"You know what makes this small house best? The love and bonding we all share with each other. The care, talking to someone when I feel scared or alone. Does your big house gives you all of this?

I guess not, bye Mother."

....................................................

"Oh yes. I don't believe in one night stands and sex actually means something for me, unlike you who just uses it as a stress reliever. Well I am glad, I am not your type Hunter."

.......................................................

"I really thought we could be friends. But our little spoiled princess, Daniella over here, is very picky about her friends. She will not be friends with the peasants."

.......................................................

I am going to let you know that I am not spoiled Hunter Donnavan.

....................................................

Hunter is not talking to me.

He is full on ignoring me.

I have been trying to get him talk to me for the whole day. But there was no progress, whatsoever.

Today when he entered the school I was waiting for him at the gate, I desperately wanted to say how sorry I am, but he walked right past me like I was invisible or something.

And in history during our first lecture which, I have with Kyle and Hunter, I saved him a seat which, I must tell you was really hard because, this girl Riley, won't budge from her seat.

Apparently most of the girls in school don't like me now because they think that I am Hunter's girlfriend, before I was invisible for them and now they hate me. Just perfect.

That's why I preferred to remain unnoticed in every situation.

Riley is one of that, I hate Daniella club member, but lucky for me, When I reminded her that I saw her and Julia's boyfriend, Robert, going behind the book shelves in the library, during lunch last month, she was not left with much of a choice and had to move from the seat.

That scowl on her face though.

But Hunter had plans to make me feel even more guilty then I already am. When he entered the class and saw that only one seat was left unoccupied, which was beside me, Kyle took the one behind me.

He came forward and told Kyle,"First time in weeks I thought about attending a lecture but I think, not attending is better then sitting here with the royalties and feeling low about yourself."

And then he went out of the room without looking back. If he did look back though, he could see me right there on the floor, sulking. Kyle put an assuring arm on my shoulder from behind.

"Don't stop trying Danny and I would like to know, what the hell did you say to him? I have never seen him like this before." Kyle asked me.

I looked at him in an attempt to tell him that my mood was already off and he is not helping.

He got what I was trying to convey.

He gave me an assuring smile from behind.

"Don't worry. I am sure he can't resist such a cute face like this." I smiled and looked up at him to see that he was pointing his index finger to his face and calling himself cute.

I chuckled loudly.

I don't know why but I can't take this behaviour of Hunter.

This is what I wanted, right? For him to not talk to me, to leave me alone but now when he is actually doing it, I can't seem to handle it.

..........................................................

Me and Des were at my locker. I was getting some books out of it. Des was on her phone probably on Peeker Parker's Facebook page.

He has been posting about this annual sports fest our school hosts. A number of students come from different high schools to participate in the events.

The fest has almost all kinds of games basketball, running , boxing and obviously football.

She was totally engrossed in reading the new rules about the games.

Me on the other hand is totally not interested. I always stay behind the bleachers and cheer for Des. I like it that way only.

"They are having four rounds in the boxing championship this time?" Des screamed on the top of her lungs which made me drop one of my fat chemistry book.

Well that's strange. Normally there are only two rounds and Des is winning the championship for the last two years. It's going to be real pressure on her this year.

"Hey don't worry, I know you will win." I told her which made her smile.

I picked up my book and bumped into someone while getting up, which made me drop the book again.

Oh for the love of god.

"So now you are blind?" I knew that voice well.

Jasmine was standing there in front of me with her two barbies on her side.

Could those legs get any more orange?

I picked up my book and looked at her with anger. I haven't exactly forgotten what she did to me that day. And surly got my revenge.

"Well no I am not blind but I've got something for you." I pulled out the dress from my bagpack, that she lend me that day. "I am sorry it got ripped somehow."

Well I liked that top she ruined that day. With that stupid raspberry juice. It was pure white for laundry's sake.

