Chapter one: Calm before the storm.
Take a hint by: Nesy
" There are the hints of life
Underlined for you to thrive
Open your eyes
They are in plain sight
Not in disguise
But right in the light
To find the solution
Behind the equation "
Things couldn't get any whose. Ey! That's what he wished but he knew it would only jinx him. For some reason he blamed this day on Tucker, well it's only plausible since he was the one who cursed him.
I guess you're wondering why is this day so horrible, well...
Tuesday night
He stayed up to study for his Mathematics test that was tomorrow since he was failing it.
Wednesday morning
He studied up to twelve midnight and when was about to catch some Z's his ghost sense went off. Turns out it was only the box ghost. As if that wasn't enough three more ghosts decide to pop up. Skulker (Who wanted his pelt, Eww!), Plasmius (Who was talking about chase) and some ghost with a sword that spits out ice (in which Danny stole it from him).
After all those ghostly encounters, he was severely injured and had to make a quick stop at Sam's house.
Everything was all alright until someone started to feel guilty about pushing someone to go into a portal. For some reason that became an argument that ended with tears and a bunch of apologies.
School day
He went home diagnosed with two broken ribs, a small crack on his skull, a deep gush on his chest that would leave a scar, a sprained ankle and a black eye.
When he came back home he immediately took a bath since he smelled like sweat and blood.
He changed into a grey t-shirt and wore a unbuttoned white shirt over it. Black (not too tight and not too loose) jeans and white sneakers. To top it a off a white beanie to cover up the bandages on his head and sunglasses for his black eye.
He knew that they was no use sleeping now and went downstairs, grabbed an apple and dashed out of the house with a quick, "Bye mom, bye dad!" avoiding the questions about his condition that he knew would surely come. Luckily he got to school just in time. When he entered the halls people gave him odd looks probably because of the limp in his step or the new look.
He ignored them.
Danny met up with Sam and Tucker at the lockers and this is typically were the story starts.
From bad to better
"Hey Sam, Hey Tucker," he greeted them with a smile.
They both turned to him. At first sight Sam looked down and Tucker's mouth was agape. Sam awkwardly resumed to taking out her her books from the locker for two different reasons.
"What's with the totally new look," Tucker said. Danny shrugged and simply stated, "Ghosts." Tucker nodded slowly. They was silence amongst them. Not the comfortable one but the nerve wracking one.
Luckily for them the warning bell rang and they dashed to class.
Sadly first lesson was Math. The teacher came in with a haughty smile on her face. She dropped a stack of papers on her desk. "Well, well, well guess what! It's the test that is worth fifty percent of your grade!" She laughed maniacally.
He handed out the papers and smiled when she got to Danny's desk, "I know you can do it sweetie. You need this subject if you want to increase your chances of being an astronaut," she said sweetly, "Oh! And remove your glasses, it's a school policy." Danny's expression faltered, "Is it too late to say that I'm photophobic," he joked.
She nodded and removed his shades.
Miss Diaz was awestruck at what she saw. "What happened," she said worriedly as she quickly put his glasses back on. "I hit my head at the edge a door, how and why, please don't ask," he lied smoothishly (l know it's not a word... but it is now)
She handed him the question paper and sheet. With a nod and a smile she left.
He-he and people ask him why she is his favorite teacher. It was not long ago when he discovered that the strawberry haired teacher was Lancer's niece.
"You may start," she said shortly.
The shuffling of papers could be heard throughout the room.
Right! he thought Question one: Dang, it's algebra!
You know those times after an examination and everyone is discussing the answers and everyone is agreeing on the answer 84 but your answer is -4 ... Well at the moment Danny was enduring that time.
He slammed his head onto the table only to deeply regret it when he remembered he had a cracked skul.
He groaned in pain.
"Alright class, while you were busy sleeping, chatting and discussing answers l marked all your tests and it pains me to know that most of you failed horribly and some of you did exceptionally well," she smiled and looked at Danny.
She began called out people's names and their marks outloud. One by one everyone stood up and received their question papers, looking downcast.
"Sam Manson, A" Sam looked shocked, after all she claimed that the test had been difficult. "Foley! Get your butt in gear and explain yourself! How could you fail number 2a?" Tucker bowed his head and received his paper, "Sorry..." he apologized barely audible. "It's mistakes like these that give you B's, they sting!" With that Tucker took his sit. Finally the last paper was, "DJ Fenton!" Everyone laughed at the pet name. Danny got up and sauntered to his teacher.
"A-" she softly said. He was dumbstruck. "You're mistaken," Danny said in awe. "Yes, yes l am, you were supposed to get a solid A like your girlfriend," she said.
Simultaneously, "She's (I'm) not my (his) girlfriend!"
"Sure you're not," Ma'am Diaz rolled her eyes and smiled. Just then the siren for second period sounded.
Physical education
Danny found a dark side in the boys Locker room to change in. Tucker stood in front of him to make sure no one would see his bandages.
