From the rain in the eaves

26. July
It has been 3 weeks since the embarrassing incident with this boy. I've been to town many times, but I haven't seen him again. It's a shame actually ...
Mum gave James more sermons; then he moved out and went back to England. Mum and Dad are disappointed in him, they say. Mum said that if he continued like this, he would no longer be her son.
I think it's great that he finally got the courage and defended himself against Mum. As far as I know, Luzy and James want to move to Scotland; in a cozy little house. When I'm on vacation, I really want to visit him !!!
Your Dany

Danielle threw her little book on the bed and ignored it. In a few days school would start again and that very fact took over her mind. She didn't want to admit it to herself, but a little fear mingled between her feelings. Likewise, the uncertainty of what to expect.
She grabbed her bag and ran down the stairs. She wanted to go into town again and distract herself a little.
But time never stops and so the day came that Dany even feared a little: the first day of school.
She never had these worries in England. She had been popular in her class and enjoyed school. But now it made her stomach turn when she thought about it.
That morning was one of the worst she had ever known. Her mother, strangely excited, was happy that her baby boy was going to domino high.
"... and remember that you behave there!", her mother preached when Dany opened the door and warm air flowed towards her. "And don't be cheeky! After all, you want to make a good impression on the teachers!"
"Yes, Mum.", Danielle replied bored and quickly closed the door behind her before her mother could think of anything else to call Dany.
Another bright summer day greeted them; literally took her in my arms. Dany had quickly turned down her mother's suggestion to take her to school. She didn't want to be annoyed with her sermons while she was driving.
So Dany walked the long way to the bus stop. There were a lot of domino high students there, which she could tell by their uniforms.
'At least they wear uniforms here ...' she thought, relieved. 'But not nearly as pretty as the English ...' she stated silently.
Some of the faces looked familiar, but only by sight. Unlike many others, Dany could remember faces. She would recognize anyone she'd only seen once.
Danielle stood next to the others and her gaze wandered up and down the street.
"Hopefully the bus will come soon," she grumbled inwardly.She found the morning stressful enough thanks to her mother. But then the bus came towards the stop and stopped right in front of Dany. She got in and sat down in the middle of the public transport. She looked outside where some birds were flying by the window. A smile crept onto her face.
'Maybe the day will get better after all. ', she encouraged herself and briefly closed her eyes. After the summer vacation, getting up was a pain for everyone, but for Dany, who loved sleeping in on the weekends - which was mostly not possible thanks to her mother - it was pure hell.
After about ten minutes the bus stopped in front of the school and Dany got out with the chattering crowd.
'Then to the secretariat. 'she groaned inwardly, but stepped confidently towards the building.
She opened the large doors and stepped into the foyer. Fortunately, there were signs there. One of them now read the wordSecretariatin letters that were already peeling off. Next to the word was an arrow pointing to the left.
Dany followed this until she finally arrived in front of a snow-white door that again readSecretariatin black letters.

The room was a little bigger than expected; Two desks were placed side by side in it. Behind the left was a slightly older woman who you could tell immediately that she was getting on in years.
Dany could tell that it had to be quite stressful here at the moment. Nevertheless, the woman looked up and gave her a friendly smile: "What can I do for you?"
"Um ... I should register here.", Dany managed after a brief second of wondering what she wanted now.
"Ahh ... wait!", She rummaged around in her mountain of papers. At the sight of this, Dany resolved never to become a secretary.
"You must be Danielle Munir," she said, looking up from her sheet of paper. Dany just nodded. "Yes exactly."
"Good.", She rummaged around under her table, finally took out a small package.
"This is your school uniform!" Stated the woman. "Besides, you have here ...", she pressed a few pieces of paper into Dany's hand, "... your schedule and a map of the house. You can also let our head of the school show you around. As far as I know, he'll go too to Mr. Narumi's class. "After this flood of information, Dany only nodded anxiously.
"I'll write down the name for you here," said the secretary unnecessarily and wrote a name on a neon green piece of paper. 'If I lose that, I really doubt myself. ', Dany thought, and inwardly rolled her eyes.

