I'm Happy Just to Dance with You

~Chapter 10

The next day I was getting dressed. I wanted to look nice since I was gonna see George today. I put on my necklace that matched my outfit and looked in the mirror.

I went down stairs to get a quick breakfast of cereal and toast.

I quickly left because I realized I was going to be late for school. I ran quickly and stuffed my things in my locker and got my books.

I got there just in time when everyone else was going in the class. I sat down and put my books on the table. George came quickly afterwards.

"Hi" I said as he sat down. The teacher started talking about today's lesson.

"Hey, are ye going to our band pra-"

"Pay attention and stop talking. I don't want to have to move you" Mrs. Jones yelled. George quickly scribbled something on a smpall piece of paper.

The note read: We'll talk later

~**~

I walked out of class hand in hand with George. I turned around and saw Kaithlyn wink at me and I smiled. "What was it that you were gonna ask me" I asked remembering the note.

"Oh I was gonna ask you if you were coming to our band practice today" he squeezed my hand. "Yeah I am. Do you guys know what songs you're gonna play?" I asked wondering what songs they will practice.

"Well Paul and John wrote a song and they were gonna show it to us. So I'm that we'll practice that for a bit and few others." he explained.

Then I remembered that Paul told me about that and that I was supposed to stay later at his house. I just didn't tell anyone because I was worried that George would get jealous. Well it sort of is but not really. I'm just gonna show him how I play. No big deal.

~**~

I was walking to Paul's house. I was a bit nervous because of later.

'Ugh, I make a big deal out of everything' I thought to myself.

Paul told me to just go around to the back so that's exactly what I did.

"Hey guys"

"Hey Julia" they all said in together but I noticed that Paul wasn't there. I saw George's face light up as he saw me come around. I went and sat down next to him.

Paul came out with his guitar and a piece of paper which I guessed the song was written on. He and John both explained to everybody what chords to play but I quickly zoned out.

I came back to reality when I heard Paul start to sing:

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you

Tomorrow I'll miss you

Remember I'll always be true

And then while I'm away

I'll write home everyday

And send all my loving to you

~**~

All my loving I will send to you

All my loving darling I'll be true

All my loving all my loving ooh

All my loving I will send to you

"So what do you think?" Paul asked with excitement in his voice.

"You guys were amazing. I can't believe that you guys wrote that yourselves." I told them.

"Yep. Me and Paul wrote it." John said proudly as he put his hand on his shoulder. I could tell Paul was proud too. They still need a little more practice otherwise it was perfect.

They practiced the song a few more times and they got better each time. At the end of practice Paul's father, Jim, came out with some lemonade. He gave each of us a glass.

~**~

"Are you sure you don't want me to walk you home" George begged. "No I'm fine. I just have to get something here." I kissed him on the cheek and said "See you tomorrow." He kissed me on the cheek "Bye" and I watched him walk away and turn a corner.

It was just me and Paul now.

"So are you ready to have your ears bleed?" I asked Paul.

"You can't be that bad"

"Just wait."

He gave me a guitar but it was left handed. I remembered the guitar I had at home which I never play anymore. I quickly ran home to get it.

"I've got it"

"Great"

I started playing a random song and I began to sing. I've been told I could sing but I didn't think so.

"So what'd you think" I asked looking up at him. "You were really good. And your voice was amazing" he told me. I wasn't sure if he was lying or not.

"You liar" I said to him. "No I'm serious" he laughed.

"You tell yourself that" I said sarcastically which caused Paul to laugh. "I'm not joking. Your better than you think." I didn't know what to say. "So...um... didn't you say you were gonna show me a few chords."

"Oh right. I'm left handed so it's gonna be mirrored." He played a few chords and started showing me how to do it.

~**~

I finished strumming. I finally got it. "Yes finally. I did it!" I yelled out happily. Paul laughed at me. "Hey, I did pretty good" I said pretending to be offended. But that just made Paul laugh even more.

"You were good. You just need to practice more." he said as he was playing.

"I know I haven't played it since before I moved here"

"Here's another chord" he placed his fingers on the neck and I tried to copy the way his fingers went. Then he started strumming so I did too.

I wasn't used to it so I messed up when I was changing positions. "No like this" he leaned over and moved my finger to correct fret.

I looked up at him and my eyes locked with his and we just looked at each other for a while. "So like this?" I started playing to break the tension.

"Perfect" he said awkwardly. "For once I'm actually good at playing guitar" I stated still believing that I sucked.

"No your pretty good"

"Yeah sure" I joked. I looked at the clock to see what time it is."Oh I have to go. Its almost dinner time and my mother will be getting worried."

"Well if you want to you could stay for dinner" he offered me.

"No I couldn't do that."

"It's fine. Were happy to have you"

"Okay let me call my mom though"
