Chapter 1

The weekend has finally arrived for the teens at Bakutan Jr. High School. But the time seemed to have come and went. The young teens enjoyed their last few hours of freedom before heading back to the classroom the next day. A particular teen was enjoying his time in the local park.

Danny McGregor was in the park skating on his new skateboard that was given by his father for his birthday this past summer. He was thinking about how his mother would yet again be leaving to America to pursue her career. He was also thinking about whether he should do the math homework that was assigned before the weekend began. Another option was to put the lab mice in her desk that morning. Having his mind deep in thought, Danny did not pay attention to the approaching teen coming towards him.

"Look out!" Both teens crashed into each other.

"Owww…..hey man! Watch where you…." Danny stopped to see a girl about his age with brown hair and light blue tips slowly getting up from the fall. He looked as he saw a pair of brown eyes staring down at him.

"Oh! Umm…hey Erin. I didn't see you there. Sorry about…you know," Danny laughed nervously.

Erin just smiled and replied, "It's okay, Danny. It happens a lot." She brushed herself and offered a hand to him. Danny smiled and took her hand to help him stand straight. He grabbed his fallen skateboard and turned to Erin.

"So, what brings you to the park?" Danny asked.

"Oh, just skating around and skipping homework," Erin smiled playfully. She then glanced down at her watch. "Oh snap! I have to go. Dad is going to kill me. I'll see you at school Danny!" She popped her rollerblades and skated away. Danny waved as she skated into the distance.

Danny slaps his forehead and mumbles, "Why is it that I can't tell her how I feel?" With that being said, he skates back home.

Danny has had the biggest crush on Erin since they became friends. His older sister, Lexi, had been best friends with Erin since his family had moved to Japan from Scotland. Erin was Lexi's first and only friend. So Erin would be at the McGregor mansion frequently. Danny and Erin soon shared a close bind and became best friends. However, for Danny this feeling grew. After years of knowing Erin Granger, he began to like her as more than a friend. Yes, he had finally believed that he was in love with his best friend. Danny has never confronted her about this fearing that she wouldn't feel the same way after being friends for so long. Plus, he was also afraid that it would hurt the friendship that they already shared. Now, Danny waits. He waits for a certain sign that would show some hope. That maybe Erin will feel the same way about him.

But unknown to him, new situations occur right this very moment. As a certain blonde haired girl is watching over Danny and that a new student has just arrived at his school.
