Chapter 6 – Confrontation
Dash POV
The bell went for the end of English and the beginning of lunch – I had missed the whole of my double English class. I came in through the fire exit and was on my way to the dining hall when I heard Fenten and his gang. I quickly hid round the corner and listened to their conversation if it could be called that.
"Hurry up Danny, we're gonna be last in line for lunch." The voice that had said this was male but not Danny's so I guessed it was his male friend.
"As usual." Came the bored reply of his gothic friend.
"Go on ahead guys, I'll be right over."
Perfect I thought to myself.
Danny POV
I was trying to fit the books I didn't need into my locker and get the ones I needed for my next class out but as usual things weren't going my way. Just then I was pulled away from my locker and pushed against another. The looming face of Dash appeared in front of my own.
"Eh…Hi Dash." I said weakly. I'll admit I was a bit scared, more than usual because of that glint in his eye, like he knew something. Damn, what if he did know?
"What are you?" He said this forcefully, though I could sense the curiosity of the question. "Who are you?" He said this so quietly I almost didn't hear it and, again, I heard curiosity but also a need that had to be answered.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play games!" Dash shouted. "I saw you. You went out the fire exit and when I got out he was there." Dash's face took on a dream like expression, though it was short lived because after about ten seconds he snapped out of it. "Tell me the truth." His voice was desperate.
"Ok, but you have to promise not to tell anyone, ok?"
How cool is that – I've always wanted to use ok both at the beginning and end of a sentence.
Yeah me.
