Danny was fuming. Not only was he just humiliated in front of the WHOLE SCHOOL thanks to Dash, someone had gotten it on video. How was he going to explain the brushes to his parents? Or the detention from Mr. Lancer for 'fighting' in the hallways. Now, walking home with the only two people that had not laughed at him, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley. They had not said a word to Danny, but thinking about the event all the same.
Danny, Sam, and Tucker were walking through the hallways of Casper High, going out the doors of the cafeteria talking to each other, until they got out of the lunch line, and Danny, who was having a convention with Tucker about the new DOOM update, ran into something. Or someone. Danny looked up, to see Dash Baxter, the Casper High star quarterback of the football team, and Number One A-lister.
"Watch where you're going Fentonail!" Dash sneered at Danny. "This jacket costs more than that freaky horror house you live in, and is more awesome that you three losers combined."
Danny picked up his fallen lunch, keeping his head low, protecting any and all soft features on his face. Unfortunately, while Danny was coming up from the ground, Danny's head banged against Dash's lunch tray, knocking his mud pie onto his chest. Also onto his letterman jacket.
If Danny had been on the track team, he would have made a record time.
Danny was able to evade Dash for the rest of the school day. That was, until the last bell of the school day sounded, signaling the end of the school day. Dash found Danny at his locker and, after throwing a few good blows to Danny's face and gut, stuffed him into the nearest dumpster.
"So, it's Friday night," said Same, breaking the silence that had been present since they left the school. "Want to do something?"
"Yeah, we could play games, or watch movies," Tucker added. After a few minutes, making sure Danny wasn't going to yell.
"We always do things at my house. How aaa about we go to Danny's. What do you say, Danny?" Danny shrugged, speeding up a little. A few minutes later, Danny walked up to the door and unlocked it. Walking inside, Danny told them they could do anything, he walked upstairs to change his clothes. Walking back downstairs with a new change of clothes on, grabbed the remote of the end table, and turned the TV on. A few seconds later there was an explosion from the basement. Danny got up from the couch and sprinted to the door under the stairs.
"Mom? Dad? Is everything OK?" Danny called.
"DanBoy! Come on down! We got something to show you! Is there anyone else up there with you?" Danny's dad boomed from the basement.
"Just Tucker and Sam. Can they come down too?"
"Sure honey!" His mom called. Danny and his friends trotted down the stairs, curious about what Danny's parents want them to see.
