"Hey Dash! over here!" The familiar voice of his best friend Connor shouted as the blonde got on the school bus.
Connor had short brown hair, hazel eyes, and was wearing an orange shirt, black shorts and white sneakers.
"Hey Connor how was your vacation?" Dash asked, half smiling as he set his bag down.
"oh it was great me and my folks went to Mexico!" He said excitedly.
"Mexico? mustve been fun" Dash said.
"What about you how was your's?' Connor asked.
"well...i got grounded" Dash said.
"oh no im sorry about that" He said.
"no no its ok but we did go Australia" Dash explained.
The Bus journey continued on, they went through most of the closer part of Metroville until they pulled up just outside Junior High.
After getting off the bus, Dash and Connor made their way around the back where no one was in sight in order to get to class early.
It was their usual routine as their two other friends Jessica and Paul would wait for them there, but when Connor was pushed to the floor out of no where, and Dash heard the sounds of two laughing, he knew exactly what was going on.
"what do you guys want?" Dash asked, before a kid with dark blonde hair and sapphire eyes got up in his face and pinned him to the wall.
"your lunch money now!" Brett Swanson demanded as he smirked.
Brett and John were the two bullies that picked on him and the others, Brett being a year older than them whilst John was their age.
Brett was wearing a black shirt that had a skull and crossbones logo on it, some white shorts and sneakers, John had on a green shirt with a lizard logo on their coupled with black shorts and sneakers.
"Dash...just give them your lunch money" Connor said as John pinned him to the ground.
Oh he wanted to fight back so hard, hell his Father would want him to, but he remembered his grounding and decided it was not worth the trouble, he relented and passed Brett his lunch money, watching the floor as the two ran off laughing.
After accompanying Connor to the nurses office after the big cut he got on his hand from Falling over, Dash quickly walked back to class and sat down, his seat being in the middle row in between a brown haired girl with green eyes, and a black haired boy with hazel eyes, this was Jessica and Paul.
"hey where's Connor?" Jessica whispered, she was wearing a purple shirt and grey shorts.
"yeah where is he?" Paul said, him wearing a white t shirt and grey shorts aswell.
"Brett and John took our lunch money...Connor hurt his hand so hes at nurses office" Dash said looking down at the Math book he just got out of his bag.
Jessica and Paul exchanged their each individual looks of concern before moving on.
"oh did you hear...mrs simmons is on maternity leave" Jessica said.
"wait huh?" Dash looked up, "whos our teacher then?" he asked.
"Mr Kropp" Paul said.
Dash's face went pale, his fifth grade teacher who he used to pull pranks on 24/7, he was going to fail math.
Then after speaking of the devil's favorite teacher, the door opened and in stepped a middle aged man with a skinny build, a egg shaped head, brown receding hairline and moustache.
"Alright class my name is Mr Kropp" he got straight to the point.
Pulling out his piece of chalk he began to slap and squeak it across the board, the students cringed as he did this, whilst Dash sat back, used to it at this point.
"One thing i detest, one thing i do not want is GUFF!!" Bernie yapped.
And then he saw him, Dash, Mr Kropp's worst nightmare, he immediately glanced over at his stool to see if a tack had been placed there but there wasnt, after sighing he eyed the young man, before getting back to what he was saying.
After a while Dash had gotten bored of the math work, one of the many ways him and his sister got closer was by her helping him with his math homework, which at first was tedious because it almost always ended in a screaming match but before they knew it the two began to bond, which is why Dash was so good at math now.
But his boredom quickly faded away when the door opened and in stepped Principal Nash, behind him was Amy, who was had a pink backpack slinged up on the side of her arm.
Dash's face lit up and smiled at her, she smiled back as Principal Nash began to introduce her to the class.
"so treat her with respect now..." He ordered whilst Amy sat at the desk infront of Dash.
When the Principal left the room the class resumed, Amy glanced over her shoulder at Dash before Mr Kropp looked her way and she shot back to her normal state.
Time passed and School finished, Dash got the awful announcement from the bus driver that the bus stop they usually stopped at was shut, meaning he would have be forced to walk quite a way back home, with Paul, Connor and Jessica already off, he began to trek home.
"Hey" A familiar voice spoke.
Dash turned to see Amy stood there beside him, he smiled and fist bumped her before she began to walk beside him.
"How was your first day?" Dash asked.
