My legs couldn't move fast enough as I eagerly ran up to meet Danny. Was he waiting for me? Or did he just happen to be leaning right against my locker? My mind was in a blur.
As I reached the statuesque boy, I couldn't help but grin widely.
"Someone's a little happy today." He observed. I quickly wiped the giant smile off my face. I must have looked ridiculous.
"Ha-ha yeah, I didn't expect to see you here I guess." I tried acting as if I wasn't at all excited about seeing him. That failed almost instantly. He could tell when I was lying. But all he could do was laugh.
"Hey! Don't laugh at me! I'm already self-conscious about everything else. You don't have to make it worse." I babbled.
"Why should you be so self-conscious? You're pretty, smart, and funny. How can anyone hate you?" He questioned.
"I can give you a few reasons." I mumbled under my breath, but luckily he didn't seem to hear me.
"Can I walk you to your next class?" Danny interrupted my thoughts.
"Oh, yeah that would be cool." I answered in the most awkward voice ever. Why did I have to be so tongue-tied around him? I couldn't just be normal and calm. As we started up the stairs that's when I realized how shaky and nervous I was getting. Calm down! He likes you. There is no need to be nervous around him. Just act comfortable. My mind was screaming advice at me from every direction. I wasn't concentrating on where I was going. The next thing I knew, I was thrown across the floor along with all my books. I froze on the ground; completely mortified by what had just happened. Danny chuckled behind me. His laughter was that of an angel's. By the time I had picked myself up off the ground. Danny had neatly stacked my books and handed them to me carefully.
"Thank you." I whispered, still immensely baffled of how I had just managed to trip over absolutely nothing.
I looked around to see everyone staring and giggling at the incident.
"I thought it was kind of cute." Danny whispered in my ear.
"Really? Me tripping over a flat surface was cute?" I questioned.
"Yeah. You blush when you get embarrassed. It just makes me like you even more." He chuckled.
"Oh. You have a very interesting taste in women don't you."
"I'm a sucker for the clumsy ones I guess." He stated.
"Well thanks." I answered a little offended.
"No, no I didn't mean it like that. I meant…uh…I…I like you okay. Whenever I see you, you always make me smile. I can't help it. I'm drawn to your clumsiness." He spit out; Not making complete sense.
"I like you too." I said sheepishly.
The bell rang and I noticed I was at my biology class already. I wondered how long we had been standing there for.
"I'll catch up with you after class. Does that sound good?" He glanced back.
"Yes, definitely." I ran to my seat shell shocked.
I was really getting attached to Danny and I hadn't even known him for even two days. Miss. Coulter walked in with a giant cart of microscopes.
Great; another mitosis lab. When is this ever going to end? I thought to myself. Miranda pulled a seat up next to me. We were always lab partners.
"So? How's Danny-boy doing?" She asked in a teasing tone.
"Great." I mumbled. I really didn't want her to get into this. It was none of her business and plus we just met. I was still trying to figure out if I really liked him that much.
"Okay then. I guess you're a little grumpy today huh?" She shot back. Ice filling her voice.
We finished the lab pretty quickly without any problems. I kept glancing at the clock waiting for the lunch bell to ring. Only five minutes remained until I would see Danny again.
I raced out of the class room the second the bell wailed and shot down the stairs to my locker where Danny was already waiting.
"How'd you get here so quickly" I asked bewildered. I was almost certain I would beat him at the pace I had just gone.
"My class was just down the hall" He smiled. "Ready for lunch?"
The cafeteria was mostly full when we entered. The only empty table left was in the back corner of the room where Danny had been sitting the other day. I through my lunch bag down on the table. As I was about to pull out my chair I noticed Danny had already done so and was waiting for me to take a seat so he could also sit down.
"Oh. Thank you." I whispered.
"Of course. It's my pleasure." Danny grinned.
"Let me ask you something." He stared straight into my eyes.
"S-sure. Anything." I stammered.
"How come I haven't seen you around before? I only moved here three months ago."
"I'm not the type of girl that sticks out I guess. You're probably the only guy that has ever seemed even remotely interested in me. And I'm not joking so don't laugh!" My voice trembled as I realized how sad my life was. No one ever paid any attention to me. And the thought of Danny talking to me was just bizarre. This gorgeous muscular guy was actually listening and engaging in a conversation with a boring average looking girl like myself. It felt so weird but good too. I had never felt this way about someone in my entire life. When I talked he would pay attention to what I was saying and even talk back to me. He always stared at me and not behind me or at me chest. I didn't have huge boobs but they weren't tiny either. I just felt as though we connected. But I couldn't tell if that was just me or if he had a similar sensation running through his veins.
"Why do you pay attention to me?" I blurted out without even thinking.
I waited desperate for his answer. It seemed like years when he finally answered…
