What Daniel said resulted in me getting little to no sleep that night. It doesn't help that I have no patience whatsoever so I was incredibly eager to see what he was planning.

I wanted to go to sleep so I quickly checked the time but saw that it was already 7AM.

"Shit" I mumbled to myself. I dragged myself out of bed and got dressed. I tied my hair into a messy bun and put on some light make up to try and make myself not look dead inside.

By the time I was finished getting ready, I still had juts over an hour until I had to be at school so I made the smart decision to drive to Starbucks and get coffee because it was only 10 minutes away so it would waste some time. I called Daniel to see if he wanted anything however he didn't answer and instead I got a message form him.

Daniel - "Why did you call me? You know I don't talk"
Katie - "Sorry Daniel, I'm tired and I forgot"
Daniel - "It's fine. Why were you calling anyway"
Katie -"Oh yeah. I'm away to go to Starbucks, do you want anything?"
Daniel - "Yeah, would you be able to pick me up? I live really close to you haha"
Katie - "Yeah of course! I'll see you in a few minutes"

We sat in Starbucks and there was a weird tension between Daniel and I. It almost felt like we were on a date which to be honest, I really wouldn't mind. I just wish I could get him to talk. In fact, i'm determined to get him to talk. Even if it's only one word, I juts want to know what his voice sounds like.

I looked at my phone and saw that it was already 9:15.
"Shit!" I mumbled. Daniel looked at me with a concerned look on his face.
"We're really late for school. Would your parents be cool if you didn't go in" he shrugged is shoulders then nodded his head.
"Ok cool"

We made our way back to my car and I texted my Dad to say that Daniel and I were not going to school.
"What should we do then?" he shrugged his shoulders and took his phone out again.
"Cinema?" he texted me.
"Sure!" I replied a bit to enthusiastically.

It took awhile to get there but we blasted music the whole way and it was actually pretty fun. Daniel seemed to enjoy it to considering he was laughing and smiling the whole way there and basically never took his eyes off me.

When we finally got there, we bought tickets and popcorn and made our way to the back of the room. We were the only people there which really wasn't a surprise as it was 11AM on a Tuesday.

I'm not going to lie, the movie was pretty bad and I could tell Daniel was bored of it. I began to slowly doze off and I rested my head on his shoulder and I could feel him wrap his arm around me just before I fell asleep. I didn't fall asleep for long though, I never do. I woke up about 20 minutes later to Daniel looking down at me and playing with my hair which he had taken out of the messy bun. I turned around to face him and looked straight into his eyes.
"Hi-" I started to say softly but before I could even finish, Daniel's soft lips were against mine which did take me by surprise at first but I kissed him back before even thinking twice. I pulled away a few seconds later and went back to the position I was in before.

"I love you Daniel" I whispered and he kissed my head.

-------------------------------------------

We got back to my house about an hour and a half later because we left the movie early. Daniel and I were snuggling in my bed and I got a message from one of my old friends, Jack.

Jack - "Hey, why aren't you at school?"
Katie - "Hi, I just didn't feel like going in to be honest. Why are you texting me anyway? We haven't talked in almost a year"
Jack - "I miss hanging out with you, Katie. I don't like the new guys I'm friends with. They are really disrespectful and i miss the friendship that we had"
Katie - "I miss you too honestly. Come to my house, Daniel's here but i'm sure he won't mind you being here"
Jack - "Daniel?"
Katie - "The new kid?"
Jack - "Ohhhh, I'll be there in about 15 minutes"
Katie - "Ok, bye"

I realised that I probably should have asked Daniel before I told Jack to come over but I guess I got too excited.

"Hey, my friend Jack is away to come over. He will be here in about 15 minutes" I said to him, noticing his smile fade away and made the same face he made before he met my Dad.
"Don't worry, you were fine with my Dad remember? And plus, Jack is probably one of the nicest guys at our school. We just haven't talked in awhile, that's all"
He hugged tightly to the point were I thought I couldn't breathe. "Besides, what's the worse that could happen?" He giggled a little and I pulled away from the hug.
"You're so cute, you know that right?" I said raising an eyebrow. Daniel's cheeks went bright red and it was probably the most adorable thing I've ever seen.

Eventually, I heard my doorbell ring and I ran downstairs to answer it and Daniel followed and stood behind me.
"Heyyy!" Jack almost yelled.
"Hi Jack!" I quickly hugged him and let him come inside.
"You must be Daniel! It's nice to finally meet you" He smiled and jack then hugged him quickly.

We spent the rest of the afternoon talking and before we knew it, my Dad arrived home from work which meant we were talking for a good 5 hours.

"Oh hey Jack, I haven't seen you in ages" my dad said to which Jack just laughed.
"I better go, my Mum will want me back anyway" Jack said as he stood up and made his way to the door. Daniel and I followed him.
"Tell the girls is said hi" I said as he walked away.
"I will, bye!" he yelled from down the street.
