Chapter 5 – Two in One
Danny POV
I slipped back into the school as the bell rang; making sure it wasn't near the fire exit I had used to get out in case Dash was still hanging around. I don't believe I was stupid enough to get caught. How long had he been there? How much had he seen? What I was really worried about was had he seen me transform?
I was really anxious to confront him and find out but I was terrified encase he made fun of me or worse told other people. Surely he would, I mean it's Dash we're talking about here and he isn't exactly Mother Teresa. I should hope not anyway. I was almost certain he would tell everyone but a part of me argued and told me he wasn't that bad and that he wouldn't. I wasn't so sure. All the way through school he'd bullied me and all the way through school I've liked him. I don't know why I just do but what is it people say love works in peculiar ways or something like that.
I made my way to my next class – English – and quickly got in and sat down. I noticed Sam and Tucker, who were already seated, mouthing at me, not daring shout across the class to me in front of the teacher. I mouthed back 'Later' and turned back around. Our English teacher was real strict; she didn't even let us pick our own seats. I mean Sam sat next to Paulina and Tucker was with Kwan and I was next to…
Oh my God! I'm next to Dash! Looks like I am going to have to confront him sooner rather than later. Great.
Dash POV
When the bell went I debated whether to go to class or wait and see if he came back. In the end I opted for the less boring of the two and settled down to wait for him. It was a good time for me to get some thinking done.
I had seen the boy twice now, once at the library and now at school. Both times I had seen Fenten. I had knocked him over in the library and I had just seen him come through that door. Now that I think about it they did look similar, same hair (except one was black and the other was white), same height and probably the same weight. Was it possible they were two in one? My favourite punchbag and…
Well he wasn't Fenten. But the more and more I thought about it, the more they resembled each other and the possibility that they were the same person grew easier to accept.
