"-And don't forget to respect your teachers! Have a great day, Danny!" Danny's dad called from the doorway, a frying-pan full of undercooked pancakes in his hand.
"Ya, ya I know dad," Danny replied, as she swung her navy blue backpack over her shoulders and hopped onto her skateboard. She kicked her 'board and rolled away from her house.
"See you!" she called, getting farther and farther away from her dad every second. Danny had just moved to Jasper, Nevada from her home in Canada, thanks to her dad who got a job there. She was extremely unhappy having to move away from her friends, but life's tough. Deal with it.
Dad's such a nag! And plus he expected me to eat his crappy pancakes! Danny thought as she skated away to her new school. In a couple of minutes, she'd already arrived at the building. However, in front of her, wasn't just one school. It was three in total; one for the elementary school students, one for the middle school kids, and one for the high schoolers. Danny stepped off of her skateboard, tucked it under one arm, and headed in the middle school's direction.
Man, looking at the size of this place, they better have a damn good gymnasium or I'm gonna be pissed! thought Danny in awe as she stared at the tall walls and such. And about the gymnasium, Danny has a thing for sports. She is a tomboy in EVERY way! Danny is AMAZING at track, hockey, swimming, football, lacrosse, karate, rugby, volleyball, basketball, and many other sports!
Danny even acts like a boy; she swears, pulls pranks, cracks jokes and is reckless. (Even Danny's floofy blonde hair is cut short, like a guys!) The problem is that she absolutely SUCKS at math, cooking, sewing, language arts, music and art. The only subject she's good at that's useful is science. Science and gym. Which is pretty sad, no offence Danny. Oh, and Danny's real name isn't Danny. It's Danielle, but she thinks that Danielle is too girly.
Well, this must be my classroom, thought Danny as she stared at the name 1A on the door. But why the hell am I in class 1A, anyway? I don't really get good grades and 1A is for the gifted students...OH! I get it! The teachers must have heard of my awesome sport playing skills! Danny thought smugly.
She turned the knob and walked in, with a big grin on her face. About 10 students were waiting inside; sitting on neat-looking wooden chairs and desks. All eyes fixed their gaze onto Danny, their owners probably wondering who the newcomer was. A female teacher with a bright smile and glossy black hair rushed over towards Danny.
"Oh, hello there! I'm Ms. Kim! Welcome to our school! Come on up to the front of our classroom and introduce yourself, please," she beamed as she led Danny to the front. (Who still had her skateboard under her arm, mind you!)
"Okay! So...I am Danny Torino! Er, I moved from Niagara to the U. S. A and I love sports! I hope we can get along and ya!" Danny shouted out to the class. She glanced at the kids who were watching. Some students gave her small smiles, while others glared like hell. Unfriendly, much! Geez! thought Danny as she eyed the cold stares.
"Danny, can you sit next to Rafael? Thank you so much!" Ms. Kim said, gesturing to a boy in the front row with glasses. Danny plopped down in the empty seat next to the boy named Rafael. She threw her skateboard on the floor and wrapped her backpack onto the back of her chair.
"H-hi! I'm Rafael, but you c-can call me Raf. Nice to meet you," Raf smiled shyly, as he stuck out a hand to shake. Danny turned to him.
"Hey, I'm Danny! Nice to meet'cha too!" Danny grinned. She made a fist.
"Knuckle bonk?" Danny offered. Raf looked slightly surprised, but widened his smile and knuckled bonked Danny anyway. That was when hushed whispers invaded the used-to-be-silent room. Danny felt someone poke her, hard.
"Hey, new kid! Like, why are you talking to that nerd? He's totally pathetic! You must be too, since you actually acknowledge his wimpy existence!" a girl with dark green eyes sneered, who happened to be seated behind Raf. Two more girls got up from their desks and flanked her.
"Yeah, like, he's TOTALLY wimpy," they chorused. Raf sunk into his seat. His head flopped down, but Danny noticed that his eyes wandered away, probably hoping that someone would stop the girls from picking on him.
"Look at those clothes! Like, eew! A HOBO wears better clothes than you," spat the lead girl. Danny felt rage build up inside of her.
How could those snobby girls bully Raf?! In fact, why does Raf even LET them bully him?! she thought. Danny glared at the girls, but they went on.
"And remember this, you geeky scum! If you tell Ms. Kim about...our talks, I'll find you and make sure your life is MISERABLE! Not to mention I'll have Klaud come and find you after school. He's knows how to deal with tattletales," she continued.
"Klaud's gonna beat you up~! Klaud's gonna beat you up~!" sang the two girls, making punching motions. Danny couldn't hold her anger in anymore.
"SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP!" glowered Danny, as she stood up, and walked face to face in front of the bullies. The whole room became silent. Raf's ears twitched at the swear word.
"Excuse me?" green-eyes said, putting her hands on her hips.
"You heard me. Or are you so stupid that I need to repeat myself?" Danny snapped back. The girls beside green-eyes put on 'Oh-no-she-didn't' faces.
"Do you know who I am?" green-eyes said, trying to keep her cool.
"Yes. A snobby, green-eyed, mini-skirt wearing bitch," smirked Danny. Green-eyes opened her mouth in shock. Along with everyone else.
"Ya, that's right. Surprised? I'll let you know now that I don't like bullies. And if bullying happens in front of me, I sure as hell will stop it."
"Layla! Do something! You can't let this kid tell you that!" said the girls beside Layla.
Huh, so that's the snob's name... thought Danny. And I'm NOT a kid! I'll be 12 in December! Just 'cuz I'm shorter than them doesn't mean I'm a kid...!
"You'll regret this!" frowned Layla, as she and her group cowered away. Danny stuck out her tongue and did stinky eye.
"You will regret this!" mocked Danny in a high-pitched girly-girl voice.
"Oooooooh! I'm sooooo scared! What are you gonna do? Throw lipstick at me?" laughed Danny, as she sat down.
"D-Danny! Thank you for standing up to Layla and those girls...!" Raf exclaimed.
"Don't sweat it, bro. That's what friends are for!" Danny said.
"You want to be my friend...?" Raf said in disbelief.
"Of course, Raf! You're a great guy!" Suddenly, Raf lunged for Danny and wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug.
"R-Raf?" Danny sputtered.
"Y-you're the first person who's my age that's ever wanted to be my f-friend!" Raf whispered. (A/N Raf does have Jack and Miko as friends, but they're aren't the same age...) Danny returned the hug just as Ms. Kim interupted.
"Ahem, class? Let's start the lesson," Ms. Kim said, as she started to write complicated formulas on the whiteboard. Danny and Raf broke apart and focused their attention on Ms. Kim. Danny nearly fainted when she saw the long line of math problems.
"Oh yippee. Math...," groaned Danny.
REVEIW PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR AND BANANAS ON TOP! OMG, that was my first attempt at fluff...hope it didn't bore you too much.. :P Okay, I promise in the next chapter Danny will meet the Autobots! Or at most in the third chapter! And I also hope that Danny wasn't a mary sue...I TRIED MY BEST! *cries* So I hoped you liked this! :D
