I woke up with Daniel's body intertwined with mine. I breathed in his aftershave and tried to wriggle out of his grasp. I couldn't believe I was now his "late night booty call". He honestly disgusted me and I started to feel that way about myself, I wasn't doing anything to prevent it from happening. Even though I had my reasons they just didn't sound good enough to my conscious.

I attempted to climb out of bed silently but he tightened his arms around me in protest.

"Just five more minutes, darling," he groaned.

"No, we're going to be late. And stop calling me darling!" I hated it when he called me that. People would think it was affectionate, that we were a couple when we were far from it. The way he said it was also kind of creepy. He only tried to noise me up 24/7.

"Ahh, but you have to do whatever I ask, remember," he gave me a smirk, his eyes still closed and cockiness easily detected in his tone. I gave a sigh of frustration and reluctantly laid back down.

He wrapped me in his arms and the feel of him made me sick. I always thought I would wake up in the arms of the man I loved, oh how dreams are far from reality. How wrong fairy tales are claiming everyone can find their Prince Charming, I wished I lived in a world where that was true.

Daniel was snoring behind me within minutes and I got up getting dressed, tip-toeing without interruption, leaving Daniel asleep in my bed.

He was going to be pissed when he woke up with me gone. I refused however, to miss school because of that jerk! I wanted badly to see my friends, so see my friends is what I would do.

I missed the bus by ten minutes. "Asshole," I muttered under my breath. Now I have to walk twenty minutes because of that ass, Daniel.

I walked in half way through my first period history class. Scottie's face lit up when he saw me, he was obviously bored. I could t blame him, Mr Burns knew how to put a raging bull to sleep.

"'What up, Scottster?"

"Nothing but I have a feeling my day just got better," he grinned.

"Heck yeah. I'm here aren't I?" I asked, waving a hand, gesturing to myself.

Scottie and I ended up serving lunchtime detention with Mr Burns. He had enough with our slacking and goofing off and us making him look like an idiot in class didn't help either. My waltzing in half way through his class sealed our fate though.

"Hey, Scottster." I whisper yelled.

"Lou, 'tis a great honour to serve detention with you," he joked.

"Yeah, talking to me is such a thrill. Anyway, don't you think Mr Burns looks like the blow-fish from Finding Nemo?"

"Lou, what is it with you and that movie, seriously," he said laughing and shaking his head at me.

"I'm actually serious. Answer my question," I scalded. I was actually quite proud of myself for my skillful use of imagination. He honestly did look like him though. I could imagine him blowing up with spikes when he got mad.

"I see no resemblance." Scottie said shaking his head.

"Whatever, Scottie. You just don't have imagination or spunk," I teased sticking my tongue out at him.

"Hey, I have spunk," he said laughing and feigning hurt.

"Not as much as me."

"No talking in detention!" Mr Burns shouted.

Both Scottie and I burst out laughing. He sure as hell could see the resemblance between him and that fish now.

Since we were "delinquents" who did not benefit from serving a detention, Mr Burns let us go to lunch for the last twenty minutes. He breathed out a sigh of relief when we were out the door, which made us laugh all the more.

I grabbed a cupcake from the counter filled with food and made my way to our table. I finally got my cupcake and I was more than delighted.

I walked into Daniel on my way and like I predicted, he was seriously pissed. I instinctively hid my cupcake from his view, I didn't want to lose another one. I couldn't help but laugh at his expression.

"You think it's funny? Leaving me in your apartment alone making me late for school?"

"Hey, buddy, you were the one who said "just five more minutes, darling."" I did my best impression of his deep voice but it just didn't work. I ended up laughing at myself.

"You know what. Deals off. Find your money someplace else," he spat.

My grin faded and my heart sank. I needed that money.

"No, Daniel, please. You don't understand, I need that money," I begged.

"Well, you're not holding up your end of the bargain, so I have no choice."

"I swear, I'll do everything you ask. Please," I hung on his arm as he started to walk away.

"And will you complain?" He asked raising an eyebrow, turning his head to face me.

I sighed. "No, I won't complain."

"Okay then. I'm gonna take off, how about a goodbye kiss?" He grinned cockily at me.

"Oh, no pal. I don't-," he cut me off, holding up a finger.

"What happened to no complaining?" I groaned internally. I went onto my tiptoes to give him a peck on his cheek but he turned his head so my lips crashed onto his.

He trailed his tongue along the bottom of my lip, I kept my mouth clamped shut.

"Not a way to convince me to pay your rent, darling," he said against my lips.

I immediately opened my mouth letting his tongue collide with mine. He kissed me passionately, taking my hands and wrapping them round his neck. His hands travelled to rest on my ass and I stiffened, but didn't complain, I needed that money. I kept telling myself, just a few more seconds and it'll all be over.

He pulled away after what felt like forever and I scowled at him.

"See you later...darling," he said seductively. I swallowed the bile that rose in my throat, I hated that guy.

I joined the guys sitting down, wishing the ground would swallow me. I knew they all saw that along with more than two thirds of the school's population.

I glanced up to see Scottie looking after Daniel, glaring, if looks could kill I thought.

"What was that about?" Paula asked eyeing my suspiciously, she knew how much I resented Daniel.

"Please, don't say anything. I'll explain everything later," I whispered.

I couldn't keep anything from Paula, nothing.

The rest of our group questioned me about Daniel and my PDA but I dismissed them all.

I really hated Daniel. I've read books where girls fall in love with the guys they hate, that there's a thin line between love and hate but all I felt was hate, and I would never love Daniel, I didn't even like him. At all.
