A/N: Hey again (: I'm so happy that Tell Me What You See has gotten so many great reviews in only two days! You guys rock :D And yes, George IS totally awesome P:

My body collapsed against the cool P.E. locker. Finally, last period. Friday had taken way too long to get here.

"Well someone's tired today," one of the girls around me muttered. I groaned in reply. All I had to do was get through 7th period alive and then I'd be awau from Elvis-boy for the weekend. The only problem was that he was in the same P.E. period as me. Well, at least there were Paul and my newest aquaintance, George...

The sun was blinding when I slipped out of the locker room. Warm-ups went by quickly, thank god. Soon we were getting ready to do the actual curriculum. Today's activity was soccer, thankfully one of my best sports. Looking around as we were numbered off, I saw Paul get the same number as me. George was on the other team, sadly, but a couple of my girl friends were with me. Then the teacher passed Elvis.

"Crap.."

"What?" my friend Shelby, sitting next to me, asked.

"Nothing... Just this jerk is on our team."

"Oh dear, is it another 'He Who Must Not Be Named' thing?"

I shook my head, resisting a smile. "Nah, love, it's different. Him and I were never friends, and we never will be."

"Ey, you're the one that's been giving me death glares. What's the matter, love, don't you like what you see?" Oh, how I wanted to slap that smirk off of his pretty face.

"Not unless it involved you jumping off a cliff or burning. Take your pick, either way, I'll be happy."

"Ow, love, that stings." He pretended to cringe. "Now give us a kiss." Right on cue he winked.

"Not if my life depended on it, creeper," I shot back coldly.

"Now, that's not very nice, hun."

"I don't care, I don't need to be nice to y-"

"Ey, Johnny!"

All three of us turned to see Paul heading toward us. "Ey, look, it's Paulie!" "Johnny " said with a grin.

"Hey, Paul," I said, looking at him.

He smiled at me. "Hey, Mandy."

"Whoa, you know her? This chick's been nothing but ice cold to me all week," Johnny interrupted.

"Yeah, she's my Language Arts buddy." Another grin.

"I still don't understand how you two got into classes a year above you." John shook his head.

"What, is John Lennon not used to being shown up?" Paul teased.

"Hell no." Smirk.

"Well, ya better get used to it."

"Hey! You four! Get to playing or ya'll will get marked down!" the P.E. teacher yelled at us, walking over. "Well, if it isn't Lennon. Quit harassing my freshmen and get back to your sophmore class."

"Aw, teach, it's all good. We're all friends, here."

"Speak for yourself," I said under my breath.

"I don't care, Lennon. You were enough of a handful last year. Now get to class."

"Sure thing, teach." WInking, he ran off toward his class.

"Now you three better play," the teacher warned.

"That's what we were gonna do," Shelby replied, trying not to be a smartass.

"Then get to it!"

Walking away, Shelby whispered, "...Bitch." I don't know why, but we all found that extremely funny. It just seemed to work.

"Sooo, " I started, "That John guy's a 10th grader?"

"Yep," Paul confirmed. "Been one of me best mates since fourth grade."

I spun around to face him. " What! You're actually friends with that... that thing!"

"Ey, don't give him such a hard time, his life's been rough," he insisted.

"And you think most kids our age haven't had hard lives! You don't know shit 'bout me."

The silence that followed was short, but deafening.

"Well, maybe I want to."

I looked up at him, suprise leaking through my frustration. He stared straight back at me, unafraid. "I do want to get to know you, Mandy, but when you act like this, you make it very difficult." His large hazel eyes seemed to see everything about me at once. It wasn't unsettling, suprisingly.

"Well, maybe I make it hard so people actually have to try." With that, I turned away, trying not to cry as I went to go play soccer.

A/N: I just realised that so far, most of my chapters have ended on a down note. I need to fix that (: ...Wow, I made John an asshole XD though I guess I'm not much better myself am I?
