Private School for Love

Chloe exited through the automatic doors at the entrance of the school as she played with her hair. It was in a ponytail, which was a new sight to Danni, but she soon pulled off the band around the tail and let her hair flow down to its natural length just below her shoulders as she whipped it clean of any tangled(tangles) or knots. The light from the setting sun gave off a dark orange glow that contrasted with her bright golden hair that managed to even outshine the sun. The light beams bounced around and close to her but avoided her directly as if they were afraid to darken or damager(damage) her beautifully white skin. She played with the creases in her uniform and fluffed it out before she turned her attention to Danni and offered the most gentlest of smiles.

“Did Blake tell you to ask that question?” All happiness and kindness had been sucked out of Chloe in the breath(breath? What are you saying here?) few seconds of silence after the asking of the question. Her voice was cold and somewhat irritated with the question.

“Yes” Danni looked down guiltily but glanced above the rim of her glasses to see Chloe had turned back to her with eyes full of tears and a bright smile on her face. Never before had she seen Chloe make anything close to that expression in the short time they had known each-other(the hyphen is unnecessary), it was slightly off putting and gave rise to even more anxiety within her being, clearly something did happen with this Jazmine person. The smile on Chloe’s face seemed to reflect something, of both grief and love, a very odd combination to say the least.

“I love you Chloe…” Danni leaned on Chloe’s shoulder and gently stroked her arm below with her free hand. And it was true, beyond true, Danni couldn’t imagine sharing this tender moment with anyone else. It was still odd and didn’t make a(remove 'a') much sense to her but it was a happy confusion, one she wouldn’t trade for anything.

The building itself was a marble white building with balconies on each and every side of the building with sliding windows that acted as doors which connected the balcony to the insidesimplied.(This sentence makes my head spin) Danni couldn’t see that far in because of the angle she and Chloe was stood at, but she more or less could assume what the interior was like. From the spacing between each balcony and the width of each balcony she could easily tell the rooms themselves were quite large.

“Couldn’t help myself, when you apologise you look so cute Jazmine-!” Chloe began saying but caught herself on the final word of her sentence and bit down on her lip in frustration. Her shoulders shook and she let go of Danni’s hand so she could clench her own tightly to the point where her skin would go pale. “Sorry…it’s just…” Chloe took a short second to breathe in an out in a calming fashion before returning to face Danni, except her eyes looked away guiltily “I was just thinking about her that’s all…no more substance to it than that…just…a lot of memories came back at once…” Chloe dried her eyes and led Danni through the revolving doors of the building. Danni still wasn’t sure of what to make of the situation, Chloe’s own confession of love felt genuine to her but at the same time what Chloe had just said left her wondering more and more what had happened between Melanie and Chloe and if Chloe felt a stronger love or not for Melanie than she did for Danni herself.(Do you mean Jazmine and Chloe?)

Chloe now walked ahead of Danni like they had done previously on their walk, always staying several paces ahead of Danni and keeping them perpetually in the same formation by their linked hands, although at this point it was more like Chloe was dragging Dannie by her wrist. The first room of the building was the lobby, off to the sides of the room was some expensive looking red-velvet sofa’s and armchairs that guests could use to sit around, using the coffee table in the centre of these variously placed furniture to rest their drinks if necessary. At the back of the room was a semi-circular desk that was manned by several men and women whom were well-dressed in smart clothing. They all sat at computers and typed in information whilst helping guests, most likely to find their rooms or provide other useful information, Chloe didn’t stick around long enough for Danni to get a decent amount of time to listen in and discern what was being said. (A second line is needed here, the paragraphs blend together.)
As Danni was lead through the long hallway, she noticed how expensive and exquisite looking the halls and furniture was(were), pillars and professional paintings lined the golden walls with professional paintings lining either wall on her sides. Regardless of this, Chloe took Danni to the side of the semi-circular check-in desk to where an elevator waited with nobody in it. It had a railing surrounding its walls with mirrors on the upper half of the walls.

Chloe pressed a button labelled(labeled) †˜6’ and waited for the elevator to rumble into action before rising upwards to the floor in question. They stood in absolute silence as Chloe kept her gaze fixed solely on the ground below with the bangs of her hair casting a shadow over the upper half of her face as well as covering it as well. Despite this though, Danni could easily tell it was not a happy or proud expression like Chloe would normally wear, even on their walk to this building she had still worn an expression of pride despite the fact she had been shedding some tears. But it no longer remained and now only a look of guilt remained(already said 'remained' just a couple words ago, consider 'was present' or some other way).

After what seemed like minutes of unbearable silence, the elevator dinged and the doors split apart for the two of them to exit. A long hall stretched before them with doors placed along the walls like you would expect from a hotel or apartment complex, except there was only 3-4 doors along a hallway that was easily 30-40 metres in length. At the end of the hall the path divided into two separate halls moving in opposite directions. Chloe grasped Danni and brought her halfway down the hall. before sStopping at a door numbered †˜6-3’, andshe took out a golden key beforethat unlockinged the door and openinged it.(Try to stay in past tense.)

Inside was an exceptionally large apartment. Directly insideThere was a coffee table with several pillows led around it for sitting, or so Danni presumed. Off to the right of that was a small kitchen area with a refrigerator, counters, dishwasher, oven and cabinets overhead(So...a kitchen? I love being specific in details, but I think these things being present are clear when you say "a small kitchen area"). The rest of the room was relatively bear except for a desk in the corner with lots of papers piled messily on it in addition to the same situation with pens and pencils. Finally at the back of the room was two armchairs in front of a television. They didn’t remain in the room for too long for Danni to think too deeply about the connotations of the apartment except for the fact that Chloe must have had some rich parents in order to afford such a nice looking and large apartment.


“No. My Uncle was the one who paid for this apartment” Chloe took a deep breath before looking over her shoulder at Danni “My parents died shortly after I was born. I’ve been on my own ever since because my Uncle works oversees (overseas)"

Danni felt herself gasp a little at the thought, the more she learnt about Chloe the more tragic everything seemed. Firstly someone who was once considered her friend betrayed her, something happened to the first person she loved and now she had been alone all this time without family? How could she walk around with a smile on her face? She seemed more like the figure who should be acting cold and distant like Blake and yet she shouldered all this pain with a smile. It seemed crazy and yet…somewhat admirable. Admirable to be able to keep up such a kind demeanour despite such a terrible history.(Sentence fragment)

Inside was the picture of a girl, she wore a different school uniform to what Danni and Chloe were wearing, that was what she first noticed. What she then noticed was the figure of the girl, she looked somewhat athletic with a nice think(thin) figure with long legs and a small bust. She had long silver hair that reached the end of her back and sparkled in the light of the photo. She looked happy but very pale, beyond the pale any regular human should be. But she was still incredibly beautiful with perfectly proportioned features and a warm amiability that existed even in the form of a photo.

