DENNY'S POV:
I made my way out of my Media Studies class to find Sasha, Matt and Casey waiting for me…
"Ready for lunch?" Sasha questioned
"Yeah" I replied "can I just drop these by my locker first?"
She nodded her head, signalling yes, linking her arm through mine…
CASEY'S POV:
"Welcome to the Pier Diner" I proclaimed as Denny, myself, Sasha and Matt walked in
"And my place of work" Sasha informed her "grab a table and I'll get us some drinks"
Denny and I made our way over to a vacant table whilst Sasha and Matt organised drinks, both of us sitting down…
"How's your first day going so far then?" I inquired
"Good thanks" she replied "the school's a bit of a maze but I'll get used to it"
"Yeah you will" I assured her
DENNY'S POV:
"Hi, I'm home" I called into the house as I arrived back from school later that afternoon
"Hi, darling" Mum greeted me as she made her way out of her bedroom "what do you say to dinner at Angelo's tonight?"
"The restaurant in the Bay?" I questioned
"Yeah, seeing as though we've got nothing in and to celebrate your first day of school" she replied
"Okay" I stated, smiling at her warmly
"So, tell me everything. How did your first day go?" she asked
"It was brilliant" I informed her "the teachers and my classes are great, and I've met some great people"
"See, I told you it'd be fine, didn't I?" she inquired
"Yes you did, Mum, and you were right" I sighed, chuckling at her as she smiled triumphantly "I'll go and get changed"
Nodding her head in agreement, she made her way into the kitchen…
CASEY'S POV:
I walked into Angelo's to grab my takeaway pizza when I saw Denny sat at a table with a woman I was guessing was her Mum…
"Casey" her voice called as I continued my walk to the bar
"Hi" I greeted her, turning and walking over to her table instead
"Mum, this is Casey, the guy I was telling you about, Casey, this is my Mum, Linda" Denny informed me
"Nice to meet you" I greeted her, shaking her outstretched hand
"Nice to meet you too, Casey" she mirrored "thanks for making my daughter's first day so easy"
"No problem" I replied "she's a great girl; you should be very proud"
"I am" she assured me, smiling at me warmly
"I better be off. Tell the barman you know the owner when you go to pay, it'll be on the house" I informed them
"What? We can't do that" Denny proclaimed
"You can" I assured her "my brother Brax owns this place. Any friend of mine is a friend of his. Enjoy your meals"
DENNY'S POV:
I watched as Casey made his way to the bar and waved goodbye at Mum and I before leaving… "I'll be back in a minute"
"Take your time" Mum replied, smiling at me warmly
Hurrying out after Casey, I reached him as he was leaving the surf club…
"Thank you for that" I admitted "but we're not charity cases, so we'll pay for our meal"
"I wasn't doing it because I think you don't have the money" he informed me "I was doing it as a welcome to the Bay"
"Really?" I questioned
"Really" he replied "seriously, Brax won't mind, and if he does, I'll pay him what your meal costs"
"Thank you" I stated, smiling at him warmly "see you at school tomorrow?"
"How about we walk in together?" he suggested, raising an eyebrow at me
"I get the bus. Mum and I are up at the farmhouse" I informed him
"I'll walk to you and then we'll walk together from there" he replied
"Are you sure? It's quite a way out…" I inquired
He nodded his head, signalling yes… "I better be getting this back to the mob at my place. See you tomorrow, 8:15am-ish, yeah?"
"Okay" I replied
What are you guys thinking so far?
