Mean Bands (Bandom version of Mean Girls)

Caught

The Andy burn is part of the Band Burn Book written by PattywinkleStump . Check that book out, it's amazing!

The next day in music class, some police officers are in our room. One looks me dead in the eyes and asks, "Has Mr. Billie Joe Armstrong ever sold you any kind of illegal drugs, including pot, cocaine, or marijuana tablets?"

"What the heck is a marijuana tablet?" wonders Hayley. "Mr. Armstrong has never sold drugs to any of us. What's going on?"

"Oh, something's going on, alright," says Mr. Armstrong. "Patrick Stump, Brendon Urie, and Gerard Way, get in my office right now."

"Wait, you mean me and Brendon and Patrick?" Gerard replies, sounding confused.

"Of course. We're getting the whole emo trinity in there. Now go!" Mr. Armstrong says.

"Okay, what is an emo trinity, and how can I join?" Pete exclaims, almost dropping his Hot Cash in excitement.

"Mr. Wentz, please shut your pie hole," Mr. Armstrong sighs.

We head into Mr. Armstrong's office, not knowing what to expect. "Do any of you know what this is?" Mr. Armstrong asks, holding up a black leather book. I instantly recognize it as The Burn Book.

"Ooh, it's a book! Are you gonna read us a bedtime story, Mr. Armstrong?" Gerard cheers.

"This is no ordinary book," says Mr. Armstrong. "Andy Hurley found it. He says it contains harmful rumors about everyone at this school, except for you three. I'll show you some of it."

He opens up to a page I've never seen before, one of Andy with the caption, Andy Hurley is only a vegan so he seems cool.

The handwriting matches Andy's perfectly. He must have written himself into the Burn Book so he'd seem innocent!

Brendon laughs to himself. "It is kind of true," he smirks. Mr. Armstrong replies, "Brendon, this isn't funny. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I didn't write it," Brendon adds. "Now let me go. I don't think my father, the inventor of the disco ball, would be pleased to hear about this."

Gerard agrees, "Yeah. I can't speak until I have a former MCR bandmate, parent, or lawyer present."

"Fine. I guess I'll let you go, then," sighs Mr. Armstrong.

We leave the office to see the hallway littered with photocopied Burn Book pages, and my classmates are all accusing each other of writing the rumors.

"Too emo to function? That's only okay when I say it!" Hayley gasps, reading a paper to Pete. "Yeah!" Pete agrees. "And here it says I made out with a pizza! That was one time!"

"Andy Biersack is a stupid goth? Who would write that about me?" wonders Andy Biersack. "Who wouldn't?" laughs Vic Fuentes.

By the lockers, Dan and Phil are puking after reading a horrific rumor about buying a hamster every month. I don't know who would ever write something that horrible.

In the corner, I see Dallon Weekes crying on the phone, "Mom? Can you come pick me up? I'm scared!"

Kids are punching kids. It's practically brother against brother, friend against friend. Mr. Armstrong rushes to the fire alarm, and turns on the sprinklers to get everyone's attention.

"I did not leave Warped Tour '05 for this!" he shouts. "Everyone to the gym, now!"

We run into the gym, shocked by the rumors and fighting. As I run, however, I can see Andy Hurley smirking at me...
