Told from Sophia's POV

"Ugh," I groaned as the chilly November wind nipped at my skin. I knew I should've brought a coat, or something to prevent me from getting pneumonia.

Just keep on walking, I told myself.

I almost reached Hell anyways. School wasn't ever much excitement, any normal human being would agree with me as well. The only great part of school was being able to see him.

Danny.

The boy who made it all better. The boy who loved me as much as I loved him. Just thinking about him had me anxious to see him again.

He was my boyfriend. Danny was definitely a keeper, he never got angry with me, or leave me on read whenever I texted him. He's always been there, caring for me. Which explains why I was really fond of him.  I hope he feels that way about me too, though.

I have to be honest, I question whether his love is genuine. I've never really had anyone care so much for me before. It was actually a bit unsettling, thinking if he really didn't love me.

Nah, Danny wasn't like that. 

He surely loves me too.

Being greeted by the staircase in front of a big building that read "Camelot High," I realized I must've been lost in my thoughts a lot longer than I expected.

I walked through the doors, and mentally prepared myself for another day of obnoxious screaming, and terribly boring classes that I had no interest in. But it wouldn't so bad with Danny by my side. 

Speaking of him, I was really anxious to go find him. I searched through the crowds of students in the hallway, hoping to see him in the flood of people.

I spotted him in the middle, and I think he was searching for me too. I pushed through the crowds, trying to reach them. Why were there so many people here? There were plenty of other schools in this area, yet everyone bunched up into this little hell-of-a-school. 

Pushing my thoughts aside, I finally reached Danny.

He threw his arms around me, and I responded by putting my arms around his torso and hugging him tightly. He kissed me on my forehead, making me flush red.

"Hi Sophia," He greeted warmly, with a dimpled smile on his face. Danny was a tall boy, with light blonde hair and icy blue eyes that made me melt every time he looked at me with them. Danny was a sensitive person, he reminded me of a puppy dog whenever he seemed disappointed or sad. Which hurts me a lot whenever he is. I can't stand seeing him like that, ever. It doesn't happen very often though. Danny was very well-liked in school. He was like a social butterfly, who always made friends around the school.

"Hi, my sweet prince!" I greeted back. He ran his fingers through my hair, before kissing me on the lips, making my face redden even more. He smiled, still holding me, and ignoring me blushing. I knew he liked it when I called him that. I mean, who wouldn't?

"Ugh. Can you two go take your little love fest somewhere else?" Groaned a voice. It was non other than Julian Moreau. A social outcast, who hated couples. He's probably never been in a relationship. He's probably never been loved before, what a jealous loser. 

"Sorry, erm, we didn't mean to upset you" Danny apologized, raising an eyebrow. Julian just ignored his response, made a face, and walked away. We walked off, too, into the depths of the school, just waiting until the bell rang so we could start the day.

"That was kinda rude of him. Don't ya think? He shouldn't tell people what to do and what not to do," I scowled, looking back to make sure Julian was out of sight.

"Yeah, but maybe he's just annoyed by something. He probably didn't mean to sound rude, plus Julian's been a nice guy to me so far." Danny sighed, looking back at me.

"He's just jealous. That's all. Just jealous of our relationship." I replied indignantly, as we brushed past the crowd of students.

"That could be it too, he could be jealous of what we have, and how we care about each other. Did I ever tell you that I love you, by the way, Sophia?" He said sweetly, looking over at me again.

"Everyday," I said, as my mouth curved into a smile. It was true, he did tell me he loved me everyday. "And I'm glad, I've never had someone care about me so much. I love you too," I continued.

Danny laced his fingers with mine, as we kept walking, our fingers now intertwined. He really did love me.

I know he's being genuine, I just know it. He wouldn't betray me, I thought to myself.

I loved him, and he loved me.

I loved Danny.
