how to avoid a topic

Daniels POV

Time had flown past since the unfortunate accident in the woods. Thanks to Honer I finally knew the complete story about what happened, with a few adjustments and additions from Nate. The strangest thing had been happening around here though.

Honey seems full of confidence now and managed to begrudgingly forgive Nathan, who apologized so much that people have actually started to beg Honer to just forgive him already. Not only Honor has changed but Nathan has gone on some peace mission to apologize to everyone and anyone who has ever been hurt or offended by him. A week of his constant apologizing and he's only got a few hundred more people to go.

Oliver eventually told me why he had been so glum and I had felt more guilt than angry towards him. Ollie had loved Nathan so much and I felt horrible that I had come in between them, BUT I have done some thinking as well and I decided that from now on I'll man up and face the world as it is.

Starting with my feelings for Nathan. I like Nathan, a lot. I know he's supposed to be this big mean player, which in truth he is or was, but I couldn't help but feel attracted to him. My feelings hadn't wavered through this whole ordeal. Yes he was an incredible fish face with a mouth three times the size of his heart but I have decided to change that. 

I didn't need to feel upset for Honor anymore since I'm pretty sure my brother likes him and if I know Honeré even a little bit then he will like my brother as well. I hope from the bottom of my heart that they work out together. And if they hurt each other, I will kick both their booties!

Ollie is a whole different story, I knew he was heartbroken about the situation between Nathan and me, but he had also smacked my head and basically told me to just give into my feelings and make 'that beast boy' my man already.

Today would be my first day at school since the thing, I honestly don't know how to call it, and miss Gardenia, the infirmary witch, said I had to take it slow. I had been bored out of my mind and couldn't help but feel excited for starting school again. I had missed about a weeks worth of classes and I dreaded all the work I would have to do to catch up, but anything's better than staying in the stupid infirmary, it's so boring there!

To top it off it was Monday, I hate Mondays, plus my brother had decided to stick around and 'watch over me'. I knew he just wanted to stay close to Honer, that stupid idiot of a brother was completely wrapped around Honer's dainty little finger. Although he did deserve a little love coming his way though, so it's fine.

I rolled out of my bed and made my way to the shower. I opened the door and immediately gave the most unmanly squeak I could have possibly mustered. My idiot brother was standing there... naked... brushing his teeth... with my toothbrush!

"Stupid fish-brain you scared me to death!", yes that's right I can be mean too!

However my brother started laughing, really hard too. He rinsed his mouth, threw a towel around his waist and ruffled my hair before lazily sauntering out of my bathroom.

I had totally forgotten that Tate was staying in my room until Friday since I had only come back from the infirmary last night. I grumbled a bit before hopping in the shower and lathered my body in my favorite soap, it smelled like honey and flowers and I totally loved it (god that sounded gay). I started humming some random tunes and felt a lot better when I eventually came out of the shower.

I had washed my hair and noticed that it was getting longer again I'm surprised that I haven't been mistaken for a girl yet, oh well. I quickly went through my morning routine and made my way into my room, to my closet. I picked out a grey v-neck and put on my dark blue jeans paired with loosely tied brown boat shoe's.

As I walked in I saw Tate holding a picture frame in his hand, somehow I knew which one it was without having to look (picture at the top/beginning). I rushed over and snatched it from his hands. I took a glance at it and I knew what would come next but before Tate could even try to say something, I threw the photo on my bed and grabbed Tate's face.

"Don't even try to say what you were going to say! Don't even think it! It wasn't your fault, it was nobody's and I know how frustrating that is but you will just have to accept it. He might have been my actual older brother but you are more my family than he ever was", Tate opened his mouth to say something but instead just gave me a big hug and chuckled.

"Since when did my little ditsy brother become such a smart ass?", I hugged him back and soon we were both laughing.

We broke out of our amusement went we heard a few loud noises from outside the door. I sneaked over and swiftly opened the door. It had been no surprise to see three guys barreling in.

Apparently they had been listening in on the conversation or at least leaning against the door, the only one who remained standing calmly as ever was Cuan, standing just outside the door with his phone in his hand as he was laughing at Ollie, Nate and Honey all sprawled out on the floor.

"Well do come in guys. How nice of you to knock.", I sassed as Tate began to laugh and Cuan was holding his stomach almost crying at the look of the guys being scolded by the most non-intimidating guy of the whole school.. me.

They all looked like they regretted eavesdropping so I just giggled at them and told them it was alright. Tate rushed over to help Honeré to his feet while I helped up Ollie. Nathan had stood up by himself and Cuan had sat down on my bed because he was having cramps from laughing so hard.

Wait.. my bed.. the photo! I quickly spun around, but of course I had the worst luck and Cuan was already holding the picture and looking at it confused.

"You know, it's not nice to snoop, cancan. That picture is family business so give it back.", we don't really talk about what happened in the past and Tate knew I wasn't ready to talk about him.

"Easy there fish boy, I'm just looking. Is that you Danny? You're so small!", I blushed and grabbed the picture from him.

After putting it away in my drawer and locking it, I turned around and put on a cheerful smile. Tate gave me a worried glance but I just ignored that and grabbed my book bag.

"Now then, let's go learn stuff!", I heard Nathan and Honer groan but Oliver just giggled and nodded his head, somehow Cuan didn't seem as distracted as the rest and gave me a quick once over before nodding. With that we walked out of the dorm and all got into our cars, motor's etc. I quickly hopped on the back of Tate's motor and we were off to school.
