Natalie POV

The blackness was starting to fade, it went from black to grey, to a lighter shade of grey into a bright white room. I saw the bright light bulb dangling from the ceiling above me and blinked twice. I turned my head and saw 2 wide green eyes looking down at me.

"Hey, look who's awake." Said Dan with a grin. I sat up slowly and wobbly with a terrible head ache.

"What happened" I managed to get out while rubbing the back of my head, the whole room was still spinning and I felt a thin layer or moisture on my forehead.

"You passed out in science Ms. Kabra," said the nurse. I hadn't noticed that she was standing right beside Dan. I had only noticed Dan.

"It was epic! One minute you were turning green because of the blue gunk and then you totally-" The nurse put her hand over Dan's mouth before he could finish.

"How are you Natalie?" The nurse asked,

"I've been better, a lot better." I said.

"You've been excused from the rest of your classes, Dan will drive you home."

"What?" I asked.

"Heh?" asked Dan while playing with the lamp on the desk.

The nurse had already left the room.

"Coming or not?" asked Dan,

"coming," I said quietly. I was surprised that Dan wasn't driving some beat up old car, he was driving a Mercedes Benz. The drive was quiet until Dan ruined it by talking.

"Why are you in New Jersey anyways?"

"Why do you care?" I tried to avoid answering his question but I really did want to know why he cared.

"I don't- just curious." He said while driving. I sighed,

"We were adopted,"

"Of course you were." Dan said sarcastically.

"We really were."

"Why? You and Ian were left with 4 million dollars."

"Well, we spent it all on hotel suites and shopping," I admitted while playing with my pink nails.

"I'm not surprised," muttered Dan. I rolled my eyes but continued,

"After that, Ian decided to go to court. He was trying to convince the judge that fath- Vikram," I winced while saying his name. "Should let us inherit some money. But, the court said that we were too young to handle that much money and that until Ian turned 18- we're stuck in foster care. "

"You lost everything," Dan said.

"Thanks for pointing that out!" I said while turning red. "Our foster mom's condo is a little too small for our liking, we had most of our stuff locked up in storage rooms that our social worker managed to get us. "

"Sorry," Dan said regretfully. I couple of minutes of silent passed by until I started to get curious.

"What's your side of the story?" I asked,

"What do you mean," boys are such airheads.

"Why are you in New Jersey? I heard you and Amy had Grace's mansion rebuilt."

"We are," said Dan.

"So?"

"Amy accepted a scholarship at a university that's in a city close to New Jersey and because a mansion as large as Grace's, take a long time to be built- Nellie thought it would be easier for all of us to move here until the mansion is ready for us to move into." Dan explained.

I didn't really get it but I didn't have time to ask anymore questions because Dan had already parked his car into the tiny driveway of the condo.

He stopped me by placing his hand on my shoulder,

"Before you go, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the junior prom with me?"

"Excuse me?" I asked in shock.

"It's not like anyone else is going to ask you," I was offended by that, but it was the truth.

"Why?"

"Why what?" he asked.

"Why do you want me to go with you?" I asked. "Let me guess, did all the other girls in school turn you down?"

"No, they actually asked me to go with them."

"Then why didn't you?" I asked,

"Didn't fell like it," he shrugged his shoulders. I got out of the car without answering the question. Before I shut the door Dan called,

"See you then,"

"What?"

"I'll see you at the prom," and with a grin he drove off. I don't know why or how, but for some reason. I smiled at the thought of going to the prom with him.
