Danny sat at one of the tables in the library, reading. For him, it wasn’t actually surprising. He usually spent most of his lunch period reading. Today, he was reading Catcher In The Rye. A book that bored him to death. Even though he liked books, this book just bored the hell out of him. But he had to read it for English class. Oh well. Most likely, either a food fight would be going on the cafeteria, or just a plain boring lunch. And either way, he wasn’t that hungry.
He flipped through the pages absent mindedly, just bored. Lately, he hadn’t been able to concentrate on his classes. He didn’t know why. Although in class, it was a different story. He could concentrate, but both Hope and Kimberly were in his classes. Hope, he had no problem with. Of course he wouldn’t have a problem with Hope! It was Kimberly that got on his nerves. That girl just hated him ever since he stood up for Hope.
And that brought him back to thinking about Hope. He wondered where she was at the moment. He hadn’t spotted her in the library when he walked in, but that was kind of expected. He couldn’t really see well without his glasses at some points. At the moment, his glasses were….somewhere. Somewhere that he didn’t know where. Oh well. He’d find them sooner or later. Or get a new pair…
He was wearing a yellow and green striped button-down shirt, with the first four buttons unbuttoned, normal blue jeans, and sneakers. Today, he had on a plain black hat. Nothing fancy that day. His hair was going toward the bottom of his neck, sticking out slightly, but that was also expected. His hair never stayed down for him when he wanted it to. It’s some of curse, he thought to himself.
And now, five minutes after he looked around, he became officially bored again. It just seemed to follow him. Today just wasn’t his day to read anything today. Boredom just seemed to follow. Something must be haunting him. Well, at least that’s what he thought. Whenever he got bored, he always thought of the stupidest things. He found that fun. Although he’s pretty sure other people find it either weird, creepy, or just plain annoying. But hey, he really didn’t care.
He considered playing a prank on one of the preppy girls or the stupid jocks, but none of them were in the library. He wondered if they ever knew how to read. Probably not. He thought that’s most likely the reason none of them ever came to the library. To him, Kimberly Evans-Walsh was the perfect example of this. He wondered how the girl made it through school being as clueless as she is. Sometimes, he felt she acted like a dumb blonde. All she had to do was dye her hair, and she played the perfect spoiled bitch.
Crossing his legs, he crossed his arms and stared down at the book, staring. Comics would have been more interesting. He needed to head down to the bookstore and get some manga. He needed something to read. Maybe Hope would come along. Or they could’ve gone to the mall and walked around. Maybe jump into that wonderful fountain that was located somewhere in the mall. But one problem; Hope was nowhere to be found at the moment. Silently, he wished she’d just appear at that moment.

Why were libary's so quiet? Ok... Well Hope knew WHY they were quiet... but she didnt like it!!! It ment she had to be quiet and that wasnt really her!! She could hear everything! Clocks ticking, pages turning, the sound of her foot everytime it landed gracefully on the floor!!
The librarian gave her a funny look but Hope continued to skip through the aisles!!! No matter how much she hated the library she had good reason to be there! She was looking for Danny!!! Ever since she'd first met him Danny had this uncanny ability to make her smile! She loved everything about him!!! He was just so.... amazing!
As she skipped through the aisles she noticed him. He was reading something... probably their english book!! 'catcher in the rye'! She was supposed to be reading it too but she'd read it at her old school and it bored her enough then... she just made out she hadnt read it before and her teacher didnt seem to notice.
Hope crept up behind him, the spring disapearing from her step as she tried to be quiet!! She let her arms came around Daniels head as she covered his eyes! "Guess who?"
[/b] She said quietly! Like he could have guess from the accent but thats not the point...! He looked cute! In his usual sort of stuff... green and yellow shirt, jeans and one of his cool hats!!! It was the black one today! The black one was called Nancy!! Hope had named all of Dannys hats!!! It was so fun!!! He just giggled at her for a while!! Hope didnt look so cute!! She'd been boring that morning and thrown on a black high waisted pencil skirt and a red gingham shirt! And her black shiny platforms!! They were so cool!!! She was unsure if she should but them but Danny made the persuasive argument that she wanted them so she did! Hope had always seemed to look different but everyone had their own unique style at this school! It allowed her to be herself without the inevitable judging she got!!! She still seemed to get it from some people but most people didnt really care!! Except when she wore too much yellow!! Then people judged!! But aslong as she was comfortable... she wore it!

Stupid book. He wanted to throw it out the window. Or stomp on it. Who really cared about that main character, Holden. What kind of name was Holden, anyways? Why not something simple, like Alexander, Christopher, or Daniel? Then he’d feel pretty damn good.
When he felt the hands cover his eyes, he knew almost right away who it was. Well, he actually wouldn’t have, but the voice gave it away. Hope was the only one that had that kind of cute accent. He grinned, reaching up and pulling her hands off his eyes. He craned his neck to look up at her. “Hey, Hope. Now, how is it you come when I wish you would? Did you magically become psychic?”
He nodded toward the chair across from him, inviting her to sit down. He definitely needed someone to talk to. And that someone was Hope. She was the one person he could continue a conversation with without being bored out of his mind.
She looked pretty damn cute that day. Hope, in one of her cute little unique outfits. That’s one reason he loved Hope. She had the interesting sense of style! And she always loved to laugh. He remembered how when she’d come over to his place once, she’d named every single one of his hats. All twenty-four of them. Today he was wearing ‘Nancy’. She named one of his plainest hats Nancy.
He smirked and said, “So, Hope, darling, you planning on doing anything today? ” He loved calling her that. It just made their friendship more fun. Calling each other funny little names. Darling, hon., All those names that the old married couples would say. It just showed that they would goof off when they became old.
He closed his book shut happily. Hope was there to distract him from the book. The book he so greatly despised. It bored him a lot. And he could tell it bored her too. When their English teacher, Ms. Moore, had told them to read the book, she’d immediately shoved it in her bag and ignored it. At least, he thought she did. He hadn’t seen the book around her since they’d gotten it. He didn’t blame her. Who in their right mind would read that book?