I was trying really hard to stop my laughter and cover it with the most innocent face I could make, but Des's laughter behind me was making it really hard to control myself. Jasmine had a mixed emotion on her face of shock, anger and pain. She was looking at the hole on the light fabric. It was a small hole and i got it by accident while getting it out of the dryer. You can say I was not very delicate with the dress.

She clutched her hands together.

Should I be scared?

"You bi-" she stopped herself and looked right behind me with a horrific look on her face.

The next second she stomped her heel, snatched the fabric from my hand and went in the opposite direction. I could see the steam coming out of her ears.

Her barbies followed her with a confused look on their face.

I immediately turned around to see what scared her away. Des was already looking before me. It saw Hunter, standing right behind us. He was not looking at us. He was still staring at now far away Jasmine with a hard look on his face.

We were both looking at him intensely, his gaze shifted to the floor and he sighed, then he finally looked up to see us watching him. He was taken a back for a moment and then he quickly turned around and went inside one of the classrooms.

I don't know what to feel about him now.

School will be over and so will be my potential. The whole day was a sum up of me roaming around to find Hunter and he roaming around ignoring me.

After the Jasmine incident, I thought he would give me a chance to talk to him.

What he did actually melted my heart.

He has been really nice to me the past week, helping me in ways and all this is just making me feel more and more bad about what I said to him.

But he is being a total stranger to me lately.

Even in lunch today he didn't sit with me, he was all the way across me, I was happy at least we were on the same table. I thought that me trying to talk to him finally had me on some level of progress.

I tried to say sorry to him but he was never looking at me, his whole focus was on his sandwich so, I tried to talk to him like a normal person.

"The weather is great today, don't you think Hunter?"

Everyone on the table was looking at me because it was the middle of summer and you could actually die of heat stroke if you step outside in the bright ass sun.

Hunter just gave me a look.

Did I tell you, I am not good with looks?

Danny, out of all the things, you thought about relying on your social skills?

Do something else.

So I did the next most normal thing.

I hit his leg.

"Ow." Wrong person. Everyone looked at Kyle.

"What happened man?" It was Ethan.

Kyle looked at me. I tried to tell him what was going on here through my eyes but it was pure useless.

I don't know how he got the clue because what I think, I was probably looking like a cartoon.

"I think a bee stung me or something." He said rubbing his leg. I know nobody believed him.

Brody was on another level of confusion right now. He was looking very intensely at Hunter. He didn't even touch his lunch and was just watching Hunter eat. To us it was the whole other level of bromance.

Hunter looked up to see Brody staring at him and gave him a confused look.

Even his confusion face is sexy.

I might say he does look good today. He looked fresh. With that black shirt and light jeans and those vans. But he is awfully quiet today. He hasn't looked at me once, forget about talking.

Was I that bad? Did I treat him that awful? I know I did, but he should at least give me a chance to say sorry to him.

He is acting like I ran away with his kidney or something.

I kept looking at him. Not once did he look at me. He was either looking down at his food, which I don't think is that interesting, or he is looking at his side talking to either Kyle or Brody.

His eyes fell on mine for once and he quickly looked other way before I could say anything.

Mission: make it up to Hunter, is failing miserably.

School ended. Feels like this was the longest day so far. I was waiting for Damien outside and then I have to go to Jake's house to tutor him. I got a text on my phone from Damien telling me that he has got detention after school.

Great.

So I am walking now.

Wait.

So I have to walk to Jake's house??

It will take me like half an hour from here and I really don't have much energy left after chasing Hunter all day long, which was of no use if I might add.

I am still invisible to him.

HONK!!!!!

I screamed.

I fell.

He came out of the car.

I looked up.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

No.

My heart just fell out.

And my butt hurts.

So now he's talking to me?

Am I alright? Think Danny think fast.

Possibility one.

"I am fine, Hunter."

"Oh!! Alright then, bye." And then he will get inside his truck and will go home and back to ignoring me.