“Danni…this is Jazmine…or what I have left of her anyway…” Chloe said with sadness, but a sadness that she had come to accept rather than one that would debilitate her with depression, clearly she had already moved forwards and Danni was experiencing the aftermath of whatever happened. Chloe sat down on the edge of her bed and beckoned Danni to join her,. oOnce Danni sat down, Chloe reached out for a box of tissues and placed them between them. “Let me explain. From the start. (Another line needed after this.)
For most of my life when I had free time, I would go down to the local park and sit on a bench. All I would do is watch people and observe what they did; having fun, spending time together and everything else. You learn so much from just watching other people, their idiosyncrasies and patterns, how to be social among other things. It was fun for me to observe and learn like this. And then one day someone kicked a ball my way and it hit my arm. I looked over and saw Blake with a timid and shy girl by her side…” Chloe looked over and took Danni’s hand in her own “Quite like yourself” The thought made Chloe chuckle a bit and brought life and happiness back to her face “That was Jazmine. The three of us became very close and the best of friends in our childhood. But I and Jazmine(Jazmine and I) were closer than any of those amongst us, we were very close to each-other and eventually…we fell in love. But like everything else in my life…something had to go wrong…Jazmine had a rare disease where at any time in her life all her internal (organs) could shut down randomly and kill her. Not all at once of course. One day her kidneys began to shut down,. fFortunately, we could give her a new kidney and save her. And only one of us was a match for her…” Chloe took off her cardigan, sweater vest and then began unbuttoning her shirt before pulling it to one side to reveal a long scar bending along the side of her stomach. “But another organ failed during the surgery that made it all for naught: Her brain. They managed to put my kidney back inside me but…this scar…will always remind me that not even I could save Jazmine…even if I gave her a piece of myself” Chloe took a tissue and wiped her eyes clean of tears before giving a few to Danni, who was crying fountains of tears and hiccupping(hiccuping) from her crying.

“Yes. It was very sad. But I think it was the best way she could have gone. Thinking that I was going to sacrifice a whole piece of myself for her and hearing these last words…” Chloe picked up Danni’s head and looked longingly into her eyes “I love you” and then their lips softly connected with their tongues trading blows and saliva. “It hurt me for a long time. But when I saw you for the first time…I had that same feeling of when I first knew I loved Jazmine. My chest tightened and my hands shook. Danni: I love you now. Nobody else matters to me. Just you” She kissed Danni’s head and made her way downwards before sharing a deep and impactful kiss that left Danni gasping for air. Chloe rolled Danni onto her back and straddled her by the waist before placing her hands either side of Danni’s head and brought herself closer.(period) “Can I show you how much I love you?” Chloe asked.

Danni felt trapped, both physically and emotionally. With Chloe being on top of her and having her hands placed either side of her all means of escape were cut off. But she didn’t want to escape, she wanted to be enveloped in Chloe’s love for all eternity. Sweat slowly dripped down her body and her chest heaved up and down whilst her body grew itchier with desire as each second passed. “Yes…I want to know all your love Chloe…” Danni begged and wrapped her arms around Chloe’s head to bring her into another sensual kiss, causing her saliva to leak out the corner of her mouth as their tongues sloshed against each-other, almost like they were competing to see who could kiss better. Despite Danni’s efforts, up to a few days ago she had never kissed anyone whereas Chloe had Jazmine. So she was always on the loosing(losing) end. Danni began to moan from Chloe licking down her neck and kissing it at certain points, leaving her mark behind, she then moved back up to Danni’s head and nibbled on her earlobe and licked the inside of her ear. Heat erupted from within Danni, causing her legs to spasm in reaction. “Chloe!” She moaned as her entire face turned red with embarrassment after the convulsions of her hips had stopped and she had stopped writhing in pleasure.

Chloe immediately understood what this had meant but decided against teasing given how it was Danni’s first time and wasn’t expected to have the longest endurance ever. She led by Danni’s side and cradled Danni’s head in her naked chest “There, there. No need to be frustrated. Happens to everyone” Danni eventually rolled back over and rubbed her cheek against Chloe’s soft bosom. Chloe took the chance to move her hand down and underneath Danni’s skirt and panties before finding the now hard node at the top of her vagina. Danni immediately gasped as (she) pressed her face hard into Chloe’s chest from the electric surge being sent up her body in response to Chloe’s light teasing of her clit before moving her way lower to slowly stroke the folds and lips below, sometimes spreading them the(to) tease the pink innards of Danni’s vagina.(This sentence goes on way too long, needs revision.)

“D-Don’t tease me…” Danni said and looked down in embarrassment. Chloe nodded as she moved both hands under Danni’s skirt and removed Danni’s(her) silk-white panties and tossed them over the bed before straddling her waist again. Danni unzipped the side of Chloe’s skirt and watched in(it) fall to one side as she eyed Chloe’s black cotton panties,(period). sShe brushed the back of her fingers against them and took in the softness wondering all the while what Chloe’s skin felt like down there?(The question mark is unnecessary. There is no question being asked. It is a statement of wonder.) Chloe manoeuvred(maneuvered) herself lower until her head was level with Danni’s pelvic region. She unzipped Danni’s skirt and threw it away as Danni took off her sweater-vest and unbuttoned her shirt to relieve herself of the intense heat her body was now giving off. Chloe eyed Danni’s vagina that was now glistening with moistness. Her lubrication ran all along the inner segment of her thighs and had begun to drip onto the bed itself. An oddly sweat scent was coming off from the region and Chloe stuck her mouth onto the region(region was just used a couple words ago, I would find an alternative.) and began licking the folds of her vagina while slowly caressing her clit. Danni writhed and held onto the blanket of Chloe’s bed as each lick from Chloe’s tongue sent off a small explosion of pleasure all over her body every time(You already said "each lick" so "every time" is redundant.). Eventually she felt the feeling of pleasure and euphoria build up to the point where she couldn’t take it anymore. Her hips tightened, and her eyes began to roll back and her entire body went numb before she was washed over in a feeling of pure joy and happiness.

Danni was left in a state where she was gasping for air, her eyes were glazed over from the euphoria and her hair was frazzled. Chloe crawled over to her as she rested her head next to Danni’s, and entwined their fingers and pressed their palms together as they shared an intimate smile and giggle before a romantic kiss that lasted for ages.

“And I love you even more” Chloe said and closed her own eyes, but not before stealing a glance at the picture by her window, and letting out a bright smile “Thanks Jazz, I won’t forget you or what we shared but…” She looked down to Danni’s sleeping figure in all its perfection “I love her now” Chloe admitted and closed her eyes, and drifteding off to sleep.

Danni sat in the centre of a long table with golden coloured cloth draped over it that matched both the sparkling walls and carpet behind and below her. The sparkling nature of these walls were so dazzling and elegant in their mesmerising nature that they almost made Danni believe that they were made of actual gold harvested from the greatest depths of the Earth themselves. But she knew better than that, obviously it was just a remarkable paint, but beautiful and inspiring nevertheless.

Danni sat in a pure white sleeveless dress that ended in a skirt just around her knees, she was smiling nervously as Chloe placed a small tiara upon her head and clasped her hands together in joy at the sight of the potentially over-exaggerated piece of attire that she had placed on Danni’s head. The silver and crystal gems sparkled in the dim light of the room that they found themselves in.

“Perfect!” Chloe exclaimed “The birthday girl is now ready for her birthday dinner!” Chloe announced as all of Danni’s friends and family applauded in response. Everyone was dressed in either tuxedos, suits, or variations of dresses that paled in comparison to the soft and well-tailored material that made of Danni’s frilly dress.

“C-Chloe…don’t you think this is a bit much?” Danni asked with a slightly nervous chuckle while gently nudging her tiara a bit to the side as to almost try and hide it away from Chloe’s side of the table.

A soft punch rattled to arm of Danni and she yelped in shock as she turned to see Blake staring at her “Oh live a little! This is the one day a year the whole world has to revolve around you, enjoy it” Blake said with a twinge of frustration but managed to hold back most of her usual disgruntled personality, most likely for Danni and the occasion itself. Funnily enough, the ruby red suit and skirt that Blake seemed to wear made her oddly beautiful, it distinctly contrasted her combination of punk-school styled that she usually donned on an everyday basis. Although she looked slightly uncomfortable in it.