"eh its was meh" She made a funny sound at the end that made Dash laugh.
"Mr Kropp is my most hated teacher" he moaned.
"why?" she asked.
"i used to put thumb tacks on his chair in fifth grade" Dash grinned.
"No way thats hilarious!" Amy chuckled.
"yeah it was but my mom was not happy" Dash reminisced.
An awkward silence fell between the two, Dash did not notice but Amy had the same red tinge that he gotten on his cheeks whenever he was near her.
"oh i forgot to say!" She remembered.
"do you remember that creek in the woods?" Amy asked.
"y...yeah" Dash stuttered, trying his best to hide that he was blushing.
"well i was thinking we could put a rope on one of the trees above it" She smiled.
"what...and like...swing across?" Dash murmured.
"yeah" Amy grinned.
Dash just grinned also, he had always been a sucker for the adrenaline rush.
"but dont we need a rope?" He asked.
"nah that's ok i have one at home...shall we meet tomorrow?" she responded
"yeah same time as last time?" Dash asked.
"yeah!" She said, fortunately enough for them they were closing in on her house, and she ran up her drive before waving at Dash.
Later That Day
The Parr family were sat at the table having dinner.
Helen had cooked Dash's favorite, Spaghetti Bolognese.
As he was tucking into it, he saw his Mom and Dad exchange concerned looks, but nothing happened so he kept on eating.
"So Violet how was school?" Helen asked, glancing over at Violet who was eating her food.
"oh it was great" Violet responded, "is it ok if Tony comes round tomorrow" She asked.
"yeah sure honey" Helen agreed.
"Dash how was your day?" She turned to her son.
"oh it was um...good yeah" Dash smiled, blushing at the thought of Amy, which only Violet seemed to notice.
"Anything happen?" Helen asked, concerned at the wording of his response.
"well...Mr Kropp is my teacher again" Dash cringed.
"who was that? was that...oh" Helen quickly remembered.
Jack Jack was currently being fed by Bob, who was yet again not responsive when it came to Dash.
"Yeah and i get the feeling hes not excited about me being in his class either" Dash winced.
"im not suprised...you did prank him every chance you got!" Violet laughed.
"ay!" The blonde laughed, if this was two years ago he would have fought her for that cutting remark but now he just found it funny.
By now the family had finished eating, and it was Violet's turn to do the dishes as part of her chores.
during this time, an tense silence fell between the family for a moment, Helen and Bob were acting like they were getting ready for something, but Dash did not understand what it was.
But he knew it involved him when Violet came back into the room "Vi you dont mind if you could take your little brother into the other room? me and your father have to talk to Dash" Helen said sternly.
Violet briefly shot Dash a worried look before picking up her three year old brother and walking upstairs to her room.
And that was when they began to talk.
"Dash...your not allowed to participate in Track this term" Helen said, watching as Dash's face dropped.
"w...what?" he mumbled, eyes widened.
"you went over the line in Australia...you need to learn" Bob said.
"wh...but...WHAT?!" He yelped, shooting up onto his feet from the stall.
"dont fight it!" Helen said.
"why not? its not like i almost hurt them people on purpose!" Dash argued.
"but you knew that taking Baron Von Ruthless on like that would cause damage?" Bob demanded.
"well...but yeah" The Blonde boy admitted.
"and you knew we had ordered you to stay with Jack Jack?" His mother asked.
"y...yeah" he sat back on the chair and pouted.
"thats why Dash, you disobeyed our orders and did not listen to us!" Bob growled.
Dash's eyes shot up at his father, the disdain he had in his voice in that one sentence, as if his son wasn't even worth talking to unless he had to be disciplined, at least thats how the boy took it, his father and him had issues since their big argument last February.
"WELL MAYBE IF YOU ACTUALLY TOOK NOTICE OF ME FOR ONCE I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!!!!!" Dash roared, shooting up to his feet yet again and pointing his finger in his fathers direction.
His Parents appeared to be taken aback for a full minute, before Helen stood up out of her seat "Go to your room" She ordered him.
The Boy stood up, with tears in his eyes before he shot up the stairs and into his room, slamming the door behind him.
Helen stared up at the landing for a split second before turning to see Bob, sat there with a look of utter disbelief.
"Honey are you ok?" She frowned, placing a hand on his cheek.
"i know i havent been around lately but...i didnt know that was how he felt..." Bob mumbled.
