Kwucker

Chapter 1

It was officially the start of Senior year at Casper high school. Summer vacation went by fast I have to say, despite helping Danny fight off some ghost throughout the time. Over the summer, I was able to update my PDA, acquire some new gadgets, and a few other things so that I'll be ready for whatever this year has in store for me. What can I say; I'll always be a Tehnco Geek. One things changed about me, though; The last week before school ended and summer vacation began, I told Danny and Sam that I was gay and the one person I found attractive throughout the entire school was someone that they wouldn't believe...that person was Kwan Cho, Dash Baxter's right hand man, co-captain of the football team, one of the most popular guys in school, and my bully. Yes, Kwan tends to pick on me, Danny, and Sam, but that's only when Dash is around. Other than that, Kwan is a really good guy when it's just him by himself. I think Sam saw a bit of that three years ago when he got kicked out of the popular crowd for a minute cause of Danny and Paulina...Well, technically, cause of Kitten who was possessing Paulina's body to make Johnny 13 jealous.

Anyway, yeah I have a crush on Kwan. He had a rockin bod, he was tall, he was smart, funny, friendly, he had the most gorgeous green eyes I ever seen. I guess my attraction towards him began during the 2nd semester of tenth grade. We bumped into each other at the park; He was out running and I was on my way home after, well, with Danny and Sam checking for ghosts near by, we got to talking for a while as he walked me home, one thing led to another, and well, the rest is history. I want to tell Kwan that I liked him as more than just a friend, but there are some obstacles in my way of doing that. One: I fear of being rejected and ruining our friendship. Two: I'm not sure if he's even gay or possibly bi. Three: How will he react. And Four: His bitch of an ex-girlfriend, Star Valentine, keeps popping up where she's not wanted.

"Tucker!" "Huh? What?" I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Danny call out my name. "Jesus, man. I've been trying to get your attention." He said, we were walking over to Sam's place so we could walk to school together. "Oh, sorry, Danny. I was wrapped up in my thoughts." I said as I took out my PDA. "Yeah...wishing you were wrapped up on Kwan." He snickered. "S-Shut up, damn it!" I yelled at him, blushing red, and almost dropping my PDA. "I'm only joking, Tuck." He said as we arrived at Sam's place.

He was still laughing as I rang the door bell. We heard footsteps coming towards the door, the door opened and Sam answered. She was wearing black skinny jeans with a tear at the knee, a black and purple crop tee, and ankle boots. Her hair grew longer pass the shoulders and she still wore the purple lipstick. She stepped outside and shut the door behind her.

"Hey guys, ready to go?" She asked. "Yeah." We both answered, all of us heading down the stairs and making our way to school. "Hey, Tuck, why's your face all red?" She asked. "Kwaaaaaan." Said Danny. "Can't you fly to school today, ghost boy?"

Everyone was gathered in the halls; meeting up with old friends and talking about what they did over the summer and what they think will happen during the school year. Of course, everybody thinks that it'll have something to do with ghosts, I don't know; A lot of ghosts shit happen in Amity Park. I was sitting outside at the lunch benches with Dash and Paulina, I have yet to see Star anywhere. Dash was talking about some junk he did with his parents over the summer, while Paulina was fixing her make up. I wasn't paying much attention on the count that Tucker and his friends were showing up at school and my sight stayed on techno geek as he walked by.

I couldn't stop staring at him. He was wearing a dark yellow shirt that was a tad bit big for him so it hung of part of his shoulder and the sleeves were down to his hand that only his fingers were exposed, dark green skinny pants that hugged his legs, brown boots, his red orange hat, his glasses that hid those teal green eyes of his, his book bag, and of course he couldn't be techno geek without that PDA of his. He was laughing with his friends and my eyes fixated on his smile...He has the cutest smile, ever. Our eyes met and he waved at me, I smiled back at him, and his face blushed slightly red...Man he's so cute.

"When are you gonna tell him that to his face?" Asked Paulina, I didn't even realize that I was thinking out loud and my face flushed red. "I-I don't know...I'm trying my find the right moment." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck. "You broke up with Star cause you started to grow feelings with Foley. Dude, you know with her crazy catholic ways and shit; she's not gonna stop trying to convince you that you're not gay and that Foley's trying to corrupt you." Said Dash. "I'm not gay, I'm bisexual...And you don't think I know that? Everytime I get the chance to be alone with Foley, she's always popping up out of nowhere, giving him a death glare, and trying to talk to me."

