013. CPR


Lester stepped back from the school noticeboard and surveyed his work.

"Yep, everyone's gonna see," he muttered to himself, "everyone."

He had arrived at school extra early to put the notice up, but now it was ten minutes until the bell and students were pouring in.

Out the corner of his eye he saw something that made him jump.

Biff Tannen, his right eye surrounded by one hell of a shiner was slunking down the hallway, shoulders hunched as if he was trying to make himself as small as possible.

Lester shook his head, he never thought he'd see the day...

Turning away from Biff he looked over his notice again:

Discover CPR
A mysterious group dressed in leather jackets and black hats
What secrets do they hide?
And why are they trying to steal our identities.
Special Meeting at 12 noon in C27.

It was definitely eye catching and Lester took a few steps away so that anyone who wanted to get near the board wouldn't have any trouble.

It didn't take him long to realise that nobody seemed to be very interested... Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors passed without so much as a glance.

Lester's shoulders slumped...this wasn't going well at all.

Maybe they've all ready got to 'em... he wondered... after all Calvin Klein had seemed pretty damn jumpy when he mentioned CPR...then he'd played that bizarre music...

You'd think more people would wanna know what that's all about... Lester thought. Perhaps the music had had some weird effect on people...and he was the only one not impacted because he'd been standing outside the auditorium at the time.

The halls were swiftly emptying and not one person had looked at his notice.

"You don't need to be so shy," a voice suddenly said, Lester recognised it as Lorraine Baines. "Of course you're a big hero!"

"I don't really want to be a hero though...or class president."

"Oh, but you'll be a fabulous class president, George."

Lester's eyes brightened. George McFly and Lorraine Baines! Who better to come to the meeting...Calvin Klein had hung out with them most of all.

"Hey guys!" Surprising himself with his boldness he intercepted the couple.

Lorraine stared at him in surprise, she probably didn't know him from Adam after all.

George did know him though. "Oh, hey, Lester."

"I'm glad I ran into you two, you gotta come, yep you gotta come."

Lorraine furrowed her brows and stepped a little closer to George.

"Come where?" George asked.

"To the meeting," Lester tapped the notice, and happily the two read it.

"CPR?" George repeated. "What's that?"

"Exactly!" Lester cried excitedly. "No-one knows, but I'm gonna find out! Yep, I'm gonna find out! You two in?"

Lorraine giggled and George scratched the back of his head.

"Umm..."

Lorraine spoke up. "It's a nice offer...uh...Lester, but we'll be busy at noon." She threw George what Lester thought was a rather desperate look, but he couldn't really be sure...

"Yeah..." George finally nodded. "Sorry."

Lester's shoulders slumped. "Oh, OK...OK then."

The two farewelled him and hurried on their way as the homeroom bell rang.

Lester looked at his notice for a few seconds before hurrying off for his own homeroom.

I'll figure out what CPR is, he vowed. I sure will and they're not gonna steal my wallet!
