LACEY
I do not understand myself at times. Sometimes, I really do wish Danny didn't come back. My life wouldn't be so confusing and I would still know what I want. Now, I don't know what to want anymore. One minute, I tell myself this Danny phase is over and it's time to move on. In that same minute, my thoughts turn to thinking about how Danny looks at me. How my body responded to his gaze and how alive I felt when he touched me, kissed me. What is wrong me? Why do I miss him so much?
"Lacey, did you hear anything I said to you"
"Huh", Lacey snaps out of her deep thoughts to find Sarita with her normal annoyed expression staring at her.
"I said Archie and Scott are back from their suspension for poisoning Cole".
"Nobody cares about Archie, he talked all that stuff about Danny being a psycho when he is one". Lacey catches Archie glance her way. She rolls her eyes and turns her attention back to Sarita, who is smiling at them
"Sarita, really".
"What"? They are still hot. I told you that ass never quit"
Lacey ponders why she is still talking to Sarita. Why did she even agree to go back to the diner to regain her friendship with these crazy people? If she didn't go then Danny wouldn't be able to come back to school. She felt good knowing in some kind of way, even though odd, she helped Danny by telling Principal Tang what Archie confessed. Deep down inside, she really did miss him. He will always be her Danny.
Lacey notices Danny enter the school looking confident and unfazed by the many stares from students in the hallway. For him, it was just like his first day back from getting out of juvie, she suppose. It is amazing how well he handles being an outcast.
"Great, the socio is back and as always looking like he just strangled someone before he came", Sarita joked.
Lacey ignored her joke staring at Danny, hoping he would notice her or say something to her like last time. Instead, he pretended not to see her and just walked by her.
What the hell?