Possibility two.

"Oh my god it hurts so much." Me crying in pain.

"Let me take a look." And then

BAM!! I will say my sorry and looking at my hurt self he will have no choice left just to forgive me.

Well I like the latter one better.

But I have to look like I got my ankle sprained. How do you do that? I am not very athletic so I never got any bad injuries but I remember Damien getting those, but I don't think screaming bloody hell on the top of my lungs and abusing random strangers is going to help here.

I looked up at him. He was already looking down at me. He had an unreadable expression on his face. All of a sudden a boy came out of his truck. Slamming the door really hard in the process, making me flinch.

I looked at the new face. I think his name is Dustin. He is in the football team with Hunter and my brother.

"What happened man?" He asked Hunter and gave me a look. Grey eyes, dark blonde hair, very athletic body.

He smiled at me when he saw me and bent down to my level.

"Hey cutie, are you hurt?" He asked flirtatiously. He winked at me and Hunter was just staring down at me. I don't know what to say.

Why do I go mute around people? See this is the kind of social skill I was talking about.

Both of them are looking at me now and waiting for some kind of answer from me. Think Danny, think.

Time to show your acting skills, I guess.

"Owww."

I fake screamed and tried getting up but somehow I lost my balance and Hunter caught my hands the right moment.

"You are hurt." He looked at me with seriousness.

Time to act natural. "I am fine." I told him and tried walking, acting like it's hurting me with each step.

"You are not fine Danny." He said Danny, he said Dan-

"Sorry, Daniella."

Spoke too soon.

"Let me help you." Is he offering to give me a lift?

Dustin was looking at us in confusion. Hunter took Dustin to a side and said, I don't know what, but he just nodded his head and went inside to sit in the truck.

This is settled then. He is giving me a lift home.

I really should prepare my speech, what I have to say, how am I go to say sorry. I don't care if I have to say that in front of Dustin.

And once when I'll be done with my sorry speech, I will immediately rip out the tickets that are sitting in my bag.

He will forgive me the moment he'll see the tickets.

This is perfect.

...............................................................

This is hopeless

I am riding back home with Martha in her red Beetle.

He called Martha.

He called her and told her to pick me up because I had an 'incident' and he can't drop me off because he is not going in the same direction.

I am pretty sure he is though.

That imbecile.

How could he?

He couldn't even give me a lift?

I am going kill him.

How dare he call her. Now she wouldn't let me go to Jake's even, because of my stupid fake injury.

And I am pretty sure she is going to make me her famous chicken soup.

I am telling you, that thing is devastating. It tastes like everything except chicken.

If anyone in the house ever gets sick or has any kind of injury, they have to eat that thing. That is why we are always dreading to get sick at any cost.

Damien is the only who has eaten that soup more then once and that is why I think he now plays very carefully during his football matches.

This is bad.

Today was the worst. I hate it.

I got a fake ankle twist.

I couldn't go to Jake's.

I practically stalked Hunter everywhere.

And my Mission flopped.

I am the worst soldier ever.

.........................................................

I am sitting in my bedroom with the soup on my lap and a bandage on my ankle. Jake called me in the evening to know why I didn't show up today and when I told him about my ankle tragedy he understood pretty well.

I told him that if he wants, I can tutor him in the school library tomorrow.

Just me making up for today. And he agreed.

Isn't he the sweetest?

I have to pee.

I went to the bathroom. And almost got the safety pin from the bandage dug into my flesh in the process.

The pin offers no safety what so ever.

When I came back I gave a side look to my window. I was curious to what Hunter might be doing.

He was not there in his bedroom but his window was open. I don't know why but I just didn't want my mission to flop.

I crawled to my backpack and took out the two tickets from it.

I think I have an idea.

I went to my window.

I think I am going to get pretty badly hurt and for real this time.

Comment please and add this story.

it means a lot.

a new chapter will be uploaded in two days :)

love you guys.
