Picture of Greyson! :)

Dan's POV

At the end of the school day I hopped into the passenger seat of Amanda's car because she promised to drive me to service. Sunnyside Elementary school was only a five minute walk away from the high school but I was feeling lazy and nervous. I didn't know how these next couple of hours would go between Greyson and I but I hoped I could at least manage to get through them peacefully. This was about helping children not about whatever stupid issues Greyson had with me.

"I'll pick you up and you can tell me how things went, okay?" Amanda says as we pull up into the parking lot.

"Kay." I say not really knowing how to feel. I mean, a part of me was excited because I would get to see Greyson but another part of me felt anxious because I was convinced that he'd completely freeze me out again.

I got out of the car and walked into the bright red brick building. Inside the walls were painted orange and yellow the color of a pretty sunset.

"How may I help you?" A tall, young, and good looking male receptionist greeted me. He had perfectly coiffed light brown hair and black hipster glasses that brought out his amazingly green eyes. He was dressed up in a white button down shirt and black pants. He looked as if he modeled office wear for a living.

"My name is Daniel Connors. This is my first day of volunteering for tutoring."

"Oh aren't you adorable! I love seeing all of the new high school volunteers. It brings back memories of when I was in high school." He says smiling at me.

"It couldn't have been that long ago. You seem really young."

"I am. I'm only 24." He states. 

"My name is Christian Stevens. But you can call me Chris."He gets up and shakes my hand. "The class you'll be tutoring in is room 11.  Your partner is already in there. I'll be right here. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything." He says winking at me.

I blush crimson. This guy was openly flirting with me. "Thanks Chris." I say awkwardly turning and walking towards the direction he indicated.

I enter room 11 to find Greyson sitting at one of the tables helping a blonde kid wearing glasses with his homework.

He looks up as I enter the room. "Hey guys I would like everyone to meet my sidekick Daniel Connors."

My brain went into shock. He just acknowledged my existence and he knew my last name. Also sidekick?

Just then a small little kid with insanely blonde hair, glasses, and a gap toothed smile ran up to me and grabbed my hand.

"Grey told us that he was a super hero and that you were his sidekick, is that true?"

I couldn't help but smile at him. He was so cute. "Yeah it's true." I say still completely perplexed but going along with the story.

Greyson stood up. "Alright now that my partner is here does anyone else have any homework?"

"I do! I do! I do!" The group of kids all screamed in unison.

"Well let's all get started on it and Daniel and I will be around to help each of you."

I sat down at a table with the blonde kid, that I found out was named Justin as all of the other kids scrambled to a table taking out their workbooks and starting their homework.

Surprisingly, Greyson sat down next to me. As in closely next to me. "Superhero Dan. Can you help me with this problem?" Justin said frowning at the paper in front of him.
