My Brother Comes To Visit (Green Day)

Chapter Two

                I laughed at Tre and helped him off the bus so I could hug him and the two other boys followed in suite. They left their stuff in the bus, but they would probably go back and get it later. I led the boys up to my three story house and was almost dragging Tre so I could give them a tour. We met Faith at the door and she smiled at Tre, Mike, and Billie. She had met them all a few times because we go to some of their concerts and they used to visit quite a bit when we were younger and she had met Tre millions of times because she had been my best friend since we were in sixth grade. Tre hugged Faith, and Billie and Mike nodded at her like they thought they were cool. Key word: thought.

                “Hello again Tre. Nice to see you again after five million light years!” Faith told Tre in a joking voice. She rolled her eyes and playfully punched Tre in the arm. Tre shook his head and laughed. Faith looked toward Mike and Billie and she stopped for a moment longer than she should have at Billie. Nobody else but me could have caught it, though, because I am her best friend and I am the only one who notices those slight changes. I shrugged it off and put it in the back of my mind to deal with later.

                I really wanted to show the boys what I had done with my home so I decided to start the tour. “Okay guys, TIME TO SEE MY WONDERFUL HOME!!!” Billie and Mike laughed at me while Tre just cringed from the volume of my voice.

                “Seriously Liza, bring the volume down!” I laughed at Tre and smiled at the fact he called me by my nickname. He always used to call me that because I would always lie about stealing his cake from the fridge, so he started calling me lie-za but as we grew older it became Liza.

                I laughed and started towards the stairs so we could start the tour upstairs. “Up we go so we can start upstairs.” I began as we got to my room. “This is my wonderful room that is locked so you guys can’t get into it unless you have a key or you are given permission by my voice activated permission.  Further down the hall is Faith’s room here which also has a lock on it, but she has the key, it is her voice, and you have to know a code. The code was so I could get into the room without having to have her permission.” Billie blushed at this because when I was little I would always go into Tre’s room without permission and one time when Billie was over I burst in the room while he was getting dressed because Tre had stolen my wallet and I needed it for a jacket I wanted at Hot topic. None of us have let him forget that or how red his face was.

                I took one look at Billie and burst out laughing until I couldn’t breathe. Faith looked at me all weird and finally came to my rescue. “Breathe Eliza! Air is good for you!” I laughed even harder at this because it was an ongoing joke between Faith and I. She smiled and patted my back until I was breathing again. When I finally regained composer I looked at Mike, Billie, and Tre and almost lost it again but got a hold of myself.

                “Come on Eliza, it wasn’t that funny! Plus it was like a million years ago!” Billie tried to protect his pride but it just didn’t work.

                My brother decided to butt in at this moment. “No dude, it was really that funny. You should see your face right now. I bet it was three times as red back then!” mike high fived Tre and they laughed at Billie. Billie being the child he stuck his tongue out at them and that just made them laugh more.

                “Alright guys, on with the tour! Down the rest of this hallway is just guest rooms and Tre’s room. All of the three guest rooms are decorated differently and, Mike and Billie,” I looked at them making sure I had their attention, “You have to pick out your rooms later.” They both said okay and I continued. “Well, now that the top floor is finished you may see my room but not for very long! I don’t want a repeat of last time when you guys went through all my clothes…” All three of the guys snickered and Faith rolled her eyes. She heard all about that day. They went through my clothes and found all my under garments then decided that wasn’t enough and somehow got into Faith’s room and got Faith’s too. We were both still mad at them for that. But we got them back by dying all their hair green because they are Green Day. It was amazing.
