WHITEHART

DANIEL HAS TEMPERAMENTAL ISSUES.

Monday was a lot worse for everyone in the house. We all rushed out of Amy's house to attend classes, taking painkillers in one hand and coffee cups in another from Cammy's on our way to school. Daniel looked at me from time to time with the corner of his eyes, expecting me to burst out any moment but when he realized that I wont be mentioning anything about last night, he started to relax. He said he'll see me later. I don't know what exactly he meant by Later because I had not seen him since we got into the school campus. Amber was in her usual hangover mood. She would get annoyed if anyone spoke to her. I had bought her a pack of sugary donuts and she looked quite okay by the lunch time. Ethan sat cuddling her on our table.

"Where is your lover boy?" I turned back and saw Mathew speaking. 

"What?" I said disgustingly.

"Daniel." He said with a vulgar smirk on his voice.

"He's not my lover boy or something. What the fuck do you need anyway?" I eyed him and went back to eating my lunch.

"Oh? I am sure Ray you were too drunk to notice how hard he's been trying to get into your pants." 

My blood ran down my spine. I stood and turned to him until I saw Daniel already standing next to Mathew. I was burning with anger down my skin.

"Mathew, you need something? " Daniel spoke from his teeth. His muscles were tightened and he looked deadly.

"Man, let's accept it. You are all over her." 

The whole cafeteria looked at us with wide eyes. Amber and Ethan who sat at the end of the table were now standing right next to me.

It looked like Daniel was about to land his fist on Mathew but Amber spoke.

"Does it look like any of your business, Mathew? Did Ethan or Daniel ever ask you about how your parents caught you taking drugs and you were thrown out of your house an hour later than that?"

Amber can be a mean bitch if she wants. Mathew looked embarrassed now. He looked around to see how many people had gathered and how many heard Amy speak.

"Well, news about a guy like Daniel flies faster especially if he is getting involved with a girl like Ray, you see." Just then Daniel held him by the collar and took him against the wall and took a swing at him, Mathew  fell on the ground. People roared and then the room got silent. Few boys came and helped Mathew get up. His one eye was bloodshot and watery. I was too shocked to utter a word. Ethan came running towards Daniel and asked him to back off.

"Next time you say anything about her, I'll rip your head off, Motherf..." He shouted over Ethan's shoulder.

"Maybe, you should know where she belongs." Mathew spoke again. Daniel got so mad that Ethan had to grab him by his waist and asked Mathew to leave before he asked for his death wish. Mathew just kept looking at Daniel and hurried away. Daniel looked at me for few seconds, grabbed his bag and left. Ethan said following him would be a bad idea for now.

Again, I was too shocked to utter a word.

The whole day had passed on and I didn't see Daniel anywhere. Tammy and his friends looked upset too.

I stayed the night at Amy's place but she didn't speak to me either. Next day morning I was too annoyed to ride my bike so I sat in Ethan's car who had come to pick Amy. As I entered my economics class, I see Daniel sitting in the middle of the class. As soon as I saw him, He winked at me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him clearly showing my annoyance.

"I got transfered." 

"Really?" 

"Yeah, see I have got the letter." He showed me an envelop which had his name written on it.

"Whatever." I moved ahead and sat on the last seat. Daniel came and sat beside me.

"Ray, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have behaved like that. I have temperamental issues."

"Okay." I said without looking at him. Even though it was wrong but I wasn't really mad at him for hitting Mathew. I was mad for another reason.

"All you say is a small okay?"

"What do you expect? You hit someone and run off for the whole day and you want me to be sympathetic about it?"

"Ray, I got shifted to your class, I thought you would be happy about it."

"I'm happy, but I'm bit surprised."

"Uh-huh. Good surprise or bad?" Daniel smiled and elbowed me. 

"What do you think?" I smiled wide back at him and looked in his eyes.

"Aw, baby. Don't be so cute." He then messed my hair.

"Ugh, Daniel no!" I called his name in disgrace and tried to reset my hair while Daniel chuckled and the whole class looked at us as if we were two new love toys of the school until Mr. Tender entered the class. The students turned their head away and Daniel sat next to me with a smile on his face.

In the middle of the class, Daniel handed me a small paper plane, I opened it.

come for dinner w me 2night.

I looked at him and shook my head in disagreement. He handed me another note.

WHAY!? :( :( :( 

There was a lot of sad smilies till the end of the note.

on 1 condition

I wrote back and handed him the note. When Daniel read the note he mouthed "What" to me.

You won't hit anyone for no reason. 

He rolled his eyes as he read the note and nodded.

"I'll try." Daniel spoke in my ears and planted a small kiss on my cheeks as soon as Mr.Tender turned towards the wall.

I looked at him with angry eyes but he was too busy winking at me as I felt more flushed every passing second.This boy is going to trouble me and my heart a lot.
