Hey guyssss! I'm here with a new story! I've been meaning to do a Danisnotonfire fanfiction for a while, but never really got around to it. Now, while I do occasionally use mild swear words in my stories, I don't like to use words like 'f*ck' or 'sh*t' or anything, but since it's Dan I guess I'll kind of have to. But, I'll probably use the stars *** so, yeah. Anyways, I'll shut up now and you can read the story. Hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN DANISNOTONFIRE, OR THE CHILDREN'S BOOK 'THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR', I ONLY OWN MIA, HER MOTHER AND THE PLOT AND ANY FUTURE OCs I MIGHT ADD
"But Mummy, I don't wanna go." Mia Adamson pouted, as her mother brushed her hair.
"I know you're scared, Mia, but it'll be okay, I promise. You'll make lots of friends." Hannah Adamson told her daughter, twisting Mia's ginger ringlets into two plaits.
"No I won't." Mia sulked. She'd never been a social child. She was quite shy and awkward, and was not looking forward to starting primary school. And to make things worse, she was going to be a year younger than everyone else. She was apparently an 'incredibly smart child', so she would be in a class of 4-5 year olds, while she was only three and wouldn't be turning four until the middle of July. To say she was nervous was an extreme understatement.
A few minutes later, Ms. Adamson had finished on Mia's hair and she was ready to go, much to Mia's dismay.
"Come on, Mia." Hannah said, holding out Mia's ladybird backpack for her. Mia just shook her head and crossed her chubby arms over her chest.
"Mia," She said warning tone.
"I don't wanna." Mia said.
"Mia Annabelle, don't make me cross." Hannah warned, using Mia's middle name. Mia sighed, not wanting to get into trouble, and took her backpack from her mother.
"Good girl," Hannah smiled, before they left the house.
By the time the car pulled up outside the school, Mia's little palms were sweating from the nerves. Hannah parked the car and unbuckled Mia, lifting her out of the car seat.
"Mummy, will you come in with me?" Mia asked hopefully, her big green eyes looking up at her mother.
"I wish I could, sweetheart, but I can't." Hannah said, crouching down to her daughter's height, "Tell you what, if you're a big brave girl and go on in for me, I'll buy you some ice cream when I pick you up later, yeah?"
"Okay." Mia sighed. She still didn't want to go in, but she'd do anything for ice cream.
"That's my girl." Hannah smiled, kissing Mia's forehead, "I'll come and get you at 3. Love you."
"Love you too." Mia said, giving her Mum a hug before dragging her feet into school. She found her classroom and saw that the kids were all either coloring or playing with the giant lego blocks, laughing and making friends with each other.
Mia sighed and went over to the bookshelf at the back of the classroom. She picked out a book called, 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' and sat down on the floor, with her back leaning against the bookshelf, and opened the book.
"Awh, look at the little girl all by herself." Someone said. Mia looked up from her book, to see three or four boys.
"I bet she doesn't have any friends because she's so stupid!" One of them laughed. Mia looked down, trying to hold back tears.
"Awh, are you going to cry?" One of the boys teased.
"You're such a baby." Another one said, kicking her.
"Hey!" A voice called from a different direction, Mia and the boys looked in that direction to see a boy with brown hair, "Leave her alone!" He yelled at the boys.
"What will you do if we don't?" One the the boys challenged.
"Then I'll tell on you!" The brown haired boy threatened. Not wanting to get into trouble, the group of bullies scampered.
"Are you okay?" The boy asked, sitting down next to Mia. Mia simply nodded. "I'm Dan," He said.
"Mia." Mia replied, not looking up.
"Don't worry, those boys are meanies. They won't hurt you anymore." Dan told her. Mia dared to look at him.
"How do you know that?"
"Because I'll protect you, of course!" He said in a 'duh' tone. Mia giggled.
"Thanks," She said, "But you'll probably just think I'm a baby."
"Why would I think that?" Dan frowned.
"Because I'm only this many," She held up three fingers.
"So? I'm only one more many," He said, holding up four fingers.
"So, you really want to be my friend?" Mia asked, as if expecting this to be some prank.
"No," Dan said. Mia's face fell. "I want to be your best friend!"
Mia giggled as Dan wrapped his small arms around her.
It was the start of a beautiful friendship.
