Imagine comforting Daniel after his final break up with Kim and you find out he broke up with her because he likes you.
The news was spread throughout the school before you even stepped foot inside of it - Daniel and Kim had broken up, though no one really knew why. You could hear the speculation as you walked through the school, peeking into classrooms and around corners to find Daniel, to see if he needed someone right now. Instead, what you had found was yourself being shoved against a locker by Kim. “Thanks a lot, skeeze,” The burly blonde said, spitting venom in your direction. You stared at her, surprised, with wide eyes. She could be a bitch but she hardly ever turned it towards you. Not seriously, anyway. This was very serious. “Kim I -” You started but she give you the finger and walked off, two girls following her, shooting you glares. You stared after their backs, only to find yourself startled once more by an arm going around her shoulders. “Don’t mind her,” Daniel said, thrusting out to chin to follow Kim’s back. “She always gets more bitchy when she’s dumped.” “So - you dumped her?” You asked, leaning back against the wall, raising an eyebrow. Daniel shrugged dismissively, looking down the hall. The bell rang overhead and everyone was heading to their classes but the two of you stood still. “Why?” You finally asked, after another minute. “Do I need a reason?” He asked, looking over his shoulder down the hallway. Kim had long vacated, leaving the school rather than sticking around. Probably only came to throw her little tantrum for attention. “Usually people have one,” You pointed out. “Alright, uhh - she’s a bitch.” “She’s always been a bitch, try again.” “I like someone else?” He suggested. You hummed at the sound of that, wondering if there was some truth in that. Which only brought you to Kim’s earlier words. Thanks a lot. But - no? You couldn’t be presumptuous. “Lindsey?” You asked, looking to his dark brown eyes, which were more telling of his emotions than his words. HE grimaced, which told you no. “Who then?” “God, you’re stupid,” He said, the corner of his lips going up in a smile. “Meet me at the smoking pit when you figure it out.” He walked away, leaving you thinking. Kim and Lindsey were the only two girls that he only seemed to talk to. Except for - If the signs were pointing to it, it wasn’t being presumptuous, was it? Thanks a lot, skeeze. You sighed, looking towards the closed door of your classroom down the hall, then turned away to walk towards the smoking pit, heart beating fast, hoping you weren’t wrong.