“R-Right…sorry…” Danni rubbed her arm of the pain as she sighed at sat up straight with her hands on her knees as Chloe kissed the side of her cheek soon after. Danni lost what little composure she had acquired in the brief moment after Blake had finished talking as her face blushed up in response to the warm sensation of Chloe’s lips gently brushing against her cheek. “C-Chloe?!” Danni said in response and Chloe brought her lips close to Danni’s ear and breathed teasingly against it.

“Wait till later tonight, I have a special gift for you my love” Chloe said and drew back with a devious smirk written across her face, she traced her finger across it in a seductive way and chuckled to herself.

“Jesus Christ Chloe, can you keep it to yourself for once?” Blake complained and Chloe turned away from her in an almost pouting way.

“At least I can be kind and considerate towards my lover” Chloe retorted and Blake’s eyes shot wide with rage. The two girls either side of Danni pulled themselves face-to-face right in front of Danni as they had a stare off.

“Want to say that again?!” Blake’s bottom lip trembled in anger as Chloe raised a single
eyebrow in response.

“Did I strike a nerve?” Chloe said and smirked, the two looked like they were about to come to blows when Danni parted them away by getting in between.

“P-Please don’t fight! You two just forgave each-other! You’re both fantastic partners, so there’s no reason to fight! Especially since it’s my birthday…” Danni said and Blake sat herself back down.

“Fine, whatever” Blake played with her fork by tapping it against her plate and Chloe sat back and folded her arms.

“Well I suppose I should apologise for insulting you” Chloe said.

“Oh good, you’re not completely devoid of social protocol” Blake said snidely back.

“STOP!” Melanie yelled from besides Blake and pulled on her ear as punishment “You need a time-out! No talking for 10 minutes!” Melanie said and Blake began to argue back, but upon seeing Melanie’s fiery eyes, she decided it was probably best not to continue.


Some time passed on towards the end of the dinner when the waiters of the restaurant they found themselves in brought over a silver platter with a three layered chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavoured cake with a single candle placed on the top final layer. The lights completely shut off inside the building with the candle giving off the only light inside the building. Some light entered through the glass plains from the street-lights outside but it was still fairly hard for Danni to see far in front of herself. The platter and cake were placed in front of her. The whole audience of the restaurant rose onto their feet and begun to sing “Happy Birthday!” to the young foreigner who sat there with mixed feelings of embarrassment and happiness. She had finally had what every child had taken for granted, a room full of friends singing her a happy birthday. She was truly, finally fulfilling that dream she had so desired. This happiness was given the physical representation of tears of joy that rolled down her face and dropped onto the candle and extinguished the flame below.

What came next? I’ll leave that up to the imagination of the reader of course. But it doesn’t take a genius to tell Chloe had something planned for that night.

Soft light slowly began to shine through the curtains of Chloe’s room, it basked the two girls besides each-other in a gentle warmth as it slowly spread over their naked forms. The warmth slowly began to rock Danni from her slumber, she found a high-pitched yawn escape her pink lips and her eyes soon opened to see Chloe resting on her side. Eyes firmly fixed back on Danni, eyes that twinkled a perfect beauty with their emerald nature.

The whole situation felt a little surreal: the flawless warmth alongside Chloe’s soft smile and sparkling eyes all seemed too good to be true. In response to her fears Danni shut her eyes from the light and tightly grasped the blanket beneath her and begged quietly to herself that it was all entirely true. Upon opening her eyes she saw Chloe’s form unmoved and as consistent as a mountain, with the only change being a thin smirk streaked across her face. Her hand moved outwards and caressed the side of Danni’s face, feeling the soft sensation of her skin. Danni nuzzled into the hand that touched her and let her round cheeks absorb all of the sensation it could give her. What was almost odd was how previously the same hand had sent explosions and arcs of electricity all over her body, but now it only offered a calming feeling.


“Good morning…” Chloe said quietly as she threw the blanket over the two of them and pressed her body into Danni’s after Dani had rolled over “Don’t want us getting cold now, do we?” She supressed a chuckle which immediately told Danni that Chloe had some kind of ulterior motive behind pulling them so close together. Not that it mattered. It was too comfortable to end any time soon.

“It was your fault we fell asleep without the blanket…or pyjamas for that matter” Danni giggled to herself and Chloe joined in as she pressed their bodies together even tighter until Danni could feel Chloe’s soft breasts pressed up against the top of her back. But more importantly than even that was what Danni could feel through them: Chloe’s erratic heartbeat.

“Sorry…guess I got a bit carried away” Chloe apologised and kissed the back of Danni’s ear, causing her to spasm in shock at the sudden stimulation. As she turned round to pout at Chloe for unfairly attacking her, she noticed Chloe had already stood up and had begun to start folding their clothing from the previous night that had been carelessly tossed onto the floor.

“Ah…” Danni realised the piece of clothing that Chloe had gone for and immediately looked down in embarrassment as her cheeks flushed completely red. Chloe picked up Danni’s panties from the previous night and had noticed that her once thick and moist juices had dried in place making them unusable to Danni until they had been thoroughly washed.

“I see…” Chloe looked at them for perhaps longer than she needed and inspected them equally so, occasionally smiling to herself as she did so. “Well you can always borrow a pair of mine; no big deal” Chloe rifled through her drawers in a nearby wardrobe to find a pair of panties that somewhat matched Danni’s from the previous night. She then hopped onto the bed and crawled her way over to Danni “Mind if I put them on you?” Chloe said eyes that couldn’t be denied, full of perverted and yet loving thoughts.

Danni nodded but refused to look in Chloe’s direction as she slowly brought them up towards her hips and let them rest in place perfectly in position before slowly letting her hands retreat back down. But not before she let her fingertips lightly trace down Danni’s thighs. “Y-You’re kinda perverted Chloe…” Danni admitted as Chloe drew in closer and knelt above Danni, who now literally had her back against the wall at the end of the bed. Danni grew increasingly nervous as Chloe drew in closer to her with half closed eyes and slower breathing than before.

“Yeah but…if I wasn’t…” Before she finished her sentence she pressed their lips together, both girls closing their eyes and letting their tongues softly glide over each-other in a more loving way than the previous night. A kiss to confirm love rather than to express lust, but that didn’t stop Danni from panting after a kiss as light as that. Her heart had begun racing even quicker than before, as it always did when they would share an intimate moment together. “…then we couldn’t share moments like that” Chloe finished off her sentence but Danni was hardly listening as she wrapped her arms around her and had Chloe lay on top of her like some soft and warm blanket. After a few moments like that, Chloe pressed their foreheads together “I love you” Chloe went about kissing all over Danni’s cheeks, nose, lips and forehead to express her love. Chloe shot a look at her clock to inspect the time, it was coming up to 7 o’clock. Unfortunately it made her realise that they would have to end their embrace and prepare for the school day. Chloe forced herself to draw off of Danni momentarily to sort out her hair by flinging the strands that had fallen forwards from behind her head.

“I suppose I don’t mind then…about you being perverted I mean…” Danni stood up with a blushed face and Chloe smirked to herself at the sight of Danni’s awkward expression. “I love you too…” Danni whispered to herself as she finished buttoning up her shirt and pulling up her skirt around her pale white thighs. Chloe just about overheard the silent declaration of love, but decided to save her teasing. The soft words gently escaped Danni’s mouth almost by themselves, but it didn’t change their intent or how happily embarrassed the admission always made her feel.


