Danny's POV Thursday after school.
"Danny, dude, what has been up with you since lunch?" Tucker asked while I tried to open up my locker.
"Sam is the problem." I muttered messing up my combination again.
"Lovers quarrel?" Tucker joked while playing on his PDA.
"Well one would have to be in love to have a lovers quarrel, so no." I said messing up the combo for the third time.
"Dude, don't lie to me, I'm your best friend and you are in deep." Tucker said seriously. After failing for a fourth time I hit my locker. Tucker put away his PDA.
"I'm not talking about me..." I closed my eyes and put my head against the locker. Tucker raised an eyebrow.
"Paulina gave me this at lunch." I pulled out the my phone and opened up the audio message Paulina sent me from her phone and pressed play.
Paulina: 'I'm just curious, what's going on between you and Danny? Oh come on! Everyone sees you two love birds everywhere together, it really is adorable."
Sam: "Uh are you crazy? We're not lovebirds."
Paulina: 'Oh that's too bad, how do you feel about Danny?'
Sam: "I really don't give a flying fuck, fuck him, I really would rather date a monkey than him which is better since it has more of a brain."
Paulina: "Okay, if that's really how you feel."
Sam:"Yes it really is."
"Paulina then told me how Sam has just been using me because of what her parents do that being friends with me is just to help them. I don't know if I would have believed it but it's clearly her on the audio and I just know she has been keeping something from me and she said it herself, 'she doesn't give a flying fuck' about me ."
"I don't know man..." Tucker said skeptically as I finally opened up my locker and grabbed the book I needed.
"Danny, are you okay? What's up?" Sam asked worried.
"Nothing." I turned to my locker I didn't want to look at her, she had been playing me this whole time.
"I gotta go meet Val she said she needed a ride to work today..." Tucker said awkwardly leaving the two of us.
"Really? Nothing is wrong?" She asked in her tough way.
"Yep." I stared at my locker concentrating on a dead ant in the back corner.
"Danny look at me." She demanded, I could hear her starting to sound more desperate.
I sighed and turned and looked at her. It hurt to see her looking like she cared about me but I knew the truth.
"I... What... did I do?" She asked as if she didn't know.
"Look Sam, just give it up okay?" I wasn't going to tell her, I wanted her to figure it out, to know I knew the truth about her.
"You found out?" She whispered. There it is. The truth.
"You really fooled me Sam." I turned and closed my locker.
"I- I wanted to tell you" She wanted to tell me how much she hated me? How dumb she thought I was?
"Sure you did." I laughed without any emotion.
"I- I thought... I thought that you would understand and- and that you would be okay with it..." What was she thinking? What was going on in her head thinking she could mess with my emotions like this? Fuck. Why did I care so much about her? Why does this hurt so much to upset her like this even though she knows what she did was wrong?
"Okay with it? What the fuck Sam?" My voice nearly cracked. I could see the tears in her eyes that were caused by me.
"I-" She started then stopped. Probably trying to come up with an excuse or she just didn't even know how to address it.
"I think... I think it would just be easier for both of us if we just stopped okay? We will just leave each other alone" I walked away because I saw a tear fall out of her eyes. I made her cry. I didn't want to hurt her like she hurt me but yet I still did. No matter how she hurt me with her words making her cry felt even worse.
So my winter break was super long which is why I was able to update so much but that ends tomorrow so updates will be less frequent which I am super sorry about because at this point in the story I know you all want to know what's going to happen. I will try to get a little more done tomorrow and since next week is mostly syllabus week I might have time to get some done! I don't want to leave it at this point it would be so sad!
Also if you like this story I think there is a chance you would also like this new show the The Miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir it's on Nickelodeon and its actually kinda similar to this story where they are both superheroes and totally have a thing for each other but don't know the others secret ID, also one of them is crushing on the superhero part and the other is crushing on the civilian part so its like this love square of two people. It is totally adorable. (just thought I would put that out there, since I won't have too many updates for a while that at least there is something to watch and read fanfic about while on hiatus. I have read a few and they are all pretty great from what I have read! I totally recommend it!)
