it's the 60s in Liverpool, you and John had been best friends since birth. you knew about him living with his stern aunt Mimi, and you were by his side for the whole of his uncle's passing. now, John was getting in trouble a lot. he was hot headed, smug and careless, everything Mimi hated.

he was sitting outside the principals office, about to be leathered for something stupid he did or said, as usual. you were walking around the massive school, smirking as you saw him, your best friend.
