Don't Get Bored, Ringo

Chapter 5: Little George

"So," Rose pulled out her notebook to find out where George is. "Mr. Harrison is at a school. An elementary school near Quarry Bank High School." She shuts her notebook and keeps it. Maybe George is a teacher? "Onward, my fellow Knights!" I say pointing forward. Rose said that this elementary school wasn't very far, so we all just decided to walk. While John and Pauline were in conversation, I decided to talk to Rose. "Um, Rose?" I look at her. She turns her heard towards me and smiles. "Yes, Mr. Starkey?" "Well, I was just wondering why I got sent to this world, exactly." "There are certain people in the universe, of whom I am forbidden to mention, who thought your life seems too boring for you. So, they decided to make this whole world just for you to have a more interesting life." She says.

"Well, now I have an interesting story to tell Mo and the guys-" Pauline butts in. "Erm, guys? You mean I'm a man in your world?!" She said, quite in disbelief. I laugh and nod. "Yeah! A girly looking one, might I add. But in a good way." She laughs and shakes her head. "I wonder what a girly looking man version of me looks!" Suddenly, I feel the pocket of my jeans and pull out a photo of me and the rest of the band. The version on my world, of course. I show it to John and Pauline. "Him," I point at Paul. "That's you as a guy." She giggle. "This may sound strange but I find the opposite gender of myself quite, attractive." Me and Pauline stare at each other for about 3 seconds before bursting out in laugher. John takes a look at the photo. "I don't look very different! Except for the fact that I'm not wearing glasses."

We continue our walk and we finally make it to the school. Before we could enter, there's a guard that's not allowing us to enter. "Who are you, and what is your business here?" He asks sternly. "I-I'm Richard Starkey, and-d-" He sighs. "Just tell me why you're here." Noticing I was stuttering and nervous, Rose steps in, with an equal amount of sternness in her voice. "We're here to see George Harrison. We have some very important business with him. He phones someone up, probably the principal. 10 minutes later, a little boy, about 11 or 12, walks towards us. "Hello! I'm George!" He puts his hand out and we one-by-one shake it. "I'm Richard, call me Ringo. This is Rose, this is John, and this wonderful lass is Pauline." I introduce us all. "Nice to meet you, Ringo, Rose, John, and Pauline!" "He's so cute!" Pauline whispers in my ear. I smile at her and look back at George. "Um, can we talk to you privately?" He nods his little head and we walk farther away from the security guard.

We explain to him everything and in the end he is in awe. "So you mean I'm a really famous guitar player in another world?! Wicked cool! I can also play guitar like him. Probably not as good though." Yes! He can play the guitar. "So, George, at you willing to help us?" I ask. "Hmm, I have to ask my mummy and daddy first." I nod. "Okay, but just tell them we found your guitar skill impressive and want you in the band, okay?" He nods excitedly and runs back to the guard. He says that he needs to go home right now, and the principal comes out with George's stuff. As he hands it over, the principal looks familiar. Wait...Brian! Our manager is a bloody principal! Never thought I'd see him look more posh than he already is. George runs back to us after getting his stuff. "Follow me. You guys can meet my parents."

As we're walking to George's house, he decides to strike up conversation. "So, where are your parents?" I immediately look at John and Pauline, who look like they've witnessed a murder. "Well, my dad left when I was 5, my mum sent me to live with my aunt and she died from getting hit by a car when I was 17." John said. "Well, my dad is fine. But my mum died from breast cancer when I was only 14." John and Pauline seem to look at each other in a "you know how I feel" look. "Well, I have a step dad." I say normally. George looks at Rose. "What about your parents?" She shrugs uncomfortably. "Dunno. Never met em'." George then says "WHAT?! YOU NEVER MET YOUR PARENTS?! I'm sorry that you never got to meet them. Want me to try and look for them?" She shakes her head. "They're probably long gone of this world, and your world too, Ringo." Wow, I feel bad for Rose. Not sure wether or not she actually wants to meet her parents, but it's still pretty sad. But Rose seems confident and strong enough to live on her own.

Author's Note:

Hey guys! I hope you're enjoying this story so far. Sorry if this is more of a filler chapter. I just needed a way to introduce George. Also, I would like to add that I feel really bad for Paul, because both Linda and his mom died because of breast cancer ;-;. Anyways, I hope you continue enjoying the book!

P.S. I apologize if I got any spelling and grammar wrong.
