The boy next door

John

I got home frustrated with the idiot of a neighbor. I threw my bag to the floor and when to the kitchen for an apple.

"Bad mood??" mom asked while reading the newspaper.

"You tell me." I was walking up the stairs when mom decided to tell me the most horrific news.

"The neighbors invited us for dinner, and I accepted." I froze my actions.

"What!!??Why!!??"

"Because I want to meet the boy that's always coming when we're not home." My parents never met George.He would walk over when they weren't home. I never knew his neither. Now I'm wishing it would stay like that."Don't act like your mother doesn't know."

"I don't want to"

"Why??"

"Because I hate him."

"At least meet his parents."

"No. I don't want to meet the people that created that monster.Maybe they're like him!"

"Don't speak like that , you don't even know them!!!" I ran up the stairs to my room and slammed the door. Half of my book collection fell to the floor. I went to pick them up when a knock interrupted me.

"Who is it?"

"Nick"

"Come in"

He came in, but not alone.There was the idiot himself and another boy. He had brown chocolate eyes and brown hair in the same style as George. He must be a teddy boy.

"Why is he here?" I asked my brother.

"I told you George and John were coming over."

"Hi, I'm John"-The other boy introduced himself-"You must be the lovely Eleanor." He took my hand and kissed it.

"Your correct.I'm Eleanor Johnson, Nick's sister-"

"And worst person alive, blinded by her charming boyfriend." George interrupted.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"I was just leaving to Nick's room." He walked out with Nick and John behind.

"John"

"Yes madame?"

"Can you stay for a moment, I want to know you better." I said with a cheeky smile.

"OK" He smirked and sat on my bed.

"What's your full name?"

"John Winston Lennon"

"Where-"

"Ah-ah-ah"- He said while waving a finger at me-" It's not fair for you to ask all the questions."

"Ask away!!!"

"What's it like in America?"

"It's wonderful.Better than here." -He laughed.-"Where do you live?"

"Wolton, where did you live in America?"

"New York, who do you live with?"

"My aunt Mimi, are you the one that has George hypnotized?"

"Yes and no.We ended a few days ago.He cheated me with his old girlfriend-"

"Kathy"

"Right"

"I can't believe he did this to a lovely lady like you." He started leaning in,looking into my hazel eyes.He looked at my lips as if asking for permission.He was inches off my lips when he looked at the book on my nightstand and the books on the floor.
