Disclaimer: i do not own any of the DP characters
As Tucker and Danny talked about games in the background, I was concentrating on Miss Madeleine and what she had said. What exactly had she meant? It seemed like she knew what how the Lancer incident had happened and was encouraging me to hurt those that made me upset. As she turned to look at me, I glared at her, trying to figure out just what she was up to. I wouldn't have broken the glare if not for a piercing headache. All I saw was red when I closed my eyes. Then, it disappeared and bodies appeared, flashing past so fast I could catch a glimpse before they disappeared. Was I having flashbacks? I thought. This was not possible. How could I have been in such a vile place? With so much blood and bodies strewn around like rubbish. I shook my head and opened my eyes to see the concerned faces of both Danny and Tucker.
"What?" I asked, irritated. I hated being stared at like that.
"You okay? You look like you were in pain just now" said Tucker as he waved a hand in front of me. I slapped his hand away and simply nodded to indicate I was fine. I looked up to see Miss Madeleine smirking. Obviously she had seen what was happening. I glared at her once again before turning to Tucker and Danny.
"You sure you're okay?" Danny whispered as he leaned close to my ear.
"Yes, I'm sure I'm okay" I replied. I was aware of Tucker watching the both of us carefully and if Danny didn't move away he would assume that there was something between us. I watched as Tucker reached into his pocket for his PDA and remembered that his PDA had a camera installed. 'Shit' I thought as my eyes widened. Quickly, I snatched the PDA out of his hand and kept it in my pocket.
"What were you thinking of doing?" I asked as I glared at Tucker. He looked at me calmly. He was probably used to me glaring at him so much that he wasn't afraid anymore.
"Just taking a picture" said Tucker as he grinned cheekily. I glared. Danny looked between the two of us not exactly knowing why Tucker was grinning while I was glaring.
"Hey, why not the three of us take a picture together?" asked Danny suddenly.
"What?" I was surprised.
"Sure!" Tucker replied, his grin still in place. Oh, how my ached to slap that grin off his face.
"I'm going to stick it up in my locker. Why don't all three of us do that?" Danny asked enthusiastically.
"Not possible. I'll keep it at home" I answered coldly. Tucker, who was about to agree happily, pouted and Danny's face fell.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not going to put it in my locker and that's it" I said as I closed my eyes, ignoring their pitiful faces. Both of them sighed and began to talk about games and stuff again. I opened my eyes when they had and taking out my notebook and pencil, began to draw. I had always liked drawing. My teachers had told me I was good at drawing since whenever they saw my paintings, they told me that it seemed like the real thing and was as beautiful. I had always wondered how I had gotten this talent for drawing and painting and when I had stumbled upon a hidden attic in my house a few years back, I found out. In the attic was dozens and dozens of paintings, with my mother's name on them. When I had asked my mother about it, she had told me. She used to paint when she was younger and that had been her passion. It had also led her to my father. She had broken down into tears when she mentioned my father and I didn't say anything else except comfort her at that time.
"Wow, Sam! That's a really nice sketch" said Danny as he took the notebook and looked at it.
"Who is she? She looks very beautiful" asked Danny as he continued to admire my work.
"She's my mother. At least, that was before my father died" I didn't remember anything about my father's death but I knew he was dead. My mother had told me. Soon after that, she began to change. She went out early and was always home late at night, smelling of alcohol. This continued until I went on to high school where I couldn't take it any longer and had yelled at her when she came back. I had yelled at her for leaving me alone and going out to have fun. That had led to a huge quarrel between us and possibly the first only quarrel. After that, she had stopped. She was her again, her before my father had died. Sometimes, she still went out but it was only once in a while.
"I see…" Danny trailed off. Tucker looked uncomfortable. He always was whenever my father was brought up. I sighed and simply shook my head before turning to look out the windows.
"The clouds are pretty today" I said, trying to cheer Tucker up even though I did think he deserved to feel like that for trying to get a picture of me and Danny and pass it off as though something was going on between us.
"Yeah" said Danny. Tucker took a look at the clouds and without warning, began trying to get the PDA from me. I managed to beat him though no as bad as I beat Dash but enough for him to stay still and without causing a commotion. I dropped the PDA in his hands with a single,
"Here" An awkward silence fell. Danny and Tucker looked everywhere except at me. I simply sighed and waited for the bell to ring, wishing for this lesson to end and to get away from Miss Madeleine.
