《Taking 》

❰[Start of Danielle’s Route]❱

Confronting my bullies would be a terrible idea. I mean, I would just get the shit beaten out of me. I have no chance of standing up to them, and if I do end up fighting them, I would probably end up dead. Yea, there’s no way I’m doing that, I’m more clever than that. And I’m actually a bit more spiteful than that. I know a way to hit them where it hurts them. The only way to get back at my bullies is by messing with one of the girls they like. It can’t be just a random girl, it has to be one that is very close to them, dare I say, intimate.

So, just a quick overview before I do this, because I didn’t really explain this much. My two bullies are Vincent and Nicholas. Vincent is a regular white douche with a horrible sense of humor. The only way she could hook up with as many girls as he has is by seducing them with his muscles, that’s literally it. I find it impossible for someone to be attracted to him for anything else. He is quite handsome, but he has such a dumb face that I don’t think any smart woman would like him. But of course, he doesn’t hang out with smart women. He is such an idiot, but his overconfidence makes him somehow the most popular guy. That’s mainly why I believe confidence is everything.

Nicholas is kind of the same thing, except black. It sounds bad, but I honestly think he is just a shadow of Vincent. He basically follows him everywhere, does the same things as him, and probably shares brain cells with him. He does have a bit of a sense of humor, so I guess he is more charismatic than Vincent. But still, his only charms are his muscles, since he is just as stupid as Vincent. I would have no problem fighting these guys if it wasn’t for their strength, but since they are definitely more fit than me, I can’t even talk back to them without putting some serious work in the gym.

That’s why I’m choosing this indirect approach. You see, Vincent actually has a girlfriend. He is probably cheating on her with her friends, but I believe that she is doing the same with him. She is not actually relevant to this plan, though. If I messed with her, I would definitely risk losing my life. But there’s another girl that is very close to Vincent and Nicholas, and that’s who I’m going to target. She is just like all of the other girls that hang out with my bullies, but she is a very easy going, so I won’t have trouble talking to her.

So instead of heading in my bullies’ direction, I decide to walk upstairs. I think this girl usually hangs out in the cafeteria, so I look around there to find her. I don’t see her anywhere, so I go back downstairs. But just as I approach the stairs, I see her walking down. She is just like I remember, very hot, but very clumsy. I don’t get time to think much about her, as she immediately proves how careless she is when she trips on the stairs. She basically always dresses like a slut, and for some reason, she wears high heels in school, which is the reason she now trips.

She doesn’t fall, but since she was carrying her books, she drops them on the floor right next to me. My biggest doubt was how I was going to approach her, what I was going to say when I found her. But it seems like now I have the perfect opportunity to interact with her, so I don’t hesitate to take it. I quickly help her pick up her books. She doesn’t seem to notice at first, but when she sees me, she just lets me pick them up for her. Yes, she will fall for my fake kindness, unless she is used to guys approaching her in this way. I hand the books to her, and surprisingly, she is a lot more grateful than I expected her to be.

—Hey, thank you—

—No problem. You should be more careful with stairs, they are dangerous—

Really? Why can’t I talk normally with girls? I can’t think of anything to say to her. I never thought I would even get the chance to talk to her. I’m expecting her to make some sort of disgusted expression and walk away, maybe even call me an insult. But surprisingly, she continues the conversation.

—Yea, they are. Could you walk me downstairs so I make sure I don’t fall?—

—Uhhh… Sure, I’ll help you—

This is weird, she is oddly nice. I mean, she still looks very promiscuous, and I know what she has done in the past. But in this first impression, she is quite friendly to a complete stranger. I doubt she knows me, so she must be like this with everyone she meets. Although, it does make sense, because she is kind of known for being the school slut. She probably gets along with every guy, and in more ways than just being friendly. But as we walk down the stairs, with her arm wrapped around mine to not lose her balance again, I become nervous. Actually, I’m more confused, and I even question myself if this is the same girl I was thinking of. But apparently it is, and she is more easy going than I thought…
