Bobby's POV

“Who are you calling?” Jimmy whispered to him while Johnny was sleeping.

“Daniel” Bobby replies.

“I'm going to ask him if he can at least try talking to Johnny” Bobby adds.

“Are you sure that's going to work?” Tommy asks.

“Yeah, what if Daniel's just like, ‘No dude, I'm never talking to Johnny ever again’ or something?” Dutch chimed in.

Tommy punches him on the arm.

“Not helping, man” grumbles Tommy.

“Ok guys, shut up I'm calling Daniel” Bobby warns.

The phone rings for a few minutes, and then Daniel picks up.

“Hello..?” Daniel answers.

“Hey Daniel” Bobby greets.

“I know it might be weird of me to call you, but I think you need to hear this” Bobby adds.

“Um, ok, what's up?”

“Daniel, can you please talk to Johnny? I know you guys had a fight, but it was just a huge misunderstanding. If you give him a chance to speak, then I genuinely think you guys would be able to make up and—”

Suddenly, the line went dead.

“Daniel? Daniel”

“He hung up on me, great!” Bobby mutters.

“That's tough” Dutch laughs.

“Shut the fuck up Dutch”

Daniel's POV

“Daniel, why did you hang up?” Jessica questions.

“I don't know; Bobby was talking a lot, and  then he said something about making up, and I… I just don't know what to do” Daniel sniffles.

“Awww, Daniel”

“I just can't see him right now. I don't know when I'll be ready, but I can't” Daniel sniffles.

“We understand, Daniel; there is no need to rush” comfort Ali.

——They lock up and leave the school——

Johnny's POV

Johnny feels himself getting shaken and gets up.

“What the fuck? Why did you wake me up” Johnny asks, clearly irritated.

“ ‘cause you have to get ready to go to school” Jimmy tells him.

“School? What am I? A kid?” Johnny argued.

“You're not, though I think you have the brain of one” Tommy jokes.

“Hey!”

“What he's trying to say is that you have to get ready to go to school because you work there” Bobby explains.

“Ohhhh, right, I get it” Johnny says.

“Yeah, so we'll just—”

“I'm not going” Johnny interrupts.

“What do you mean you're not going?” puzzles Bobby.

“I mean, I'm not going” Johnny said, emphasising each word.

“But you have to” Tommy faltered.

“Yeah, if we all have to go to that shithole, you do too” Dutch mutters.
