Charmed and Dangerous

Chapter 1: Paige Smith

It was a typical, Monday morning in the town known as Amity Park. The weather was warm and many people were upset that the weekend was over and the fact that they now hard to face another hard week. So they started getting up to prepare for work, or if they were younger...school.

In an average house, in an average neighborhood, lived an average family who was about to start their day.

"Paige honey, it's time to wake up...'A mother's voice rang through the house.

It made a youth stir awake, yawning as she was finally woken up.

It was a teenage girl with braces and long brown hair, who got out of bed. She did her daily routine of showering, brushing her teeth(being extra careful due to her braces),getting dressed and brushing her hair.

Her long brown hair was pulled into a ponytail, she had blue eyes and mostly just had average looks. She was also wearing a modest blue hoodie, jeans and sneakers and she wasn't wearing a lot of makeup either. She wasn't ugly mind you but she wasn't exactly what one would call a knock-out.

She was just an average girl with average looks.

'As always, this is as good as it's gonna get...'The girl sighed as she went down stairs to join her family for breakfast.

This girl was named Paige...Paige Smith and she was just a normal girl with a normal life. She had a mom and a dad, and a younger brother and an older sister who was currently away at college right now. She soon saw her mother making breakfast, her father reading the paper and her little brother playing with his toy rocket.

Just like every morning...

Her mother was named Sharon Smith, a plump, middle aged woman with red hair who worked part time as a florist, her father name was Harold who had thinning brown hair, and he had a noticeable gut. He was a local insurance salesman and her brother was named Billy, who was a ten years old boy with red hair who's whole world seem to revolve around pranks, playing with toys and trying to avoid eating his vegetables. Her older sister Jilly moved out last year for college and was studying to be a nurse.

All and all, this was just a typical, nothing special American family, in a typical setting...

"Good morning sweetie, did you sleep well?..."Her mother Sharon asked in a perky tone as she place some pancakes in front of her.

"Yes mom..."Paige said as she began to eat breakfast.

"Lift off in 5-4-3-2-1...BLAST OFF!..."Her little brother Billy shouted as he kept playing with his toy rocket.

"Enough Billy, time for breakfast..."Their mother scolded as she placed his breakfast for him to eat.

"So any plans today, pumpkin?...'Her father Harold asked, glancing away from his paper.

"Not really dad, just gonna go to school and then to my shift at the Nasty Burger..."Paige said as she thought about her part time job she's had since last summer.

Sure, being a cashier wasn't exactly the most glamourous or the most fun job ever, but it sure beats being the mascot and she liked having her own extra money without needing to rely on her folks.

"Oh honey, you better hurry or you'll miss the bus...'Her mother said as she pointed to the clock.

Paige gulped when she realized that it was already 7:25...The bus will be here in about five minutes..

"Oh man, you're right..."Paige said as she shoveled down the rest of her breakfast, took a swing of her orange juice and then got up...

"Later..."Paige said.

"Honey wait, don't forget your lunch..." Her mother called her.

Paige ran back and got it, but not before saying goodbye to her mother. She then ran outside and soon turned the corner. Unfortunately, the bus had just left.

"WAIT!..."Paige said in in dismay as she missed the bus...again...

"Darn it...'Paige said in frustration.

Maybe if she was fast enough, she could make it back home and her dad could give her a ride before he left for work...The brunette girl ran back and was relieved to see that her dad was just beginning to pull out of the driveway.

"Um...daddy...'Paige said looking sheepishly.

"Hop in pumpkin..."Her dad said with a sign as he let his daughter in the car.


At Casper High

Paige ran inside and was relieved that the first bell didn't ring yet. She had the bad luck of her dad getting into a small traffic jam, but at the very least, she still had five minutes left before class starts.

'Made it..."Paige said as she made it to her locker, and managed to get her books in order.

However, she heard some laughter nearby and sighed when she saw it was the ever popular, ever glamorous, "we're so much better than you A-listers". The de facto leader of the group was the school's quarterback Dash Baxter, next to him was the school beauty queen Paulina Sanchez and their runner ups Kwan Li and Star Strong. They were the coolest kids in school who had all the money, all the looks and all the popularity than an average girl like her didn't posses.

"I was like "No way", and he was like 'Yes way"..."Paulina said to Star.

"Like, no way".."Star answered.