The two girls walked to school that day, hand in hand over the shinning sun with clouds that dotted the sky, while occasionally passing overhead. Almost as if the clouds themselves wanted to share in the embrace of the two girls as they joined hands and entwined fingers in an unconscious way. Neither instigated the deft movement or gave any thought towards doing it. They simply moved towards another at the same time and sensed the warm sensation of heat being generated from each-others body’s through that simple interaction of their soft skin touching. It was odd, but such a miniscule act of mutual feelings could evoke so much love from within Danni. How she could fall so heavily in love with Chloe in such a small amount of time was perplexing to her to say the least. Not that it mattered in the slightest as to why it had happened or how quickly it had occurred at all. She was happy.

Danni looked into the sky and saw grey clouds move in overhead “I wonder if it will rain today?” she said quietly and Chloe tilted her head with a typical smile persisting along her face.

“That would be a shame, but…as long as I’m with you I don’t mind what the weather is like” Chloe said with a bright look on her face. They both looked flushed at Chloe’s words, except there was there was an obvious difference between the two. While Chloe proudly wore her smile through her embarrassment, Danni tried to shield her face by looking down. Whilst this was not a new revelation to anyone who knew either of them, it made Danni feel more insecure. She focused on it perhaps a little too long and made her feel guilty over how she responded. She felt as if it was almost offensive towards her lover to act like this.

“I wish I wasn’t so nervous about things like this…I hate being so useless at properly expressing myself…” Danni pouted and made herself look somewhat pitiful by looking down towards the ground with a hard stare.

Chloe tapped Danni on the head with her fist, which made Danni’s knees buckle for a second in response to the stimulation before she stood up straight again, confused as to why Chloe had hit her (if only gently). “Don’t go around speaking so ill of the girl I love” Chloe lost her smile, she now looked deadly serious. The kind of look that didn’t stand for any other opinion and demanded to be listened to. “Maybe sometimes your nervousness can get a little frustrating, maybe it doesn’t always aid our relationship in a positive way. But you know what? It’s what makes you who you are! And that is the person I fell in love with. So don’t speak about changing yourself!” Chloe held up Danni’s hand as she narrowed the distance between them, still keeping that harsh look present in her eyes. “Because I’ll keep hold of you forever, and I’ll be confident enough for the both of us” she said, now with a determined smile and softly kissed Danni’s lips.

“Wow…I never took you as someone who could yell like that…” Danni said with a slightly shocked face.

Chloe spun on her heels and began leading Danni forward with her own pace that happened to be much quicker than previously, almost so quick that Danni almost tripped a few times. “Of course! You don’t get to be President by just smiling and giggling to yourself all day; you have to take action!!!” Chloe yelled as they topped the steps that lead up to the schools doors.

“Someone should realise when they’re breaking the rules they are so determined to enforce…” Chloe and Danni turned to see the familiar figure of Melanie stood by the side of the building with a less-than-impressed look on her face at Chloe’s yelling. She walked over to the two of them and grasped onto Danni’s arm, yanking it from Chloe without much warning “I need to speak to this one about something Miss President. I hope you can be without her for a few minutes. And you should remember about on-sight romance and how it is banned” Melanie said and took Danni up the stairs towards the schools second floor.

“This coming from the girl getting eaten-out by the schools number one nuisance? At least I could wait till I got home to do that…can anyone say hypocrisy?” Chloe said with a disappointed look, as her body lurched forward in a similar way, at being left alone.


Melanie leaned her back against the wall at the top of the stairs where she and Danni had talked for the first time and had agreed to try and repair the relationship between Blake and Chloe. She gasped a little after sprinting up the stairs whilst leading Danni along too. “Sorry about that…but if either of them knew what we were attempting then I would expect it would only work against us” Melanie explained as she stood up straight. “I think…the sooner we try to get them to make up the better. So I have an idea…” Melanie shot a devious smile along her face.

Danni’s eyes widened in interest “Okay, what’s the plan then?”

“You’re probably going to roll your eyes at this…it’s kind of an overused concept. But what we are going to do is convince them to come to your homeroom after the day is finished, make up some excuse like you forgot a calculator or something. Once we have them there we’ll block the door and force them to talk it out” Melanie explained her idea.

Danni gave it some serious thought, weighing up the pros and cons of the plan as well as if it will seriously work or not “No offense but it sounds…really childish” Danni’s words seemed to strike Melanie hard as she almost toppled over.

“Ch-Childish?! What in the Hell do you mean by that?!”

“Well it seems like a stereotypical manoeuvre is all; like something from a kids TV show. Plus just the two of them talking about it could actually make things worse…” Danni thought deeply for a moment “But I can’t think of anything better. Looks like it’s our only option” Danni said with a nervous laughter over her inability to think of a half-decent plan.

“And here I was thinking you were meant to be some kind of intelligent girl…” Melanie sighed in frustration “So are you in or out?” Melanie asked.

“Sure. Let’s do our best!” The two girls shook hands s they agreed on using the plan Melanie had come up with, although Danni had serious worries over whether or not it would work. From what she had seen between the previous argument between Chloe and Blake, it didn’t seem like something that could be so simply sorted out, especially with a conversation. Still, they had to do something. The foundation of their friendship surrounded the idea that friends couldn’t come to hate each-other like that, and Danni especially didn’t like to see Chloe with such a hateful look or spouting such despicable words towards someone. So she had to do something about it, and unless she could think of a better plan than this it was her only option.


So the time came. Melanie and Danni split immediately after deciding the time at which to execute their not-so-cunning plan. As soon as the day ended, Danni purposefully left her backpack under the table and waited on the small wall by the steps that lead down from the school. Or up, depending on how one was using them. She nervously tapped the heels and tips of her school loafers together waiting for Chloe to show up. Eventually the automatic doors spread apart at the sudden appearance of an angel. Her long blonde hair shimmering in the sunlight as the air pressure between the doors forced her hair to shoot all over the place as light reflected off every strand, giving it a unique beauty unknown to anyone else’s vision. Small droplets of water along the ends of her hair only intensified the shimmering nature of Chloe’s hair. It was obvious to Danni that Chloe had been in some kind of physical education class last, as her curvy yet athletic figure was drenched in sweat. Her uniform clung to her body and had become somewhat transparent in the process of being moistened. It looked oddly sensual, which caused Danni to momentarily lose focus on what she had been planning to tell Chloe. Instead, animalistic urges overcame her thoughts and tempted her to dive upon Chloe and rip her teasing clothing off before moving on to lick every drop of sweat off her body (and then some). However, despite this she managed to regain her self-control and remembered what her objective was.

“Hey there Danni, looks like we won’t get rain” Chloe commented as she wiped several beads of sweat off of her brow. For a singular moment, still trying to sort out how to speak as she pushed her urges to one side, Danni was still speechless and only responded in confusion:

“Eh? Wha…”

“Y’know, this morning? On our way to school?” Chloe tried reminding Danni subtly of their previous conversation about the darkened clouds they had noticed. A fact Danni herself had brought up no less. “Wow, you really ARE a scatterbrain huh?” She flicked Danni’s head in light teasing and giggled. Chloe looked down at the absence of a bag by Danni’s feat and raised an eyebrow and smirked on one side of her face. An almost devious intent was behind that look. “Wow…you truly are hopeless Miss Wakeland-Ulistani!” Chloe grabbed her stomach with both arms and attempted to contain her laughter, but ultimately failed.

“WH-What are you talking about?!” Danni regained some coherency in her general being and managed to ask the question with blushed cheeks and a pouting expression.

