It was cold for a summer day in California the first time Billie saw her. She strolled through the school gates, blonde shoulder length hair falling carelessly around her face, her heavy Doc Marten shoes making her presence known in the quiet of the lesson time school. He elbowed his friend
"New girl looks like she could be friends with us," he smirked, taking in her black 'mom' jeans and white New Order 'substance' top. Mike hummed in agreement and lay back on the grass, still a little high from the joint they'd smoked earlier.

The next time he saw her was in maths, she sat next to him, looking at him for a moment, blue eyes scanning his face
"What's your name?" She asked, surprising him with her British accent, though it was unlike any he had heard before
"Um- Billie," he answered "Billie Joe," he added, a little unsure as to why he felt the need to fill in that information. She nodded, an amused smirk on her features
"Lucy," she answered "dad loved the beetles, I just moved here from Manchester," she clarified with a slight grimace. "Anyway..Nice to meet you Billie Joe," she grinned
"You too..uh.. just Billie is fine," he answered sheepishly.
