"Socio". no matter how many times he heard that word already it still hurts Danny. You could say having a murdering reputation would get around. Danny knows he's not perfect. He's trying not to be, everybody makes mistakes. He made the biggest one of all when he left his two best friends. Accusing of murdering his Aunt was not on his agenda that day when his friends came over. Or shall he say were his friends. Jo and Lacey. He wished he could take that day back so much, but even he couldn't change the past. No matter how many times he tries to forget it. We see Danny upstairs in his room looking at his old photo album again at a picture of him, Jo and Lacey before that horrible day. Footsteps we heard from upstairs when Danny's mom knocked on the side giving him a scare
"Hey, kiddo. Time for school. You don't want to be late" Karen says before making her way downstairs. Sure she could have picked a new town to start over but so many memories were here that she couldn't leave even if she wanted to. Danny nods rolling his eyes
"Yay...school" he says in a not caring tone. Putting the album under his bed he grabs his bag before leaving the room. Making his way downstairs he spotted his mother looking at the news about Regina's death that shook everybody yesterday. Danny shakes his head before grabbing something to eat
"I know you had nothing to do with that girl's death hunny. Just..."Karen begins to say making Danny look at her
"Just what?Forget it ever happened? Ma, come on. Its not easy" Danny begins to say
"I know it isn't. That's why i wanted to come back here. We need to show everybody running away isn't the answer" she keeps telling herself that in her mind
"You don't know what it's like. You have no idea. People looking at me like im some sort of freak" he begins to explain
"Danny, everything will blow over in time. I promise you that. Look we'll talk about this more later. Do you need a ride?" she asked him not really wanting to do this now. Danny shook his head grabbing his bag
"No...i'll walk. Thanks for the talk ma. It's been a big help" Danny says sarcastically before heading out the kitchen and makes his way out of the house. Karen sighs shaking her head before getting ready for work. At the school we see Jo getting something out of her locker when Rico showed up
"Did you really show up at Regina's party?" he asked somewhat curious. Jo chuckles softly nodding her head before closing her locker and leans her back on it
"Sadly,i did. It was a complete waist of my time. Why?" she asked wondering why he would even care
"A little birdie told me was all. Did you go with Danny?" he asked. Jo sighs nodding her head
"I did, yes. As..." Jo begins to find the word that describes their relationship right now between each other
"Have you told anybody about what i said?" Lacey asked making her way over ignoring Rico. She grabbed Jo's arm, but Jo released the hold. Rico spits some of her hair out of his mouth
"Nice to see you too Lacey. Jo,i'll see you around, it seems your busy right now. Lacey a pleasure" He says before leaving them alone. Lacey rolls her eyes watching him leave
"Rude much?"
"Did you or did you not"
"No...alright. I haven't yet. What's it to you anyway?"
"Beacuse if anybody finds out...it could ruin me"
"Oh,so that's all you seem to care about is what's best for Lacey. What about Danny?"
"What about him?He's not the man i knew anymore...and if your smart cut him loose to" Lacey says looking up as she along with Jo spotted Danny making his way in the hallway. All eyes on him like always. Students mumbling amung themselves "Socio".
"Hey. socio..." says Archie. Danny who isn't backing away as Archie making his way up to him obviously not happy to see him. But then again he seems to be the only one who's standing up to him
"May wanna check your boyfriend over there" Jo says watching what's going on. Lacey turns around spotting a crowd beginning to form between the two of them
"Something i can help you with?" Danny asked already about to know what's going to happen
"Yeah, how about you do us all a favor and turn yourself in. We all know you did it. Just admit it" he says making a small chuckle form out of Danny
"Archie...come on. You don't have to do this. Let's go" Lacey says trying to convince him. Archie shakes his head
"No...Lacey. Everything's cool. Were just talking right?" Danny says convincing him
"Yeah, Lace...nothing to worry about. So, you wouldn't mind saying to everybody what you whispered to me yesterday then?" Archie says. Both men begin to circle around the hallway like there getting ready to fight. Jo tries to get a closer look listening to the conversation while most of the students mumble silently
"I had nothing to do with Regina's death. Alright..." Danny says beginning to try to clear his name. Jo stares at Lacey who lowers her head remaining silent
"That's bull crap. Everybody knows it was you. And your going to pay" Archie says before shoving Danny who catches himself just like last chuckles softly before walking back looking at him
"Its not going to work man." Danny says controlling his temper. Just then footsteps were heard as the principle made his way over
"Is there a problem here gentlemen?" he asked looking at both men. They both shook their head no
"No sir" Danny said first
"Then i sujest everybody gets to class,unless they would like a weeks worth of detention?" he says which everybody began to leave the hallway going to their next class. Lacey and Archie left together before Jo follows without saying a word. Danny sighs grabbing his bag before nodding his head. Archie stops midway through before punching a nearby locker scaring Lacey
"I can't stand that guy. Lacey i don't want you anywhere near him" he says making Lacey nod in agreement
"Archie, im trying alright. But its not that easy. We grew up with each other"she begins to explain to him. He nods sighing deeply
"Fine...just be carefull if you see him. And i know he's responsable for Regina's death. I don't know how but he is. He's not gonna get away with it" Archie says before walking away. Lacey watches him before spotting Danny who probably listened to the whole conversation. She shakes her head before walking to class.