“You forgot your bag dummy!” Chloe pointed to Danni’s feat where of course (and just as planned) there was no bag. Chloe took a deep sigh of enjoyment out of her laughter and wiped a tear from her eye “We better go back and get your bag huh?” Chloe held out her hand, offering to raise Danni to her feet and escort her to go and retrieve her belongings. A wry smile momentarily appeared along Danni’s lips, but just as quickly departed.

“Yeah, I guess we should…” Danni said and took the hand that had been offered to her before the two of them headed back into the school.


They reached the door to the music room. Low murmurings could be heard from within. This caused a change in the atmosphere surrounding Chloe. She looked very cautious, taking on a stance befit of a warrior about to charge into enemy territory. Nevertheless she placed her hand on the door handle and gently turned it to open it before, in one deft movement, flung the door open and jumped into the fray. Danni quickly followed and made sure to place herself in between the doorway as so no-one could escape, making sure to have her hand ready to slam the door shut just in case.

Although the scene inside the room was a peculiar one to say the least. Inside was Melanie lead over a table with one leg on the ground and one lifted into the air. Her shirt was partly undone with small hickies placed all over her bare chest. In between her spread legs (still with clothing on) was Blake, bent over her with both hands placed either side of Melanie’s head that was resting on the table. Simply put, once again Danni had walked on Blake and Melanie in the midst of sex. Albeit the early stages where little to no clothing had been removed. Blake’s expression was a curious one, as per usual she looked somewhat angry. But a state of confusion and disbelief also mixed into it. She looked to Chloe, then to Danni, back to Chloe and then finally rested her curious expression onto Melanie. Who by this point had turned her head away and looked pleased with herself.

“I thought you said you locked the door?” Blake inquired.

“I lied. All part of my brilliant plan” Melanie shrugged and sat up as Blake moved off of her. She then went about indifferently buttoning up her shirt.

“’Brilliant’ is a bit subjective at this point…” Danni said as she rolled her eyes.

“We’ll have to see how everything plays out my partner in crime. Everything seems to be going well, they’ve gone a whole 30 seconds without slandering each-other” Melanie said and walked over to Danni’s side as the latter shut the door behind them as Melanie took out a silver key, slotted it into the door: locking it.

“What are you two up to?” Blake asked sounding defensive. Whilst Blake questioned the scenario, Chloe looked slightly frustrated with herself, as if falling for such a simple ruse insulted her in some way.

“Don’t bother Blake. It’s pretty obvious given the situation we find ourselves in” Chloe said as she changed her countenance from her usual bubbly persona to that of a darker, antagonistic one. “They obviously have the agenda of trying to make us forgive each-other” Chloe managed to discern pretty quickly and Blake eased up slightly. The whole change from Blake looking softer and Chloe looking harsher was not what Danni expected. She had assumed it would be the other way around.

“Oh…I thought you would try that sooner or later…” Blake looked up towards Danni as she spoke quieter than usual “Well I guess I should-” Blake began.

“No! I’ll be the one to explain it all” Chloe said cutting Blake off, who looked surprised by Chloe deciding such a thing. “Whilst I may lack some of the finer details over the predicament Blake and I find ourselves in, I know more than I let on. What happened between us took place shortly…after Jazmine’s death…” Chloe’s entire body seemed to ease up slightly at the mention of Jazmine’s name. Her darker look turned to a troubled and weary one. “Blake most likely decided to become someone who I hated to take my mind off of all the pain surrounding Jazmine since the sadness of losing Jazmine would most likely have made me suicidal. But if I was focused on beating her and obtaining the rank of School President, then that sadness would almost be secondary. Anger is much easier to deal with than sadness…” Blake folded her arms and looked somewhat defeated.

“Yeah, yeah. Guess I should’ve expected you to figure it out…” Blake shrugged and looked away as her darker expression returned to her face.

“Wait!” Danni yelled “If that’s all true, and you only did it to help Chloe…THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU NOT TRY AND SUPPORT HER LIKE A FRIEND?!” Danni yelled with clenched fists, her own feelings of rage bubbling up to the surface.

Blake snorted and gave out a little chuckle to herself “Danni, you’ve had some time to get to know me by now. Do I seem like the kind of person who could effectively quell someone’s depression by saying †˜There, there, everything will be fine!’? Because I’m not. I knew if I tried that I would end up making things worse for Miss Bitch over here” Blake gestured with her head to Chloe.

“Hey!” Chloe yelled in protest.

“Whatever. I knew I had to do something. I was her friend, so I wasn’t willing to stand by and watch her give in to her depressive emotions. So I did the only thing I could…give her an even stronger emotion to keep her going and overshadow her sadness” Blake explained. “It may seem stupid, trivial, hell it might even seem illogical but it worked didn’t it?” Blake looked to Chloe “Sorry if I pushed it too far sometimes” Blake apologised.

“You…aren’t the only one at fault. I should have come forward and said something sooner. But it was kinda fun…like we both knew and were playing a game to see who could annoy the other better” Chloe smiled brightly and Blake looked away with a smile on her face.

“I guess we could start over…” Chloe nodded in response to Blake's premise.

“W-W-W-Wait!” Melanie yelled “It’s that simple?! Five minutes ago you would have been at each-others’ throats and now you claim it’s everything’s all-right?! What about my brilliant plan?!” She yelled in protest.

Danni placed her hand on Melanie’s shoulder to try and offer her support “Well I guess your plan worked too well in the end. But at least you too are friends again right?” Danni perked up with a smile.

“Jesus Christ you’re like a dog with a bone. Yes we’re friends again. Now would you two please leave? I have unfinished business with Melanie…” Blake grabbed Melanie by the collar and threw her over the table back into their previous position, her eyes gleaming with dark intent “I won’t go easy on you for tricking me…” Blake said with an evil smile.

Danni felt a cold feeling grasp her shoulder tightly, almost to the point of crushing her, as she turned her head she could see the smiling figure of Chloe. Except this smile was different, almost as if it was masking a terrible and malevolent force beneath. “I think you also should be punished…my love…” Chloe said with a voice on the teetering edge between sanity and insanity.

A cold fear washed over Danni, unsure if what would ensure would be something akin to torture of not. In any case, all she could do was laugh nervously as Chloe lead her out of the room, leaving Melanie screaming inside it in such a way that was a mix of pleasure and pleading to stop. Danni wondered if the same was going to happen to her. Probably. A smart person would put money on it.


For better or worse, this was the way things had played out. But much was yet to be settled. In fact, one might say this is where the tale of our young heroines actually begins!

The dark embrace of night crept over the sleeping world, night set in as Danni and Chloe found themselves once again locked in a slumbering embrace befit for the closest of lovers. Their forms, like the morning prior to these events, were once again naked but this time found themselves facing each-other under the covers.

For punishment after deceiving Chloe, Danni had been forced into an entire day’s worth of non-stop sex until her body was so numb she could barely move. However, despite the activities, Danni found herself unable to find a consistent amount of sleep and discovered herself perpetually conscious with a frustrated look running across her face. What put her mind at ease though, was looking at the sleeping face of Chloe that continued to glow even in the darkest of twilight. Her smile everlasting as she clutched onto the hand of Danni that was placed between them with Chloe’s being placed on top of it. No-one could know the happiness Danni felt simply by staring at the girl in front of her. But the lack of sleep had finally gotten to her after hours of staring into Chloe’s shinning beauty as her head began feeling pangs of pain and her eyes grew more and more strained as she kept them open, not that shutting them did much good so the alternative was just as useless to her well-being.

