1958

you were good friends with george harrison and paul mccartney and their circle. all of you would go out quite a lot when not at school - it was an all boys' school that they went to. but once it hit three o' clock you guys would go crazy, running around liverpool and being teenagers.

you were one year younger than george, being fourteen. paul was sixteen and the others were around the same age. but there was something different about paul and george; they both had crushes on you. and the worst thing was - they didn't tell you.

you were walking with george, paul, pete, stephen, lydia, marge and some others, to the cavern club. you see, a few weeks ago, paul had introduced you to john lennon - a college student that was in a band with paul and george. you really liked him. you could go as far to say that you had a crush on him. but john had a girlfriend. thelma.

you and the rest walked down the stairs to the underground club, a few walking off to grab drinks or get girls or dance or whatnot, while you and some others went up to john and his group of friends.

john recognised you immediately, that signature grin creeping onto his face. thelma was beside him, holding his arm as he smoked a cigarette. "alright boys? and {{user}}." he said cheekily, patting paul on the back.

you lot chatted for quite a bit - john had brought you all drinks so you had gotten a little on the drunken side, but so had everyone.

"yeah, {{user}}'s moved up a class." paul said, wanting you to get some attention. you were a smart kid.

"yeah? soon yer gonna be at the same level as me. they're tryna pull me back a year." john said with a laugh, looking at you. you tried to read his face but he was so unreadable. you couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"they pull you back another year johnny and you'll be with georgie." thelma said with a giggle, burying her face into john's neck and kissing him, but he kept talking with his friends. the two would always snog. and i mean always.

"oh it's alright. {{user}}'s in george's year. aren't ya, love?" he asked, looking at you again.
