Dying Flame (Daniel Skye)

2: Meeting Him

Kayla's P.O.V

Me and Jessica got there early. I started walking down the hall when I see Mr. Trumer. "Kayla, hat off." He says. "Mr. Trumer read the shirt." I reply and the boy next to him laughs.

"This is the new kid. Don't talk to him." He tells me. "Will it bother you if I did?" I ask. "Yes." He answers. "Hi, I'm Kayla." I say with a smile whirling sticking my hand out. The boy laughs again. His laugj is kinda cute.

"I'm Daniel." The guys says as we shake hands. "Oh great." Mr. Trumer says and I laugh. "Mr. Trumer." I say and he smiles. I give my favorite teacher and hug and a big smile. "How you holding you up?"

"Pretty good. Just moved into the new house. First time I actually see my parents in a long time." I answer. "Well, you know where to find me." He says and I nod with a smile. Mr. Trumer acts like a dad to me.

He's pretty cool. The bell rings and I put my board down. "Gotta go." I say as I ride the penny board. "Kayla!" He yells and I stop at my locker. I laugh as I put my backpack in there. I then see someone walk up to me and I look at them.

"Do you think you can show me to class?" He asked. It was that Daniel kid. "Uh sure." I answer looking at his schedule. "We have the same 1st period together. You'll hate it! Mrs. Hillary had this annoying country accent."

He laughs as I put my penny board in my locker. I grab math book and we walk walk off together. I sit in my regular seat next to Hayes and signal Daniel to sit in front of me.

"Alright Cass let's get started." Mrs. Hillary says. Daniel looks back at me and covers his ears. I laugh a little and give him an 'I told you' look. Hayes looks over at me. "Who's the new kid?" Hayes asked.

"Daniel." I reply. Jessica sits in front of Hayes and looks back at us. "She's hurting my ears." Jessica's says. "You and me both sister!" I say and the 3 of us laugh. "Kayla, Hayes, and Jessica!"

We all look up at her and cross our hands. "Yes?" I say. She gives me a look. "If 2b+4= 18 what does b=?" She asked.

"3 because 2+4=6 and 6×3=18." I answer. I fist pump Hayes and Mrs. Hillary smiles. "Correct!" As always!

It was now lunch time and I sat with Hayes and Jessica, as always. "Hey." I hear from behind me and I turn around.

"Mind If I sit with you guys?" Daniel asked. "You guys okay with it?" I ask them. "Heck yeah! We need another guy in this group." Hayes says as Jessica nods.

"Guess that answers your question." I reply as Daniel sits next me. Hayes and Jessica were sitting across from us. "Did anyone else get one of these?" I ask showing them the dance flyer.

"Yeah, like everyone." Jessica says. I give her a look and Daniel looks at it. "I didn't." He says. "Well, that's different. Your new!" Jessica says and I laugh. "This is Jessica and that's Hayes." I say pointing to one than the other.

We all talk and hang until lunch was over. "We are all going over to Kayla's house to help her decorate room if you want to come." Hayes says.

"Oh yeah, you should come. It'll be fun." I add. "Uh I'll have to ask but I'll totally be there." He replies. "Here," I say grabbing his phone and putting my number in it. "I'll text you the address."

He nods with a smile and we all go our separate ways.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just got home from school and as always no one is here. Mom and dad are always working or doing something more important than being here for me. Daniel probably won't ever meet them.

You can't meet people that are never around.

Daniel's P.O.V

"I'm leaving!" I call out to my mom. "Alright, have fun." My mom says before kissing my cheek. I smile and walk off. "Be home by 7 for dinner!" She calls out as I open the door. "I wouldn't miss it!" I yell back. I then slam the door closed so she knows I'm gone and doesn't keep talking.

Kayla walks home from school, as do I so I just decided to walk. I mean she can't live that far away of she walks home. I text her,

'Hey, it's Daniel. Where am I heading too?'

I lock my phone and just walk down the street as I wait for a reply.

Kayla's P.O.V

I was in my room sitting on floor with Hayes. Daniel and Jessica haven't got here yet. My phone then dings and I look at it. It was Daniel he was asking for my address.

I text him back then lock my phone. "Well, while we're waiting, can we at least paint the wall?" I ask and Hayes laugh.

"Fine." He replies and we walk out of my room. We bring in all the brushes and Hayes gives me a shirt that he brought of his. You know, a shirt you can get messy in.

We start to paint this one wall pink. I grab some paint and then put it on Hayes's neck. "Kayla!" He yells and the doorbell rings. "Welp, gotta go." I say running downstairs.

I ran up to the door and see Daniel. "Hey." I say. "I'm gonna kill you." Hayes yells as he goes to tackle me. "Hayes, stop!" I yell as he puts paint on the side of my cheek. "I hate you!" I say with a laugh.

Daniel just stood there staring at us. I wonder what he's thinking.

Daniel's P.O.V

Oh yeah, these are definitely my group of friends!
