Hey, guys! Thank you for the reviews! I love hearing from you, and I will try to write longer chapters. Not counting this one. Sorry. By now, it's already written. Anyway, did you notice how I published the last chapter yesterday? That's because I spent a lot of extra time on this one. I just couldn't seem to stop writing.
Also, the reason that I didn't write a lot at the bottom in the last chapter is because my dad was taking his computer back, which is what I was writing on. I wanted to hurry up and publish so that my Hannah would stop bugging me about it.
Anyway, I hope you love this chapter! It's all good and juicy.

Daisy walked nervously to the spot behind the stairs. Would Luigi be mad? Would he even come? He didn't. Daisy stood there until the late bell rang, but no luck. He was definitely pissed.
Come lunch time, Daisy was feeling depressed. Although, why should she be the one feeling bad? She did absolutely nothing. All that happened was she got beat up. That wasn't even close to her fault.
"Daisy." She snapped to attention and looked over at Rosalina. "What's wrong?"
Daisy's lip trembled. "I went home early yesterday, so I didn't have a chance to meet Luigi under the stairs. He wasn't there this morning. I think he thinks I blew him off and now he's pissed off at me." She sighed. "And I was just about to tell him that I love him. Well, after I ask him what his last name is."
"Mario," Peach said. "Luigi's last name is Mario."
Daisy raised an eyebrow. "That's his brother's first name."
Peach laughed. "I know. He was named after his own last name. Mario Mario. He hates it, but I make fun of it all the time." She started laughing harder, and so did Toadette, then Rosalina, and Daisy couldn't resist."
"I love Luigi Mario," she sighed.
Then Pauline strutted up to them. "Talking about your ex-boyfriend again, Daisy?"
Daisy almost cried. "He didn't break up with her, Pauline!" Toadette screamed. "You're just jealous because you can't get a guy like him!"
"Of course I could," Pauline scoffed, rolling her eyes. "And if I did, I could definitely keep him."
Daisy couldn't stand it anymore. She ran out, crying.
It had been a Friday, and Daisy thought that the weekend would be a nice break. She was wrong. She had nothing to do, for one thing, because she was grounded from anything fun. Also, Daisy couldn't stop thinking about Luigi. She feared for her perfect relationship with her first love.
It's alright, Daisy thought. I'll talk to him on Monday. She never got that chance. That whole week was just like that Friday when Luigi didn't talk to her. He didn't talk to her in the morning. Her friends would help her to feel better, only to have Pauline upset her all over again. Then she would go under the stairs at the end of the day, wait for a while, and then go home. He was definitely pissed.
The Week of Torture finally ended, and a new Monday came around. Daisy ducked under the stairs. She didn't know why she even bothered trying anymore. That's when he came. Luigi came back for Daisy, although he definitely didn't look happy.
"Where were you?" Daisy asked, restraining herself from pulling him into a tight hug. She had missed him so much.
"Isle Delfino. I left last Friday. If you hadn't stood me up, you would know that," Luigi snapped. "You know, I was only going to tell you where I was really going. I'm telling everyone else that I had the flu for a week."
"Luigi, you're overreacting. I didn't stand you up. I was at home," Daisy explained.
"I know. You're supposed to stay a few minutes after school to see me. But I guess you couldn't be bothered to do that."
"No, Luigi, that's not what I meant." Daisy was getting desperate.
"Oh, really? What did you mean? Because I know that you weren't sick. I saw you in the morning, and you weren't sick at all. So what, honestly, did you mean?" Luigi's pissed-off eyes glared down at Daisy, who was starting to get a little angry.
"I meant that Stephanie tackled me and punched the crap out of me in the bathroom, so I called my dad. He came here, picked me up, and arrested her. That's what I meant."
"Oh," was all that Luigi could say. His eyes filled with guilt as he looked at the faded cuts and bruises on Daisy's face.
"You know, Luigi, I cried over you. While I was at home, lying in bed, all I could think about was whether you were going to be mad at me or not. Then when I didn't see you on Friday or all last week, I thought that meant that you had broken up with me. But I was hoping that before you got all worked up, you would listen to me. You would have faith in me and understand that it wasn't my fault. But you didn't even have the decency to tell Peach where you were at so that I didn't cry my eyes out." Daisy stomped away.
"No, Daisy," Luigi called, but she ignored him. It was her turn to be pissed off.
Daisy couldn't eat at lunch. Luigi had already felt so guilty, because he had overreacted when he was feeling hurt. He had tried to apologize, and Daisy could have accepted it; could have been happy. But she chose not to. And now she couldn't make it better because there was no way he'd meet her under the stairs.
"What happened, Daisy?" A simple question from Peach was enough to throw Daisy into tears.
"Luigi. He was at Isle Delfino and never got a chance to tell me. He started screaming at me about standing him up. He was just hurt, I know, but then I sent him on a long guilt trip and walked away. And now he's never going to want to talk to me again!" Daisy exploded into mega-tears, and all of her friends came and hugged her. That's because they all knew that she had probably just ended the best relationship she would ever have.
Wow. This is kind of a short chapter, isn't it? I'm really sorry about that. Again, I'll try to write them longer. It's just that I don't want to start writing garbage when I'm out of ideas. But I'll do better, I promise. That's all I can say. Except for the fact that I'm glad that it's over. Mostly. I don't know what will happen, but I just hope that Luaisy can last through this horrible fight. Remember: Follow, favorite, and review! Goodbye for now!
