PART 2 here

“Morning Y/N,” you hear none other than Mr. John Lennon say as you walk by him through the school gates. He and his other teddy boy friends like to hang out there in the mornings as if waiting around outside until the bell rings makes them rebellious. 

“Lennon,” you note in response. John and you could not be more opposite, he always makes comments on how much of a goodie two shoes you are, being the head girl and top of your classes. He on the other hand is always causing trouble and finding his way to the headmaster’s office. He looks like someone you who you would not want to fuck with, but you always appear friendly and open to chat.

You walk a few metres ahead and hear a few footsteps running towards you and soon find him stood by your side. 

“May I ask a favour of you?” John asks, and you roll my eyes. He’s always been asking you for help, because he knows you’ll give it to him. It’s been this way since you were children. You two have known each other your whole lives, living down the street from one another and despite your major differences in actions, you have quite similar personalities and have always found a common ground. 

People are often quite shocked to see when you do hang out together, but you guys don’t think you’re so different to one another.

“Hm, let me guess, you need help with an assignment?” You say knowingly with a smirk.

“Y’know you’re getting good at this guessing game y/n,” he says with a wink.

“I wonder why? Not because you’re coming to me for help every month of course,” you tell him.

“I like when you help me but, it makes more sense than when the teachers try and explain it,” he says, wrapping his arm around your shoulders and rubbing you arm encouragingly. You push him off laughing.

“You don’t have to try and charm me John, I’ll help you,” you tell him as you two begin the journey up the stairs to your first classes.

“Thank you! Meet me after school then? At the gates?” He suggests, and you respond with a nod, parting ways and going on with your day. You have enough of your own school tasks piling up, but you’ll always make time for John, just as he’s always made time for you. Besides, he was the one to introduce rock and roll music to you and has always given you his singles that he didn’t want. He also was the only person there for you when you felt like you had nobody, so you feel like you owe him a lot. 

The school day ends and just as John had suggested to you this morning, you make you’re way down to the front gates and spot him with his other teddy boy friends, just as you’d seen him this morning. He greets you with a smile and parts from his friends as you two begin your walk home. 

John light’s up a cigarette, which he offers you a drag of, although you turn it down not liking how they feel on your throat. John laughs and tells you how he doesn’t like it either, but it doesn’t stop him which you explain to him that you can’t understand. 

“It’s just rock n’ roll y/n,” he tells you, raising his eyebrows with a grin, laughing at how cliché he sounds.

You finally reach your street and you two decide to go to John’s house to avoid your siblings as they love to pester you and John for hours on end. 

John’s Aunt Mimi isn’t home, so you two work at the kitchen table. He makes you both a cup of tea and explains his task and what he doesn’t understand. It isn’t hard for you, school has always come naturally to you, not John. It’s almost like you two were meant to be friends to help each other, you two have a very reciprocal friendship. 

After being with John for a couple of hours, working on helping him with school work, while also doing some of your own, Mimi comes home and greets you warmly. You were like a shining light to her amongst John’s male friends that she thought were rough hooligans. She was always happy to see you around because it meant John wasn’t causing any trouble. You say your farewells and walk the few houses down the street back to your place, and continue with your night. You fall asleep thinking about your friendship with John, how special it is and how lucky you are to know him.

The next day, you two don’t see each other in the morning, but John makes sure to find you during your lunch period to tell you the results of his paper.

“I got a B!” He tells you happily sliding his paper towards you on the table that you are sat at with your friends. They all give each other whispers, all finding John to be a dream, which has always made you laugh. You pick it up, examining the the red marked letter at the top of the page with the words also marked by his teacher ‘Lovely work John.’ You smile at how well he did.

“I never thought I’d see John Lennon so happy to do well at school,” you say with a smile, considering the fact that he always tells you how much of a waste of time he thinks it is.

“Well I couldn’t have done it without you y/n. You saved me,” he says smiling and giving you a wink as he grabs his paper and struts away back to the lads he sits with. You smile to yourself, shaking your head at him.
