fine, and I'm sorry about calling you a prick."
"Well I did almost run you over. I think you have the right. But anyway, what's your name."
"Um, Whatsername."
"That's not your real name is it?"
"No."
"Well, what's your real name?"
"Promise you won't laugh."
"I promise."
"My real name's Angle."
He just looked at me "Really?"
"Unfourtunately."
