Johnny/Peanut
"Come on, Boss! Do ya' wanna be late?" Peanut called over his shoulder to Johnny who was walking backwards dragging his feet along in the snow, as if making tracks in the three-inch fluff
"Maybe" Johnny replied with a shrug, truth was Johnny never looked this miserable unless something was really bothering him- and sensing it had to do with Lola, Larry was ready for Johnny's outburst
Peanut turned and walked up to him, "Whats up, Boss?" he asked
"I'm hungry" Johnny replied putting a hand over his flat belly, immedeatly it made a growling noise.
"We'll get food at school" Larry said reasonably
"No! I'd rather starve than eat tat crazy woman's cassrole again!" he shuddered- the last time he'd eaten the casserole he was sick in bed for a week.
"Okay.. well.." Larry sighed, "Howabout we get done early and I'll treat ya' to lunch after school?" he smiled
Johnny's eyes lit up. "Would ya' Peanut?" he asked
If Johnny knew anything going on in Larry's head he'd have understood why he suddenly looked hurt when Johnny called him Penaut. That was all he'd every be to Johnny- that was all he mattered to the clique. Even if they were best friends before Bullworth, Johnny insisted on calling him Peanut. He wished Johnny would stop- if no one else at least Johnny.
"Of course Boss!" he grinned, "Now come on or we'll be late!" he said tugging on his leather sleeved and turning to run towards the front gates, he heard Johnny's heavy foot steps not far behind.
Johnny would always have Peanut's back, and Larry's love, even if he didn't know it.
