CHAPTER EIGHT – TRUTH

DASH POV

"What?" Danny looked startled as if he didn't believe that he had just asked him what he did.

"Show me how you do it." He hesitated for a few minutes then looked around the corridor. I followed his gaze, scanning the long floor and locker covered walls. When I finally turned my attention back to him I saw him nodding his head absent-mindedly before he turned his eyes towards me.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone." There's a low undertone of fear in his voice and I nod slowly and smile at the same time in an attempt to remove it.

Two twin circles appear on his body – starting in the middle one travels up while the other travels down at the same speed. As the rings of light pass over his body he changes right before my eyes. He transforms into him, the one who plagues my dreams when I'm asleep and my thoughts when I'm awake.

All I can manage to come up with is "Wow" and I can only manage to whisper it softly while staring blankly as he changes back.

There were a few minutes of silence between us, during which I could tell he wanted to ask me something. I didn't want to push him and instead just waited until he felt comfortable enough to say it.

"Why are you so interested in my other form?" The sudden question startled me and I found myself not wanting to answer because I was unsure of how he would react.

"Eh…I…I'm kind of…" He looked at me questioningly, which made me stutter and blush more. "I'mkindofattractedtohim," I said in one go.

"What? Could you say that again." That made me blush even more. I can't believe he's gonna make me repeat this.

"I'm attracted to him." I stared at his eyes, waiting for him to say something or laugh but he didn't. I took a deep breath and decided to go on. "And I think I'm attracted to you too."

"What?" He spluttered out.

"I..I'm attracted to you as well."

He looked shocked for a minute then smiled and took a step closer. I instinctively took a step backwards and found myself pressed against the locker with Danny in front of me and no escape route possible. As he came closer my face began to heat up and my breathing and heart rates increased and then…

"Brriiiiiiiinnnnnggg!"
