Chasing Blue

-THREE-

-JJ P.O.V-

JJ dreaded coming to his form. Twenty minuets of pure agony. He couldn't think of anything worse than being trapped in a small classroom with a bunch of younger, more annoying kids. Not to mention bloody Claire who spoke none stop in his ear about shallow things like her eyeshadow pallet and her new handbag or whatnot. "JJ are you listening?" Her sharp, intimidatingly shrilling voice knocked him out of his thoughts.

"uh yeah," He lied. Claire cocked her head to the side and furrowed her perfectly plucked and over drawn in eyebrows. She didn't believe him. Why would she? The two of them had been friends for almost an eternity. She knew him far too well.

Claire shook his shoulder slightly before putting her arm around him. "Look," She began. "You've been somewhere far away this morning, either something is wrong or you have a crush," She spoke as of she was giving some heart felt advice.

JJ pulled a face. She came to that conclusion quickly he thought. "If you have a crush, then you better damn tell me who she is," Claire persisted to interrogate him but JJ didn't say anything.

"Everyone, shut up while I take the register!" The form tutor shouted out over her noisy pupils. The chattering and shouting slowly died down as Mrs. Hedge called out the names of every student. She was that annoying teacher who never waited for you to finish saying 'yes Mrs", she just yells someone else's name over you.

Once she was done calling names she sat back down in the spiny chair and took a sip from her flask. She thinks shes fooling everyone by pretending that she's drinking a warm coffee beverage but really we all know that theres probably a Jin and Tonic in there.

Claire turned her full attention back to me and smiled. "You know, you might not have a crush so whatever it is that's bugging you, you better tell me. You know I care and just want you to be happy," She ended her speech by pulling JJ into a hug. He smiled into the hug, It wasn't often that Claire cared about someone other than herself, it was nice.

"Im pretty sure it's a crush though," She added before releasing him from her surprisingly strong grasp. She looked expectedly at JJ as if she actually thought he was going to tell her anything. The bell for first lesson rang, saving him from being forced to talk about the blue haired boy that had been distracting his thoughts all morning. They both got out of their seats and followed everyone out of the classroom.

Claire put her hand on JJ shoulder. "This is not over, bub," She warned him before prancing off in the opposite direction. JJ sighed and shook his head at his friends persistence.

Once the school day was over JJ began heading out of school with his group of friends. Claire linked arms with him as she spoke to one of her girl friends. "I fucking told you! Green is not your colour. You didn't look fat but it washes you out," Claire was feeding her friend advice about one thing or the other and it was giving JJ a headache.

Him and his mates usually hang out around the front of school for a while. JJ held a cigarette to his lips and took a long drag. "JJ, dude, pass it, forgot my pack at home" One of the more rowdy boys asked. JJ didn't really mind as he handed Derek his fag. "thanks man" Derek said before sticking it in his mouth.

JJ wasn't paying much attention to his mates. He was watching all the students leave the building, it wasn't very interesting but people watching was never anything he did often anyway. As he watching the door he saw that wonderful mop of curly blue hair. JJ's eyes lit up.

"I'll be right back" He informed Brian before walking up to blue hair. He neared the boy and was soon walking next to him as they were being rushed out of the school gates by the stamped of people behind them.

At first they were silent. JJ didn't know if the boy noticed him or if he was just being a cunt. "So, ...hi?" JJ's statement came out more as a question. The boy looked up at him. JJ's stomach flipped upside down. His eyes were so blue and big as they looked at JJ and it made his heart swell. "Hello again," the boy said, putting an enthuses on the word 'again'.

"I uh, you forgot your headphones last night," JJ began gaining some confidence. He dug through all the sweet rappers and 5p coins in his pocket. "uh, one sec," his new found confidence left as quick as it came. The dude waited impatiently for JJ.
"uh, got em," He laughed off his nervousness and handed the boy back his knotted and tangled earphones.

The boy took them from JJ and smiled, for the first time since they met. "Thank you, I was looking for them once I got home last night,"He told JJ as he attempted to untangle his earphones. JJ hadn't realised that the two of them were walking further and further away from the school. "so, what's your name?" JJ asked, trying making casual conversation.

The boy blushed at his question, for some reason. "I'm Blue" he answered after a short moment of silence. JJ giggled, not because it was embarrassing that his hair matched his name but because he thought it was adorable. "yeah, laugh away, I think i'm ironic okay?" Blue asked with a small smile on his face.

"I like it," JJ said making Blue beam with happiness. They continued to walk in silence. JJ didn't know where he was going or why he kept walking all he knew was that he wanted to stay with Blue.

As they walked past the post office JJ realised that his house was near here. "I live down here," He told Blue as they turned down Brownhouse Avenue, his road.

Blue threw his head back and sighed. "Ugh, so you live near me too? Gods sake!" He said. JJ wasn't sure if Blue was messing with him or not, He wouldn't be half offended if he meant that. "Anyway, this is me, thanks for the earphones," He said as he opened the dirty green gate to his house. "See you around," Was the last thing Blue said before turning away and heading to his front door. JJ could tell that Blue didn't particularly enjoy his company but he didn't care, he is determined to make Blue hid friend or at least tolerate him.
