Hi guys! So I just wanted to do a little shout out. To you guys3 You always brighten up my day with your little comments. You make me continue on with my chapters when I get lazy, you're the ones who inspired me to keep making these! I know it sounds crazy, but thank you. I couldn't do this without all of you. Alright, now back to the story!

Oh, and to any celebrating Thanksgiving, HAPPY THANKSGIVING. I am Canadian, so Ive already had it.

So, in this chapter it'll show her in school again, and since I'm not in college, I don't know how it works. If it doesn't seem like college would, I apologize in advance.

Oh, and just because I love you guys, this chapter will be extra long. I know you've been wanting longer chapters.

I love you. I love you. I love you. I want to say it until my heart gives out. It feels so nice to say, especially to Nellie. And to hear, of course better to hear coming from Nellie's lips. She's perfect. I'm surprised she's giving me a chance, I am definitely far from being perfect. We were still cuddled together on the bed, when she nudged me. I was deep in thought so I jumped a bit. She laughed, and lifted me off of her. "Can I show you something?" She asked. I nodded, and watched as she grabbed a guitar. "I've kind of been working on this song ever since the day I met you. I knew right from the get go that someday we'd be together. Its not completely done though. Its called Lights." She said, sitting on the bed across from me. A song, a song? For me? She was, just amazing.

Can't get you out of my mind, So I,

Try and get space go outside

But then there you are

Never very far from me here

Try and discuss the simplicity and love of a

Wood burning fire, in front of me

Think of other times

Ignore wishes that you were mine

She then got up, kneeled on the floor, and closed her eyes.

Bright, bright

Lights

Spotlight makes it hard to see the stars at night

Everyday has become my stage and I

Feel I have made

One, two, three many mistakes

Lets go the speed of light

So we can stop,

Stand still in time six seventy one

Million miles an hour we'll run

Exist with our own rules of the world

Where things that happen here aren't told

Cover up with the truth

That I'm not really with you

She then stopped playing, a tear was trickling down my cheek. She was such a great singer, and the passion in that song was incredible. "That's all I have so far. I still need to figure out a third verse.." She said, taking my hand. Her eyes were filled up with tears. "I think its amazing. You're amazing." I grabbed her face, and kissed her passionately. "I never really knew you could sing." I said, pulling her onto the bed. "I've been singing for a while. Its really been helpful to crap that's gone on. I was in my high school glee club. Whenever I had a problem, I didn't get majorly upset, I just sang about it." She explained. "You have a fantastic voice. You need to share it with everyone." I suggested.

"Share it with everyone? I was a background singer, I did the OOH's and the AH's. I'm too nervous to sing in front of just anyone." "Well, you sang in front of me?" I asked, confused. "You're not just anyone." She smiled, as she kissed me, while making a loud kissy sound. "I don't care if it takes me the rest of my life. Ill finish that song." She said, putting her arm around me.

The next day was the regular. Get up early, get dressed, brush teeth, brush hair, get myself all dolled up, grab my stuff, and head out the door for school. I didn't mind school, but it meant I had to stay away from Nellie, and see Professor Foxenworthy. I shut the door, and headed out. I walked down the hall, did my daily routine of greeting Abraham and Ali, but now Charlie was in that little posse. I rushed to the class, and sat in my normal seat beside Aylin. I didn't want to talk to Aylin today, because I knew that Emily would drag herself in and make me even more uncomfortable. I grabbed my books from my bag, and just sat, playing on my phone, waiting for class to start.

