That'll Be The Day

Chapter 4

They weren't lying. At least one of them stayed with me the rest of the day. Although, I haven't seen Dani. I stared at the clock in detention, waiting for the second hand to get to the 12. I just have 30 more seconds... "Okay, you can go." The teacher packed up her stuff. I grinned and put my homework away, getting up. I didn't mind detention. I don't know why people hate it. I got almost, if not all, my homework done. There were just about five people in detention. They all walked out and I soon followed, stopping when I saw Dani leaning against the lockers. Is she here to talk to me? Duh, why else would she be here this late?

"Dani..."

"Can I walk you home?" She pushed herself off the locker, walking over.

"Umm... Yeah, I guess." I smiled softly and walked out the front doors with her.

"Thank you... For what you did." I looked over at her and rose an eyebrow. "For standing up for me. You could have gotten hurt. I hope you didn't." She frowned, stopping me and studying my face.

I softly giggled. "I didn't get hurt, Dani. I have too quick of reflexes, you know that. Besides, I wouldn't let my best friend get hurt." I bit my lip. "We are still best friends, right?"

She stared in my eyes, hurt flashing through her eyes but disappearing as quick as it appeared. "Yes, best friends." She smiled and let me go. "Thanks for returning my hoody, by the way."

"I kinda figured you'd want it back." I looked down, remembering her hurt face after she kissed me in the kitchen.

Her hand traced down my arm slowly, a shiver running through my body. "You're shivering, and you feel cold." She frowned. You did that on purpose. "Here, take my hoody again."

"Dani—" I groaned as she had already slipped off her hoody, putting it on me. Last time this happened, it ended badly. I looked in her eyes and could tell she was planning something. This devious little bitch. She just smiled a bit, her eyes travelling down my body and back up to my eyes. What happened to the Dani that was scared? I looked around, remembering this area from when she pinned me to the tree yesterday. Oh she better not. I looked back at her and there was a slight smirk on her face. Shit that's hot... But shit I'm in trouble. Her hands trailed up my arms to my shoulders, pushing me until my back hit the tree. "Dani, what are you—Oh my god..." My eyes rolled a bit then closed, Dani kissing at my neck. My knees went weak and she put her hands on my hips, holding me up. "D-Dani..." I could feel her smirk against my neck, softly biting and sucking at it before she pulled away. She lifted the hood of the hoody onto my head, hiding the hickey from anyone. Oh. My. God. Did that just happen? I slowly looked to Dani, who had an innocent look on her face. This fucker. She kept an arm around my waist as we walked, probably to keep me from falling since my knees were still weak. I took a deep breath. "Dani."

"Hmmm?" I could hear the smirk in her voice, my eyes facing the ground. Ugh.

"We... Umm... We're talking about this when we get back to my place." I sighed, not being able to find the words to ask about it now. Not only are my legs jelly, but so is my mind.

"Okay." She giggled.

I took a deep breath and closed my door, turning and leaning against it, looking at Dani. She sat on the edge of my bed, smiling innocently. "Yes, Sammy?"

I rolled my eyes, taking a deep breath. "We need to talk. Seriously."

"Why not come sit next to me?"

"I'm not going near you until you explain." I crossed my arms. She got up and sauntered over, taking my arms and unfolding them. "Dani, you're not getting out of this." She pinned me to the door, her forehead against mine. "Daniella Lee Smith. You kissed me and ran out and now it's like you can't get your hands off of me. As much as I like it, you have to explain what the fuck is going through your mind."

She closed her eyes and sighed, letting go and going back to my bed, sitting on the edge and staring at the floor. "I'm sorry." I crossed my arms. "I... I know I shouldn't have done any of this."

"Huh? Wait, I'm not complaining or anything." I frowned.

She shook her head. "That's not what I meant. I shouldn't have done this without talking to you first. I know you like me. I mean, it's obvious now but I knew before. Or at least I thought. I didn't 100% know until you got into a fight with Jason." I looked down. She knew? Was I that obvious? "And I'm glad I knew. As bad as this sounds, when I was dating Jason, it just felt wrong. But then we'd hang out and I felt... I don't know... But it felt right. And yesterday in class, I know you caught me staring at you. Then on our way home... And I gave you my hoody... Something just clicked and I knew I wanted you instead of Jason."

"And so you pinned me to a tree and tried kissing me."

She softly blushed, smiling. "Yeah. But then you pushed me away."

"Well yeah. I didn't know what you were thinking. Plus, you were still dating Jason."

"And I tried explaining but you kept pushing it off." I shrugged at her. "So when you went to the kitchen, I just had to show you that I meant it."

"So you kissed me. But then you ran off."

She looked down, rubbing the back of her neck. "I saw how surprised you were and took it the wrong way. I'm sorry."

I uncrossed my arms and made my way over to the bed, sitting next to her. "It's okay." I smiled and hugged her. She smiled and hugged back. "But what's with how you were acting earlier?" I let go and looked at her.

She shrugged. "I just... Really wanted you." I laughed and hugged her, my face in the crook of her neck.
