Beetlebabes

A day with BJ

BJ's POV

I walk into the school behind Lydia. This place is full of kids. God. Maybe. Just maybe I can get one to say my name.  Lydia turns around and whispers "Don't. Even. Think. About. It." I try to look innocent. "Think about what?" "Getting a kid to say your name."  

I smirk. "I won't. IF you say my name. Just three little words babe. Come on."

I could see her barrier coming down. She was a lonely 17-year-old girl. I had been watching her. Seeing her life. No friends. Horrible parents. No siblings. Lonely. Invisible...

Lydia's POV

I look behind me and see Beetlejuice looking at me with a devious grin. "What's making you so happy Beetlejuice?" His smile widens and he holds up one finger. I groan and roll my eyes.  "Beetlejuice..." I say again starting to smile, too. He holds up another finger. "Beeeeeeeeecause," I smirk. 

"Lyds... come on. I could be your friend. I can scare your family. I can be your boyfriend. I could kill someone!" I stare at him. "I don't need you to kill someone and I don't want OR need a boyfriend." "But you need a friend." 

 I look down as my eyes fill with tears. 

Beetlejuice smiles triumphantly.  I look up. "Beetlejuice. I promise I'll say your name when we leave school."
