How To Be Scene For Dummies
Chapter 1
First thing I normally do is put my knife into my pocket when I wake up. Then I know if I get into a fight I'll be save. Normally I pass out from getting to drunk or just fall asleep from a busy day recording for our new record. Life is sweet but bad at the same time. Trust me being Scene isn't as easy as people think, Jdog normally says "Oh Charlie, you have life easy! You get chicks, get freaky with them, get drunk and black out." Some of that isn't even true. Well maybe it is. My life isn't just that. I kind of like this girl from all the other chicks around Hollywood. Well she didn't come from Hollywood. She came from the UK. I met her at a gig sometime ago. Then she moved here and I kept on seeing her in the bar I go to. She smiles sweetly at me and always greets me when I get to the bar. I don't know if she just likes me 'cause I rap and sing good but she sure likes me.
This morning I got up, shaved, put on my scene gear and headed to town. I was hoping to meet up with Jdog and the others. By 10am, I was already on my 2nd beer. I don't know why I start drinking in the day. I mean the night is were you can get action but not in the day. The girls are out at there jobs in the strips but their no fun. I mean it's not like many strippers go home with you. I met up with Jdog, Danny and Da Kurlzz later in the day so we went down to the bar we usually go to. That's were that girl hangs out at and she was there like normal. She greeted me at the door. I told the guys to go get a beer and gave them some money for drinks so I could get to know this girl more. I didn't even know her name but her prettiness drew me in. I wanted know more about her. "Hi!" I said to her and she turned around from the bar. Her pretty eyes glowed and she blushed slightly when I greeted her. "Hello, I have been seeing you around here a lot. Your Charlie Scene, right? From Hollywood Undead?" She said. Her voice was like an angel's. I was already drew in by this girl. Her British accent was still strong even though she had been in Hollywood for some time now. "Yeah" I said leaning back on my bar stool thinking there was a back on it and fell backwards onto the floor. "Are you okay?" She yelled looking at me on the floor. "Yeah. I'm fine" I said brushing the dust off my hoodie and got back up onto my bar stool, embarrassed. We chatted for a while just about the band. "Over there is Jdog, Danny and Da Kurlzz." I said, pointing at my drunk band members. I realised I hadn't got a drink from the bar yet so I ordered a pint of beer for myself and a glass of wine for the British girl. "By the way. My real name is Jordon Terrell and you?" I said looking into the girls hazel eyes. "I'm Randi Pentzer." She smiled at me as I looked into her eyes. Danny came over to me. "We better get home." He said pointing to his watch. 1am. I was surprised the bar tender hadn't kicked us out by now. The bar closed at 3am and normally they wanted to get the drunkies out before 12. "Yeah. You're right Danny." I said and told him to get Jdog and Da Kurlzz to wait for me outside. "I'll see you later, Randi. Maybe tomorrow." I said to the pretty girl. "I'll be here." She replied. I walked to the door and pushed my way outside. Da Kurlzz and Danny were having a cig. They offered one to me but I didn't feel like having one. I was too in love to have one.
After the boys had finished smoking, we headed back. I dropped Danny and Da Kurlzz home and walked most of the way with Jdog. He lived near me. We could hear gun shots from the streets of Hollywood. Now it was night and the gangsta's were out in there prime like vampires, they would attack people on the streets, preying on the people who walked the night. As we walked, we passed a few homeless people gathered around a fire warming there flesh while chugging down bottles of booze and taking drugs which they had bought with the money they had gotten while out begging in the streets. Around the comer of the street there was some street artists spray painting the walls down an ally. Their hoods were rapped tightly around there head so that people couldn't recognize them, if they were to be caught by cops but few cops walked the streets at night which was very stupid seen as though all the crimes in Hollywood take place at night. Stupid cops! One thing I wanted to do was get home safely with out talking to the drunken Jdog but the second thing I wanted to do was tell him all about the girl at the bar. I thought that maybe I should keep it a secret for a while as Jdog would probably tell the others and Johnny would get very upset. You see Johnny has a thing for me. He likes my eyes, the way they sparkle in the light but I did have a thing for him too. I mean he's pretty sexy. His body is so perfect. I don't want Johnny to know. It would break his heart. Anyway for all I knew Randi could have already had a boyfriend or a husband. She looked young so I didn't think she would be married. If she was taken I'd go back to loving Johnny or Jdog. Soon we reached Jdog's street. He didn't live in such a good home. I mean it was nearly falling down. He seemed happy though. I guess he's lucking not to be experiencing the life of a druggie on the streets. I said goodbye to my best buddy and started to walk down to my place. It wasn't to far from Jdog's house. I had my head down low as I walked home. My heart was aching and I didn't know what to do. Maybe tomorrow I'd just tell her how I felt about her or just seduce her. Soon I got home. I lived at my parents, not the best place but it was better than living where Jdog lived or worse on the streets. My mom and dad was asleep so I had to be quiet so I didn't wake them. I crept to my room and pushed my way in. It had a few posters in there, a radio, a bed and my guitar. I couldn't afford much else. I made my way through the empty beer cans and empty taco bags which plastered the floor and then flopped onto my bed. I was exhausted but for once I wasn't too drunk. I took off my hoodie and bandana's and got into bed. I stared at the ceiling for a while and then drifted off to sleep.