They didn't notice her as they passed her by, obviously talking about something cool and fun. Paige sighed and looked in longing. She often wondered what it was like to be as popular as them, to be as pretty as Paulina and Star and get to go to all of the coolest parties.

Sadly, she wouldn't know since she wasn't popular, she was just...average.

"It must be nice to be like them...'She muttered as she began to walk to her homeroom.

However, she heard the doors burst and frantic footsteps, she looked and felt her heart all a flutter at what she saw.

It was a boy that was her around age, with spiky black hair, sky blue eyes and he was wearing a white and red shirt, blue jeans and red sneakers. He looked like he was trying to beat the clock, much like her. It was the school's not-so famous Danny Fenton, school brainiac's Jazz's younger brother and the guy Paige has taken a fancy to, even if he didn't know about it.

She liked him. Sure, he wasn't muscular or tall like the jocks, but Paige couldn't take her eyes off him. He might have been considered average, the kind of guy that just blends into the crowd, but Paige was very drawn to him, ever since last semester when she bumped into him into the hall and he helped picked up her books, although she doubted that he even remembered such a thing.

There was just...something about him that appeals to her. He actually is really cute when you took the time to actually try and notice him...and he was definitely much nicer than the school's jocks who spent the time throwing nerds into lockers, that's for sure.

"Danny..."Paige whispered as she felt a little flush on her face, but couldn't move until he passed her...unaware that she was even there as he went to his locker which was on the other side of the hallway.

She watched him gather his things and then talked to his friends, a geeky tech boy named Tucker Foley and a very pretty goth girl named Sam Manson, who made Paige frown at her in jealousy, not that she even noticed as she was too busy plainly flirting with Danny even if she would deny it.

"I wonder how he is...'Paige muttered as she wished she could at least go up and say "Hi" to him but...

She just couldn't do it without fearing that she would make a fool out of herself in front of him, so she let him and his friends pass her, just like always...She sent him another longing look.

Paige really liked him, despite being a little on the lanky side and despite not being popular, he was really cute, she especially liked his blue eyes and he was nice too, at least when he helped pick up her books after they bumped into each other. She wanted to date him but she was really shy around boys in general, she has tried to approach him but she got too nervous and just chickened out each time. It was just so frustrating. They have communicated before but nothing special, he sometimes would ask her to loan him an extra pen during class time and one time he asked her for the time and she would answer but couldn't think of any small talk before he went back to his friends.

It...it was just so frustrating...especially since despite not being popular, Danny has a few girls that were after him like Valerie Gray and his goth friend Sam Manson if the rumors were to be believed.

What's worse was that both girls were very pretty while Paige was just...

"Average..."She thought sadly as she went to her homeroom, where Danny already was, talking to his friends.

She took her seat that was right behind his, but he still didn't notice at all. He was completely oblivious to the fact that she even existed at all, especially when so many beautiful girls like Paulina, Star, Sam and Valerie were in this very classroom. In a school filled with cliques like the A-Listers, hyper-geniuses like Jazz Fenton and even unique non-populars like Danny's friends, if was hard to be noticed...even Danny was special since he came from a family of ghost hunters...In a place like this, Paige was practically a like a background character in everyone else's life...

She was just...she was just...

Average...

She wasn't special at all. If anything, the only unique thing about her is that she dyes her hair from red to brown but no one besides her best friend Missy even noticed. They don't notice her because she was average...in other words, not interesting...

She looked to see Danny and his friends in an amical conversation and her friend Missy took her seat next to her.

"Hi Paige..."Missy greeted.

"Hi Missy...'Paige greeted before going back to her sulking.

She'd give anything to be noticed like they all were...To get Danny's attention and to be popular like the A-Listers. She really just wanted to be noticed...

However, her sulking was cut short when the bell finally rang and Mr. Lancer came in to start class. Paige sighed and decided to resign to the fact that today was going to be another average, boring day in the life of average, boring Paige Smith.

The Assignment


A/N: I hope you all enjoyed the new installation on my "Lost episodes" series.

Also just to let you know this isn't an OC. This girl is the same girl who appeared at the end of flirting with Disaster, after Danny and Val broke up and she asked out loud if Danny had a thing for brunettes. I gave her the name Paige since she is mostly a background character. She also appears in my DP one-shot "Do you think he likes brunettes?".

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter.


:) Till next time beautiful people, remember to read and review :)
