AN: Heeeey, y'all! Having a nice friday? Well, I'm typing up this AN before school, so, you know, gotta hurry, a bit. I'm glad you guys are liking the story enough to stick around! These poor boys, huh? Things don't look too good for them. Well. Don't count them out just yet. They know how to bounce back. And you know, this is all...

Just To Let You Know

Danny stuck his tongue out unintentionally while running to the English classroom, as he was determined to get to class early. He was fifteen minutes early to school. There was no way that Andrew would be there before him. He could get his seat back, Andrew would sit in the back with Dash, and Kwan, and the other jocks, and order would be restored.

He stepped into the classroom, and gaped. There he was, sitting in the same seat as yesterday, reading some book, and looking oh so comfortable, like he knew he had stolen that seat. But how had he gotten there already?! Not even the nerds like Mikey and Nathan got here this early! He sat down next to him, thumping into his chair and practically throwing his stuff under his desk. Andrew raised an eyebrow, but apparently didn't think he was worthy of a glance. Probably went out and bought a new book yesterday. Not like Danny did much damage! It was only, like, 10 bucks down the drain! He hissed at him, "How long have you been here?!"

He looked up at the clock, then back down to his book, flipping a page as he readjusted. "Hm, about fifteen minutes." Danny couldn't believe it. Why would he come here that early?! He voiced said question aloud, to which the older answered, "It's quiet, and I get more reading done here than I do at home."

He scoffed. Riter was a nerd, probably straight A's, a quiet kid. His home life was probably perfect. If anyone, it should be Danny going to school half an hour early, if only to try to finish last minute homework. He put his head on his hand, and rummaged through his backpack. Oh well. If he had to be here, may as well work on math.

Andrew, meanwhile, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. Hm, so he was working on math, was he? At least he was using his time wisely, instead of playing with technological trinkets as he probably normally would. That was probably what had been damaged, yesterday. A silly little bauble, like he had seen Fenton's friend messing with. Well, good. That meant it wasn't worth much. He took a closer look at the work, and held back a smirk. Ah, well, he supposed he should at least help him along. After all, it wouldn't do him any good to have to work with someone who didn't know basic algebra. "You're using the wrong equation."

Danny blinked, looking back at Andrew, who was still reading his book. He hadn't even moved an inch! How could he know the equation Danny was using? "Huh," he said, oh so eloquently.

Andrew sighed, and marked his page, turning in his chair towards him, and pointing at his paper. The problem he was on was kinda tough, having to move things on a graph using equations. "I said you're using the wrong equation. The one you're using would translate it two units up and three to the right, but you want to translate it two units down and three to the left."

Danny stared at the problem, getting a sudden expression as though a cartoon lightbulb just went off over his head. With a free hand, he scratched the back of his head,"Oh, yeah. Forgot this was geometry. Heh. I tend to get this and Pre-Cal mixed up."

It was Andrew's turn to stare at the boy in front of him. That was rather unexpected. "I'm sorry, what? Are you taking Geometry or Pre-Calculus?"

Danny shrugged, as though it were nothing, "Both." He suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking up at him, "Why?" After all, Andrew was his enemy. Who knew what he would do with any of the information he got from him.

He shook his head, slowly going back to his book. "Nothing, nothing." Hm… maybe Danny Fenton was a bigger threat than he had imagined. Either way, he was going to be sure to be careful around the teen.

At one point, people slowly came filing into the class. Valerie being one of them, she wore a confused expression as she came over to Danny, who was sitting in the seat she normally sat in. She stopped, slightly bending over, "Uh, Danny?"

He distractedly waved her away as he did his best to fill in the information for the last problem. Rolling her eyes, she sighed and went to sit in the back. Finally, at exactly 8 am sharp, Lancer walked in the door. He organized his papers, and stood at his desk. "Now, I suppose you all think I'm going to give you time in class to work on your partner projects, don't you?"

Most of the class grinned, nodding at their partner, "Yeah!"

"Well, tough Tolkiens!" They all went wide-eyed, somewhat shrinking back in their seats. First, he would get their hopes up, just to tell them that?! "In college, and even some upper level classes, the teachers will expect to give you a project, and for you to have it done on the due date without any class time to work on it. I was being lenient yesterday, giving you time to regroup with your partners. So, on to Macbeth."

Danny and Andrew scoffed. The class should have expected that. They supposed it was a good thing they had free period together. They glanced at each other, both hoping the other would pull their weight. Danny figured he probably didn't have much to worry about. Andrew, on the other hand… he was less optimistic.

Later, during computer design, he told Tucker of his new plan with the goggles. After having it all explained to him, Tucker grinned, giving him a high five. "Well, I'm glad you didn't let yesterday get you too down, but are you sure this is gonna work? I mean, we would basically have to melt the ectoranium into the metal. We might have to make the metal ourselves!"

Danny grinned at his friend, "Well, then, it's a good thing you have metal shop."

Tucker sighed, moving on to coding his website. They both knew that even if he argued, he'd end up doing it either way. "Yeah, yeah, I get it. Are you at least gonna find a way to make it waterproof?"

He nodded, turning to his own computer. "Oh, yeah, definitely. It shouldn't be that hard, I'll just find a coating I can spray on it, and maybe use something more deflective than glass or plastic for the lenses."

The two grinned at the ideas, and to each other. "Man, if this doesn't rock the socks off your parents, nothing will."

"Yeah… I just gotta make sure it's good."

Tucker clapped him on the back, "You got this, bro."

Danny gave a small smile, putting his headphones on. "Thanks, Tuck.

Eh? Ehhh? I know not much happened in this chapter, but I will try to upload a new one on Monday! I'll do my very best! Pinkie Promise! Alright, I gotta go. Love you lots! Kasena, out!
