Chapter 3: Dani

Aka A Dashboard Confessional

I don't know what to think anymore. Does he like me? I know I like him, but I don't want to make a fool of myself. Oh, by the way, I'm Danielle. I really don't like my name, so people call me Dani for short. I guess you could say I'm somewhat of a hopeless romantic. I look for love in all the wrong places, not that I know what the hell love is. I'm still in high school, for Christ's sake! I don't' know what love is! But, I kinda like Christian.uh, back to the story.

WE all decided to hang at Christian's house until 7:30 or so, and then go to this place where we're supposed to meet this professor we helped earlier today, remember? Well, it's around noon now and we decided to order pizza! Yay! I love pizza! And nachos.mmm.Anyways, while Christian was off on the phone ordering the pizza, me, Daniel, and Bri got to talking.

"Well," Daniel started, "are you going to do something about this, Dani?"

"Do what about what?" I said back, trying not to sound obvious as to what he was talking about.

"When the hell are one of you gonna fricken fess up and ask the other out!" Bri said almost instantly. I'm actually quite surprised Christian didn't hear it, or at least I don't' think he heard it.

"I don't know what y'all are talking about." I said, trying to avoid the conversation.

"Oh, don't give us that shit!" Daniel said. "You two have been flirting with each other since day one and you know it!" He was starting to get really annoyed with me, I think. I guess I can get on people's nerves sometimes, but I can't help it.

"I honestly don't know what you're talking about, Danny." Of course, I lied. I never like to talk about Christian to anybody except Bri when we were alone. She's like, my best friend! We talk about everything. But I'm getting off track here.

"Let's not talk about this here, guys! Not in Christian's house! Especially with him in the next room!" I really didn't want him to hear anything about this. And in almost comedic timing, Christian walks in.

"Hey guys!" He said. "The pizza should be here in about 45 minutes. You guys wanna watch a movie while we wait?"

"Sure, man." Daniel said excitingly. "You got Pirates of the Caribbean? Man I love that movie!"

"NO!" Christian said angrily. "With Christmas so near, my parents are making me wait until then so they can get it for me."

"I got it at my house!" I said following suit. "Y'all want me to go get it?"

"Sure, I'll go with you, Dani!" Bri almost shouted out. "We need to talk, anyways."

God am I dreading this! Whenever she wants to 'talk' it's usually about Christian. But who knows, this one might be different.

"We'll say behind if the pizza comes early." Daniel said and Christian agreed. And before I know it, we were in my car, on the way to my house. And God, Bri didn't waste any time getting to the point.

"Why are you being such a coward?!" Bri said to me harshly just as we were pulling out of Christian's neighborhood.

I remained silent, dead silent. I really didn't want to talk about his now. I'll just speed the entire way there. That's it! I'll go 60 the entire way!

Then Bri decided to open her mouth again, "Hellllo!" She shouted. "Did you hear what I said?!"

"YES! YES I HEARD YOU!" I shouted back. Then I calmed myself down and said, "It's just. It's just a complicated matter, that's all."

"What are you talking about?" Bri said. "You like him, and I'm pretty damn sure he likes you from all the flirting you two have been doing, lately especially!"

"I know! I know!" I said. "I just don't want to make a fool of myself if he doesn't really like me!" I shouted that out kinda loud. It caused an eerie silence throughout the remainder of the drive to my house.

I walked inside my house to three screaming children and my temperamental mother. I figured I would just grab the movie and slip out unnoticed. But of course, my mom walks in with a creaming baby in her arm. My mom yelled to me, "Pick up some milk and eggs on your way home tonight! We're runnin' low!"

"Okay, mama! Love ya!" I yelled out and left the house with the movie in hand. I got back into the car and started to drive home. Again, it was a silent ride, until Bri finally decided to say something nearly half way through the drive.

".You gonna ask him out?"

"I don't know." I told her. And I really wanted to, but I've never done something like that before. And I didn't want to fall flat on my face.
