Yes - if Daniel Parker would ever be close to a mental break down; Today was that day. Though he had distanced himself from Delilah - the racing of his heart hadn’t calmed down as his mind faltered over the news again. "Positive" - a word that kept repeating in his mind over, and over, and over again. What was he going to do? What was she going to do? They couldn’t keep it - for god’s sake they would be terrible parents. Wait… why did Daniel even think it was his? There was a chance it wasn’t… after all, Delilah was known not to be discrete with her indiscretions with other men. Lyonrad for one… but… despite that - whether it was Daniel’s or not - he felt a pang of… no what was this emotion? Did he feel… guilt?
A sigh left his lips as Daniel walked down the hall - his eyes flickering towards that which was his locker. Well.. if he was already here, perhaps he could see what he had gotten for his ‘secret Santa,’ - hopefully, it would lift is spirits after possibly the worst news a man could get, though he doubted anything could get him out of the newfound slump he was in.
Placing the combination in the locker, he opened it only to find a single piece of paper falling to his feet - nothing else within his locker to indicate it was from his secret Santa. Here he was hoping for chocolate or something. Yet another sigh escaped his lips as he leaned down to pick it up - though unless it was a certificate saying “YOU’VE BEEN PRANKED”, he didn’t think it would lift his mood.
However, what was presented on the certificate was the opposite of what he was hoping. As he looked at the piece of paper, reading through it - his eyes widened almost immediately, connecting the dots within a second. Initially, a flash of confusion overtook his body, however, it was soon filled with another emotion. Anger.
Slamming his locker - Daniel, who was now a force to be reckoned with, walked through the hallway with an air of purpose - searching for the one person in the world he thought he could trust. Boy, was he wrong… He should have known better. Locking eyes with the back of the girl’s head, Daniel marched over towards her - making no indication to notify her that he was behind her before screaming “Did you know this entire time?”