I broke up with Star last year in September. When she asked me why, I didn't tell her that I was growing feelings for Tucker, but I did tell her that I was growing feelings for someone else. She understood at first, but when she found out it was Tucker, who was a guy, she went all religious on me and tried so many times to convince me that "it's have sex with a man." Or "He's gonna drag me to hell with him." And I'm just like...God. After I broke up with her I told Dash about Tucker and he told Paulina; For right now, Those are the only people who know about my feelings for Techno geek.

"Look, Kwan, even though she's my friend, I don't agree with her religious ways. Besides, you shouldn't worry about her; This is our last year before we all go our separate ways so you need to tell that nerd how you feel before it's too late." Said Paulina.

As I thought about it the bell rang and everyone started to head inside the school, including us. As I walked down the hall to my first class which was English, I saw Tucker at his locker getting some things out of it, he looked at me from the corner of his eye and his face turned red. He his his face behind the locker door, but i saw him smile a bit as he did...I felt a smile come across my face, too, and my heart start to race as I walked up to him.

"H-Hey Tucker." I greeted. "Oh, uh...H-Hi Kwan. What's up?" He greeted back as he looked down at his feet and played with his fingers.

I chuckled as I shut his locker and moved closer to him. It was just us in the hallway so it made the environment a bit nerve recking but a bit easier since now one was watching us.

"Nothing much, just kinda glad to be back in school. You know, football and junk...Can you believe this is our last year?" I asked. "Y-yeah, it's kinda hard to believe. Just a while ago you and Dash were calling me Techno Geek or Bad Luck Tuck...Well, you still call me Techno Geek." He said. "Heh, well what can I say? You're a wiz with technology; The name just kinda stuck on you." We both laughed, then the warning bell rung...Way to screw the moment. "Well...I...I should get to class before I get detention." He said as he started to walk away. "See ya later, Kwan." "Ah, Wait! Tucker!" I grabbed him by his hand, causing him to stop in his tracks, he looked back up at me with wide, teal green eyes and his face bright red. "I, uh...I..." "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Suddenly we heard a scream coming from down the hall and a crowd running towards us. They were running from something, but I couldn't see what it was. The crowd came closer, but wasn't aware of our presences, making Kwan pin me back against the locker, holding me tightly and protectively so we don't fall on to the floor and get trampled. Once the crowd died down, Kwan and I looked to where the students were running from, and then we saw a huge, white ghost bird with razor sharp talons and a knife like beak flying towards us. Great, of all the days to forget my Fenton thermos, it had to be today. The bird let out a huge screech that could make a person's ears bleed, so we covered our ears. Luckily, Danny, or should I say, Danny Phantom was right behind it.

"Run, you two!" He yelled as tackled the bird and faded into the wall. "C'mon, Kwan!" I grabbed Kwan's hand and down the hall, I wanted to help Danny, but I needed to get Kwan somewhere safe first.

We ran through the school until we hit one of the classrooms that was completely empty. I pushed the door opened and as soon as Kwan and I were both in I shut the door behind us. We sat on the floor, I closed my eyes as I leaned my head against Kwan's broad shoulder, I could hear him breathing heavily as I was and his head lean against the top of mine.

"Ah...Are...Are you...okay?" I asked in between breaths. "Heh. Ye...Yeah. First day back...and already...a fucking...ghost bird...shows up." He said.

I opened my eyes, adjusting to the dark classroom with the only light is from outside the hallway. I looked down at the floor in between us and I notice that I was still holding Kwan's hand, he was warm and bigger than mines. Well, he is on the football team. He gently squeezed it...his hand felt nice in mine, I didn't want to let go...and be the felt of his squeeze, neither did he, but I couldn't stay; I need to go find Danny and help him if I can.

I sat up off his shoulder and let go of his hand, I could see the disappointment in his eyes as I looked up at him. I looked up out the classroom door window and peaked out in the hallway to see if the coast was clear. I didn't here anything or see anything, so this looked like a good chance to make our escape.

"Way to start Senior Year, huh?" I joked. "I think the coast is clear. We need to hurry and get out of here, and I need to find Danny." I said. "It's still hard to believe that Fenton is really Phantom, and that you, Sam, and his sister been putting your lives on the line just to protect the people who were mean to you." He said. "Yeah, well...That crap is all history now. I just want to focus on the future...if I live to see it." I said. "You'll see it, I know you will. And hopefully I'll be in it as well." My eyes widen at his words and my cheeks flared up. "W-What do you mean by that?" I asked as I looked down at him from the corner of my eye.

He realized what he said and his eyes widen and his face turned red. He looked away from me, embarrassed of course...cute, I thought.

"Uh...W-w-well...It - it's nothing, forget I said that." He rubbed the back of his neck, he got up beside me and peaked out into the hall. "Alright." He crawled over to the door knob and grabbed it, grabbing my hand again in the process. "Let's go."

He opened the door and we ran.
