No Ordinary Life

Small Opertunities

I woke up to Billie shaking me and pulling my blanket off telling me to get up. It was 10:30 am and I was still half asleep. Billie was screaming "wake up, come on, we got to go". I threw on my favorite band t ( which was as always my dookie shirt) and my favorite light blue baggy distressed jeans and a blue and grey flannel. I grabbed my phone and decided not to look at it being that it might be blown up by now. Last thing I did was throw some eyeliner on, brush my teeth, and grab my money u made working at a cafe called Crazy Coffee Time. I ran down stairs as everyone was waiting in the car already while I threw on my old converse with band lyrics on the bottom sides and a cool spiderweb I drew on the top white part. When I got in the car I sat in the front next to Billie. Adrienne was at the door with Joey and Jakob as we waved to them. Rocky was in the back playing on his phone to some video game. Billie asked us what we wanted and I just said Mc Donald's is fine. (Their breakfast wraps are the best) when we got there, Billie got the same thing I did two breakfast wraps and a Diet Coke and he got a coffee (I know I like it tho) and Rocky got pancakes. When we finished Billie said the first place we're going to is a surprise, and he made us wear blindfolds! After about a ten minute drive we stopped at a Music Store. Billie said "come on kiddies let's go". And I said "I'm not a kid y'know". I walked in front of him before he can say anything else (I hate being called a kid). The second we got inside Rocky ran to the drums. I already had a guitar so I just looked around. Billie said we could pick out anything we want while he talked to the guy at the counter. I was checking the guitars when I ran into this tall guy who looked at me and said "the emos don't belong here just the real musicians". I said "idiot, I'm not an emo I'm just a better looking human than you". He looked at me barked and then said "watch your back new kid". He left with his dumb friends as I rolled my eyes the most beautiful girl looked at me and said "wow you got gut". I froze in how beautiful she was. Was i blushing maybe falling in love. She said "hi I'm Rebel". I said "hi I'm blue, oh and yeah I deal with guys like that in my old school all the time". "She said yeah Jack is a jerk in my school too but no one ever has the guts to stand up to him". "Are you telling oof that jerk again Rebel" I heard coming from a guy who looked like he was from the 90s grunge era (similar to me). Rebel said "this is Jackson my best friend" I waved while I sat down and started having a conversation with them. Turns out Rebel plays bass and sings and Jackson plays drums. We even made a band and became friends but I decided not to tell Billie. Billie then came over with Rocky as both Jackson and Rebels mouths hung open. "Are you having fun yet or did you pick a guitar yet"? I said "yes dad I was just making some new friends". They both said "is your dad Billie Joe Armstrong!" Next thing I new we were all talking about Billie and his stories. After about an hour (yeah that long) I eventually left without a guitar because nothing can beat Christie and Rocky got a cool beginner drum set. After about a few tourist stops where I got to see the real city we went back home and in that time I was texting the band. We decided to name our band NVRMND. We all love nirvana but it was just because we liked the name. We made a plan to do band practice at Jackson's house earlier on in the week and Billie said yes (but he doesn't think it's band practice). When we got back to the house Rocky ran ti his room to set up the drum set while Billie grabbed my hand and showed me to the music room. When I walked in Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool was standing there while I stood with excitement. Mike said "hey there little Bill" and Tré said "heyy, haha mini Bill." After Tré hugged me till I couldn't feel a breath Billie yelled at him to put me down. (All I could do was laph). After they finished playing it was almost dinner time. All three stepped out of the room as I picked up billies guitar blue and shredded that thing. Then I picked up Mikes bass and played some songs on it when I saw Billie Mike and Tré watching the whole time. Mike looked up and said "that's so cool we didn't know you played, Billie never told us, I def have to teach you more" then Tré said "yooo mini Bill that was awesome I have to teach you drums" I said "I know some drums too" then Billie looked at me a little mad as I quieted down. " sorry for using blue" I said with a sad look. Billie just said "sorry why you sorry my daughter just played the greatest songs on MY guitar that's amazing". "So your not mad?" "Not at all but next time just ask before using blue but you rocked"! I ran off and of course I told Natalia about what happened while she was doing her homework. (She's super epic) Billie and I eventually got to the kitchen for dinner after Mike and Tré left. We sat down and talked about our day while eating an amazing pot of spaghetti and meatballs. I decided after dinner to go to my room and watch some tiktok and talk to my friends and group chats. Billie walks in and starts to to ask me to tell him more about myself and my life. I talked about my music life and my family's divorce and some old friends and the fact that I did karate for 8 years. Eventually I got to my sexuality and gender. I just told him that I was pansexual and genderfluid. He asked me if I was still his little girl. "Little?" I Said while he had a worried look on his face. When I was done laphing, I talked about my Fanpage and the group chat and Natalia. He seemed so interested and excited to know I friends especially good ones like her. And the group chat he seemed happy I had people to talk to. Eventually I was finished and he seemed astonished! Billie said "goodnight" and I got up and he hugged me super tight and after that I ran to everyone's rooms and said goodnight. I ran back to my room and had my nice late night talk with my friends and my new band. Tomorrow was our band practice so I had to write some extra songs and cool band logo ideas (I was way to excited). However Billie doesn't have to know. I was ready for the even bigger day for me.
