The next two lessons didn't go smoothly either. I have only met Danny for a few hours and I think he was already sick of me.

We had Science and we were doing an experiment, I was partners with Danny and I wasn't listening much. Danny was telling me what I had to do and I was messing it up. We had 3 experiments to do in a hour and we only finished one because of me.

Then we had English and we had to pick out key quotes of the novel 'Of Mice and Men' I just sat there flicking through the book, and I had nothing written down, but Danny being Danny let me copy his.

It was lunch now and I was in the cafeteria poking my food and talking to Danny when 2 guys walked up to us.

"Hey, Dan" said a blonde haired guy that looked a few years older than me.

"Hi, Dan!" said a guy with spiked up brown hair, I've seen him around a few times, He's in year 10.

They looked at me.

"Who's this?" they asked together.

"Oh, yeah, this is Dougie-" he pointed at me, I smiled shyly. "-Dougie, this is Tom-" he pointed at the blonde one that came to sit next to me. "-and this is Harry." he pointed at the brown haired guy that sat next to Danny.

"Hi" I said shyly looking at my food.

"Tom's in year 11 and Harry is in year 10." Dan said.

"Um, Nice to meet you." I said Shyly.

"Same, so how you like the new school?" Tom asked while eating.

"Uh, it's alright, I guess"

Harry laughed.

"what?" I asked.

"nothing, it's exactly what Danny said when he started." Danny pushed him.

"You joined late then as well?" I looked at him.

"Yeah, I moved from Bolton, last year" He said shrugging.

"Bo-"

I was about to ask him something but Chris came up behind me and forced my head down and I whacked it off the table.

"Ouch! Shit!" I said clutching my head.

Chris walked off laughing. Danny stood up.

"What the fuck, Chris!"

"Dan, seriously, it's fine, leave him." I said holding my head. Danny sat down. Harry held out a tissue for me. I looked at him strangely.

"Your nose is bleeding" he said quietly. I took the tissue and held it to my nose, thanking him.

"Dougs, you cant let him get away with that!" Tom said to me.

"It's fine." I muttered.

Danny sat quietly looking really angry. Once we had finished eating we stood up.

"Dan? You coming History?" I ask him.

Danny nodded and stood up.

We stood in the corridor waiting to go in the classroom.

"be right back, need to pee" said Danny. I nodded and he walked off.

Just then Chris came down the corridor and he smiled when he saw me on my own.

He grabbed me and pushed me into the other side of the corridor, my head hit the wall and I screamed. I fell to the floor whimpering.

It's happening again! Just like last time!

"You're pathetic!" He shouted at me. "You're nothing!"

He started to kick me in the stomach. What is this guys problem? He doesn't even know me!

"Oi!" I heard someone running. "What the Fuck do you think you are doing?"

"Danny, listen, he's a dick!"

Chris kicked me again.

"You fucking touch him again and I swear-" Dan started to walk towards me.

"Or what?" Chris shouted. "What can you do? You're a nobody here, you couldn't threaten a 4 year old!"

Danny ran up to him and punched him in the face, just as Miss Morton walked out of her classroom.

"Mr Jones!"

Danny turned around. "Miss, D-"

"Detention, 1 hour, after school, in now!" Danny walked up to me and held out his hand to help me up. I took it and we walked into the classroom. He dragged me to the back of the room and we sat in the far left corner.

Miss Morton started talking about something but I wasn't listening, my head was pounding!

I was holding my head, when a note was passed to me, Danny looked at me and smiled.

I opened it:

Hey, mate, How's your head? :D

I looked across at him and he smiled, I giggled slightly.

Bloody Fantastic. What were you thinking back there?

That as you have a detention. I want one too!

Funny.

What friend would I be if I just stood there and watch you get attacked by a baboon.

One that wants to live?

Nah. Living doesn't really suit me.

I punched him lightly on the arm.

I can't believe that Miss Morton can't see us writing these.

Why do you think I forced you to sit here?

I dunno, admiring the scenery outside?

Yeah, cuz that's what I do now. Admire school scenery.

What will your parents say about getting detention?

Dunno. probably won't be happy about it.

Idiot.

The bell rang for the end of school, me and Dan made our way towards the Detention room. Once we got there we sat down next to each other and were bored for a whole hour.

1 hour! All because I missed first period, I mean I wasn't that late, I can understand why Dan got an hour, I mean, he punched Chris…that was so funny though, the look on his face was brilliant!

My head was still hurting so I sat with my head resting on the table, Danny was making paper airplanes, by the time we had finished the detention, Danny had made, what looked like, a whole airport.

"Dougs, it's over, you coming?" Dan said standing up.

"oh, yeah"

We stood up and walked out of the school together, we got across the road when a car pulled up next to us. Dad got out.

"You! Boy! In!"

Danny looked shocked. I literally ran towards the car.

"Dougs, wait" He said quietly.

"See you tomorrow, Dan!"

I got in and we drove off leaving Danny standing on the side of the road completely confused.
