AN: Just a quick CheritaDonnie fic. I think that Cherita had a crush on Donnie during the film, so I got bored and wrote this.
DC: I don't own Donnie Darko of 2001, or any of the characters mentioned in this fic.

He was like no other boy she had ever laid eyes on before.
He was handsome, that was for sure. But there was something about him that she just didn't get, something that she would probably never understand about him. She was quite sure that he just glanced at her and thought 'Oh, it's that stupid chinese fat girl again,' but she didn't care. She trusted him.
He wasn't like the other guys. He wouldn't fuck about with her, teasing her and generally just being a nuisance. He would keep his mouth shut, and just stand beside them, as if he wasn't sure of where he was. She knew there was something going on with him, she'd always suspected it. He'd never been the same since he'd come.
To everyone else he was just Donnie Darko, that weird kid who nobody understood, but whom alot of them favoured. He never tried to show off like others, and if he did he did he didn't mean to. He was only trying to get a point across to the teachers. She understood this, of course. She didn't quite get what the teachers were going on about alot of the time. Sometimes she didn't even get what he was going on about either. But that was okay, because she trusted him.
Maybe it was stupid. Maybe it was only because of the fact that when he had approached her before, and she had froze and dropped her bag which contained the diary she kept about him; that he hadn't said anything to insult about this, on the contrary he had glanced at her with admiration. But she had still ran.
So everybody always thought, Donnie Darko; so predictable. But that wasn't what she thought. He wasn't like others, he was sweet, and also very deep. But there was also something else.
Cherita was beginning to realise that she was falling in love with him.
