Chapter 4

The months pass by and nothing changes, there will be days when Danny is properly coming onto me and then others where he will just ignore me. Nicole says that most girls give up, but I'm not most girls. I'm going to get Danny, one way or another, that boy will be mine.

I'm out with my mum, we've gone shopping in the town, I've got to get a dress for a party. When I see Danny, in all his glory, looking as good as usual. But also, as usual, he has Dougie with him. They seem very close as friends, I wish I was that close with my friends. Friend.

"I know them, they're my friends, I'm going to go say hi" I tell my mum, she just nods in agreement, not even looking at where I'm pointing, too interested in window shopping. Great parenting skills, mum. I walk up to the pair, they immediately stop talking and look at me, Danny with a smile, Dougie with a frown, he was smiling before he saw me. Nice of him. He's so lovely.

"Hey, Shan" Danny grins. I really like him; he's so friendly and nice, not like Dougie, I don't know what his problem is.

"Hey, Dan" I reply, grinning wider, if possible.

"What you doing here?" He asks.

"I'm shopping with my mum, got a party coming up, you wanna come with, it's tomorrow night" I say, hopefully.

"Yeah, sounds great, right Dougs?" Oh great, he has to bring him along, doesn't he? It's like he can't go anywhere without him. I've known him for 4 months, and he's literally joined at the hip to Dougie.

Dougie just makes a noise, I roll my eyes.

"Great, I'll meet you at the park tomorrow at 7, yeah?" I say. I'm so happy on the inside; tomorrow will be the night I make my move.

"Yeah, sounds like a plan" Danny chirps

"Right, well, I've got to go, but by all means Danny, stay here" Dougie says, in a way I don't understand.

Danny just rolls his eyes, "Well, it seems I have to leave, but I'll see you tomorrow at 7" He waves and leaves.

I hear Dougie speak to him as they walk away,

"You can get f*cked if you think I'm going to a party with her" Dougie spits, angrily. I don't know why though, I've never done anything to him. Pr*ck.

"Oh, Dougs, don't be like this" Danny pleads back, then their voices fade and I'm left to wonder why he hates me so much.
