"Ms DeBuke?"

"Yes?" "Uh huh?" "Can I help you?" "What do you need?" He may have forgotten there are a lot of DeBukes. At least half female

"Nah, thanks, it's good. hey.... nice to see you... nah....."

He waits.

Who is he waitng for?

The math teacher.

Instead, he gets Daisy Nelle "Oh , Hi Adam. Looking for someone?"

"Hey." He smiles. "Yeah, but.... how're you? Daisy, right?"

A blush "Yeah. "

"Nice to meet you. I'm Adam."

"Yes. I mean.. heard of you" She says nervous

"Yeah.... and you're Daisy Mae."

"Nelle, Daisy Nelle, but .." She sighs "My sister's middle name is Mae so folks get that a lot"

"What do you want to be called?"

"Just Daisy is fine. " She says "or Daisy Nelle if you run into another Daisy"

"Daisy, I gotta talk to my math teacher." Glum.

"Oh, so it IS my sister you want. Ah, sorry. She lives at Rivervale now. I mean, classes are over so she went home"

"Her new home" She adds

"Oh. Ok. I'll wait to talk to her, then."

"Well, if you want , I can show you the trod to rivervale. It's by the footbridge" She says

"Mmmm.... nah. Thanks. I know how to get there." He kind of... stands there. And... "You're Daisy? " A smile.

"Daisy" She says a funny look on her face "Isn't that Bad a name is it?"

"No. I like it."

"A flower, right? Nice to meet you, Daisy." with a smile.

"Nice meeting you. Sis told me about you. Said you're a hard worker"

"I try, yeah."

"Sorry you're not likingit here."

"Yeah, well..... "

"I mean... shit. Sorry. No, I mean.... I don't know."

A confused look then "Did someone treat you badly here? I know sidhe are..well, we're a bit hostile. No lie there" An admission "We're working on it"

"Daisy, I'd lke to talk to you later. I'd like your number. I'd like....... I'd like to .....later. But right now I have.... uh, chores."

"Oh " She blushes "Sure, my phone's not fancy but i get texts" She hands it over hopeful

He takes her digits. "I'll call you."

"Sure.. you know" Nervous laugh "if you want to"
