6.
I was really thankful when I heard the bell. I quickly took off before anyone could speak to me again.
'Dougie!' I heard Tom yell as I was walking towards the cafeteria.
'Hey' I said and took a plate.
'Was your class as boring as mine?' he groaned
'Probably more' I said raising my eyebrows.
'Are you ok?' Tom asked me while taking his food.
'Yeah, I'm fine' I lied as we walked towards the same table as yesterday.
We were sitting there for quite some time and Danny hadn't showed up yet.
'Where is that boy?' Tom said as we were out of stuff to talk about. 'Shall I text him?' he asked pulling out his cell from his pocket.
I suddenly saw Danny walking towards us with his plate of food.
'That won't be necessary' I said to Tom as I pointed at Danny who just arrived at our table.
'Finally!' Tom said 'Where have you been?'
'I had to talk with my teacher' he said a little out of breath. He had been running to meet us.
'OOH, you had a date' Tom teased him.
'God no!' Danny made a disgust face. 'Have you seen her? She looks like a troll!'
We all laughed. Danny looked at me and narrowed his eyes.
'You're quiet' he said. 'Is everything ok?'
'Tell you later, alright?' I asked. At least I had our meeting after school to look forward to.
'Sure' he said and started talking again.
Lunch was over quickly. We saw Harry and chatted with him for a while before I had to go to class.
Reluctantly I took my seat again and I was glad that everyone left me alone. They whispered and looked at me to burst out in laughter but thankfully they didn't say anything to me. I didn't pay any attention in class and drew some pictures in my workbook. I tried to occupy myself and to kill the time. I was looking forward to meeting Danny after school and prayed that time was on my side. But it wasn't. Sometimes there were only 4 minutes passed when it felt like 40! I hate it when that happens.
I counted down every hour, minute, second to the bell and I was glad when it finally rang. Again, I took off as fast as I could and found Harry in the hallway.
'Hey, how was your day?' he asked
'Boring, how was yours?'
He laughed. 'Exactly, the same.'
'Oh there is Danny, see your tomorrow yeah?' I said when I saw Danny standing by his locker.
'yeah, see ya!' Harry said and walked outside to go to the bus.
'Hey!' I said smiling.
'There you are' he said also smiling. 'Can't believe this day is finally over!'
I laughed. Seems like everyone didn't have the greatest day.
'So, where are we going?' I asked excited.
'Just hanging. Playground perhaps?'
He laughed when he saw my face.
'No Doug, we're not going to play in the sand.'
