Jim & Danny CH- 2

"Really?" Jumper's voice asked when he learned from Catherine's mouth that his own brother came to sent Daniel off this morning.

"Uh..um, I went to look for you but then you had already left your house. So your mom then asked P'Jim to send me off. Well, Brother Jim was going out to the shop as well," Daniel replied. Jumper teasingly rubbed his shoulder against Danny's.

"How are you? Did you have a conversation with P'Jim? " Jumper asked his best friend. Daniel forced a smile and shook his head cause when Jump asked him about Jim, the image of Jim kissing a girl popped up in his mind again. Daniel's face darkened before sighing heavily. Together they entered the classroom. During the class hours Daniel remained distracted and couldn't focus on the studies. Because he kept on thinking about what Jim would talk to him in the evening.

. . .. . . . . . .

"Danny, there's a senior here to talk to you." Benny's voice rang out as he walked up to Daniel, who was eating snacks with Catherine and Brian.

"Who are you talking about?" Daniel asked, confused.

"I don't know either. There, he's standing there. In A white shirt." Benny pointed at the tall young man standing under a tree far enough away.

"Ah, that's Peter, the captain of our school's basketball team, " said Catherine, a discerning woman. Daniel immediately turned to look at his friend's face.

"Do you know him Kat?" Daniel asked back.

"Oh, Brother Peter is famous too. The girls follow him a lot too, " Catherine said with a laugh.

"Why would you wonder, Danny? There's Nobody Kat doesn't know. You know the whole school, right?" Brian teased jokingly before being hammered by Catherine.

"And what will he talk to me about? I don't even know him at all," Daniel said timidly.

"I'm sure he's going to tell you he loves you, " Brian assumed.

"Yes, I think so too, " Catherine agreed immediately.

"That's..crazy, how can he like me?" Daniel hurriedly objected to his friends' words.

"Come on, don't ask me anything now. If you want to know, go and talk to him. He's been waiting for a long time, hurry up." Benny hurriedly pulled Daniel up to go to the tall young man.

"But, " Daniel retorted.

"Come on, don't be afraid. We'll be watching all the time, " Katherine reassured Daniel. Daniel looked at all his friends sitting there except Jump who went to meet Disco. Everyone nodded at Daniel to encourage him. Daniel sighed lightly before walking towards the tall young man who had been waiting for a while. Daniel walked over nervously while the other party smiled broadly

"Hey! Daniel," the young man who was waiting greeted.

"Uh... yes, brother. . uh." Daniel couldn't remember the other person's name, even though his friend had just told him a moment ago.

"My name is Peter, " replied the tall man.

"Oh, yes. Peter, do you have any business to discuss with me? " Daniel asked immediately. Peter smiled slightly with Daniel's nervous expression.

"Yes. . I'm giving it to you, " said Peter, handing over a large white rose that he held behind his back. 

"You are giving me... a rose?" Daniel asked in confusion. Peter raised his other hand to scratch the nape of his neck.

"Bro... uh... how should I tell you? Sigh... well. . I like You, Daniel. Will you go out with me?" Peter said bluntly after hesitating for a minute trying to phrase what to say. Daniel stood stunned hearing what the tall senior said. He didn't think the other party would actually confess his feelings to him as his friends assumed earlier.