Danni stood up and threw on a plain white collared T-shirt and buttoned it up part way to conceal her ample breasts. The shirt fell to her pelvic region and just about concealed the upper part of her thighs. She walked to the kitchen in order to obtain some warm milk, she had always heard of the rumours that drinking warm milk would help someone fall asleep quicker. She had no idea how it made sense or how it worked, or whether or not it was just an urban legend, but she was willing to try anything at this point to obtain sleep. It was a peculiar feeling to have sleep elude her. She pondered why, and then an abstract thought occurred to her: What if it was because of all of today’s events culminating together? More than that, what if it was all of the recent events since moving to this school?

Danni thought to herself about her past. During her younger days, the time of her past returning home every day without a single friend whom she had ever spoken to. Sure, there had been some minor relationships she had made in her childhood youth when her family had been moving around thanks to her father’s job. But most of these places involved areas where the norm was that people were not native English speakers so she found it hard to convey her wish to make friends or to make general conversation at all. Places like Italy, Spain, France and her father’s native Saudi Arabia filled her memories of the same scene over and over again. The same scenario came coursing back to the forefront of her mind: She would return home, bag slung across her shoulder. Her mother would welcome her home with a magnificent hug that would expel the air from her lungs and cover her face in motherly kisses (something that was rarer in more recent times, but her mother would still show just as great affection to her on occasion) before Danni would ascend however many layers of stairs it would take to reach her room. Once there she would simply stair into the canopy of her bed or her usually elegant ceiling dotted with many different paintings. Not out of interest, simply to pass the time. She would sit there for hours with nothing to do. Loneliness was truly a painful thing to deal with and for 16 years she had not known another feeling except for it. She thought to herself briefly about how she would pray to god for them to take away this painful feeling that seemed to never leave her. At some point she stopped, thinking if there was a god then that would only serve to anger her further, after all, why should everyone else get to have something as simple as a friend yet she was consistently confined to loneliness?
All these memories and feelings came roaring back to the surface of her mind for one simple reason: they were all meaningless now that she had both a lover and friends. They could no longer define her or make her fear an eternity of loneliness. The feelings and memories burnt to ashes in her mind, finally freeing her of those dark thoughts. A sigh escaped her pink lips:

“Finally. I have everything I always wanted…” She brought her glass of warm milk to her lips as she smiled wildly and giddily to herself, happiness finally emanating from her body as she relaxed against the counter. She closed her eyes as she turned to rest against the counter and upon opening them, she saw Chloe stood in front of her with her dressing gown on, yet it was not tied up so the sides of her breasts were still partially exposed, prompting Danni to blush and almost drop her glass in surprise at the playfully erotic smile Chloe had on her face. “C-Chloe?! What are you-?” Danni started to ask, but as she was speaking Chloe had moved in and enveloped her in a warm embrace again. The singular point of return for their relationship was that beautiful embrace that poured both happiness and confidence into Danni’s very soul.

“Sorry…I woke up and saw that you weren’t there…” Chloe brought her hands up to the top of Danni’s back and gripped on tightly to her shirt “I got kinda worried…does that sound weird?” Chloe asked with a seemingly scared voice. Danni looked almost shocked by the sudden change from the dangerous smile that Chloe was wearing (that usually indicated her desire for carnal activities) into a look and sound of anxiety and discomfort. “I don’t like waking up to you not there…” Chloe finished as she removed the buttons to the lower section of Danni’s shirt and applied gentle and yet forceful kisses up her sternum. She removed the glass from Danni’s hand and placed it on the side of the kitchen by the fridge as she picked Danni up and placed her on the counter before continuing to kiss up her body until she reached the crevice of Danni’s neck where she both licked and kissed it gently tracing up and down it trying to pleasure Danni as best she could. As a result it started sending those bolts of electricity known as ecstasy all over Danni’s body. Her toes curled up and she gripped onto the end of the counter from reaction to the stimulation that Chloe was providing. Chloe raised herself up to Danni’s now panting face and smiled erotically again in a teasing way “I’ll keep going until you can sleep my love” Chloe moved her thumb and index finger over Danni’s chin and held it in place as she passionately kissed Danni, tongues of the two girls wrestling for control over who could pleasure the over better. Obviously, since Chloe had not only instigated the kiss but also had the greater level of experience, it was no contest over who won with Danni panting, her chest heaving in rhythm with her breaths and a trail of drool running down her chin. Drops of sweat had already begun to drip down her body and moistened it all over with her shirt falling down to the lower half of her arms but still managed to cling to the lower half of her stomach thanks to the sticky moisture coating her body. Her ripe nipples stood up hard from Chloe’s light teasing. Only Chloe knew all of her buttons and weak spots as well as how to combine them to get her so close to the edge of ecstasy so quickly like this. It was somewhat impressive she had learnt how to do this in such a short space of time.

“Chloe…no more…” Danni gulped and then let out some even more haggard breaths then before “…No more teasing…I want it down there…” Danni gestured with her head to her pelvic region and spread her legs just a little in order to display her thick, glistening juices that stuck to either side of her thighs with a small line of said juices joining them together.

Despite having an obvious understanding of what Danni was requesting, not like it was difficult to discern anyway, Chloe naturally loved to tease the cute and irresistible Danni that was in front of her as much as possible before servicing her. “What do you want down there? You’ve got to be more specific…” Chloe teased Danni’s thighs by gently stroking them as her juices dripped to the surface of the counter below. In response to the teasing, Danni bit onto the collar of her shirt after bringing it up to her mouth, the teasing was complete agony, yet an agony she almost enjoyed.

She looked up at Chloe with up-turned eyes of pure lust, completely under Chloe’s control
“P-Please…lick my…you know…” Danni found it too embarrassing to say and covered her mouth with her hands as she turned away with tightly shut eyes “…my pussy…” she squeaked out after a few seconds of Chloe’s teasing.

Chloe patronisingly patted Danni’s head and kissed her on the lips softly “There you go! Was that so bad?” Chloe asked with a small giggle and equally sized smile.

“T…Trust me, it’s not as easy as you think…” Danni said with a worn-out voice as she wiped some sweat off of her forehead and let her shirt fall back down to the lower portion of her arms, now panting even more the before (if possible).

Chloe ran her finger up and down Danni’s legs, sending small bursts of unbearable teasing stimuli up Danni’s body. “Soooo….think you can spread your legs?” She asked and Danni nodded in response before, slowly and cautiously, she spread her legs to reveal her juice-soaked pussy below. Chloe’s jaw dropped like she had found some remarkable treasure that the entire world had been searching for. She wrapped her arms around Danni’s lower back and pulled her forward so her pelvic region was now hanging over the edge, completely at her mercy. She moved her head in-between her legs and licked up the sticky liquid between Danni’s legs, slurping it in. Danni shivered in response to Chloe’s tongue and her lips licking and sucking her thighs clean.

“I-I said stop teasing…” Danni whined in a pitiful voice as she moved her hands and cupped the back of Chloe’s head and moved it closer to her pussy. Chloe smirked and kissed Danni’s folds either side of her pussy, licking up and down the folds as she moved in her finger and started encircling Danni’s clit with her finger, lightly pushing it up with her index finger on occasion. She then decided to move onto spreading Danni’s pussy and licking the pink innards of Danni’s very body, drinking up the sweet nectar that poured out at her mere touch. The intense bolts caused Danni’s back to arch and spasm from Chloe’s touches. “Ah…Chloe…” Danni stroked Chloe’s head in order to convey she was doing well.

“I know, you’re enjoying it right?” Danni nodded back to her as she shut her eyes tightly with a flushed face drenched in sweat “Then shall I take it a step further? You’re wet enough…” Chloe spread Danni’s pussy and gently inserted her right index finger inside her. Danni’s entire body clenched around Chloe’s finger and she moaned at the feeling of Chloe being inside her.