A little later, after getting lost four times, almost standing in the staff room and almost going into the wrong classroom, she was finally standing in front of her classroom. And what was good: the right one.
She opened the door and stepped into the already crowded room.Inwardly she sighed.
Few took any notice of her. The same goes for a girl with brown, chin-length hair. Immediately she came up to Dany and only started with a friendly "Hi". "Hi," Dany replied. "You have to be our new one.", The girl began and from that moment on she got on Dany's nerves. "Since you've certainly never seen me here before, that's actually a logical conclusion!" Dany replied coolly. Anyone who had been friends with Zoé since kindergarten could not be expected to have nice words with such naivety.
"A-well ... I'm the class representative and wanted to give you a warm welcome to our class." "I'm Tea."
"Hello Tea. Thanks for these nice expressesheartfeltwords.", Dany said with a sarcastic undertone, emphasizing the word 'warmly'.
"Well ... um ...", Tea stuttered to himself. Dany, on the other hand, just shook her head impatiently and said after a while: "Can you tell me which of those Yami Muto is here? He's supposed to be the student representative and I want to ask him if he can show me around." She waved the neon-colored sheet in front of Tea's nose.
"Oh ... um ... I can do that too," Tea offered quickly.
"No, thanks! Stop it!" Dany replied just as quickly. 'I've had enough of you today! 'she added in thought.
"Oh..ehh..He sits back there.", Tea said and pointed to a boy on the other side of the room. Dany turned and almost dropped the note in shock. "Nah or ..." she moaned. “He, of all people!” And there he was: the boy she had knocked over with her inline skates. But as casually as he sat, he looked incredibly good. When Dany thought about it, she quickly tried to get those thoughts out of her head.
"What did you say?" Tea asked suspiciously. "Um ... I've met him before ..." Dany mumbled softly. 'Unfortunately not under the best of circumstances.'
"Oh yeah? Where?", Tea asked piercingly.
"Man! I knocked him over in the city! Are you going to shut up?" Dany shouted loudly and glared at Tea.
But now there was silence. Dead silence. Everyone, really everyone, had cut off their conversations and turned to the screamer.
Too late, Dany realized her mistake. 'Oh no! 'She turned fiery red. 'Exactly what I didn't want! Take center stage on the first day. 'Once again she wished the ground opened a crack and she would disappear into it. But unfortunately that was just wishful thinking.
"Hey! Is this our new one?" Shouted a boy with dirty blond hair.
"Very well combined, puppy.", Dany said coolly to him, whereupon the boy next to Yami suddenly started laughing. "See Joey! It's not just me who think you're a mutt!"
"Seto!", Yami warned him softly.
The boy named Joey began to sulk.Tea, however, stood in front of Dany and put her arms on her sides; the whole class was still listening.
"You can't just come in here and scold us all!" She uttered angrily.
"As you can see, I can," Dany muttered, ignoring Tea's furious snort. She was about to open her mouth when someone pushed her aside and said to Tea: "Leave her alone!" It was Seto.
"But Seto! She called Joey a dog!", Tea was upset. He rolled his eyes and said: "I do that all the time!"
"You're not new here either!" Replied Tea as quick as an arrow.
"It doesn't make any difference whether I've been here for two years or only two minutes!" Dany hissed softly.
Tea wanted to give a rebellious answer to the best, but luckily the teacher stepped in at that very moment and so they had to go to their seats.
'It can still be a great school year. 'Danielle thought to herself and did not wish for her first time back to England.
In the afternoon Dany was standing in the school library, trying to pick out a few books for her new history topic and homework. After the incident that morning, she had renounced the tour with Yami; she also found her way around quite well. Loaded with four thick books, she made her way to one of the tables that also filled the room. But before she reached the table, she stumbled over an edge that was too high.
With a loud crack, the books and Dany landed on the floor. "Ouch.", She mumbled softly and got up.
"Are you okay?" A voice suddenly asked above her. Dany looked up and blushed. 'Why is it always him? 'she wondered when she looked at Yami's face.
"Yes.", Dany said softly and picked up her books again. Yami helped her and looked at the titles of the books.
"The myths of ancient Egypt?" He read a title. "Yes for the homework.", Dany mumbled softly and snatched the book from his hand. "II have to go back now ...", she said and pointed slightly to the door.
She was about to take the path to the exit when he stood in
