70 Good morning
"You're a bright ray of sunshine today."
"Mornin' to you too," Danny grumbled as she met up with her friend, trying her hardest to shake off her anxiety.
"Ready for the tests today?" Tucker asked as they meandered to their lockers in the oddly still hall.
"Think so," Danny replied as she opened her locker. "What d'you have today?"
"Social studies and math. You?"
"Same. Funny how we weren't in the same period but still have to take the final together," Danny murmured, slightly amused.
Tucker shrugged. "Meh. What's the rest of your schedule?"
"Tomorrow, English. Thursday, Astro and language. Tech had a final project and nothing for lunch or gym. You?"
"More or less the same, 'cept I have my computer class tomorrow and only language on Thursday. Luck that we get everything done quickly, huh?"
Danny nodded in agreement.
"How's Sam's?" Tucker asked.
Danny shrugged. "I dunno. It doesn't really matter—I think he's done Thursday as well."
"Dude, you should know these things! You're dating!"
"That doesn't mean we have to tell each other every minute detail of our lives," Danny half-snapped in reply.
"Whoa, relax!" Tucker said, holding her hands up in an unconscious placating gesture. "What, you guys have a spat or something?"
Danny sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Nah, I'm just on edge is all. Tests are looming and I need to pass them. I'm also dreading my summer."
"What? Why?"
"I'm being employed by Vlad! My parents arranged it and I can't escape it!" Danny growled, frustrated. She closed her locker softly but emphatically, not wanting to get in trouble for making too much noise.
"Whoa. That really sucks," Tucker said.
"Tell me about it!" Danny took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "Right now, I have tests, though. One thing at a time, right?"
Tucker gave her best friend an attempt at a reassuring smile. "Right."
