delivery girl

Ch. 12

The men, unable to abandon their pride, left with a dramatic flare.

"Since you apologized, we'll give you a break! But I won't forget your faces!" Cat whiskers barked.

"Babe, get up!" The other demanded, and the petite woman dragged herself out of her chair with a sullen expression.

"You rotten youngsters!"

The goons smuggle crossed their arms, 'They just left.'

"Ooh! Daniel! You're the man!"

"Haha!"

"They were crapping their pants!"

"Haha haha."

'What's this?' Daniel wondered, confused.

But his thoughts were interrupted by the excited squeak that Zoe let out.

"(Y/N)! You and I are like, totally besties now! You were so cool!" Zoe babbled, rushing over to the table where she was still sitting.

Zoe reached over the table and grabbed her by the shoulders. "I honestly didn't know you had it in you! You always seem so quiet but you're secretly a total boss!" She continued.

"It was amazing how calm you were the whole time." Crimson chin said dreamily.

"Yeah, you're pretty cool, (L/N)." Doo said cooly.

(Y/N) gave everyone in the room a tight lipped smile, mumbling a quiet "Thanks." Before she placed her hands over Zoe's and gently removed them from her shoulders.

Daniel was still struggling to get himself together, his vision was still blurry and he was uncomfortably warm. 'Ah, the liquor is really kicking in!'

Daniel listened to the group spazz up the story, changing it so they seemed like the 'heroes'.

Why are these guys proud of getting in fights?

Is this fun for them?

Doo placed his hand on Daniel's shoulder.

"Danny! Don't worry about my broken phone! You did the right thing. I'll just steal G-Hole's phone." He said.

Why do they...

" I should have taken nude pictures of those bitches too, haha." Doo laughed, looking up st Daniel.

Harass others with no consideration?

Doo froze when he saw Daniel glaring down at him, the fun atmosphere shriveling up and dying.

"Let go." Daniel demanded.

I got angry.

Alcohol made me a different person.

"You guys having fun? You jerks ever once put yourself in someone else's shoes?" He asked, thinking back to his former bullies.

Alcohol allowed my deepest held thoughts

"Don't look down on me. Do you even know how I feel?"

To come rushing out.

The three goons were confused as hell, while Zoe gave Daniel heart eyes, as usual.

'What's he saying? Who's bugging him?'

"He's right. Don't bother him! You bastards!" Zack agreed, tears still running down his face.

'Ah, he's a pain in the ass! Should we hit him when he's drunk?'

'Ooh, I'm thirsty.' Daniel thought, grabbing the cup (Y/N) had given him earlier off of the table and taking a sip.

'Oh no' He thought, spitting the drink out and spraying it from his mouth for the second time that night.

The group dead panned.

Daniel drunkenly stumbled over to (Y/N), standing over her. 'Oh no, drinking makes me more sleepy.'

"(Y/N), can I please have some more t-" he slurred, 'I'm falling asleep!'

He collapsed with a loud thud,

"Oh Danny!" Zoe cried.

His head would have landed on (Y/N)'s lap, had she not had jumped at the sight of Daniel's much larger form falling towards her, and her efforts to get out of the way in time caused Daniel to hit his head on the table.

In his other body, Daniel jolted awake. 'I fell asleep!'

If one of my other bodies falls asleep, the other wakes up!

'Because it was my their body my mind is crystal clear!' Daniel realized.

He looked back on his drunken actions and blushed in embarrassment before flopping back onto his bed and thrashing around.

'Waaah! What was I doing? I'm never drinking again!'

'I gotta sleep to get to my other body! Can I sleep though? I've been out all day!'

Daniel got into the comfiest position he could manage and was immediately put cold.

Instead of changing bodies, Daniel ended up having a pleasant dream where his past bullies begged for forgiveness, and his mother was rich and he was at the top of his class.

I dreamt for the first time in forever.

'A dream?!'

Daniel's eyes flashed open and put his hand in front of his face. 'My ceiling! My fat hand!'

He sat up to look at the clock hanging on his wall.

'An hour passed? And I slept?! What's going on?'

Daniel began to panic.

'I didn't change! What happened? Was it all a dream? Nah! Did the other body disappear? Why? What is this?'

I was bewildered.

'Is this because of the liquor? Or because I overslept? Or for no reason?'

I always thought this day would come but

'I better make sure it's true!'

The sense of loss was deeper than I predicted.

Daniel rushes to pull on clothes and ran as fast as he could to where his body should have been. He ignored the disgusted looks that he received from the people he passed.

'Please be there!'

And suddenly I was running.

He made his way through the alley, up the stairs, and finally through the doors.

'I made it!'

When he walked through the doors, he was shocked at what he walked in on.

Daniel saw himself laying on the ground, with the group surrounding him.

(Y/N) was closest to his body, swatting Zoe and Zack's hands away from him.

"Stop touching him." She hissed, obviously losing his patience. "We have to keep him on his side in case he throws up." She explained.

"Gross." Zoe whined, scrunching her nose and pulling her hands back, not wanting anything icky to get on her hands.

"He's smashed, hehe." One of the goons laughed, which earned them a withering glare from (Y/N).

Next she sent Zack a stern look, which was far less threatening than the one that the goons had just received.

"You, sober up. Drink some water and eat something."

Zack sniffled and nodded, crawling back to the table to begin to shove spoonfuls of rice into his mouth.

I saw my drunk, unconscious self and

'It didn't disappear! So why didn't I change?' Daniel wondered.

"Huh?"

Daniel gulped.

Then they turned

And were suddenly staring at me.
