Opposites Attract {Janiel}

Chapter 5

~Daniel's POV~

I can't believe they were so opening to me. I was expecting shyness, nervousness, and stuff around that area, but they were completely welcoming to a idiot like me. I snap out of my thought and sit right back down at the table with Sawyer. "Wow that was a long bathroom trip!" He laughs. "Yeah. Long line." I say, sitting down. We all continue to eat.

Sawyer drops me off at my house. I wave goodbye and head into my house. I walk in and run up to my room and quietly close the door. I take my shirt off and put on a pair of comfortable shorts on and I head to bed.

I groan at the sound of my alarm clock in the morning. I sleepily shut it off and I quickly get dressed, putting a plaid shirt on and some jeans. I pour some cereal, quickly eat it, and I wait outside for the bus. I check my phone and I look around. No one's outside yet. I guess I'm a little early today. I go back on my phone when I hear a door in the distance. I check around me. No one's outside. I squint to see far down the street, and I see a little dot. I squint some more to see. I can't figure out the person, so I just look back down on my phone.

I see the bus in the distance, picking up house to house, so I put my backpack on and I walk closer to the road. The bus pulls up to my house and I hop on. I look around for a seat and I see the kid I sat with on the bus last time. I sit into the seat with him again. This time he looks at me. I recognize the face. It's the boy I sat with at the restaurant. Sawyer's main victim.  "Hi!" He said, smiling. "Hi!"  replied, smiling. "You actually talked to me this time!" I laugh and he laughs. "Haha yeah, sorry about that!" He responds. "No problem. I'd hide from me too" I laugh. "I never caught your name I ask." I say, then realizing how anxious I sounded. "Joey. Joey Graceffa." He replies. "You probably know mine, since Sawyer yells my name like I'm a dog." I say and he giggles. Our bus pulls up to the school. "Well, it was nice chatting with you!" I say. He nods. "You too!" I hop off the bus and Joey runs to his friends waiting for him near the entrance.

~Joey's POV~

I run off the bus to Tyler, Connor, and Troye. "Hey! I'm so sorry I wasn't on the bus I-" Tyler begins and I cut him off. "Thank you for no being on the bus." I thank him, and they all look at me confused. "Last time I wasn't on the bus you hated me, what makes this different?" Tyler asks. "Daniel sat next to me!" I squeal. They all have a surprised look on their face. "That's exactly what happened last time and you still hated me!" Tyler laughs. "But we actually talked! He's much more dreamier up close." I giggle. They all smile and shake their heads, and we head off into school.

~Daniel's POV~

I close my locker and turn around to be surrounded by Sawyer and his friends. "Wow you guys are like ninjas." I breathe out. No response. "Tough crowd." I laugh. They know something. "Welp, I should be going now I gotta-" I begin to walk off and Sawyer stops me. "Why were you sitting with Joey Gracefturd on the bus?" He asks. "First of all, his name is Graceffa." I correct him. "And I can sit with whomever I want." I respond, with no hesitation. Sawyer's friends gasp, and I look over at Sawyer, who has an annoyed expression on his face. "You WILL stop talking to him. He's a geek, a nobody, and you are the coolest guy in school. Don't ruin our reputation." He spits. "I think you already ruined mine" I reply back. Sawyer growls and walks away. I just stood up to Sawyer. I actually did it. Now, I'm afraid to see what he has in store for me.
