As everyone was leaving the classroom, not knowing what to do with 10 free minutes before lunch, Danny was pacing around, chatting with Daniela.

-Danny, don't forget it, you have to break up with Sam- Daniela said with a sad tone.

-Yeah, I know, it's just… it's just that I really love her-

-Yes, I know, but it's not the kind of love for a mate, it's more like a sister's kind of love, like the one you have with Jazz-

-Ahm, I guess you're right, but even so… WOAH!- Danny began to say but was taken by the shirt and thrown against the lockers.

-LISTEN Fenturd! We're now lab partners, either we like it or not, so this is the deal, as Mrs. Sanders make tests for every experiment, you and I will have study sessions, is that understood?- Dash was the one making all the fuzz.

-OW!- Danny said as he was rubbing the back of his head with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes to look at Dash -Why do you want studying sessions?- he asked.

-Didn't you hear Mrs. Sanders? If one of us fails, the other fails too. I'm not that good in Chemistry, so it's for your own good too- Dash explained with his arms crossed.

-Yeah, that's true. But why the sudden interest in learning chemistry?- Danny asked again.

-That's none of your business!- Dash answered annoyed.

-Come on, if we want to be fair partners, at least we have to trust each other- Danny explained.

-Ok. But if you tell anyone about this Fentoast, I swear…-Dash tried to threat Danny, but he interrupted him with his own arms crossed, looking straight at Dash's eyes- I won't tell anyone-

-Fine… Sigh, the thing is… if I fail a test…, a single test, I won't be able to play the next football game- Dash explained, looking at the floor.

-And. Is that so important to you?-

-HELL YEAH! Football is not just my favorite sport, it's the only thing where I'm not just good, I'm excellent…-

-That and bullying smaller kids- Danny interrupted.

-Yeah, that too, and it's pretty funny- Dash said as cracking his knuckles, and Danny gulped- ok Fentina I have a proposal for you, if you help me to pass every single test in Chemistry, I won't bully you or your friends for the semester, and I tell the other to don't do it either. Do we have a deal?-

-I don't know Dash. How can I trust you? How can I trust your friends? Besides you are hiding something, it can't be just for a football game?

-Sigh… ok. The thing is that I have unfinished business with a player of the team of the next game-

-The next game? Isn't it against the Canterlot colts?-

-Yes! That one, wow! For someone who doesn't care about sports, you're well informed. Yes, this guy Jacob, they call him "Bulk Biceps", the bastard knocked me out the last time we played, and we lost for 21 points. I want to settle scores with the jerk.-

-Mmm… I think that's fair enough, but there's still something else, I can see it-

-Sigh, you won't let it go until I tell you everything, right?- Danny nodded slowly- Fine, the mayor reason is that if I don't play, I won't get the college headhunters attention, and I won't get the sports scholarship I need to go to the college I want- Dash explained in defeat.

-Mmm… It's that so. Very well Dash, we have a deal, but if at some point in the semester, you or your friends bully me or my friends in any, and I mean ANY WAY possible, the deal is off, ok?- Danny said extending his hand. Dash struggled a little, but shook hands with Danny, sealing the deal.

Rrriiiiingggg! LUNCHTIME.

-Finally, I'm starving.-Danny said as he headed to the cafeteria, leaving Dash behind, as he joined his football teammates to tell them the "good news".

As Danny was walking, a girl passed him running like there's no tomorrow to the cafeteria- TACO TUESDAY!- The girl yelled.

-Woah! She really must like tacos- Danny thought to himself. Then, other two girls passed him, trying to reach they´re friend.

-SONATA! WAIT FOR US! Damn her and her taco obsession.-One of them said.

-Why is she our friend Addagio?- the other asked.- I really don't know it anymore Aria- the first one answered as they got into the cafeteria.

Danny got into the cafeteria and went straight for his lunch, he didn't pay much attention at what he was picking, because he was thinking about how to break up with Sam.-How am I going to do this?- He thought.

