New Boy [Daniel Seavey]

four

I walk into calculus and immediately spot Daniel with a open seat next to him in the back of the room. I hurry over to the open seat and sit down. "Hey Daniel I have a favor to ask."

Daniel looks up from his phone and meets his eyes with mine, "yeah what's up?"

"Okay so my best friend Bailey thinks you're really cute and she won't shut up about you. So I was wondering if she could get your number?"

Daniel's silent for a second then smirks, "yeah sure." He rips off a corner of a sheet of paper and then writes his name and then a number. "Here you go," he says then hands me the piece of paper.

I smile, "thanks."

"Is it actually for your best friend though?" 

I roll my eyes, "yes Daniel it is for my best friend. If you want proof you can sit with us at lunch."

"Really?"

I nod. "Yeah and you watch her drool over you."

Daniel laughs, "sounds like a plan."

-

"So where do you guys sit for lunch?" Daniel asks as we walk out of b building.

"We normally go off campus for lunch."

"Who drives?"

"Bailey does."

"Oh so your best friends name is Bailey?" Daniel asks.

"Yes sir."

"Ash!"

"Bales?"

"Yes ma'am."

I turn around and face Bailey and smile. "So Daniel is joining us for lunch." 

Baileys face goes red. "Really?" 

"Yes. So I was thinking like McDonald's for lunch. That sound good?"

"That sounds amazing, but you know would ta-"

"Daniel shut up. Bailey McDonald's good?" 

"Yeah, but you're driving my car."

"Okay."

"Actually can we take my car?" Daniel asks holding up his keys.

I look at Bailey. "Daniels car or yours?" 

She looks at me and then at Daniel then back at me, "Daniels."

I shake my head, she barley knows the boy and she already has a huge crush on him. We start walking towards the gate to get out of school and my phone dings.

from Best Friend: Did you get his number?

to Best Friend: yeah

I pull the piece of paper out of my back pocket and type the number into our texts.

to Best Friend: his number is (515) 125-8852

from Best Friend: thank you ily

I laugh and shove my phone into my back pocket. "Daniel you better drive fast we only have thirty-five minutes till we have to be back in class.

Daniel chuckles, "fast is the only thing I know."

I scoff and Bailey gives me a glare, "what? You're the one that thinks he's attractive, not me."

Baileys face gets deep red, but Daniel acts like he doesn't hear anything.

-

"You're really a Big Mac kind of guy?" I ask Daniel as we sit down.

"Yeah. I like everything bigger."

"Yeah so does Bailey."

"Oh really now?" he asks changing his glance towards Bailey.

"It really just all depends on what," she says.

Daniel sits next to Bailey, "so what kind of big things do you like?" he asks with a smirk.

Bailey kicks my shin under the table. "Well I like bigger stuffed animals, and bigger bags of chips. Things like that."

Daniel nods his head slowly, "what about guys?" 

I snort, "yeah okay new topic."

Daniel looks at me and then looks back at Bailey, "so do you have a boyfriend?"

Bailey nods her head no, "nope."

"Do you want one?"

Bailey's quiet for a few seconds, thinking about what she wants to say, and then she says, "I would like to have one I just haven't found one yet." 

"Don't you have a girlfriend back home in Portland?" I ask Daniel. So I might have gone home last night and looked up Daniel on a few social media platforms and he's really popular with the girls. A lot of girls comment on his Instagram pictures. Like they comment some questionable things.

Daniel looks at me, "how do you know I'm from Portland?"

"Mr Jones told me."

"Or did you go out of your way last night and look me up?" he asks smirking. He's always smirking. It's annoying.

"I have better things to do than spend my time looking up ugly boys on social media." I say back in a sassy tone. Actually, in all honesty, Daniel isn't ugly. But Bailey saw him first so she gets dibs.

"Oh so now I'm ugly?" 

"I never said you were cute. Bailey did though."

"Why do you keep bringing me up?" she whines.

I look at her and smile, "because you dummy, you guys would be cute."

"You really think that?" she asks.

I look at Daniel and then at Bailey and then back and fourth at least five times. "Honestly? Yeah."
