Stalked

Chapter 1

Danny was huffing and huffing up the flight of stairs, his body was soaking wet and he had a towel wrapped around his waist. He kept on slipping on the tile floor. It was hard to run, it was like trying to run in quick sand. He stopped to catch his breath and held it when he heard another boy grunting up the stairs chasing Danny. Danny couldn't run anymore, he wanted to surrender. But he didn't really want to give up now...

Who was chasing him exactly? Oh yes, Danny remembered. It's Casey June. Who else would be chasing him.

The minute Danny got to the very top, Casey was closing in on him. Danny tried to remember what he was doing before Casey started to chase him. It was so hard to remember. Danny looked around wildly, finding another flight of stairs but this time it was going down, he practically jumped and slid down them. He found two doors leading to a girls washroom and a boys. He ran into the boys and raced through. Suprised to find the Janitor moping the floors, Danny pushed past him. He heard the door to the bathroom open and then bang shut.  

Please, please. Danny wished for another door to be there. There was another door just like Danny wished. He burst through it and found Casey on the other side of the door.

Danny popped up. It was only a dream, only a dream. Thank god.

"Danny, slow down," Danny's mom said as she walked in the kitchen.

"I'm going to be late," Danny reached for another bagel and loaded it with butter. Just the way he liked it.

"Come on Danny," His mom stopped and looked at him, "Slow down," She stood there watching him. Danny looked up at his mom and seen the worried look on her face. He slowed his chewing.

"Thank you," She set down her coffee mug and poured in some fresh brewed coffee.

Danny looked down at his bagel and quietly ate.

"Your so quiet this morning, did you have a good nights sleep?" His mom sat down in front of him and stirred the thick brown liquid. Danny listened to the clanging of the cup. He swallowed and thought of last nights dream. It made him feel sick to his stomach. He knew Casey had a big crush on him. Danny was popular, had sexy brown hair, a killer body, he had many friends and liked to be chased by hundreds of girls. There was only one flaw in his life that was bugging him. And it bugged him something awful.

"Honey is something troubling you? If there is you need to tell me now," His mom pushed her mug away and placed her hand on Danny's. Danny set down his breakfast and pulled his hand away.

"I-i have to get going, bye mom i love you," Danny got up with a distraught look on his face and headed towards the front door. His mom looked so worried that it seemed like she was going to cry.

"Danny! What's up homie!" Dannys friend Jeff Carter held out his hand so Danny could slap it. Bella Rudy -Jeffs girlfriend- came and gave Danny a hug.

"Sup you G kid," Danny gave Jeff a smile and slapped his hand while hugging Bella. Danny smiled even more and shoved his face in Bella's hair. Jeff stood there watching his face going red.  

"Danny," Bella whispered.

"Yes i'm here for you honey," Danny whispered back. He liked to play around with Bella in front of Jeff. Jeff laughed and pulled Bella away. Danny made a 'Why' gesture with his arms.

"Get your own," Jeff stuck out his tongue and kissed Bella. He was making these gross sucking noises. Jeff and Bella went out of focus, Danny looked past them and seen Casey standing there with his three friends watching him. The smiled faded from Danny's face. They looked serious standing there. The dream popped back inside Danny's head. He seen himself running, sliding and looking at Casey's blurred face. It freaked him out. But how can a freak like Casey want to mess with a guy like Danny?

Jeff and Bella were walking off when the bell rung, Danny stood there for a few more minutes watching Casey and his friends. They were watching him back. Waiting for him to move. He took one last look before catching up to Jeff and Bella.

"Dude did you like see those freak shows staring at Danny this morning?" Bella threw her books inside her locker and slammed it shut.

"Who?" Jeff pretended like he didn't know what Bella was talking about.

While Jeff and Bella yapped away Danny scanned the halls. He looked at a group of people who were walking past Danny, he seen Casey among them. Casey was looking at him with a sick twisted grin. Like he wanted to pounce on Danny and rip him to shreds. Danny moved his hair from his face and stared at Casey, who was far ahead. But Danny could still see Casey looking back at him.

Briiiinggg... the loud bell rung, announcing that it was time to head off to first period. Danny didn't like any of his classes. The reason why is because Casey was in all of his periods. Which was incredibly weird. Danny had bio first.

"Okay group, we are going to split up in three today. You don't get to choose the groups i do," Mr. Kramer announced. Some kids groaned at the thought of being split in three, some slept, and some yapped away. A paper airplane flew over some blonde chicks desk and landed on Kylie Moore's head. People cracked up and thought it was funny. Mr. Kramer cleared his throat and told them to settle down.

"Now, Let's see here," He scanned the room, "Ahh Sasha Bers, Lance Mann, and Ty Raant will go together. Daniel Whitehawk, Dexter Cavers, and Casey June..." The words coming out from Mr.Kramer faded.

Danny slumped in his seat. Frightened by what Mr.Kramer had said. He didn't want to be with Casey. The dream seems real. Casey does stalk Danny. Casey stares at Danny and wherever Danny is, Casey is somewhere close behind. Danny tried to remember again what he was doing before he got chased by Casey. It didn't come to him, that part of the dream was still foggy.

Casey scraped and chair and sat right in front of Danny. Looking at him with blank eyes. His face, had a smirk on it. He wouldn't stop staring. To Danny's luck, Dexter, Danny's other buddy stood beside Casey.

"Get out of the chair faggot," Dexter kicked the chair that Casey was sitting on.

"It's a free country Dex," Casey said finally taking his eyes off Danny.

"Don't call me Dex. You know why you have a girl name and a girlie voice? It was because you were born a girl. Right Danny?" Dexter looked at Danny with a huge smile. Casey shot his head to the side to look at Danny again.

Danny stared at Casey with his head tilted to the side, feeling normal again, "True that Dexter," He reached across the table to give Dexter a high five, he was just about to pull it away when Casey grabbed Danny's arm and gripped it. Danny flinched and tryed to pull his arm free.

"Let go of his arm faggot," Dexter said in Casey's ear. When he didn't let go of Danny's arm, Dexter got angry.

"Punk," Dexter pushed Casey off his seat, and he went sprawling on the ground. "Come on hit me bitch."

Casey got up and tryed to punch Dexter in the face. Dexter dodged and sacked Casey in the stomach, knocking the wind out of Casey.

"DEXTER! LEAVE!" Mr.Kramer yelled. The whole classroom was looking at us.

Danny looked at Dexter storming out of the room and then he looked down at Casey, who was clutching his stomach and staring at Danny.