“Ahah! Chloeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I love it!” Danni screamed out in joyous reply to Chloe moving her finger in and out, rubbing the inside walls of Danni’s pussy at the same time. Danni’s eyes rolled back slightly and her mouth hung open, drool escaping her mouth all the while. Chloe stood up (still fingering Danni) and started kissing Danni too, assertively wrapping her tongue around Danni as well as occasionally sucking her saliva out of her mouth. “I-I’m gonna-!” Danni threw her head back as her entire body twitched and the euphoric feeling of her orgasm. Her body then relaxed, clinging on to Chloe with both arms and legs as Chloe did the same.

“Did you like that? Did I satisfy you?” Chloe asked sounding upbeat in her questioning, wondering if she had done a good enough job.

“Uh-huh…good…” Danni slurred out a response as her eyes grew heavy and started quickly shutting on her as her conscience faded out “I love you…nighty-night…” Danni proclaimed as she slumped onto Chloe’s shoulder, gently snoring as she snuggled up to Chloe, who giggled to herself and kissed her forehead.

“I knew that would tire you out. Good night my love” Chloe said as she scooped Danni up into her arms and carried her back to their room, where she lead her down onto their bed, drawing the covers over her sleeping state and sat by her side, playfully twirling Danni’s hair around her finger and stroking the side of her cheek; getting a small smile from Danni whenever she did so. “Ah…you’re so cute…” Chloe’s own thoughts went back to earlier and what Danni had done in order to repair Chloe and Blake’s relationship “Thank you for doing that…I lacked the courage to tell Blake the truth…you really are a wonderful person, Danni” She kissed Danni on the cheek one final time and led down next to her under the covers and drifted off looking at Danni’s gentle breathing as Danni finally seemed to mouth some final words. Chloe couldn’t be sure of what they were, but she had a fairly good idea.

“I love you too”

Danni had a horrifying dream, one that shook her to her very core. It started off as a very surreal, but peaceful venue. She stood in her pyjamas (Pink long sleeved, collared shirt with equally pink shorts on) in a field filled to the very brim with all kinds of flowers. They were in such high density that the ground itself, for all she knew, could in fact not exist as she couldn’t see to surface her feat stood on. She then noticed a figure off in the distance, the breeze blowing their long hair as they stared off into a blinding sunlight that could not decide whether it was rising or setting.

Danni called out to the figure, but they did not respond, every step she took seemed only to increase the distance between her and the figure. Soon the light from the sun began to die out until all was black, and the flowers wilted and died. The floor beneath her (now visible amongst the dead carcases of flowers) turned into a marshy swamp. She realised something truly horrifying next, she was slowly sinking into the dark marsh beneath her, and her struggling, anxious flailing only seemed to accelerate her decline. Something then cruelly grabbed onto her head and squeezed until she was whining in pain. Danni opened a single, reluctant eye to see the figure of Chloe in front of her. She smiled deviously, except it was not like her previous smiles; this one was of pure malice. Chloe thrust Danni’s face into the marsh, robbing her of breath and quickly began to make her chest feel as if it was bursting into flames from the lack of oxygen. Her head grew lighter until her eyes began to roll back into her head, her eyes losing colour all the time until they turned milky.

And just as she was on the verge of death, a large blaring noise exploded out of nowhere. It blared constantly over and over again in the same annoying rhythmic pattern. A high pitched wailing was the closest description one could give it. Danni sprang up in her bed, the area she had been sleeping on was drenched in sweat, as was her shirt. She looked around to see herself in her now fully decorated princess-like room coloured in a bright pink. A shining light shot through her windows with the blinds now drawn back. Danni turned herself to her bedside table to find her alarm clock as the source of the incessant crying that had awoken her. She let out a grateful sigh and patted her alarm clock before thanking as she set it to snooze.

For a few brief moments she sat on the edge of her bed trying to make sense of what she had witnessed in her dreams. What she had saw was obviously not reality, but neither did it hold no significance whatsoever. It frightened her, that much was obvious without question but it made her more curious. She attempted to think about it rationally, nightmares weren’t a common occurrence to her, she usually would sleep peacefully in the past despite her crippling loneliness. Was it a symbol of her own fears? Was she afraid that she would at fault for causing her perfect worlds destruction and lead to Chloe casting her out? With each thought, more troubling and terrifying than the last, she trembled even more. Her own chest began to ache in pain, with all her might she tried and tried to convince herself to think that everything she had just witnessed was a fabrication and was simply a trick being played on her by her subconscious.


As her rambling thoughts continued to linger on, a sharp knock came from her door and it slowly opened revealing a man in a finely dressed suit, with a dark haircut that was greying at the sides, standing by her door. He shuffled his upper lips in discontent to see Danni still sat on the side of her bed, given how at this point it still had to be at earliest late morning.

“Miss Danielle, your Father has requested you please stop ignoring your duties as eldest child by lying in all day…” he spoke in an upper-class British accent, similar in region to Danni’s but more refined in nature. Almost like it was an act to seem sophisticated. He noticed the dark and moist patches on Danni’s back that outlined the features of her body and raised an eyebrow “My Lady, could it be perhaps you have a high temperature that is causing your perspiration?” He asked with a considerate tone.

Danni considered this, she placed the back of her hand against her forehead to ascertain if she had a fever and, as a result, if the delirium of such a high temperature had caused her dream. No such luck though, as she found her forehead to be cool and the only feeling akin to sickness was the groggy feeling of her body waking up.
“No Charles, I’m fine…jus…hot I suppose…” Danni clung onto her wet sleeves as she lied, rather poorly. Despite this, Charles shuffled his upper lip and slowly began to close the door.

“I’ll inform you father that you will make your way down with haste” He said in a calming way, before smirking, letting the door shut and leaving Danni on her lonesome again. She then pulled out her usual casual attire and began changing into a buttoned up, white collared T-shirt with frilly ends, a red hoodie that she left unzipped, a black skirt and multi-coloured knee socks. She entered into the bathroom and sprayed on some antiperspirant before quickly sorting out her hair and adding on her trademark braids to her hair after coming it. Finally, before leaving her room she put on some white slippers and descended the stairs down to the ground floor of her house, where loud and obnoxious yelling could be heard from the kitchen. Danni popped her head into the room to see Samantha and Gideon sat at a long wooden table as they ate their lunch.

The room itself was substantially bigger than most kitchens would be, Danni’s father always went for the extravagant, even at the expense of practical uses. There was various pantries containing all kinds of spices, cereals and other cooking materials. The floor was a black and white mosaic and the walls were lined with cupboards and counters.

Samantha had obviously done something to upset Gideon, as he was crying and she was revelling in her ability to cause this. Her haughty laughter echoed around the entire house. Gideon stood up out of his chair and ran over to Danni, clutching onto her waist and crying into her as he blabbered on about gibberish, his crying and hiccupping causing his words to slur into one incoherent whine. “What’s the matter Gideon?” Danni patted her brother on the head and gently stroked his short brown hair, trying to console him.

“Samantha…said…I-I was…stupid!” Gideon remained slightly calm for his sentence, trying to inform his elder sister of Samantha’s acts but ended of returning to his waling all over again.

