Chapter 6

Dan's P.O.V

Dan sighed as he walked to his third period, no one really talked to him the first two periods but he didn't really mind that.

He opened the classroom door, and walked in looking for an empty seat and immediately sitting down in the first one he sees which was one in the back.

He set his backpack down, opening it and pulling out a notebook with a pencil, he heard foot steps approach him seeing dark skinny jeans with black converse high tops, his eyes look up to a girl with red hair, freckles covered her porcelain face, her hair was down and frizzy, she smiled at him.

"You're in my seat" she says to me

Dan immediately starts getting up, mumbling apologies.

She laughed, "it's okay you can sit there!! You must be new" she offers her hand "I'm Anna"

"Dan" Dan states and slowly took her hand and shook it.

She sits down next to my seat, "How's your first day going so far??" She asks "probably terrible, this school is pretty well, terrible" she chuckled.

Dan nods "Well, yeah"

"I remember my first day here freshman year. That was hell, at lunch I tripped and spilled my drink all over one of my new friends, she didn't talk to me much after, she was pretty cute too, what a shame" she kept the same warm and inviting smile.

Dan chuckled "That would be my luck"

"Well it's mine, I'm pretty clumsy"

"Same. Once I was on a school trip, I was walking with this pretty girl and I got really distracted and ran into one of the glass containers that held the rare artifacts, almost breaking it" Dan explains, remembering the story so well he could almost feel the emotions again like the day it happened.

She giggled, as the bell rang for class to start.

"It would be terrible for us to be together, probably would somehow catch the whole school on fire by sixth period"

"True" Dan Agrees.

Soon class started and the teacher shushed them both.

Anna smiled at Dan one last time before turning around to face the board.

During the rest of the class they talked about pretty much everything Dan learning they had the same taste in books, music, and movies, they got along pretty well.

He walked with her out of class, "What's your next class?" She asks looking up at him.

"English and then lunch" Dan answers her, pulling out his schedule making sure he was right.

She leaned towards him, looking at it.

"Yeah, we got a few classes together" she says happily, "I will be your tour guide so now you don't have to be lonely, you're welcome" she laughed.

Dan chuckles as they walk to English together.

The rest of the day Dan and Anna walked all around the school, learning about the people there and more about eachother.

After school, Dan was walking out of the school building. He grabbed his earbuds sticking them in his ears putting his music on random.

He saw two guys crowding over a smaller one, taking out an earbud he watched the exchange.

"I don't have the money right now, I'm sorry I promise I'll get it by tomorrow" the clearly frightened smaller boy spoke.

"You know what happens to people who break promises" one of the bigger boys says and looks over at the even bigger one.

The bigger one pushed the smaller boy harshly causing him to drop his stuff and fall.

The two boys walked off leaving him.

Dan knew he had two options, go help the boy, or go back to his old ways and walk off.

Dan began to walk off and put his earbud back in when he heard a "hey, you're Anna's new friend right?"

"So close" Dan muttered to himself and turned back around walking to the boy, nodding and leaned down grabbing one of his books as the brown haired boy was getting up.

He handed it to him, The guy mumbled a thank you, "I'm Chris" he introduces himself. Dan just nods, "Dan." He states

"So what did those guys want, if I were you, I wouldn't have taken that" Dan says.

Chris was quiet for a moment before answering "Oh them, I uh just borrowed money from them and never paid them back" he says.

Dan didn't believe it, but he also didn't really care, so he just nods.

"So how are you liking the school?" Chris asks walking with Dan.

Dan shrugs, "It's alright."

"Ah, let me guess you didn't want to move here"

Dan looks at him, "Really? what makes it obvious??" He says sarcastically and turns back to the road.

"Just the expression on your face, it screams I hate my parents for moving me here, or you just have a resting bitch face"

Dan looks back at him in shock, "I do not have a resting bitch face?!"

"Yep, it's the first one" Chris chuckles

Dan looked back forward not saying another word.

"Well, I understand this isn't the most exciting town" he says still walking beside Dan.

Dan nods in agreement as he continued to stare forward as he walked.

Dan was getting closer to his house, The Chris guy still walking beside him, "Do you have a home or?" Dan asks

"Yeah, just down the road" Chris answers

"Well this is my stop so.." Dan says slowly as they approached his house.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow" Chris answers with a smile.

Dan just waves bye not saying another word, walking down his driveway and into his house.

He knew his mother won't be here till later so he just throws his bag on the couch, and plops right next to it.

Dan started to feel suddenly really tired,
Like he was drained, even though he didn't do that much today. He closed his eyes, quickly falling asleep.

I haven't updated since like Christmas... I have an explanation I promise,

I've been in this funk where I haven't want to do anything for the past six months, including school work, writing, anything.

But I'm back now, better than ever

Also I know this is a boring filler chapter but don't worry things are going to get better soon :)

Love you guys so much
