15 Year old Daniel lives his life as a regular high school student would, with a decent social status and relations with everyone in school. Everything appears fine for him. However in reality he looks upon everything he does in school as nothing more than a waste of time and disregards his peers as fools in his head, isolating his heart from those around him. Until he meets Jasmine, a girl who has the intellect and wit to match his cynicism. Read as their high school journey progresses. Will Daniel finally find someone he can open up to?

Simply Because

As the sun's rays broke through the small opening of my curtain, my eyes were forced open by the intense light. Rubbing my eyes as I sat up from my bed, I looked at my clock on my bedside and slapped myself for getting up so early. 


Daniel:" You're kidding, it's only 7 on a Saturday. Why am I up so early?" 


Standing up, he opened the door to his room and walked downstairs only to find no one there. 


Daniel:" Everyone's probably still asleep." 


Making himself a cup of coffee, he sat down at the dining table. Taking a small sip of the hot drink instantly woke him up as he sat there stoning, staring at the ceiling of his house, as he recalled the events of the previous day. The conversation with Christopher was still fresh in his mind and even at this moment, he was struggling to rationalise what he said.