“Sam!” Danni yelled, trying to sound as commanding as possible but came across as someone meekly attempting to take charge despite their fear resounding in their voice. “You should be a better older sister! That’s no way to treat Gideon!” Danni picked Gideon up and sat him back in his chair before briefly kissing him on the forehead and stroking his head with an affectionate smile, causing Gideon to smile in return with a small giggle.
Samantha pouted in her seat as Gideon received all of Danni’s affections, despite generally being a disobedient child who would disobey orders and caused her family trouble at a moment’s notice, her idol had always been her older sister. Danni was the apple of her family’s eye: smart, creative, kind and beautiful beyond belief. All things that Samantha desired to be, her protective and ever-present older sister was one of the few people who could stomach her straightforward and dominant personality and could yet still spend time with her without growing frustrated. In many ways, Samantha reminded Danni of a much younger Blake.

“Fine…Danni! Can you get me some juice?” Samantha said in a much brighter tone.

“Huh? Can’t you…?” Danni began to ask a question, but Samantha’s bright smile was not without its charms, and Danni sighed before walking off to the fridge and pulling out a carton of orange juice and two glasses: One for Samantha and one for herself.

“Sissy…you look pale…” Gideon said as Danni bent down to hand Samantha her drink, Danni looked oddly amused by Gideon’s obvious worry, trying to hide her own fears over her nightmare. Still, Gideon was of no stranger to someone looking sickly, his entire life had been plagued with trip to the ICU’s of many different hospitals due to his poor constitution. Thanks to this, he easily managed to notice Danni looked overly tired for just getting up and was paler than usual.

“No, no, no! I’m fine, I just had a bad dream is all…” Danni tried to assure Gideon it was nothing to be concerned of, but he looked unconvinced by her statements.

“I don’t like it when you lie Sissy…” Gideon said quietly to himself, however, Danni overheard his whispers and knelt down beside him, gently rubbing his arm to melt away his insecurities.

“I promise nothing is wrong Gideon, okay? It was just a bad dream” Danni said, fixing her eyes straight on Gideon’s and didn’t break eye contact with him all the while. Eventually Gideon nodded to himself and returned to his food in front of him.

“Yeah Gidiot! Danni wouldn’t lie to us!” She yelled across at her brother, who refused to acknowledge her statement. Suddenly, their Father rounded the corner by the back of the room, dressed in a typical black business suit with a red tie.

“Took you a while to wake up” He said, leaning through the doorway into the hall at the back of the room and house respectively. There was almost an air of calmness and trust emanated in his words, as if there was no reason not to trust anything he said. However, it was still a strong and commanding voice, useful given the line of work he was in as a businessman for a global company.

“Yeah sorry, I slept in late since it’s a weekend” Danni said back with a smile as she put on an apron and began to clean dirty plates in the sink behind Samantha.

“Pretty useless alarm clock if it can’t even wake you up…” Karim grumbled as he ruffled a beaming Gideon’s hair.

“I set it for later than usual on purpose. I was tired after the last few days…” Danni
purposefully withheld information concerning not only her escapades involving her new friends, but also the romantic involvement between her and Chloe. She only did it since it was difficult for her to gauge how her father would react, he was a passionate and strong man who believed in letting others know his opinion no matter how different the two opinions would be. Furthermore, he was extremely protective of his children, and on one occasion had beaten an assailant whom had targeted Danni, but that is a story for another day. However, he was considerate and held more liberal views regarding the love between two individuals. Whilst this of course gave Danni some hope about coming clean to her father over the love she had for another girl (the awkward and weird thoughts had quickly left her mind about that), she was still fearful over how her father could react.

Karim raised his eyebrow over her statement, “What odd behaviour…” he thought to himself, Danni usually always punctual about waking up and looking after her siblings, given how her father could have to run off to work at any second which could leave the children unattended depending on how occupied their mother was. So it was necessary on weekends for Danni to devote her time to her younger siblings in case of a (work-related) crisis. Despite his slight concerns regarding her attitude, it wasn’t like this was the first time she had ever slept in late or been so casual about it. Plus Karim considered how she should be allowed to slack off a little, anyway, it’s not like she was far if anything did happen. “So, how has school been going then? Any troubles?” he asked, softening in expression and smiling down at Gideon before giving his own cheeky wink to Samantha, who stuck her tongue out back at him; a little game they had that more resembled an inside joke more than anything.

“Umm…no issues no…” Danni said timidly, trying her best to sound as convincing as possible as she lied through her teeth.

“What about your classmates? Any of them nice?” Karim asked, expecting the same as always: Danni to hang her head in depression and state that she doesn’t know. Still, as a father he had to hold the hope that she would one day swing around and with a flustered smile say that she did in fact make a friend.

Danni lifted her head up and stared at her image in the window ahead of her, she looked somewhat quizzical about the question proposed to her. Like the answer was simple, yet abstract at the same time. Whilst all of her new friends could be listed as nice, they each seemed a little dark in their own way. Blake needed no deep explanation or analysis, she was Blake: Plain and simple. Melanie was somewhat cold to others and seemed disconnected to her own feelings, as well as slightly manipulative. Chloe was secretive about some things, albeit very personal things so it wasn’t like she could be blamed for that. “Yes.” Danni said rather abruptly and realised that her father may not have been completely satisfied with that answer “I’ve made a few friends since the first day” Danni turned and saw her father’s jaw hanging by its hinges, he was in a state of complete shock.

“A friend? An actual friend? You’re not pulling my leg right?” Karim said, his eyes widened at her words, unable to properly process what she had just said.

“Yes! Her name is…” Danni began when a figure entered into the doorway behind her and let out a small, feminine and calmly sweet chuckle.

“A girl named Chloe” Chloe said, standing behind Danni in a white-collared, frilly shirt and jean-like shorts that met her knees in terms of length. Danni slowly jarred around to face Chloe, who had a typical bright smile written across her face. Danni was full of both dread over what Chloe could be doing here, and if she was about to reveal their relationship and potentially bring about Danni’s worst fears regarding her father’s reaction.

Danni’s mother then appeared behind the two, holding her cheek in her hand with her own proud smile aimed directly at her eldest child “As soon as she told me you two were friends Danielle, I couldn’t help but let her inside. I don’t remember the last time you had a friend over!” Audrey exclaimed with Chloe nodding in agreement.

“You let her in based just on that? She could be a murderer!” Karim yelled, obviously with sarcasm mixed into his voice and a smile creeping onto his face.

“It’s true, I’ve been called a lady-killer before” Chloe chuckled.
Danni rushed over and grabbed Chloe by the arm, leading her out of the room and away from her parents “We need a moment alone!” she said with a voice full of haste and at such a frequency that it took her parents a few seconds to properly discern what she had just said.


Danni gave a harsh look towards Chloe and her sudden arrival, flustered all the while with Chloe admiring Danni’s cute reactions to the situation that she had been thrown into.

“What do you think you’re doing here?!” Danni whispered so no-one could overhear their conversation, although the tone of voice she used was one of irritation.

“Hmm? Just visiting my lov-” Chloe began before Danni covered her mouth and commanded her to be quiet by shushing her.

“What if my Dad hears you? He’ll go mental! And next time text me!” Danni said and Chloe rolled her eyes in response.

“Geez, you’re no fun” Chloe teased and patted Danni on the head affectionately, despite her angered demeanour. “Anyhow, I have something you might be interested in…” Chloe, looking suspiciously intrigued in her own thoughts.

“W-What is it…?” Danni leaned back a little, raising an eyebrow at Chloe’s statement.

“How about…” Chloe paused for a second “We go Ghost-Hunting?” Chloe said, leaving Danni in a stunned position from how serious Chloe both looked and sounded. Of course, she was convinced by Chloe in order to come along.

Ghost-hunting was their newest adventure.
