2nd floor common room, Tuesday after classes

Johnny was bored. Johnny overturned two empty trash cans and laid a piece of board across the top. Then, because yes, he was bored, he made a bunch of paper people, lining them up across the wooden plank. For their sake, he didn't try to name them.

Sitting on the couch, one by one he sent a fireball towards them, torching them, watching them lift in the air and burn until there was nothing left. Yes, he was playing with fire but he was very safe, really. Nothing was catching on fire except for his mini-paper people. How cool was that?

"Yes! Take that you with the cur--" No, he wasn't going to say it cause he didn't mean it. Seriously. He did not name his paper dolls, come on!

Older him seems to have been an ass. "Tell me?"

"He just said we drifted apart," Isabel replied. "Which, yeah, I know it's a possibility, I mean, we're in high school and all but I don't like the idea of it. And I'd like to avoid it if I can."

"Aw, sweetie," he said and brought her hand to his mouth, kissing the back of it. "I won't let that happen. We've been friends since I came here, Isabel, and we'll stay friends long after I'm gone. I promise."

"I'm going to hold you to it," she smiled. "Even if it means I have to hunt you down and thwap you over the head."

"I'll give you my permission now to do it," he chuckled. "So... was I hot?"

"I don't know Johnny," Isabel said sadly. "You really let yourself go. But you did make being bald work for you."

"Don't make me get out the tickle fingers, Isabel. I know you don't want that to happen," Johnny teased. "And I know I was hot. I scored twice." Yes, he remembers both.

Isabel laughed. "I know. I heard radio. You were busy."

He grinned. "I guess people still loved me, even in my old age."

"I'll be sure to let you know when we're in our thirties," Isabel promised.

"You'll love me. I'm just a lovable sort of guy. You can't help it," he teased, giving her knee a little pat.