Hope smiled and screwed her nose up slightly at his psychic comment!!! "Could be!! So be careful what you're thinking!" She giggled.
Hope squeezed Daniels hand slightly before heading of to the chair he'd sent her towards! She sat down placing her elbows on her knees and her head on her hands as she looked up at Danny!!
As Danny spoke again Hope's smirk grew! Darling! She loved when he called her that!! It wasnt even anything to do with the fact she had feeling for him!! She just liked the... quirkiness of it! "Nope!! No plan's as of this moment!! Why do you ask sweety?"

He laughed. He loved that. Usually, people really didn’t laugh at his jokes. Hope was one of the few people that ever did. He rolled his eyes and laughed. “I shall, Madam. Don’t you worry!”
He felt her squeeze his hand, and he smiled. Hope; ever funny, ever fun, ever unexpecting, and ever cute. He knew there was a reason he’d stood up for her when he’d first seen her, and that was it. He sort of did like Hope. More than a best friend. More than a sister. He loved his sister to death, but Hope was more than that.
He laughed. He called her Darling, he got back Sweety. They were the ever funny pair. “Well, I am probably going to be bored for….the rest of this day. I was thinkin’ we could head to the mall or something. But maybe after classes. I don’t think you want to miss English, and the ever wonderful world of Math, do you?”

Hope smiled. "Mall sounds good!! Lessons dont!! Maths is like... the lesson they thingyed up just so they could prove we had brain cells!! The only stuff we learn that we'd need to know i knew before i learnt it!!! And the only thing making english intersting is this cutey... he sit next to me and you know he just always makes me smile!! Its uncanny!!! Not many people could make me smile while Ms Moore babbled on!" She said sticking her tongue out slightly! They both knew she ment him!

He laughed. “Of course. Mrs. Moore put coffee to sleep. Trust me, I know. Once I bought coffee along to keep me up; it put me right back to sleep!” He was joking, but it was funny. And he grinned modestly as she talked about him. She was always giving him compliments like that. He didn’t think he was that great. “Well, I bet this guy isn’t that great. I bet what makes him great is this really cute girl that sits next to him in that class. Now, I personally don’t know how much she think this guy is cute, but I bet that that guy feels pretty darn happy she sits next to him. Don’t you think?”

Hope giggled and shook her head slightly. "Nope!! I think this girl thinks he's cute because he is! And that he's pretty much fantastic on his own merit... she just brings out the best bits of him that he sometimes likes to hide but he shouldnt because they're what makes him amazing!" Hope looked at Danny and then around a little before leaning in. "And he may not realise... but he happens to be one of the sweetest.. most funny guys she's ever met!" She said like she was telling him a secret or something

He looked down at the table before looking back up at her. “Then, I’m thinking this girl is giving him way too much credit. I bet this guy is thinking that this girl is a cute, funny, sensitive girl who tries to get him to come out of the little shell. Although he might like the shell. Heck, maybe the shell is…say…a hat, maybe?” He silently laughed in his head. He was being an idiot. His hats were usually the shell. He could, would hide behind one of his many hats when he didn’t want to be noticed. And usually, it worked.

Hope burst out laughing and looked at him!! "Look, Danny You're ace! You're just gonna have to deal with that alright!?"[/b] She said sticking out her tongue! She didnt get how he could be so modest about himself when she thought he was so wonderful! She'd never met anyone like him!!

He laughed. “So, it is me?!” He gave her the fakest ‘oh-my-f*ing-god-you-must-be-kidding’ look he could muster. He laughed, sticking his tongue back out at her. “Come on, Hope. You know you’re way better than me! Just admit that to yourself, and I will buy you any three flavors of ice cream you want?” He wanted to see if that would work. Once, he’d bought three random kids ice cream when they didn’t have enough money. He was willing to spend the same amount for Hope. Hell, who wouldn’t spend the same amount for Hope?!

Hope looked at Danny shocked. "Aw come on thats not fair!!!! Thats totally bribery!!! How about... we agree we are equally as awsome as each other... and i still get the ice cream!"[/i] She said with a little cheeky smile that she knew that Danny could never resist!

He laughed. His weakness. That damn cheeky smile he loved too much. He gave her that little smirk that he usually didn’t show people, and said, “Deal. But you must go first, m’lady. It’s only fair that the Beautiful Maiden admits thy feelings first.” He remembered the Romeo and Juliet session that they’d had in English; some of those ways had rubbed off on him. For the good laughter better.

He laughed. "Yes, I am happy now. Now I shall congradulate you by treating you to some ice cream. When shall we do? Now or Later?" Mentally, he begged now. He couldn't stand to go through the rest of the day. He was pretty much ahead of people in all his classes; he knew basically everything they were supposed to do. Anymore class time, he would definitely hunt down Blaise Thompson and personally ask him to beat him unconcious.
