Daniel's POV

——The rest of the week goes by normally——

It was finally Friday and Daniel couldn't be happier, don't get him wrong, school is nice and all but all Daniel wants to do is leave and go to bed. Since Monday, he's had to wake up at 6am to get to school and he's been really tired, after today he gets to sleep in. Yeah, it's only for two days but it's better than nothing.

Daniel takes a shower, dresses up and goes downstairs to make breakfast for himself. Since he has time he makes his famous bananarama pancakes, eggs, bacon and brews himself some coffee, he turns on the news and watches the tv while eating.

Once Daniel was done, he washed his dishes and turned off the tv before exiting his house. He hopped into his car, but before he left he remembered that his phone was still in the house. God, if he forgot his phone that would have been so bad, as much as Daniel hates to say it but he needs his phone to survive (he doesn't really, but he doesn't want to leave his phone while he's at work because what if someone breaks in and steals it? Or what if his mother calls him and it's an emergency? You never know).

Daniel finally finds his phone on the coffee table and checks his watch 7:25, ok, he has to go like now. He enters his car and speeds (thankfully without getting caught) to the school. He checks the time 7:50, phew he's made it in time.

He enters the school and goes to a classroom to get ready for his first class, Geography.

——Daniel finishes his first two classes Geography and Maths, break goes by without any disturbance. He goes to his next classes French and Business, they go by smoothly——

It's lunch and Daniel goes into the staff room, he doesn't know if he wants to see Johnny there or not but it doesn't matter because Daniel sees Johnny in the corner of the staff room, talking to Ali. Daniel rolls his eyes, he can't help it he might be a bit jealous (he's really jealous). “Hey Daniel, come sit with us” Dutch yelled and Daniel kinda wished he didn't, just then Johnny’s head turned and he glared at Dutch and Dutch had the audacity to just shrug. Was he trying to get Daniel in trouble, Johnny glared at Daniel and their eyes met.

Daniel couldn't help the blush coming on his cheeks and looked away. “Oh, come on Johnny let him sit with us” Jimmy sighed. Suddenly Ali spoke up “Daniel, if you don't want to sit with them, you can sit with me”.

Daniel was conflicted, they were all looking at him and he didn't know who to choose. If he chooses Ali, Johnny would think that he likes Ali and get the wrong idea. But if Daniel chooses the guys, Johnny would think that he was trying to steal his friends away from him and also get the wrong idea.

Daniel decided that it was just better to leave “I actually think I forgot something in my car, so I'm just gonna go eat there ” Daniel explains, feet backing up towards the door “Are you sure Daniel?” Ali asks worriedly. Daniel nods, turns around and practically runs to his car. He enters his car, sighs and takes out his lunch.

Johnny's POV

As soon as Daniel shut the door to the staff room, Ali spoke up “Johnny you have to stop treating Daniel like that” “What do you mean?” Johnny asks confused because what does she mean he has to stop treating Larusso like that? What has he done? (excluding Johnny threatening him) “You know what I mean” Ali warns “Daniel has been nothing but nice to everyone and you're treating him like shit, it's not fair” Johnny rolled his eyes, the only reason she cares is because she likes him. If Johnny was treating anyone else the way he was treating Larusso she wouldn't care. “So what? I don't care” Johnny grumbled.

“Ali’s right, you guys need to become friends Johnny. He's not trying to start anything, you have to apologise” Bobby states. “Are you serious?” Johnny asks because why does he have to apologise he hasn't done anything. “Yes, Johnny I'm serious. Either today or on Monday, you have to apologise to Daniel and be nice to him” Bobby concludes “Fine” Johnny huffed. He would apologise to Larusso… just not today.

Daniel's POV

——Daniel finishes his last two classes and the bells ring signalling the end of the school day——

Daniel was so happy that school was over for the week, it's been so stressful. He hears his name being called on the intercom and is kinda nervous because did he do something wrong? He enters the principal’s office and sits down.

“Hi Daniel, Since this is your first week here I just wanted to ask how’s it been? Hope it's not too bad” Principal Jessica Andrews inquired “Thanks for asking, it hasn't been too bad. My colleagues are very nice, and the students aren't that noisy” Daniel responded. “That's good” Principal Andrews commented.

“I'm glad, you're doing well” Principal Andrews added “Can you get Johnny, I need to tell him something” Johnny?.... He has to get Johnny? How is Daniel going to speak to him without blushing or fighting the urge to both punch and kiss him. This is going to be so bad.
