Chapter 2

      I feel like I'm gonna throw up. Everyone is looking at me. Oh God. Definitely gonna puke. I get up and run to the bathroom. I open one of the stalls and hover over the toilet, but nothing comes out. I sit on the floor with my head in my hands. I start crying and for what feels like forever I hear someone coming in. 

    "Danny! Are you in here?', I hear someone calling. I know it isn't Ethan, though I wish it was. I peek my head out the door of the stall to see Stiles. He sees me and I hide again. "Danny! Oh thank God! Are you okay?", he asks relived. I nod and he comes over to the stall and pulls me out. "Well good, because Jackson isn't.". I look at him confused. His isn't okay? What about me. "Yeah, he's pretty rough. Looked like a broken nose, busted lip. Oh and his hair looked like shit.".

   "Wait! What??? Did someone hit him???", I ask. Stiles nods. "And they actually got a punch in?", I add. Stiles starts explaining how after I had left Ethan got up and practically beat the shit out of him... for me. I smile a little a get all giggly.

   "So yeah, Ethan got pissed that Jackson would do that to you. I guess he really likes you.", Stiles says smirking. He winks at me. Gross. I shake my head and walk out of the bathroom.  I turn the corners and make my way to my locker. I put in my combination 8-9-0-1. I open it  and put in my books. I forgot I left Isabelle in here but she seems perfectly fine. The bell for my last class sounds. I missed 5th period! Oh well. Time for some science! I walk in and take my seat. Ethan comes in a little after with some blood on his shirt. Probably Jacksons. I laugh to myself and look down at my notebook. I hear the teacher tell him that he can sit anywhere he pleases.

   Although I don't look up I still notice him walking towards me. He puts his bag down on the table and sits down next to me. I don't look up or even acknowledge that he's there. That is until I feel him hand on my shoulder. I finally give in and look up at him. Although I wish I hadn't. I see tears trying desperately to escape his eyes. He looks down again. "I'm sorry Danny", he says. I close my eyes and put my head in my hands. "Danny, look at me. I don't give two tiny shits if you're gay, That Jackson bitch is a bitch who needs kicked in the balls! He's jealous of our friendship and who can play him?", he says. I smile a little and the teacher comes in.

   "Class, that's Ethan. Blah- blah. Danny is your partner you will be working on this project that I am about to explain to you all with him. Kay? Wonderful", Ms. White says. She goes in to detail about the assignment and I write it all down. After she's done the final bell rings. I get up and sling my bag over my shoulder and walk with Ethan down to my locker. He opens his locker smoothly on the first try. Damn.

   After he gets everything we say goodbye and part our ways. I know it's crazy, but I think I maybe actually falling for the boy I just met.
