JoHoe (y/n + JoJo McDodd from Horton Hears a Who)

Chapter 1

We all watch anxiously, banging our pots and pans, screaming at the top of our lungs.

The sound travels up, pushing against the atmosphere.

"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!"

And with that final YOP, we've done it. We're saved. Whoever that boy is standing at the highest point of Whoville, he's saved us.

We all start cheering like crazy. I watch as the mayor, Ned McDodd, wraps his arms around the young boy dressed head to toe in black. Wow, he's even caught the attention of the mayor.

I've never seen him before, yet I feel as though I've known him my whole life.

There's a huge party in the middle of town. I guess you could say that preventing our mass extinction has gotten everyone in pretty high spirits. Everyone is singing "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon along with Horton. And there's the mayor, with that boy again.

As I'm dancing with all of my friends, I hear the most beautiful singer belt, "I can't fight this feeling anymoooore." I look and see that the most beautiful boy was the one who had sang that. And I know it's a sign. I can't fight this feeling anymore. I think I like him.

The mayor comes down from the balcony of town hall, where he was before. Mayor McDodd thanks us all for our help and tells us he'll be hosting a feast at his house later in the day in celebration. As people mill about outside town hall, I make my way towards the boy making sure he doesn't notice me. I'm about five meters away when I hear the mayor say to the boy, "Go socialize JoJo, I have people to talk to." So that's his name, JoJo. This is my chance.

JoJo looks pretty nervous when the mayor says this to him. How could a boy with such a powerful voice and so much courage be so scared? Maybe if I go up to him and start talking, it will be easier for him. It will be a win win, he doesn't have to approach someone, and I get to talk to JoJo. I muster up the bravery and start walking towards him, trying to look confident. Just as I get there, another girl walks up to him and hugs him. She clearly knows him. I feel my heart sink.

Geez, I'm so stupid. Of course he already has a girlfriend. How couldn't he when he looks like that? Anyway, even if he didn't, he's way out of my league. I rush away, dejected, hoping no one saw me.

I return to my friends, who didn't even notice I was gone. I'm just as invisible to them as I am to JoJo. I try to have a good time and no matter how hard I try, I just can't stop thinking about him.