-Why don't you go for the "It's not you, it's me" thing?-Daniela suggested.

-That's the lamest excuse ever, and everyone know that if someone tells that, of course that the problem is "you" and not "me"- Danny answered sternly. -Ok, ok, geez. I'm just trying to help you- Daniela claimed.

Danny went to his usual table with his friends, but there was only Sam waiting for him.- Hi Sam, Where's Tucker?- Danny asked as he took a seat next to Sam.

-I asked him to leave us alone Danny, we need to talk- Sam answered.

-Is this going to where I think is going?- Daniela asked.

-I don't know, maybe-Danny answered her.

-What's going on Sam?- Danny asked his girlfriend.

-The thing is Danny…, Sigh… That I need time, It's not you, it's me, this mess with Paulina will make me mad, and I don't want to blow off that steam with you and…- Danny cut her off.

-That's bullshit Sam, the thing about Paulina is just an excuse, what's going on? Tell me the truth, please- Danny told her.

-Ok, here's the truth, I'm sorry Danny, it's just that… well… Uhm… We get along pretty well but… Uhm, How can I say it?-

-Just say it Sam, take a deep breath and let it go out of your chest.- Danny told her while he took her hands in his.

-Fine, here I go- She took a deep breath- I love you, that's for sure, but I don't love you in that way, I love you as my best friend. Besides, when we kiss or make out, I feel like, oh this is very embarrassing… Sigh… I feel like I'm kissing another girl, it's very awkward. I don't know why, but that's how I feel when I kiss you, and that's not right, right?- Sam let out everything she had in her mind.

Danny was stuck in his place, both eyes and mouth open wide, he gulped after a minute or two- Umh, do you really feel that way when we make out?- Danny asked.

-Yeah! It is very weird. I'm sorry Danny, but we still can be best friends, right?- Sam asked rubbing Danny's hands with hers.

-Well, it hurts Sam, but I think your right, now that I think of it…-

-Yeah, "now that you think of it"-Daniela said in Danny's mind, and he did his best to ignore her.

-…we're so best friends that being a couple didn't work for us. Of course we are still friends; I love you as a sister. How about one last good bye kiss?- He told her.

-Yeah sure!- She said as leaned for that kiss. They both kissed on the lips for a good minute and separated, holding hands.

-Did you really feel that as a girl to girl kiss?- Danny asked lastly, smiling at her.

-Yes Danny, I'm sorry, but that's exactly how it felt- She answered nodding and smiling at him.

-Crap! Just checking- Danny said as if it was a game.

Both of them finished their lunch chatting about this and that, not feeling bad about their break up, they're best friends after all.

The bell rang announcing that the lunch break was over, and they took out to their respective classes.

Sam met up with Tucker in biology.

-Did you break up with him?-

-Yes, I did-

-How did he take it?-

-Pretty well actually, we're best friends after all-

-Yeah, so that means…?-

-Yeah, it means that now we can be together Tuck, but give me some mourning time, ok?-

-Fine…- after a minute- Was that enough time?-

-Haha! No, how about a week?-

-I don't know if I can wait another week without you.-

-Well, you'll have to, it would be very awkward and strange if I get another boyfriend when I just broke up with the last one ten minutes ago. Even more if said new boyfriend is the last boyfriend's best friend. Don't you think?-

-Fair enough- he said pouting- But ONE week and that's all; got it?-

-haha, got it, one single week-

Danny was on his way to American History class.

-That wasn't so hard? Was it?- Daniela asked.

-No, it wasn't, because SHE BROKE UP WITH ME, instead of me breaking up with her.- Danny said as a matter of fact.

-Details, details. But now that that's finally settled, we can move on with our plans-

-Yes! You're right about that, jeje-

He got into his American History class just in time.

-Ok class, this time we're going to do something different- Mr. Atkins announced.

-What's with the teachers today? Why do they keep doing "something different" in classes?- Danny asked confused.

-I have no idea Danny-
