Lindsay's house was only a 10 minute walk from school and she wanted the exercise, so she walked home. She was feeling a lot better after she went to the nurse's office. She lay down for a while, took an Advil, and now she was good to go, minus the fact that she had a huge head ache. She only had one thing for homework, so she was glad that she would be able to relax for a while. Both of her parents were out job hunting, so she would be alone in her new house. She went up to her front door and as she was about to unlock her front door, she saw Danny through the window of the house next door to hers. 'You're kidding me right?' She continued to look at him until he turned around and saw her. He smiled and looked like he was headed for his front door. She quickly went inside and locked the door. She barely had time to think until she heard a knock on her door. She wasn't in the mood to talk to him. But before she realized what she was doing, she opened her door and let him in.

"Hey. I guess we're neighbors too."

"I guess we are."

"How are ya feelin'? It looks like the ball bruised your forehead."

"I've been better."

"Listen. I realized that we didn't really have a first meeting, but I swear I'm nothing like you think I am. I will admit that I am captain of the team and girls are all over me, but I only told you that to impress you. I really like you and I'm hoping that you can see the real me."

"Well, I guess we could get along. But you'd have to tone down the big shot womanizer in front of me."

"This might sound crazy, but I think I only want to womanize you."

They both laughed and Lindsay blushed a little. They talked about school and Danny told her about the team and life at their High School. He was there for about an hour when he got a text from his mom saying that he needed to go home.

"Well, I guess I'll see you at school. Are you gonna walk?"

"Probably."

"Well, can I walk with you?"

"I think that can be arranged."

He left and Lindsay couldn't wipe her huge smile off her face. She finished her homework and just relaxed since her head was still in pain. Her parents got home around 6:00 and they had dinner and discussed her first day. Lindsay quickly fell asleep, eager to get to school and see Danny.

I realize that this is really short but it's a great chapter and I'm getting ready to work on the next one. Hopefully it will be a lot longer
