Chapter 3: Danny with his Mom
When Mrs. Maddie Fenton came up from the basement she saw her son looking very depressed.
"Danny, are you alright?" She asked her son.
Danny looked up at his mother and said, "Well, when Sam came she started talking about the future-"
Mrs. Fenton cut him off and said, "Oh, honey! I can't believe that you and Sam are dating! Oh, I knew this day would come!"
Danny said, "Mom, mom! Sam and I aren't dating! What I was trying to tell you is that she made me kind of worried because she kept saying that after high school, we might never see each other again, and I think she might be right."
Mrs. Fenton sighed and said, "Danny, I know that you think that the chances of you and Sam having the same courses together are slim, but trust me, you'll be surprised at how things work out."
Danny was still not feeling much better he said, "What about after college, I could wind up an astronaut and she might not work for NASA at all, or she could be an astronaut and I could not end up at NASA."
Mrs. Fenton hugged her young son and said, "Oh, Danny, you've got it bad for Sam."
Danny replied, "Mom! I am not in love with Sam, she's just a really…O.K. you caught me. I guess I do like Sam."
Mrs. Fenton smiled and asked, "So why don't you tell her?"
Danny replied, "Well, because a lot of reasons like what it would do to our friendship, she might not feel the same way, and most importantly, it's too late to tell her!"
Mrs. Fenton said, "Danny it's never too late to tell a girl your feelings."
Danny
replied, "It is for me, our school gets out in 6 days."
Mrs.
Fenton looked at Danny and said, "That's still enough time. You
can tell her."
Danny sighed and asked, "Yeah, but how?"
Mrs. Fenton replied, "Danny you're a bright boy! You can figure it out." With that she was gone.
