Danny VS Dylan

Chapter 5

I was just stuffing my books into my locker when I noticed Chris and Danny walking towards me with serious looks on their faces.

"Hey guys what's up?" I asked.

"We've got a problem," Chris began.

"About?" I inquired.

"Dylan," Danny stated and I sighed.

"Danny aren't you taking this a bit far?" I asked.

"Actually this is serious MBC business," Chris said and I looked at them both puzzled.

"What is Dylan some alien using Cathy to tell all of our secrets to him?" I asked and started to laugh, but stopped when Danny and Chris shot me serious looks. "Seriously?" I asked.

"He's from planet Dureous and he has controlling powers," Chris explained quickly.

"We think that he's controlling Cathy to get her to spill our secrets," Danny said.

"He's not exactly bad guy type though," I said.

"Maybe he's working for someone else," Chris suggested.

"Possibly," I said.

"We have to tell Cathy though and try to break his control over her," Danny said.

"Have you ever thought that maybe he's not controlling her?" I asked.

"Yeah and my name's not Danny," Danny snapped and I sighed.

"Come on Sam, this could get serious," Chris said and I looked at him and something came to mind just at the moment.

"How did you guys find out about his powers anyway?" I asked accusingly and let my gaze fall on Chris.

"We used the computer in the clubhouse that's all," Danny said.

"You really need some help," I said. "Being jealous is one thing, doing research on the guy is a whole new level of weird," I said and turned to head towards Mr. Fusster's class.

"Why aren't you taking this seriously?" Danny asked.

"Because I've met Dylan and he's really nice," I argued.

"It's always the nice ones," Chris jumped in. "Ever heard of that?" Chris asked.

"Okay, for one moment let's actually believe Dylan is controlling Cathy, his planet isn't exactly a huge threat and many people already know about us. He might just be some crazy fan wanting some info that'll make him famous," I reasoned.

"Or he could be sent here by some dangerous alien who wants to get some information out of Cathy and then possible destroy us," Danny said and I looked around and then pulled Chris and Danny into an empty classroom.

"Sam you've got to believe us," Chris pleaded. "We think Dylan might actually do something terrible to Cathy," Chris added. I looked up at him, he was lying, right? Cathy wasn't in any danger, U mean Dylan was a normal kids just like us, well then again we weren't exactly normal and technically neither was Dylan so maybe they were right.

"You've got a point, I guess," I whispered.

"Now we've got to find Cathy and tell her all this," Danny said eagerly.

"You two wait here, I'll go find her," I offered and escaped the classroom and out into the hallway. I checked my watch, 10 minutes before class started. I began in Mr. Fusster's classroom, no Cathy. I scoured the hallway looking for her, but still no sign of her, but then I eventually found her at her locker, alone thankfully. I walked up to her just as she closed her locker and she turned and smiled.

"Hey Sam," Cathy said brightly.

"We need to talk Cathy," I said and Cathy looked at me puzzled.

"Well, we'd better hurry you know how Mr. Fusster gets when we're late," Cathy said and I sighed.

"Trust me this will only take a few minutes," I said and I led her back to empty classroom where Chris and Danny were still waiting.

"We've got some exclusive MBC information," Danny said and Cathy nodded.

"Well, Dylan isn't exactly who you think he is," Chris began.

"What do you mean?" Cathy asked calmly.

"We mean that we found out that he's actually an alien from planet Dureous," Danny said.

"Like most on his planet he's got controlling powers," Chris added.

"And?" Cathy coaxed.

"And," I began. "We believe he's using his powers on you."

"I've heard of the planet Dureous," Cathy said calmly. "Apparently the people are very nice and honest, unlike earthlings," Cathy said her eyes reflecting her true fury. They sliced through me like daggers and I looked at Chris in alarm.

"We're only telling you the truth," Danny defended.

"The truth?" Cathy snapped angrily. "The truth is that you Danny are just jealous, you're a jealous, dishonest, low-life guy whose way too competitive and too stupid to actually know the difference between a nice guy and someone like yourself," Cathy yelled.

"Cathy calm down, someone might hear you," I warned and Cathy glared at me.

"I expected so much more from you Sam!" Cathy yelled. "I thought you were my friend." That hurt.

"I am Cathy," I said quickly.

"She had nothing to do with this," Chris said and I glanced at him quickly.

"I've heard enough," Cathy said and turned and walked towards the door.

"Cathy please, we're just trying to make sure nothing bad happens to you," Danny reasoned, but Cathy ignored him and stormed out of the room.

"This is bad," Chris whispered.

"Bad?" I squeaked. "This is completely terrible," I said.

"Sam, chill okay? Cathy's already mad enough at us," Danny said.

"Us?" I said and walked over to him and looked him directly in the eyes. "You are the one who was so jealous that he took things way too far and now has one of our best friends furious with us," I said and glanced at the clock. We had less than 5 minutes to make it too class.

"Come on we'll be late," Chris whispered following my gaze. Danny led the way as we left the empty classroom and hurried into Mr. Fusster's room. Cathy was copying something on the board so that she didn't have to look at us as we entered. I sat down in my seat across from her and then started to copy the assignment and began to work.
