When Amaya got on he bus, she wanted to talk with Daniel, but as soon as their eyes met, he turned to the opposite side.
"Amaya!" Daniella said as she waved at her.
"Morning Dani"
"Moring bestie"
For the rest of the road, Amaya was uncharacteristically quiet, only replying to Daniella with halfhearted responses.
"Did something happen?" Daniella asked as she got off the bus.
"No, why'd you ask?"
"Something is obviously wrong, Amaya. You are normally more bubbly. You love to talk."
"I'm okay. I have to get to class," Amaya replied before she skipped some of the stairs and entered the school.
As Amaya was walking to class suddenly somebody dragged her into an empty corridor.
"Who the f-"
"Shut up."
"Oh, Daniel! I thought you were ignoring me."
"We never talked in public before. It would have been suspicious If suddenly we talked like buddies. We can't talk in public, especially about- that"
"I didn't think that through."
"It's okay. We need to make a plan."
"I think I have some ideas. First of all, we should sleep at the same time. We should also understand the world. You had two very good theories, which in my opinion one should end up being correct. But It's hard to decide on what, so I have an idea to find out. After school, come to my house." Amaya continued to ramble, She stopped after noticing Daniel smiling at her." Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Remember how you said none of your skills would work. Strength isn't everything. Without thinking, with only strength, what is our difference from animals."
"Then I'm the brains, you are the brawn"
"Yes, so don't lose your motivation."
"Thank you, brother Daniel. What excuse are you going to say to Dani? She will be suspicious."
"You are bad at chemistry,y right?"
"I won't say bad. I always pass. I just hate it."
"Then, as your honorary brother, you asked me to help you. I have known you since you were a baby. It won't be suspicious for me to help you"
"Okay then, see ya after school."
The rest of the school went on as normal as always. Amaya hung out with Dani during all the breaks. At lunch, Dani and her sat with some girls from Dani's class. Amaya honestly didn't like the girls; in her opinion, they gave off 'mean girl' vibes. Of course, Daniella strongly disagreed with her, saying, 'When you get used to them, it's fun hanging out with them.' This time, Amaya disagreed with Dani.
As Amaya and Dani got on the bus, Daniel stopped them and, like they had talked, he said he would help Amaya with chemistry. Of course, Daniella wasn't really happy.
"Then I will come with you. Help both of us."
"If you come, you guys won't study. And I will have to listen to you both talk about 'oh how hot that boy is'. I'm not a babysitter." Daniel mocked.
"Shut up, Daniel. Ugh, I didn't say he was hot, I said he was cute by the way."
"Yeah, like there is a difference."
"Hey Daniel, you ain't coming?" a friend of Daniel—Arnold asked.
"Don't get your panties in a twist, Arnold. I'm coming." Daniel replied as he rolled his eyes. "See you at home, lil sis," he said to Daniella before getting on the bus with his friends.
'In that world, Daniel was way nicer.' Amaya thought as she got on the bus with Daniella.
