As I throw my bag over my shoulders I stop and say "goodbye" as I hop onto the motorcycle and head towards Valley Ridge.
November 1st, 2017, 6:46pm
It's been 16 hours since I left Greendale, stopping only to get gas and snacks, but I've finally made it. I pull into a bar and head for the bathroom still holding onto my backpack. I change into an AC/DC cut up crop top, some black jeans, and a pair of combat boots. Once I'm done I walk out and sit at the counter.
"Can I get a beer?" I say confidently
"Coming right up ma'am" replied the bartender not thinking to question my age. I may be 17, but I am a teenage after all with access to a fake Id card. My friends and I would always try to go clubbing every Saturday to have a little fun and we'd always be the hook up for the high school keg parties. Plus, if you look act act confident without over doing it, they sure as hell wouldn't think to question it, especially if they're busy.
As I turn around to view my surroundings I see a select few people glaring at me.
"Catch" said the bartender as he slid me my drink down the bar. I catch it instinctively, "Thanks" I replied, then started sipping it. About 5 tall, yet drunken men all with different features, walk up behind me offering to buy me a drink. "No thanks boys, I'm not going to be here long" I responded sharply. I set my empty glass down as I walk out of the bar.
As I'm walking out, I cant help but start thinking about Trisha and the friends I left back home. 'Stop thinking so hard Danny' I think as I shake my head ferociously side to side. I head for a hotel and take the nicest room they have with the money I brought, room 217. When I open the door I throw my bag on the couch, take out my green contacts and plunge onto the bed. While I'm laying there, my eyes start to get droopy as I fall asleep.
5:26am the next day
I wake up checking the time and jump into the shower. When I step out I go over to grab my bag pulling out some underwear, ripped up skinny jeans, my high heel combat boots, and an off the shoulder grey crop top sweater. After I get done getting dressed, I walk into the bathroom to straighten my hair and put in my green contacts, then I head out the door towards the academy building.
When I arrive it's already 6:58am so I head to the side of the building and wait for it to open. As I am waiting I hear people beating someone up behind the school. Curious as to how I hear them I stand there but there's no time to waste, I need to help that kid so I rush towards them. "Stop! Sto...p i...t-t p-please!" Said the kid being beaten up. He looked around my age, a little scrawny but cute nonetheless. When I get there I pull the boys off the kid and push them to the side as I help him up.
"Th-th-thanks" said the kid still in fear. "What the hell do you think your doing?!" Said one of the boys in anger. "What does it look like dumb ass? I'm helping this kid up" I respond proudly. The boy looks at me in anger and grunts then walks away towards the entrance with the rest of his crew.
"Thank you. My name is Kevin by the way."
"Nice to meet you Kevin, my name is Danny." I say while giving him a slight smile.
"Do you go to this school Danny?" He tilts his head.
"Yes, I'm a transfer so I'm new."
"That explains why you don't have a uniform. Do you wanna walk inside together? I can show you where the office is?"
"That would be great" I respond.
Kevin walks inside towards the office with me following close behind. It's already 7:13am and everyone is still in the halls wondering around, some even glancing at me with curiosity or disgust.
Kevin opens the office door for me then walks in. "Thanks again Danny for the help." Said Kevin. "Anytime, and thank you for your help too." I respond. "Hahaha, anytime" Kevin smiles then heads out of the office.
Meanwhile back in Greendale Colorado....
Jessica, Tag, and Bryan are all walking towards my house when they see the police officers. They look at each other in shock before rushing back to Jessica's place. Tag turns on the tv to see if what's going on will be on the news. They all sit on the couch and watch together.
*17 year old girl with the name of Daniella Nicole Reed has went missing. She is said to be a dangerous individual who is suspected of possible murder and is now wanted for questioning. Local Orphanage owner Trisha Corvello had been found dead in her home of what looks like an animal attack. If you know the whereabouts of Daniella or have any information regarding the murder investigation please call this number, XXX-XXX-XXXX.*
"Oh my god! No, Danny!" Said Jessica in a sad voice with her hands covering her face.
Back in Valley Ridge...
After sitting in the office for an hour filling out paperwork, I finally receive my schedule and start heading for my first class. When I arrive, I stop at the door before stepping inside to see a short old lady with lots of grey and faint black hairs like it was covered over with box dye at one point. Giving a small nod, I glace over the class before going to take the only available seat in the back of the room. I can feel eyes on me as I try to ignore them.
"Everyone, we have a new student with us today. She's a transfer from Colorado by the name of Danny. Danny? Would you like to introduce yourself." Said Mrs. Stanford. I gave a quick head shake. "Alrighty then" replied Mrs. Stanford, "lets continue on with this weeks assignments."
15 minutes pass, as Math class is now over I head for my locker. When I find it I open it up and throw my books in. "Hey new girl!" Yelled a boy down the hall.
