Black and White

A new friend

After a week or so Danny returned to school. He was walking mindlessly to his room when suddenly Josh pounded over him from nowhere .

"Daaaannnyyyyyyy!!!!! I missed you so muchhhhh.....I was really worried about you.....why didn't you called me?...I went to the hospital to pay you a visit but wasn't allowed to see you ? Why ? Are you some celebrity or something?"

Danny was taken aback a little at the mention of the word 'celebrity', he struggled to search for a proper excuse.

"Oh come'n , just kidding , how can you be a celebrity with that expressionless face of yours ? Let's go now, you have a lot to catch up to"

"Mmm Josh , what happened to Zeus and the other guys ?"

Josh's expression changed all of a sudden but he quickly covered it up with his grin and said , " well after you were taken to the hospital , Zeus and his father had a meeting with the principal and he was suspended for a month. But I think it's too little a punishment for his actions, but then again his father has connections with the trusties of the school so it pretty much sums up everything."

Danny nodded in reply , ' So I'm gonna have a hustle free month , that's a good news' , Danny thought to himself. What he failed to realise is the changing expression of gloom in Josh's face .

Classes went on as usual , Danny is preoccupied with projects and stuff . He is actually enjoying pressure and at the same time enjoying the moments that he stole from life .

After having dinner Danny went out for a walk , there's a river nearby , things are quiet for a bit as long as Zeus is not around even Danny hasn't seen much of the rest of "Mighty Zeus" as well .

He reached the banks of the river and made himself comfortable over the wet grass , a cool breeze was blowing making the hair on his nape erect . Danny loved the atmosphere, the moons shinning brightly along with stars . He carried his ukulele along with him. It's easy to carry in inside his coat due to its size and nobody will notice . He took out his ukulele and was about to play something when he heard some noise coming from the bush nearby . Danny was startled , he stood up and went near the bush , "hisssss" , now he heard the sound properly , he then parted the bush to find a black and white cat hissing towards him .

"Hey there little one"

"Hisssss"

"Why are you angry ?....mmmm are you hungry perhaps ? Let me see if I have something in my pocket", with this Danny went through his pocket and found a packet of biscuit which he bought earlier today in the morning. He opened the packet and broke the biscuits according to a cats bite size pieces and placed his palm in front of the cat . The cat didn't hissed at him anymore , he came closer and sniffed the biscuits and started to nibble it down . Danny smiled and said , " So you were hungry huh !"

"Meoww!"

"Okay okay , I won't tease , have your fill now kitty"

The cat ate all the 5 biscuits that Danny had with him . Danny slowly placed his hand over the cat's head and started to stroke it, the cat didn't resisted or hissed or meow-ed at him anymore , he was enjoying all the attention that Danny was paying him .

"Hey little one wanna hear a song ?"

"Meow"

"Oh ! So , you do understand human language eh!"

He took out his ukulele and played "Falling in love with you" by Elvis Presley .

As he started singing the cat came up and made himself comfortable in the warmth of his lap. After finishing his song , Danny found him purring in peacefully . Danny smiled and put the ukulele back in his jacket , he slowly picked the little one up making sure not to wake him .

All this while Danny didn't realised he was monitored by a menacing gaze again .
