4th September 1984
I smiled at Krist, who was waving from near to the back of the bus. I made my way towards him, and sat in the seats on the other side of the aisle to him and Kurt. Kurt nodded at me and smiled as I sat down. I put my feet up on the seat next to me, as nobody ever sat there, and put the headphones on attached to my Walkman. The first Ramones record played as I stared at the seat where I rested my feet, wondering who the fuck designed the covers for the bus seats, they were hideous. Kurt did the same in his seat, and Krist was talking, well shouting, to some kid a couple of rows in front of him. That's one thing I loved about Krist, he could have a conversation with just about anyone. I was snapped out of my trance when I felt the bus come to a stop. Realising we weren't at school yet, I went back to my thoughts.
"EVE!" Krist practically shouted in my ear, making me jump out of my skin.
"What the fuck-"
Krist motioned to a tall stranger who was stood looking at me expectantly.
"Do you mind if I sit here"
"Shit, sorry, yeah go ahead"
I pulled off my headphones, deciding I should at least attempt to make conversation with someone other than Krist and Kurt for once. It was the stranger, however, who spoke first.
"What are you listening to?"
"The Ramones, you like them?"
He turned so that he was fully facing me. It was only then I got a proper look at him. He had dark brown eyes, almost black, the same as mine, and long brown hair to his shoulders. It was in that moment, I decided that in the entirety of my short 15 years of life so far, this was the most attractive person I had ever seen.
He then motioned to his shirt, a black shirt with the classic white Ramones logo on it.
"No."
He smiled. I laughed with him, and held out my hand.
"I'm Eve Gordon"
"Dave Grohl"
He shook my hand and shifted slightly in his seat, so he was completely facing me. Behind him, I noticed Kurt and Krist making 69 gestures and laughing.
"Fuck off" I laughed and flipped them both off.
"Me?" Dave asked nervously.
"No, those two pricks"
Krist waved with an overly cheesy smile and Kurt did the same.
"Oh, hi, are these your friends?" Dave asked me again.
"No, she just gets payed to look after us retards" Kurt butted in. I nodded in approval.
"I'm Krist Novoselic and this is my good friend and ex lover Kurt Cobain" Krist joked.
"Oh just fuck each other already!" Some girl from the front of the bus shouted. Another thing about Krist, he had a really fucking loud voice. Krist laughed and flipped her off. That girl was Shelli, Krist's girlfriend. He didn't want anybody know, because in his words his "love life and school life should not mix". That seemed like a pretty stupid philosophy, however, she always sits with us at lunch and they're always flirting, I'm pretty sure everyone knows already. He told her to sit away from him on the bus though, just to be safe, even though Kurt and I have told him that everyone knows anyway.
"So, what other bands are you into?" Dave resumed our conversation.
"The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, Led Zeppelin, The Who, pretty much anything my dad plays in his car"
"Fuck off, we are literally the same fucking person"
I laughed , remembering what shirt I had on under my jacket. I unzipped it and motioned to it, revealing the same black and white Ramones shirt that Dave was wearing.
"No fucking way"
"Krist, look" I laughed.
"Well, look at the married couple wearing matching outfits and having fun, you make me sick" Krist said sarcastically.
We had soon enough arrived at school, and as the school bus always dropped us off around half an hour before we actually had class, I decided to give Dave the tour. Kurt and Krist went to their lockers, and we got Dave's timetable from the office.
"Ooh, you've got every class with me apart from maths and gym"
"Figures, I'll probably be with the retards for maths, I'm shit at it"
I laughed,and led him down the corridor.
"Here we have the fake, popular bitches that hate any girl who could be considered more attractive than them" I spoke, putting on a tour guide voice as we walked through the halls. As we turned I corner I noticed Dave start running. He was running towards where 4 of the football players had cornered a freshman, and were beating the shit out of him.
"Get the fuck off him!" Dave grabbed hold of one of them and dragged him off of the kid.
"Oh yeah, what are you going to do you scrawny little prick?"
The rest of his group had turned around now, and the kid was sat on the ground clutching his stomach, resting against the wall. Dave punched the tallest one square in the face, almost definitely breaking his nose and causing him to fall to the floor. As Kurt and Krist's lockers were close to where we stood, they must have heard the commotion and came to see what was happening. I smiled as I watched their faces fall in horror as Krist walked over to us. Even the football players were intimidated by Krist, he was a fucking giant, 6"8 at least.
"What's going on here?" he asked calmly.
They all stayed silent, as they knew that Krist could see the kid on the floor.
"Now, if you do anything like this again I will not hesitate to put you in the fucking ground, understand me?"
They nodded and backed away. I helped the kid up, and asked if he was okay before letting him go to class.
"Did you do this?" Krist asked Dave, motioning to the football player that Dave punched,who was still sat in the same spot. Dave nodded proudly.
"Not a bad start to the year, Grohl"
