The three teens set off on an epic journey to get pizza, eat it and get back in time for class.
riveting I know.
Maxx and Dan walked on the outside while Wynter was sandwiched between them. Dan broke the silence first "how have your days been going?" he spoke only really looking at Wynter. Maxx shrugged in response, Wynter sighed slightly "we had 4 tests. FOUR FUCKING TESTS." "Oh damn that's a lot of tests," spoke Dan sympathetically smiling down at her. Maxx's Phone went off, He looked at it after reading the message he pumped his fist in triumph. " Jonas said; "Do you wanna hang at the park...? just me and you...?"I'm gonna go claim my Man I recommend you claim Mr Emo hair twink before someone swoops us and takes him." And with that Maxx strutted off victoriously.
Wynter went red in the face at those comments. Maxx always had some sort of goal to embarrass her and He succeeded in this attempt. Dan just laughed "Is he always like that? I'm sorry if he is." He said softly. "It's no big deal we tease each other all the time," Wynter said trying to bush it off casually, She did think Dan was really attractive but before she started crushing on him she wanted to get to know him before anything escalated. "Your outfit looks lovely today Wynter." he said sweetly. "thank you! you look really good too!" she said trying to hide her lingering embarrassment. they turned the corner to see a group of boys who had always given her and Maxx a hard time whenever they saw them at lunch. The 'Leader" of the pack was a boy named Jon who had gone to the same middle school that Wynter and Maxx had graduated from just a few months back. Jon yelled from across the parking lot something along the lines of "Fag!, Gay! etc." you see Jon wasn't the smartest kid of all, Dan was known as what could be called a bad boy and Jon's stupid comments set him off.
Dan hurled a quarter-sized rock at the group of boys it hitting one of the boys upside the head. He was royally pissed off at this point and he threw a few more most of them hitting its target. Wynter was a little shocked Dan did not seem like the kind of guy to retaliate like that, But she found it kind of attractive. Dan brushed his sweater off and sighed, "Are they always like that?" he asked. "Yeah< Sadly they haven't seemed to have matured past the second grade," Wynter replied. Her witty comment made Dan literally laugh out loud.
They finally made it to their destination. Little Ceasar's pizza where all the broke high schoolers went for lunch. He pulled out his wallet, "do you want anything to drink?" He asked sweetly. "Just water if you don't mind." She said awkwardly. She wasn't one to ask people to buy her stuff. "Can I get one pepperoni pizza and bottled water as well as a monster?" He asked the older gentleman behind the counter. The restaurant was a very popular place to go during lunch so it was packed. The man handed them their order.
They turned around and headed back towards the school settling down at a small bench outside a small business "What middle school did you go to?" Dan asked inquisitively. "Well during 7th and most of 8th I lived in with my mom but I moved back right before summer." "Oh. I've lived here my whole life." They opened the pizza box and both grabbed a slice. She started eating the food. Dan did the same.
After they finished the rest of the pizza Dan got up throwing the pizza box away, that both set off back to the school. "That was fun. Can I ask a few questions to get to know you better?" He asked politely "Sure why not." "What are somethings that you do for fun?" "Well, I like to build things in Minecraft and do art." She said, "Oh really I love Minecraft and I also draw a lot." "Id love to see some of your art!" She was excited to meet a fellow artist. "Sure!" He pulled out his sketchbook handing it to her. "Go ahead and look through it none of them is all that great." He rubbed that back of his neck nervously. She began to thumb through the pages she was impressed, he had beautiful realistic portraits, many of easily recognizable celebrities. Prince, Brendon Urie, Gerard Way and a lot of classic emo icons. Which wasn't very surprising considering Dan's outer appearance.
"Wow! These are amazing" she said in awe all of his pieces were amazingly detailed and intricate he was very talented. "Thank you. If like to see some of your art at some point!" The fact that she seemed so impressed by his art made his heart flutter.
Wynter pulled out her phone to check how much time they had left. 3 minutes. "Shit. We have three minutes until class starts!" She spoke with panic. They both got up and began to jog to get back to school on time. By the time they got back, they had about 30 seconds till the one minute bell rang. They bid farewell and went separate ways to get to their 5th-period class.
Dan had fallen for her in the last hour. She was perfect in his opinion. She was beautiful sweet kind and everything he was looking for in a partner.
Wynter liked Dan so far he was respectful and kind to her. She was excited to get to know him better and maybe do this again tomorrow.
Class started but all these two could think about was each other. It seemed too good to be true. To an extent, it was too good to be true.
