Alarm goes off

I turned over and smacked the snooze button.

5 minutes later the alarm goes off.

"Ugh! I hear you!" I got up from my bed and started a shower.

"Eleanor! you up?" Darren yelled from downstairs. I ignored him and got out of the shower and finished getting dressed. Darren opened the door without knocking and came in. "hey sweet cheeks, brekkie is downstairs waitin for ya." he walked out of my room not shutting my door completely.

"could of at least shut my door" I mumbled. Then started my makeup. The usual routine of cat eyeliner. I finished and went downstairs and ate breakfast. "Good morning" my mom said to me while walking through the kitchen. "Me and your dad have work today so we wont be here when you get home" she said then kissed my forehead.

"Okay, i'll get my key then. Also mom?" I said

"Yes Eleanor?"she turned around sounding annoyed.

I looked at her "Can I have a ride" I smiled practically begging.

"No, but your dad can drop you off" she said then started putting her jacket on.

"But mom, please I don't like Darren. He's weird..." I said while getting my backpack on.

"Eleanor grow up! stop calling him Darren, hes your stepdad. Now get in the car before I make you walk." She said and grabbed her purse and got in the car.

The car ride was pretty quiet "When you get home, do your chores" she said without looking off the road.

I ignored her. We arrived at school and I got out of the car. I seen John walking and he ran over to me.

"Hey, love" he said to me while my mom was still there. John left the girl he was talking to back at the benches. She death stared me.

"Its Penny" I said reminding him. He looked at me and kept up with my pace. "I was wondering if you wanted to go out and get something to eat after school"

"What about that girl you were talking to over there?" I said. Did I sound jealous? I hope not, because i'm not.

"Shes just a slag, shes not worth going out with" John said.

Slag? What does that mean? "Slag?" I said raising my eyebrow.

"A whore. You need to know some slang" He said as we sat at our desk.

Later in class

John kept poking me with pencils during notes. "John quit it" I said annoyingly. He batted his eyelashes at me."Don't ya think I look like a pretty bird" he said in a high pitched girly voice. I giggled. "Not as pretty as me"

He was taken back "I uh.." His face turned a bright red. I turned the other way and finished taking notes. "Tomorrow we are painting." he said without look up from his paper. I looked at what he was drawing, he was drawing Hitler taking over the class. "Sounds fun." I said and watched him. He made a funny face at me. "HAIL HITLER" He shouted while the teacher had her back towards John. Johns friends saluted Hitler on cue and began snickering. The class began snickering.

The teacher shot John and his friend a look which made them stop laughing.

Later at lunch

John was sitting at a table talking to some of his friends. I sat my stuff down and sat next to John "What do ye think ye doin' sittin here?" John said sorta annoyed and looked at his friends with a grin.

"Nothing of ye importance Lennon" I said mocking him. His friends raised a eyebrow at John. "You just got told mate" One of them said making the others snicker. John rolled his eyes at them. "Who's the bird john?" Said one of Johns friends. M"Penny" he said and shoved a full spoonful of mashed potatoes in his mouth.

"I'm Paul" Said the ted with black hair. He offered me his left hand. "I'm Penny" I smiled and shook his hand.n"Lovely name for a lovely bird." He added which made John glare at him. I blushed. John looked annoyed with Paul already.

"Ya, well shes my bird Paul." John said. Everyone at the table looked over at Paul. A Blond ted cleared his throat "i'm Stuart. You can call me Stu"

John started talking to Paul again. I wasn't really listening to them. I focused on eating.

"Ye, we still need a drummer though Paulie." John took out his glasses and put them on. Jeez, let me tell you, looked good with his hair greased like Elvis with Buddy Holly glasses on. John and his friends also wore leather. "Like what ye see love?" he said noticing I was staring at him.

"Don't flatter yourself John" Paul said looking at John then to me. "Sod off Macca" John said and flung some left over mashed potatoes towards Paul barely missing him. We finished lunch and I went to my next class, thankfully John wasn't in that class but Paul was.

"Hi" Paul whispered as he moved his seat next to mine. "Hi Paul" I whispered and smiled. "You sure you aren't Johns bird right?" he said while looking in my eyes. I looked around making sure no one was listening. "I don't think I am, but me and him are going somewhere after school."

He laughed. "Im warnin ya about John, he's a real mixer."

"I can handle him." I said not knowing what that meant.

"Have fun with that love." he said and gave me a sympathetic smile.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me and John met up in the courtyard and started watching 2 blokes have a scrap while others watched. "Ha always knew he was a bit weak" he laughed looking at the bloke on the ground. "Lets get out of here, ya? He said and grabbed my hand.

"So Penny, where's your flat?" he said looking at his feet.

"Flat?" I asked questionably. We walked through someones yard.

"Where you live?" he laughed.

I awkwardly looked at him. "Sorry, i'm not from here and that reminds me, can we walk back to my flat? I have some chores I have to do before I can go out."

He laughed. "Chores? yeah that's fine. Mimi doesn't make me do any housework"

We continued walking. "So, your from Florida? whats it like there?"

I looked at him. "Very warm, beach um... american."

He laughed. "Great description dear"

We walked in my flat. "Lovely place. Live here with your parents?" he said while looking around. "Ye, my mom and stepdad Darren." I said and sat my bag on the sofa.m"They nice?" he asked looking around the living room.

I ignored Johns question and started my chores. Honestly, i'm pretty good at ignoring people. John walked up into my room without me knowing, I heard Elvis start playing and I went up to my room finding John snooping in my Music records.

"John! what are you doing! get outt!" I started pushing him but he wouldn't budge "Oh come on love, other birds would love finding me in their bedroom" he smiled

"You wish Lennon!" I kept trying to push him and he started to annoy me. He picked up one of my buddy Holly sleeves. "Nice records you got love"

"Piss off John!" I said pushing his with my back. "Oh nooooo! i'm melting!" He screeched and started falling back on me. I crushed under the weight of him. He moved out of the way making me almost fall on my face.

"Lighten up Penny" He smiled. We ended up staying at my place and before we knew it, it was almost the time my parents get home.

"John my parents are going to be here in a few minutes" I told him practically telling him to leave nicely. "Alright, ill get outta your hairs now Penny, ill see ye tomorrow ya?" He said and swiftly went down my stairs.

"Yeah John, tomorrow" I said and opened the door for him.

He kissed my cheek quickly. "Ta love." he smiled and shut the door.