"Phones away Miss Shay." I heard Mr Foxenworthy say. I quickly stuffed it in my bag, and stared at him. "Tell me, what are you're dreams?" He asked all of us. "You!" He pointed to some random girl with red, curly hair. "Marissa." She quickly looked up, she looked shy though. I noticed she was drawing something, instead of paying attention. "Ye-yeah?" She stuttered. "What is your dream?" "I, um. Would like to become an artist." She said, biting her lip. "Ah, interesting. You, Mr Michael Weisman. What would you like to be." He asked, pointing to a very attractive boy. I was gay, but boy if I wasn't… "I guess id like to be a guitar player, and sing a little." He answered. His voice was deep, and very masculine. "I see. Last one, you. Miss Shay." He pointed right at me. Oh crap, think fast… "Um Id like to be a singer, and actor." I answered quickly. "Miss Shay. Do you think that dream is very reasonable?" He asked, heading to a seat. "Excuse me?" I was so confused. "Well, being famous is very hard. And I'm not sure you'd be able to push yourself far enough to become famous. You're weak, and not a very hard worker." I stood up, angrily. "I'm allowed to dream anything I want. You cant just criticize me when you didn't for Marissa, or Michael." "Yes, I am your professor. Its my job to help you choose a reasonable dream."

"Dani, sit down." Aylin whispered to me. "No! You cant say that to me." I shouted to him. "I'm just being honest." "Just because you have a problem with my family, doesn't mean you're allowed to be rude to me!"

"My impression I got of you, is the exact same as all of your family. You're weak, lazy, and not at all someone who likes to try." He said. "My family was right about you. You're a dick!" I shouted, by accident. I quickly put my hands over my mouth, shocked that I just said that. "After class today, you can clean up in here. I will not be spoken to that way." I nodded, and quickly sat down. "That isn't fair!" Michael yelled, standing up for me. Oh, he's standing up for me! Aww. What a sweet person. "You too then." He said. "Guess ill see you after class." Michael said. I just nodded at him, and smiled.

After class, me and Michael stayed behind. "When the room is nice and spotless, you can leave." Mr Foxenworthy lectured us. He then left, and shut the door. "So…" He laughed, kicking his feet around. I just smiled. "I'm DanI." I said, holding my hand out. "Michael." He shook my hand, and smiled again. "Okay. I need to ask. Do you have a girlfriend? Not that I'm interested, I'm just wondering." I asked. He just laughed. "No. I'm gay. I do have a boyfriend though." He answered. "What a small world, I am too!" I laughed. "You dating anybody right now?" He asked. "Yeah…" I smiled. "Ooh, who?"

"Nellie Veitenheimer. Who are you dating?" "Blake Jenner." He said, getting his phone out. He showed me a picture of Blake, wow. He was kind of cute too. "You know, he kind of looks like the boy version of you." Michael said, putting his phone back in his pocket. "Yeah, I guess." "So, you know that chick Emily who sits near you?" That made me freeze. I just stood there, and thought about Emily. "Hey, Dani? You okay?" Michael asked, waving his hand in front of my face. "Yeah.. Fine. Why?" I asked.

"You blanked when I mentioned Emily. What's wrong?" He asked, while I was staring at the ground. "Nothing." I started to scratch at my wrist, I did whenever I was nervous. "No. Something's wrong." He said, trying to get me to squeal. "I cant tell you." I said, trying to go to the board to start cleaning. "Tell me now. Or else." He smiled. "Fine…" I said, turning to face him. "One day my friend, Charlie Lubeck, got really badly hurt. He almost died. I figured out who did it, it was Emily. She said if I tell anybody, that id die. Please, don't tell anybody." I begged. "Am I the only one who knows?" He asked. I nodded. "DanI, you have to tell the police." He said, worried. "No! I cant. She knows I'm the only one who knows, and if she gets arrested, and comes out, she'll murder me." I was so scared. "If she's not caught in a month, then I'm telling someone." He said, starting to clean. I just sighed, but agreed. "So, does Blake go to this school?" I asked. "Yeah, he is. We share a dorm, which is even better. If you know what I mean." Michael said, winking. I just started laughing at that. "Yeah, me and Nellie are roomies too." I said, wiping some stuff off the board. "DanI?" He said. "Yeah?" I asked, turning my face to him. "I think I just found a new friend." He laughed. "Me too Michael. Me too."
