DANIELLA'S POV

The engine to Dylan's car finally stopped which signified that we've arrived at the Academy. I grabbed my bag about to open the door when Dylan's voice stopped me.

"Dani wait!"

"What?" I turned to him.

"Are you sure you want to go in there?"

Dylan's been bothering me to skip school for the week because of what happened yesterday. He thinks I will get attacked by the 'Jason King Fandom' which consist of angry girls but I on the other hand, don't care. Let them come at me because I don't regret what I did at all.

"We've been over this Dylan. I'm not scared of them."

"Well you should be."

Realizing something, I smiled at him.

"And why're you so worried about me?"

"Doesn't matter. Why're you smiling? Does it look like I'm smiling?" He asked with a frown.

"It's just..you're rude to me and all, but deep down you care about me."

Dylan rolls his eyes. "Whatever."

"See? You don't even deny it."

"I don't hate you, you're just annoying.  There's a difference."

"Awwnn it's nice to know you care but I'll be fine."

I pinched his cheek and stepped out of the car leaving but not before catching sight of the blood rising to his cheeks.

As I walked past the hallways with Bella and Vicky, eyes seemed to follow my every move. Some nodded and smiled at me, might I add they were very few, while others give me death glares. Finally reaching my locker, I felt more relieved.

"Thanks for having my back." I said to them.

"Anytime. What are friends for? Incase you hadn't noticed, what you did yesterday gained you a lot of popularity. People have been talking about you but let's say the majority don't have nice words."

"You mean the crazy fan girls."

"Yup. They're everywhere."

"Honestly, I'm still bummed I didn't get to see the action." Vicky huffs.

"Literally everyone has the video clip. Haven't you seen it?" Bella asks.

"Of course I have. But it's different when you see it in person. You do know that live concerts and football games are better than watching on Tv."

"True." I agree.

Vicky groans and Bella comforts her, promising a next time. If that were to happen, I'd punch Jason in the face.

"You guys can leave now if you want. I know you have to get things from your locker."

"We can't leave you Dani."

"Yeah. They're a lot of vermins and serpents lurking around." Vicky says scanning the hallway warily.

"Don't worry, it's just a couple of minutes and then we can head to class together."

"Okay we'll be back. Stay put."

"Not moving an inch." I smiled at her.

As soon as they left, I continued getting the books from my locker that I needed. When I slammed my locker shut, a figure stood beside me which caught me off guard. I recognised him as one of Jason's friends I saw yesterday. There were two of them; one with blonde hair and the other dark hair. The one who stood in front of me was the blonde. With hands in his pocket, he stared at me intently.
