“Well, bust a bitch, what the hell happened to you?” Anne says when she opens the door, sees my face. She loves our music and lets us practice in the backyard. I smile; I love to hear her talk. With her leftover Texas accent, hell sounds like two syllables.

“Got in a fight,” I say, coming through the door.

“You should see the other guy,” Rosie pipes up, coming in from the living room. Craig’s outside on the drum set, practicing. Anne takes out a cigarette, offers me the pack and some matches. I light hers, then mine.

“Well, sing it for me,” she says. “That new one you been working on.” Rosie smiles. I get the beat going and we find a pitch. The lyrics are still messy, but the point is clear—hippies got to go, the day belongs to Punks. Anne claps when we’re done. Roy and Glenn show up a few minutes later, do the whole “what the hell happened to you” thing, then we sit down to plan the next weekend. Craig knows a guy that’s having a yard party and wants us to play.

“It’s out in Montclair,” he says. Rosie and I look at each other and bust out laughing. The guys look at us strange. We laugh more, out of control. It’s so weird how I have one life with school and the band, and a whole other one with Mark and Jack and the older Punks I know. Rosie crosses through both. Skinny little Rosie, with her big brown eyes. Sweet kitten girl except when you piss her off. She’ll pee on the side of the road with the guys. Cry in my arms like a baby.

“What?” Glenn asks, looking at us both, still laughing.

“Montclair sucks, man,” Rosie explains.
