This guy seemed rather nice. Danny was it? His emerald eyes held calmness and he gave off a trusting aura. I gave him a smile in return to the welcome he gave me.
As for the art teacher Mr. Pastel, well he seemed...interesting in his own way. I guess goofy is the new strict, then again it is an art class, it's supposed to be free and creative.
"So you're from (y/ht) huh? " Danny inquired.
"Uh y-yeah great place. I loved the scenery."
You said while scratching the back of your head. Silently scolding yourself for stuttering you tried to make small chat with Danny.
"So Danny, what is your favorite subject?"
He paused for a moment in thought before replying,
"I'd have to go with art, it explains what words cannot, and they almost never give out homework."
"Makes sense, art is a pretty cool subject."
"(Y/n), what's yours?"
"Well...I like every subject to an extent. Like there's certain things I like about each subject. But for math...there's hardly anything I like there, but I like the "person A had two cookies and person B wanted one cookie how many does he have left?" type problems. You know the ones that were easy back in kindergarten, when everything was fun."
"That's understandable."
"So what exactly is everyone working on?"
"Mr. Pastel wants us to enter in the art contest, you know the one on the poster. He wants us to use our potential and reach for the stars so to speak."
"So all we have to do is come up with a piece that holds some type of emotion?"
"It's what it says on the requirements, it doesn't say any other specifics."
"Hmm this seems pretty cool. Although I don't have many ideas at the moment."
"That's fine that's what everyone is doing, they're either working on an idea they have in their minds or they are coming up with ideas. The deadline for an idea is Thursday (it's currently Monday in the story btw)."
For the rest of the period, you and Danny mostly talked, while he wrote the occasional idea in his green notebook. You were finally getting to really know Danny, but all good things must come to an end. Just as you were about to write down an idea, the bell rang signaling that it was time for the next class. In your case, (insert sarcasum here) your favorite class, math.
Before you had a chance to go out the classroom door, Danny called your name and you went back to your table.
"What class do you have next?"
"Uh according to this paper I have math, what about you?"
"No way I have that class too, come on I'll show you where it is."
You knew where the classroom was thanks to Luke, but you weren't gonna tell Danny that, plus I mean you guys are going to the same place anyway.
The classroom was at the end of the hall before a corner, the hallway you see when you first walk into the school.
Danny sat in the second seat behind the first in the third row of desks from the door.
"You can sit behind me, no one sits there." Danny said with a smile.
"Ok cool, that works." And with that you sat down in your seat. Just then a dark skinned girl, with dark brown straight hair, and brown eyes walked in. She greeted Danny then sat in front of him. You were skeptical of her, she seemed nice but her eyes said she was distracted on something, something she wasn't letting on.
"Oh hey Ava, this is the new girl (y/n)."
At the sound of your name you were knocked of of your thoughts.
"Hi." You said with a slight hand wave.
"Hi, I'm Ava." She replied as she shook your hand. Just then the bell rang, and guess who just had to be in the class with you. None other than Flash Thompson.
"Oh great, just~ perfect." You mumbled. Of all the guys you hated, Flash was making himself go up the ranks extremely fast. Danny turned to see you surrounded by a dark purple aura. (If you know this anime reference tell me in the comments ^)^)
"Is everything okay?" He put a hand on your shoulder. Out of instinct you grabbed his wrist and twisted. Ava was too interested in what the teacher was saying, and taking notes to notice. Realizing you mistake, you released his wrist immediately, and blushed.
"Danny I am soooo sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"Ms. (Y/Ln), is there something you'd like to tell the class?"
"No sir."
"Then please be quiet while I'm teaching, it's your first day so I'll let you off with a warning."
Flash could be heard with his friends in the back snickering and fist bumping. You caught part of their conversation and heard "Freak," and "Deserves more than a warning". Something told you, they weren't talking about your new friends. Flash ripped a page out of his notebook, and crumpled it up. Your eyes were on the board but an image played in your head of what was about to happen. Flash through the paper at your head and as it was about to come close, you turned and caught it. Danny watched out of the corner of his eye, and smiled at flashes attempt.
You thought to yourself, "Ha! Like heck they're gonna mess with me like that."
But that's when the teacher turned to see you standing up, about to chuck the paper at Flash.
"Ms.(y/Ln)! Detention after school!"
Great your first day and you already got detention. As the teacher went back to teaching, Ava turned and whispered, "Don't worry, it's not that bad." She said sympathetically.
"Ava, would like to acompany her? Because you now have detention too!"
"Grrrr...." Ava said as she rested her head on her desk.
After what seemed like forever, the class ended. As you walked out of the classroom, you saw a brown haired boy being harassed by Flash, no surprise.
"Hey Parker! It's locker knocker time!"
You had two options; be a hero and save him from the torment, or continue walking away. Your eyes widened and suddenly you saw what was going to happen if you didn't intervene, the boy was gonna get punched and then shoved into a locker. You couldn't just stand there, so you stalked over to Flash and pushed him away from the boy.
"Leave him alone Flash! I've had just about enough of you!"
"Prepare for a world of hurting pipsqueak!"
You grabbed his shirt collar as he was brining his fist back, about to punch you. Then suddenly a hand grabbed Flash's fist. Principal Coulson. "Flash, you weren't going to hurt any of these people were you?" He said calmly. Flash's forehead started to sweat.
"Uh n-no Principal Coulson."
"No? Then get to lunch!" Coulson replied more sternly. Coulson then walked away.
"You kids all right?" Janitor Stan asked.
At the same time you and the boy replied, "Yeah, I'm fine." You turned to look at the boy you defended. He was just above the average height, had brown eyes (that seemed to hold a story...), and seemed scrawny, but was actually well built underneath. How you knew that, you didn't know. You could tell he was kind.
"Hey thanks for what you did back there, you didn't have to do that."
"No problem, I hate to see when people get bullied. I'm (y/n) by the way." You said as you extended your hand.
"Peter, Peter Parker." He said skating your hand.
"Hey Parker, where ya been?" Sam said as he put his arm around Peter's shoulder.
"You coming to lunch or what? I don't know about you guys but I'm starving." Luke replied.
"Well not all of us are like pigs and eat everything in sight." Ava walked up and playfully rolled her eyes with a smile.
"Hey guys, I was just thanking (y/n) for defending me."
"Oh, the new girl, yeah not the first time she told Flash off today." Sam said with a laugh.
"Yeah she's got spirit." Like chimed in.
"Finally another girl who sees that Flash is a jerk, and not a stud muffin." Ava said fist bumping you. "Hey anyone seen Danny?" Like asked and then smirked. You were confused until you turned. "Boo." Danny said, which caused you to jump. "Don't do that." You laughed and playfully hit his shoulder.
"Hey (y/n), since you're new do you want to sit at our table for lunch?" Danny asked.
"Yeah sure, that'd be great." You said with a genuine smile. As they walked to the cafeteria, you went to your locker to grab your lunch. You didn't know what type of food the school sold, but school food is usually gross, so you packed a lunch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey sorry guys for the long wait. I know some of you have waited forever for this, so I finally found a good spot to take off after writers block. I'll try to update more often, but midterms are coming up this week for my school and it's gonna be brutal.
Until next time,
