Lunch ended and Lindsay looked at her schedule for the rest of her day. She had art, chemistry, and gym. So far, she had had no classes with Danny, and she was hoping that it would stay that way. She walked into the art room and she was unfortunately no one that she knew was in that class. After about a minute, she heard voices and students came flooding in. No one bothered to sit next to her at her table for two so, she felt a little unwanted. She heard the stool next to her and you'll never guess who she saw.
"Hey! It's nice to see you again. Oh and I didn't catch your name earlier", said Danny. It bothered her to hear his voice.
"Hi. It's Lindsay."
"Lindsay what?"
She sighs. "Monroe."
"So, uh, how do you like school so far?"
"It's fine, but there is this thing that's really annoying." She gestured towards him, which was a signal for him to shut the hell up or get an ear full.
"Ok class! Settle down. I hope you like who you're sitting next to because these will be your assigned seats for the next 9 months of school."
Lindsay could not be any more unhappy than she was at that moment. 'Great' she thought to herself. She hated this guy after talking to him for less than a minute, and she was pretty sure that she would hate him for the next 9 months of the school year.
'Great!' Danny thought to himself. He was determined to make her like him. There was something special about her worth going to the trouble. I could tell that she thought he was a player because he saw her looking at him in the cafeteria.
She went to chemistry and didn't really learn much but the class surprisingly went by pretty fast. Class ended and she was headed for gym. She looked behind her only to see Danny following her.
"Why are you following me?"
"I'm not following you. I'm headed to my gym class."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah. Why? Are you in that class too?"
"Unfortunately."
"Hey. Why do you hate me so much? "
"Why do you ask?"
"You just seem to hate me when I did nothing to you."
"You're just some jock who thinks the world revolves around him. I seriously don't care whether you're the most popular guy, or the best baseball player in the world. To me, a show off with, a big ego is such a turn off."
With that, she hurried past Danny, and went to the gym. He thought about what she said. It did make sense. He did come across as a show off, but he couldn't help it. For some reason he really wanted her to like him. Was he seriously falling for some girl that he barely knew? This was crazy, but he actually thought it could be love at first sight.
In gym, they were playing baseball. The girl's field had been ruined by a storm, so they had to combine classes and you the boy's field. Danny and Lindsay were on opposite teams. Danny hit a double, and he happily ran to the second base, and was more happy to be standing next to the second baseman. She wasn't happy though. Then, it happened. A guy on Danny's team smacked the ball. It came towards Lindsay and before she could get under the ball, it clocked her in the head and she passed out. Everyone was screaming her name and Danny, who was full of concern, was trying to shake her.
"Mr. Messer, carry Miss Monroe to the nurse's office. And hurry."
Danny quickly scooped her in his arms and carried her to the school. Unfortunately for him, the school was huge so it would take him at least 10 minutes to get there. As he was walking into the school, there was no one there. He saw her begin to stir and he quickly sat on a bench.
"Lindsay! Lindsay! Are you ok? Can you hear me?"
Lindsay began to open her eyes and she smiled at him. She thought he was an angel. But then the blurriness faded and her smile went away as she realized that it was just Danny.
"What happened?"
"You were knocked unconscious."
"Really? Well that should explain my head ache."
"Yeah. You should get to the nurse's office. Do you want me to carry you or help you walk."
"I can walk on my own thank you very much."
She tried to get up but her knees gave out and luckily, Danny was there to catch her. She looked up into his eyes and she felt something that she had never felt before. Could this be love? No! She hated this guy! But what if it was? She had only met this guy today so her feelings would probably just wear off. Or would they?
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNN
