   Joshua pounded his fist into the boarded wall of the gangs hide out. He was furious! The other two bullies looked really tense near him. They could tell something came up. Joshua could be like a raging bull. Nobody knew when it was going to hit, and nobody could tell which direction it was going.

    The young girl that Danny had teased walked down the hallway gloomily. She had been teased about her deformed hand yet again, and by a person she least suspected. Danny was a very quiet, mundane student who usually kept to himself. Nobody knew why he had called her 'spider hand'. She found the name very hurtful. Now all the teens in the high school were calling her that name. Her real name was Sasha. Sasha sighed heavily as she opened the locker that she kept her books in. It was difficult for her, but she managed to perform the action.  Without warning she saw Danny standing beside her locker with his hands shoved into his pocket in a guilty fashion.

   "I am sorry," he said quietly. "I had no call teasing you the way I did. It was wrong and I am so very sorry."
   Sasha could tell he was not lying. He looked troubled. She took her good hand and brushed her blonde hair out of her face. Despite the fact she had a deformity, Danny still found her very attractive.
   "You should be!" she snapped in a hurt tone. "I have done nothing to you and this is how you treat me? You ought to be ashamed of yourself," she chided him as she slammed her locker door shut. Danny shuddered as she did so. He hid underneath his hoodie with his eyes and gave her a very peculiar look. Meanwhile, Sasha had her right hand up and ready to strike his face with a harsh slap.  Sasha had never seen Danny look at her like that.
   Was something up?  
   "Is everything okay?" she asked out of curiosity.
    Danny had expected her to slap his face hard but she hadn't. Sasha put her hand down and the two of them began to walk down the hallway.
   "It isn't," Danny whispered. "I thought I would be cool if I joined the cool kids club but it turns out they are a bunch of losers. I felt terrible when I teased you and I really had no call in doing so. In fact...if it helps you feel better. I wound up with detention all week because of it."
    "You did?" Sasha asked as her eyes rounded. She almost laughed but tried really hard to  keep her laughter to herself.
    She wanted Danny to open up to her. Suddenly Sasha felt someone touching her in a place that made her feel really uncomfortable. One of the teenage boys was trying to lift up her skirt to get a look under there!
   Danny became defensive. "You asshole!" he barked. Sasha jumped behind Danny. She took her purple note book and covered her chest with it.
    "You leave her alone you dirty ass little punk!" he snapped at the teen who stood before him. He knew who this was but he didn't care. The mayor's son went to the same school as they did. He had been in a lot of trouble before with the law. The only thing that prevented him from getting out of trouble was his father's title.
   Big whoop, thought Danny as he stared Gregory down with a sneer. He wasn't scared of him in the least. In fact, if he didn't know any better, he swore he saw Gregory flinch a little. Danny cracked his knuckles. Gregory backed off and decided for ONCE to leave well enough alone.
   "Now that we're alone, before class starts, I think you should tell me more about this gang," Sasha said with a concerned tone.
   "No...I really shouldn't. If they find out that you know about them, it could mean really big trouble for the both of us!" Danny turned to leave for his class. Sasha called out to him. "Will I see you again?"
   Danny stopped and turned around. "I am very sorry I was rude to you, but I am not sure."
   Sasha's face flushed a little when he spoke. She found him very intriguing and handsome.  The young girl was determined to help this boy out. She knew he needed it.
Joshua is furious with Danny who tries to make amends with the girl he has teased. Will she accept his apology?