Luckily for him his black eye had healed. He quickly changed and waited for Tucker. Danny was downright tired. He walked sluggishly to the gym with his best friend. Sadly for them they was a obstacle race course.
Tucker and Sam had completed theirs now it was Danny's turn.
He was up against Dash, Mikey and Vince. (I know right, bad combination) Danny walked over to the starting line, so did the rest of his opponents.
"On your marks! Get set! Ready! Go!"
With that they started running. Danny was currently last because of the fact that he was tired, sleepy and his ankle hadn't fully healed yet. After three obstacles heading for the last one his body couldn't bare it and more. Dash had completed rope climbing and rang his bell, Vince was still climbing and Mikey was tying his shoe, wait what!
When Vince dinged his bell Danny was three quarters up.
Suddenly his vision became blurry and he started to struggle to keep consciousness. He couldn't feel his legs and his hands started to feel numb. The darknes engulfed him and he fell from the rope.
Freefalling to the ground and landed on his back.
Tetslaff ran to him and gave him a check up. Sam and Tucker stood closely behind her as she did her work.
She checked his temperature, he was very very cold. Wow talk about being knocked out cold.
She checked the vitals and gasped, they were really slow. Almost after every five to ten seconds his heart would beat. Now last but not least his breathing. He was not breathing!
"Anyone who wants to practice the kiss of life! He isn't breathing!" She yelled. As if pigs could fly, Paulina stepped forward. Sam saw red. The queen bee knelt down beside him and she neared his face. She was now getting closer and closer and closer, until...
A hand went on her mouth and she squeaked. "Sorry but reserved," Danny suddenly said opening one eye. He opened the other, "What is going on and why do l feel like crap," he complained as he slowly got up. He stood up and fell on his knees and hands. He closed his eyes in pain. He forced it down and stood up again. He blushed when he saw that all eyes were on him. He looked around nervously and his ghost sense went off, "Oh, darn"
It was now time for third period and Danny wasn't back yet. They sat in English class waiting for Lancer and most importantly Danny.
When Lancer came into the they shared worried glances.
"Okay students, settle down," he commanded. "Let's get down to business, shall we?" He started to teach about one of Shakespeare's stories...poem?... No one was exactly paying attention to him. Most of the boys were staring at Paulina wondering what the heck had gotten into her.
Suddenly Lancer stopped droning and looked at the empty seat, "Where's Daniel?" He asked. The door slammed open, "Here!" All eyes averted to the boy who was leaning heavily on the door frame, looking like he had just ran a marathon. He steadily got his balance and walked over to Lancer and held his hand out to him. Confused he asked the teen, "What?" "Detention slip," he simply stated.
He didn't know what to think of his student at the moment. He flagged him off and Danny took his seat.
Sam passed him a note.
Who was it?
Box ghost
Tucker joined in.
Wow it took you that long to take down boxy? Pathetic!
Ain't my fault l'm freaking tired besides l also ran into Vlad
What did he want?
Told me to go back to school, it's good for me and disappeared.
That's all...
Wierd... since when did he start caring about you education
He doesn't
Tucker read the last part and stuffed the note into his pocket when Lancer cleared his throat, indicating that he was seeking attention.
"Since today we are meant to have a half lesson, Mr Fenton you typically missed the lesson. Why? All of you may ask, well we have an important guest today, may l introduce the mayor." Danny's heart dropped. What could he probably want?
Vlad walked into the room with his secretary walking close behind. When he locked his gaze with Danny, he grinned. Oh how Danny wished to remove that smug smile off his face. "Why, hello young citizens of Amity Park." To everyone his expression seemed humble and loving but to the trio it was cold and sinister. "I suppose you all remember the Northwestern 9 standardized test?" He asked. Everyone nodded their heads.
"And the Cramtastic Mark 5, the study aid machine incident?" He continued.
Everyone nodded vigorously remembering the Ember McClain incident instead. "Well, l am introducing new state of the art technology the Craminator 6.0 that will guarantee you with straight A's," suddenly everyone's hopes of a personal Ember McClain concert was crushed.
"Your class will be the first one's to use it to see the results, the main function for this piece of technology is to help you to learn how to Find the solution behind the equation ," all the students started Booing, but Vlad took no hind to them, "Now, now children, let's not get ahead of our selves. Huh? What does he mean by that? Danny wonders.
"First we need your parents permission to complete this task, Bella if you don't mind," he looked at his Secretary. She handed out indemnity forms to the students and return to her position behind Vlad. "You must take these to your parents today and they are due tomorrow morning since this procedure is to be carried out in the afternoon."
He announced "Good day and try not to cause trouble," he looked at Danny.
This was just great.
If this feels a little too rushed, sorry. If any of the characters are ooc, sorry. If you don't like my story, sor-that's your own problem. Just to point out a few things, this story takes place when they are sixteen, no PP. Any who this was a long-start chapter and now l want to sleep.
SO BLAH!
