Danny ran down the stairs to the kitchen and found Maya sitting there on her phone eating the last pop-tart. He shrugs and rummages through the refrigerator. “ Looking for this ” said Maya as she holds up an empty chocolate pudding cup. “ No wonder you don ’ t have any friends ” said Danny as he closes the refrigerator and picks up his backpack. Danny makes his way to the front door, he grab ’ s his hot wheels helmet and places it over his curly red hair. “ Mom! ” shouted Maya from the Kitchen “ Danny is skipping the bus again! ” Danny fitted the buckle on his helmet and hurried out the door, he was making his way to the garage when his mom opened the door and called out to him, “ Daniel, we talked about this, you have to take the bus if you want to meet friends. I know it ’ s hard being the new kid but you have to try. ” Danny briefly looked back at her and shouted “ I will do it tomorrow ”. He walked his bike out of the garage and onto the road. “ Ok, as long as you don ’ t go to school tomorrow ”, said his mom right before she disappeared inside. Danny grew a puzzled look on his face but quickly shrugged off her response, he hopped on his bike and soon disappeared around the corner. 
 
 Danny slowed down as he neared the back of the white truck. He could hear a car coming the opposite direction, so he quickly decided his best option was to veer left and ride onto the pavement until he overtook the truck. Danny felt himself hit the ground hard, and he could feel the seat of his bike piercing his leg. He opened his eyes and saw a mailman helping himself up off the grass. “ Why are you riding here kid! ” he bellowed. “ I ’ m sorry I didn ’ t see you ” Danny managed to utter as he pulled his bike off the pavement and stood it up against a tree. He proceeded to help the mailman retrieve the pieces of mail that had gotten stuck in some nearby hedges. Danny stacked the few envelopes he rescued and handed it to the mailman. “ Don ’ t go to school tomorrow ” said the mailman as he snatched the envelopes out of Danny ’ s hand. “ What…Why? ” responded Danny in a confused tone. The mailman looked annoyed “ I think the response you ’ re looking for is you ’ re welcome ” he said as he walked towards a mail box. Danny blurted “ What? No, you said don ’ t go to school tomorrow, what do you mean by that?. The mailman finished stuffing the mail in the box and walked back to his truck ignoring Danny. “ What do you mean? ” pressed Danny as he approached the door of the Van. “ Are you on something kid or is this one of those YouTube prank things.'' The mailman turned his key and shook his head and drove off leaving Danny with a bloody elbow and a very confused countenance. 
 
 Danny barely made it to first period before the bell rang. He quickly lounged into his seat as Miss Mills walked in. She quickly noticed his bloody arm and called him into the hall. She asked him about his injury and he told her he fell off his bike. “ Are you sure this isn ’ t one of the boys? ” She asked concerned. Miss Mills knew Danny was having a hard time fitting in at school and caught some of the boys in her class harassing him on more than one occasion, but nothing extreme. Danny reaffirmed his accident. “ Ok, please let me know if you have any problems and don ’ t go to school tomorrow ”. Danny jumped back in terror, he was so confused, what the hell does she mean, why did she say that to him. 
 
 “ Huh? Why not? What ’ s happening tomorrow? ”. 
 
 “ Excuse me? ” responded Miss Mills. 
 
 “ You just said don ’ t go to school tomorrow! ” replied Danny frantically. 
 
 “ No I said please don ’ t feel the need to hide anything ”. 
 
 “ No! No! Shouted Danny raising his voice louder than he ever had with any adult before. “ You said don ’ t go to school tomorrow, I heard it! ” 
 
 “ Daniel, please calm down, I did not say that, are you afraid of coming to school tomorrow? Is someone threatening you? Is it Kyle and his friends? Do I need to call your parents? ” 
 
 The last thing Danny wanted was for her to call his parents and for his mom to find out he is going against the grain with making friends. He quickly apologized and said his accident made him a little woozy. She instructed him to go to the nurse ’ s office to get himself checked out and then he could return to class. 
 
