Final hours of school day

All three have made it out of the building. Bus stop is a 5 minute walk for the both of them. Danny has taken the easy way for himself. Doesn't have to walk all the way for the bus, could just wait for his sister to pick him up.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow bro." Danny hugs Amy and gives Joe a bro fist. Before they both part ways with him. Leaving Danny, all by himself with other students around.

It's already past school time, Jen should have been there by now. Waiting for her to come pick up and not keep him waiting in the school. A lot of students there start passing by him. Not even pushing him to make him fall off the ground. Something Danny thought would have happened to him in this kind of situation. But nothing happened. It all remained the same. All loud, observing people talking to their friends or even going into the cars of other students for a good hang out or party they probably set up...

Hugged by someone behind, Danny shooked. Frozen by the feeling someone else touching him. Turning his head behind, someone he doesn't even want to think about at the moment. The one that shook him. "Hey man. I missed you." Looking at his face, bruised, with small cuts and black left eye. He's got beaten like a pulp by someone. Pissing a strong, big person off to give him those disgusting, horrifying wounds on his face. Looking down, he sees stains of blood on his shirt. Making him concerned, about himself for the minute.

"Tom, what the hell happened to you?" Tom doesn't care. He doesn't even bother to explain what happened to him. "The hell happened to me!! What happened to me is that I miss you man. God, it's good that it's us again after the school day. Without those... two dickheads in our way." Assholes, that's what he calls them. This insults Danny in any way. They don't even have the personality or the looks of an asshole.

"Yeah... yeah I know. They're gone now." He removes Tom's arms away from him, allowing him to let go of holding him.

"So... what will you do now man?" Still looking good enough for trust to build onto him. Nothing more.

"I'm just going home. Just wanting to..." Tom looks at him, a big grin on his face. Giving him the creeps. "To do my homework." Tom laughs before putting his hands onto Danny's shoulder. Tapping it.

"That is great. You know what, maybe I can come to your house." Not wanting him at all. Hell, he's using the homework thing as an excuse to escape him. Wanting to spend time with Jen after a long day of school.

"It's okay Tom. I got my sister with me. So everything will be good."

"Ahh I see. But you know what, if I do want to come with you, which I still want to today, you should let your big sister Jen know about it." What! How did he know his sister's name. Danny may have hung out with Tom but he only said the word 'sister' but he never gave out her full name. He only gives out the name of his sister to people he trusts. And despite the best time they had yesterday, Danny didn't really explain a lot about himself. Tom would interrupt him all the time to talk more about himself. If what he has said about himself is right.

It's getting more creepy, Danny turns his head around, with Tom, talking in the background, not really paying attention to what Tom is actually saying. He keeps looking at the road. Waiting for his own escape. "Danny. Man you ok?" Danny runs out from his trance, returning himself back to the real word. "Yes I'm okay." Smiling, nervously. Hiding how he's truly feeling at the moment.

"Danny. It would be great if I went with you. I could even pop by your house at any time." Even more creeped out, he doesn't know if has told Tom about where he lives. Which house he stays in. Nor the address name. "Tom, I really should get going, I'm going to... I'm going to umm... call my sister, check up on where she is."

From the moment he's about to get his phone from his pocket, Tom, looking at him, like he has seen someone, someone he imagines would be the person he could be with for the rest of his life, no longer alone. Smiles, turning into something more, a smile he would give him, one Danny would find it hard to interpret. As he grabs his arms. Tightly. Uncomfortable. Feeling it, before slowly looking down onto where that feeling is, he starts struggling with his breathing. Unable to comprehend with what's happening to him from the moment it happens.

"Tom, I think you should let go... uhh." Smiling, his grin, more wider.

"What... am I making you comfortable? Am I making you happy in this city?" Danny tries to do something to make him let go of him. Saying words. But he keeps repeating. "Do I make you happy? Am I good enough for you and your big, beautiful, SISTER!!!" Tears starts to come out of his eyes. He's not letting go...

A car stops, next to where Danny and Tom are. Danny distracted by what's happening...

A car horn. Small sound, beeping at him. Getting both boy's attention. The car window opens, revealing to be Jen.

"Hey Danny."

"Hey Jen." In a nervous, shaken tone. He can still feel Tom's arm, into his own, touching him. Firstly, went hard, now going softly. Jen looks at him, next to her little brother.

Tom looks at her, moving his lips for a small moment before letting himself smile. "Hi, you must be Jen. Danny's big sister." Jen looks at him. Kindly responding to him, "Yes, that's right." Tom, appreciating the response.

Danny, putting his phone back into his pocket. "Tom... can you..." Tom looks at where Danny is pointing his eyes at. Seeing this, "Oh, I see." He lets go. Making Danny feel relieved it's gone, not before rushing to the other side of the car door. "I'll see you tomorrow Tom."

Tom smiles at the both of them as Jen drives off. Seeing them driving off, he runs to where they're going. "I'll see you soon. Very soon my friend." He said as he continues putting his attention onto the car. Driving off. Danny looks at Tom, noticing him rushing towards them before stopping. Unsure how he's feeling right now as he puts himself back into the front. Getting his attention to the front of the road. Jen looks at him for a few seconds, before doing the same thing to get themselves back home. Safely.
