I'm Happy Just to Dance with You

~So I'm new at this sort of thing. I'm apologizing in advance if I bore you with my horrible story.

Comment on what you think.

~Chapter 1

I was walking to school on a slightly coldish September day. I was wearing a white skirt with a blue shirt and my jean jacket that goes with my leather boots. The year was 1958 and I was 15 years old. I had just moved to Liverpool, England from America.

While I was walking I guess I wasn't paying attention because I bumped into someone and dropped my books. It was a boy. He looked about my age and had his hair up in a teddy boy style with a leather jacket on and jeans. I also noticed that he was carrying a guitar on his back. He was actually pretty cute.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there," I mumbled. "It's alright, I'm George by the way, George Harrison" he said in an adorable British accent. "I'm Julia, Julia Burk."

"Oh, so your the new american bird," said George as he handed me my books. 'Did he just call me a bird' I thought. "Yep, I moved here about a week ago," I replied. "Where are you from?" he asked. "Chicago" I answered almost instantly. Not knowing what else to say all I said was, "Well, today is my first day at school and I don't want to be late, see you around" I said as I started walking away. "Wait,"he called, "I was wondering if you wanted to,uh, hang out sometime and I could show you around Liverpool?" he asked hopefully. I thought about it and said I would. He smiled at me and walked away.

I went to my locker to put my backpack away and to get my books. My first class was Algebra. When I got to class the first thing I noticed was that George was there. When he saw me he smiled at me and I smiled back. As soon as I walked in the door the teacher spoke. "So you must be the new student. I'm Mrs.Jones by the way. Why don't you tell the class about yourself?"

All of a sudden my palms started to become all sweaty and my voice went away. I hate talking in front of people. I get scared and freeze. Everyone had their eyes on me. "Um... uh..... M-my name is Julia Burk and I just moved here from Chicago in America about a week ago." The teacher saved me from having to say anymore. "Very nice you may go sit down next to...George Harrison." I was relieved of not having to sit next to someone I was a total stranger to.

As I walked over to my seat George looked up and smiled at me. I sat down next to him and put my books on the desk. I looked over at him and I saw that he was looking at me as well. I smiled at him and tried to keep my attention on the teacher. I ended up talking to George the whole time. We even got yelled at by the teacher who threatened to move us if weren't quiet.

I got my lunch and sat down next to my only friend, John Lennon, and his friends. He has light brown hair with brown eyes. He's plays in guitar in his band called The Quarrymen. He also sings in it and is actually quite good. He's really funny but can be serious when he wants to.

"Where are we gonna find a new guitarist? We don't have much time before our next gig." John complained. "John, I'm sure we'll find a new one before the gig."said John's friend, Paul McCartney, "We have enough time to at least find someone to sit in on this one." That's when John turned to me. "Julia, You don't happen to know anyone who plays guitar,do ya?," John said hopefully. I thought about it and then I remembered the conversation I had with George. "Um, yeah I do. I've never actually heard him play, but he said he's been playing for a couple of years. So I'm sure he's pretty good."

At that moment George came and sat across from me. " 'Ello Julia." he said. "Hey, George I'd like you to meet my friend John, John this is George. He's the one I told you about." John studied him for a while and I could tell it was making George uncomfortable. "So you play guitar?" John asked George. "Yeah I've been playing for a couple years now." John looked at the others and they all nodded. John spoke up and said "How would you like to try out for our band the Quarrymen?" George thought about it and said yes. "Great come to Paul's house tonight at 7:00 and bring your guitar."

After school George ran up to me. "Do you mind if I walk you home?" he asked. "Sure why not," and he grabbed my hand.

"So I was thinking why don't you show me around today and we could head to Paul's house afterwards?" I said facing him. "Sure. Do you mind if we pick up my guitar on the way there?" he asked looking at me."Not at all"

I walked to my house and so I could put my things away. "Mom," I shouted, "I'm going out". "That's fine just don't stay out too late" she hollered back from the basement.

I walked out of my house and faced George who was waiting patiently for me. "So, are you ready?" I asked excitedly and linked my arm with his.
