Chapter One: This Girl
I honestly do not know how I ended up with George Harrison. Compared to the blue-eyed and blonde beauties that went to my school, I was nothing. I had boring, straight black hair. I had bangs that covered my entire forehead. No boy would lust for someone like me. I mean, seriously! Due to my bad eyesight, my mother forces me to wear these hideous cat-eye glasses. Ugh. I wish that I was normal. I also wish that my eyes were a bright blue, or hazel. Like that really cute boy in my science class. James Paul McCartney. But alas, my eyes are a bland brown. There were a lot of things that I hated about myself. I was always known as the quiet one. I was really shy, and rarely talked. But that was before John, James, and George came into my life.
As I said before, I barely talk. I'm the complete opposite of my best friend Bonnie, who was actually a blue eyed blonde. She was gorgeous, but not very intelligent. I loved her anyways.
It was the beginning of a new school year, 9th grade. It wasn't very scary,though. The whole 9th grade had the same students from my previous school years. I never actually talked to any of them, though.
"Hey! Violet!" Bonnie yelled out to me as she ran towards the school building.
"Hi,Bonnie. Can't you believe that we're finally in ninth grade?"I asked.
"No! But that means we're finally high-schoolers! Which also means that it's time that you change into a woman," Bonnie said, winking.
"What? What are you talking about? You've gone daft!" I laughed.
"What I'm saying is that you need to come out of your shell, Violet. You're so pretty, yet so shy. And I know you have some feelings for that McCartney boy," Bonnie explained.
"I do NOT having feelings for James!" I said.
When I first moved here, the first friend I made was a neighbor. Paul McCartney. We instantly cliqued. He was a big brother to me in my eyes, but he definitely was attractive.
Bonnie was about to say something, but we went in seperate ways to our first period classes.
My first period was science. I knew everybody, but I never actually talked to them. I saw some kids,though. The first person I recognized was a tall boy with a baby face and hazel eyes that could make you melt in seconds. My best friend, Paul McCartney.
"Violet!" Paul waved.
"Macca! I can't believe that we have science together!" I yelled. Paul embraced me in a huge bear hug.
"Hello class, take your seats. I will be your science teacher, . If you don't cause trouble for yourself or others, this class will be easy and pleasant," said Mrs. Parker. "I have a seating chart. Please go to the back of the room."
After a couple of students, my name was finally called. I hope that I get to sit next to Macca.
"Violet, you will be sitting next to George," said .
Darn it. It turns out that Paul will be sitting in the front, while I'll be sitting in the back with George Harrison.
Let me get one thing straight. Girls like me do not associate with boys like George Harrison. Like all the other boys, George liked girls who looked like Brigitte Bardot. Surprisingly, George didn't glare. Instead, he looked at me in a mysterious way. His chiseled features and intenses brown eyes made him look...handsome. Agh! What? Okay okay, George was gorgeous, or should I say..."Georgeous"? Hahaha.
"Hello,um,I'm George. May I ask you what is your name?" Wow. George was really polite.
"Uh, I'm Violet. Pleasure to meet you." I said quietly.
George shook my hand. For a tough looking boy, I could see that there was more to him than just leather jackets and boots. I looked over to him, and saw that he was drawing guitars. I myself played guitars and sang, but I could never do that in public.
"Do you play?" I shyly asked him.
"Yeah. I love playing the guitar,"George said triumphantly.
"That's great. I play the guitar as well,"I said.
"Gear! Would you like to come and play with me for sometime? I just joined a band. They're called the Quarrymen," George told me. He sounded so excited.
"Yes, I would love to play!"I exclaimed. We then exchanged addresses.
It turned out that George only lived three houses away from me. I couldn't stop thinking about him for the rest of the day. I also found out that I had four classes with George. I had two classes with Bonnie, and three classes with Macca. And we all had the same lunch period. This year will be perfect!
When lunch came around, I looked for Bonnie and Macca through the sea of people. I finally found them at the fifth lunch table. They waved to me. I quickly ran over to them and I noticed that George sat right next to Paul. Now I remember Macca telling me something about this bloke who auditioned on a bus for his and John Lennon's band. Was this bloke the gorgeous and polite Teddy Boy George Harrison?
"George! What a pleasure to see you!" I said.
"Oh yeah, Violet. This is my friend George. The one who auditioned on a bus, remember?"Macca asked.
"Of course I remember."I said in a monotone.
"So George, do you have a special bird, or are you single and ready to mingle?"Bonnie asked.
"Um, I'm single. Why do you ask?"George said awkwardly.
"Oh,just wondering. You have really nice features, by the way,"Bonnie said.
"Thank you,"George blushed. I could tell that he was shy.
"Violet here is single as well,"Bonnie told George.
Oh my gosh,Bonnie. WHY? I thought.
I blushed. I looked over to Paul, to see him laughing.
Yep, I was right. This year is going to be great. But maybe Bonnie was right. Was I in need of a change?