 Danny got to the nurses office and got himself some bandages. She commented on how well dressed he was for school compared to the other students she had seen. He politely thanked her for her kindness and graced his face with a smile. The thrill of the kindness soon wore off as he couldn ’ t stop running the events of the morning through his head. He must have really gotten his head hurt from that accident. No that doesn ’ t make any sense he had his helmet on, he thought to himself. “ Nurse, could my head have gotten hurt from my accident? ” he asked hopefully. 
 
 “ Were you wearing a helmet? ” 
 
 “ Yes ” 
 
 “ Hmm, nope I doubt that ” she responded as she examined his head. “ Do you have a headache? ” 
 
 “ Nope ” he said as he slides off the bed. “ It ’ s ok, I ’ m sure I am fine ” 
 
 “ Ok, don ’ t go to school tomorrow ” 
 
 There it was again, Danny felt sick in his stomach. “ Why does everyone keep saying that? ” he snapped! The nurse looked at him confused. “ What did you just say? ” snapped Danny again. “ I said you are good to go ” answered the nurse hesitantly. “ No you said don ’ t go to school tomorrow ”. Before the nurse could respond again another student came into the office. Danny hissed his teeth and hustled out the door. Never before had he been so angry. It just doesn ’ t make sense, he know he heard them. 
 
 Danny walked into the cafeteria, grabbed the grub of the day and stood in a corner reluctantly chowing it down. Mom said it first, he thought to himself, I will ask her when I get home and find out what ’ s going once and for all. She wouldn ’ t lie to me… would she? As Danny stood there taking his final bites, he saw Emily walking towards him, he took a hard swallow and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. What is she doing, was she walking over to him? Does Kyle notice his girlfriend walking towards him? He glanced over to where Kyle and his friends normally sit. They were all busy, chatting and flicking their food at a nearby group of students. 
 
 “ Hi, I'm Emily ”. Danny felt his body burning from the inside out. “ I know…err…I mean, Hi, my name is Daniel…Da-Danny ”. At this point he had broken out in full sweat. “ I just wanted to let you know that you can always come and sit with my friends during lunch ” she smiled. “ Umm, it ’ s ok I have already finished ” he said, still in disbelief that she is even talking to him let alone inviting him to eat with her. “ Ok, that ’ s fine, don ’ t go to school tomorrow ”. The sweat rescinded into his pores and the awkward uncomfortable feelings were eradicated. “ What? What is going on? Why mustn ’ t I go to school tomorrow? ” He said trying to not to blow up on the prettiest kindest girl he has ever met. “ No, I said you can come sit with us tomorrow ”. He couldn ’ t hold it back any longer, you ’ re lying! He screamed. Everyone in the cafeteria swung their heads in that direction and Emily took a few steps backwards. Ten seconds later Kyle was in his face “ hey new kid! What are you doing screaming at my girlfriend? ” Danny gathered himself and glanced at Emily, “ Sorry…I… ” he whispered. He proceeded to walk away from the scene, when Kyle tripped him. He landed hard again. Twice in one day he thought to himself, he was furious. He looked up at Kyle, his face red with anger. “ Are you going to do something new kid? ” bullied Kyle. Danny remained affixed to the floor. “ Look at his face, it ’ s as red as his hair, ha-ha, must of eaten a lot of tomatoes where he came from.'' The whole cafeteria erupted in laughter. Their overlapping voices and laughter echoed and their faces started to become distorted. The room was spinning. The bell rings. No one walks away they just keep laughing at him, he thinks to himself why is the bell ringing there is no way lunch is over already. 
 
 “ Hey jerk face! You want to shut that thing up ” he opened his eyes to see Maya standing at his door way eating a chocolate pudding cup. Danny hesitated as he got back in touch with reality, he turned off his alarm and threw his pillow at Maya. “ Get out of my room you little face stuffer. ” Danny got ready for the day and hurried out the door, as he neared the end of the driveway his mom ran after him, “ Honey don ’ t forget your chemistry book ”, he stopped and took the book from her and she walked back to the house. He opened his backpack and placed his chemistry book between his math book and dad ’ s gun.
