The next morning, Lindsay woke up feeling well rested. She got dressed and ate her breakfast. She looked at herself in her bathroom mirror one last time until she decided that she was ready to go. She opened the door and saw Danny, leaning against the door frame.

"Wow Montana, you really clean up good."

"Montana?"

"Yeah. You're from Montana, so I'll nickname you Montana."

"Great." Her tone was sarcastic but she secretly liked it.

They walked to school in a comfortable silence. When they got to the front entrance, Lindsay couldn't help but notice all the glares and stares she was getting from all the other girls, especially the cheer leaders. 'Was he seriously THAT popular?' 'Crap! Girls are givin' her glares. Well I won't let anything bad happen to her.' They parted when they needed to go to their lockers.

"I'll see ya in art class." He winked and walked away.

Lindsay was getting books out of her locker when a bunch of the cheerleaders who had been glaring at her walked up to her and rudely tapped her shoulder.

"Excuse me. But if I ever catch you walking with my Danny ever again, I'll make sure that you don't make it out of here alive."

"Um he's not yours to claim and we are next door neighbors. So we decided to walk together."

"I don't care about your silly excuse. But just so you know, Danny is only interested in pretty and popular girls like me."

Lindsay just ignored her and walked away. 'Bitch.' She was a bit pissed off, but she was hoping that Danny was telling the truth when he said 'I think I only want to womanize you.' She cleared her head and headed off to science class. She sat next to Stella who looked eager to talk to her.

"I heard that you walked to school with Danny Messer this morning."

"Yeah. But I only did because he's my new next door neighbor."

"You do know that he's the most popular guy in school, right?"

"Yeah. But he told me that he's not like that when he's at home. He also said he doesn't like all the attention."

"He wasn't lying. From what I know, he's only had 3 girlfriends in his entire life, and the girls were the ones who asked him out."

"Good to know. Oh yeah, a bunch of cheer leaders and I guess the head cheer leader told me to stay away from her Danny and he only dates pretty and popular girls like her and if she ever catches me with him ever again, she'll make sure that I don't make it outta here alive."

"Wow. Well that makes sense considering that she's been after him since he and his girl friend broke up 4 months ago. He's been single ever since, and he hasn't gone out with anyone. Not even on a date."

Lindsay was going to reply, but the teacher came in and immediately started their lesson. Class went by really slow. They basically spent the entire class reviewing fungus, which wasn't exactly her favorite subject to review.

Class ended and she headed to her next three classes: History, Foreign Languages, and Math. Then she would have lunch.

History and foreign languages were pretty interesting, but it was mainly just your basic stuff. Then she headed to math and grabbed the only seat available. She didn't know the guy she sat next to so she decided to introduce herself.

"Hey. I'm Lindsay."

"Don. And I know who you are."

"Really?"

"Yeah, my best friend is Danny. He won't stop talking about you."

Lindsay blushed. "Really?"

"Yeah. He texted me talking about you and he talked about you before school started."

She had a huge smile on her face. "I guess he really likes me."

"I've known him since we were in diapers and trust me, he has never felt the same way about anyone the way he feels about you."

"Wow."

"I know. That's exactly what I said. He told me he might ask you out. But he's a major chicken. He's never asked a girl out, so he's wondering how to exactly do it."

Class started and ended like a breeze and Lindsay was now on her way to lunch. Lindsay saw Danny and Don at their table eating lunch. Then she saw the cheer leaders sit down and were all over Danny. Lindsay would've been jealous, but Danny really looked uncomfortable and Don told her how much he likes her.

Nothing exciting happened the rest of the day except she and Danny kept smiling at each other. Lindsay was about half way home when she heard fast footsteps behind her.

"Yo! Montana! Wait up!"

"Hey."

"Hey. How was your day?"

"Pretty awesome. I met your best friend in my math class."

"Don? Haha what did he say to you?"

"That you can't stop talking about me and that you really like me."

She had no idea if his face could get any redder than it already was.

"Hello. Earth to Danny!"

"Uh um hi. He really said that?"

"Yeah."

"I'd say that he's a dead man but I'm actually kinda glad he told you."

"Really."

"Yeah. Well, um, I was, uh, wondering…"

He looked insanely nervous.

"Wondering what?"

"If you would like to go out on a date with me sometime?"

"I would love to."

He took her hand in his and it fit perfectly. They just smiled and walked until they were home. I don't think either of them stopped smiling the entire night.
