Daniel Caster sighed as he stared into his locker at school, the lunch break just starting meaning that there was a busy stream of students going back and forth behind him, all of them preoccuiped with getting where they were going as usual rather than paying attention to some like Dan. Besides, they had no reason to pay any attention to him, the boy had managed to more or less keep himself under the radar. Popular enough to not be grouped with the nerds to be bullied, but not popular enough to be lumped in with the cocky jocks that everyone knew about. Still, none of that particularly mattered right now.
Like virtually any boy Dan's age, he had a huge crush, one person he wanted to go out with above anybody else, a girl who, as far as he was concerned at least, was the hottest, most beautiful girl in school. All perfectly normal really. Of course there was just one tiny little problem.....it was well known to the entire school that the girl was a lesbian, interested only in girls, knocking back any boy who tried their best to ask her out. Still....like many before him Dan was going to try his luck anyway. Sure he expected to fail but....well....maybe he could at least get a pity kiss.
Once the busy stream of students had calmed, Dan turned to head off down the corridor, heading outside to the large open yard. He knew roughly where the girl liked to hang out, moving quickly to try and get to her before any of her friends found her first.
"Ah, um....hi there!" Dan laughed nervously as he rounded a corner, suddenly finding himself face to face with the girl. "Um...I'm Dan....we uh...have the occasional class together. Look um....I know who you are and I know that....you're not into guys or anything but.....I reall...REALLY like you....I mean I know I'm probably barking up the wrong tree here but still..." He rubbed his head, deciding to push on before she could respond, and before he lost his nerve....this was the first time he'd actually asked a girl out after all. "I was just....well if you don't want me as your boyfriend then maybe we could at least be friends or something? Or I mean maybe I could just get a little peck on the cheek or something like that....just so I didn't make an idiot of myself for nothing....I mean I'd do absolutely anything to go out with you but....if you really don't want to..."
