A/N: This is my first fanfiction story, and hopefully more to come! Please review in order to tell me what you think. Thanks so much and enjoy!
Storyline: A adventurous story that will take you into Dan Humphreys' shoes for one moment. What were his thoughts going through his head when he met the girl of his dreams? Experience it first hand. First kiss included.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dan, you only started talking to Serena about a month ago and you're already going more nuts than you did before you met her." Jenny said, in an awkward slash annoying tone that I always hated. I always tell myself that she'll go crazy over that person someday.. Oh wait, no she won't. Cause I'll pound the boys' face in if he touches one finger on her.
"Well I'm not going to take a lame-ass opinion from a child." I said. The 'child' remark always pisses her off.
"Um, excuse me if you have looked on my birth certificate I am 14 years old. Now I am advising you to shut your mouth." she said in a cocky, but defensive tone.
"Um, excuse me but if you have looked on my birth certificate it says I am 17 years old. Meaning, I am older than you. Which also means you don't get to talk to me like that." I mocked her.
"Ugh! Just go away!" Jenny screeched as she was walking out of my room. She's telling me to go away when I'm in my room while she's walking away? I bursted out laughing at the thought of that. "IT'S NOT FUNNY DAN!" Oh my God.. I think that voice just earth shook the damn loft.
"Okay, okay! I'm sorry!" I shouted in between giggles. I felt immature after that point.
(Next day)
Who knew a 17 year old boy could feel such a stomach twist after going to the same school since grade 9. It was just one particular girl that made such feelings occur. The way her golden blonde hair glowed throughout the halls, her infectious smile that made every guy turn their heads, her swag that made her hips swirl. I could go on. She was perfect and if not, damnit she was almost perfect.
St. Jude's was filled with painted faces. Not literally, but everyone had two sides of each other. Here I am, an average Williamsburg boy, not Brooklyn, Williamsburg with all of these stuck-up Upper East Siders of New York City. Sounds so glamourous. Not really. I never really fit in with that crowd. Nor do I want to. I guess if Serena was apart of it I might as well fit in some respect for these people. Maybe they didn't work for their money, but at least their family did.
Lunchtime. Ooh my favorite time of the day. I guess I just found out later on in this high school life that I do kind of care what people think. No one really wants to sit alone at a stone table and eat a tuna sandwich plus an apple juice box. It's alright though. I've learned to just ignore Blair Waldorfs' arrogant occasional glares across the court yard.
Then a soft, but friendly voice lurked up from behind me.
"Hey Dan!" she said.
Holy mother of pearls, I think I just choked on my juice. What is she– why is she– she is she! Dan, calm down. It's just Serena Van Der Woodsen talking to you. Now why did that thought make me more nervous?
"H-hey Seren-a!" I said just a little too loud which left a surprising blush from Serena's face.
"So what are ya up to? What class do you have next?" she said in an uplifting but relieving tone.
"Oh, um, English. How about yourself?" I'm actually doing good so far. Someone get me a damn award for holding myself together for this long.
"French. Not my finest subject, but I get it done. Say, do you wanna go out to a movie sometime? It'll be just you and me this time. No fashion shoot, Blair, rooftop, or clothes. I promise." Her pearly white teeth glistened through her smile that would bring any man to his knees. A movie? A movie? That's it? No reservations at a 5 star restaurant with meals that are $40.00 and more? Dad was right, "both feet, Humphrey."
"Yeah, sure! I mean, I'll probably plan something after that to make it more interesting." Now why did that come out wrong? Dear God, not yet! I am referring to a Billiards club just two blocks from the loft.
"Ooh, so is a movie too boring for you, Lonely Boy?" Serena said in a giggly tone.
"Well, I mean all you do is sit in a uncomfortable chair for 2 hours and watch. I love movies and all, but I'd rather prefer to focus on my date." I said in my best flirty tone. You're an amateur, Humphrey.
"Well I am flattered, Humphrey. You got more class than I thought!" Serena laughed after finishing her sentence. "Pick me up at 7 tonight, okay?" she added.
"Hmmm.. It is a Friday. I guess I could make time for you." I replied in a slightly arrogant, but fun tone.
"Oh, okay Mr. Cocky! But you better or I'll come runnin' after you." She said with a wink.
"It's a date then. I'll meet you at the Palace lobby at around 6:45ish? Just so we'll have time to pick a movie before we go in. I think I have the perfect place to hang out at after the show. It involves a cab ride from Manhattan to Brooklyn. No more information after that." I ended with a smurk.
"Aye, aye, Mr. Humphrey." Serena squealed in a happy tone. She was actually excited for a date with me.
Just then I felt a warm embrace around me and then a soothing, soft small spot was pressed on my cheek. I quivered. That's the second time this week- a hug and a kiss.
"See you tonight, Dan." she said, excited and walked away in perfection.
Maybe my lunches wouldn't be so bad after all.
There's my first chapter, folks! Please read and review! I promise I will update soon!