"You alright?" asked Jo who saw Danny sitting by himself somewhere inside the school during lunch. Since she isn't apart of the social outcast.
She usually sits by herself or with Rico. Danny sighs shrugging his shoulders . Taking his ear piece out as he was blocking everything out with music
"Not really. I thought you weren't speaking to me again?" he asked. Jo smiles a bit before joining him by the window
"I didn't say that. It's just, you expect us just to pick up where we left off all those years ago Danny. How can we do that?" she asked as she's been trying to image that in her head since he returned but hasn't seen any hope
"I didn't say it was going to be a easy task Jo. But im here now. Can't we take small baby steps?" he asked. As he's really tired of being alone.
Lacey was spotted not to far from them looking at them talk but couldn't pick up the sound. Not even sure she wants to as she promised Archie and herself. Jo thinks about it
"Alright...baby steps. Im talking huge baby steps" she says still not sure if she could trust him. Danny smiles
"I'll take anything. Thanks Jo..." Danny says happily that hopefully he can restore at least one old friendship. Lacey continued on her way wondering if maybe she should give Danny a second chance. After school Danny and Jo agreed to study together at his house but as hours went by just like last time but instead of Lacey it was Jo who was sleeping by the foot of his bed. Danny smiling watching over her. Seconds later he heard his phone go off and read the text
"Socio...your gonna pay for what you did"
"Who are you?"
"Your worst nightmare. I know you killed Regina just like you killed your Aunt"
Danny shakes his head before grabbing his stuff and leaves the room. Early the next morning the sun beginning to rise up Karen like always was watching the news as she hears something. Jo was the first to groan obviously not a morning person as she blocks the sun with her pillow
"Jo...Danny!...Come down here guys!" Karen yells from downstairs. Danny groans opening his eyes looking at the clock which was early even for him.
He sits up yawning as he scratches his head. Jo did the same thing. They both looked at each other a little awkward
"Morning...you sleep okay?"
"I guess...what time is it?"
"You don't want to know"
"Did your mom call us?
She asked before he could say something Karen made her way upstairs opening the door
"Guys..." she says looking at them
"Really mom?"
"Come downstairs...now" she says before heading back down. Danny sighs standing up from the bed. Jo groans grabbing her jacket as she fix her hair.
Danny made his way downstairs first yawning again spotting his mother by the door like she was talking to somebody
"What is so important?"He asked
"Danny Desai?" Kyle asked looking at him
"Yeah?What is it this time?" he asked figuring its about Regina's case. Jo made her way downstairs or was about to when she heard her father's voice
"Your under arrest for the death of Archie" he says putting handcuffs behind his back
"You got to be kidding me" Danny mumbles under his breath
"You cant do this Kyle. You have no proof. He's been upstairs in his room all night." Karen says trying to defend her son the best way she knows how
"Im sorry Karen. Im doing my job. You know the drill. Come on Danny" Kyle says beginning to say when Jo makes her way down
"Dad...Karen's telling the truth. He wasn't the murder." she begins to say watching Danny get inside the backseat. Kyle walks back up to his daughter
"Hunny,im just doing my job. I gotta go..." he says before getting inside as he drives away
"This isn't happening again..."Karen says before going back into the house to call her lawyer before leaving Jo alone knowing he's innocent as it fades
