Fenton, Phantom and I

It's started when a day, I caught someone with my eyes. He's not a popular guy, but I know, his heart is, such a priceless. He's selfless… He's hardworking and never give up with running 100 meters at gym, even though he's the last one running… and he always accept everyone's gifts happily, no matter how low it is. I always am thinking about him, no matter when it's I walked together with Tucker, or when I walked home.

I opened a window of my room, stared at the blue sky, which is looked like his eyes. I just thinking; I want to be his closest friend, but… how to?

I just started to leave, but before I can walk away, an invisible hand holding my right hand. I started to scream non-understandable, but another invisible hand covered my mouth. Those hands became visible, and I saw a silver-haired ghost—my best friend, Danny.

"Sssh… it's me." Danny said, with sweating a little on his face. He let my hand and mouth go.

"Danny! Its really creep me out!" I yelled to him.

"Sorry, I thought you already used with it," he is grinned, and chuckled. "Are you thinking of something?"

"Uh… not really…" I lied. How can I talk to him about a guy?

Although he's a ghost, he's my closest friend, and only Danny and I know it. I never hide anything to him, except… the fact that I have a crush on him… but it's impossible a ghost like him ended up with me, right?

"Sam?" Danny asked. "What's the problem with you? You've been acting weird lately. Come on, tell me. I'm your best friend, after all."

Riiiight… I think want or not, I have to say it to him. "Well… I like some guy from school…" I said half whisper. "He's selfless and hardworking, I think he's nice guy." I continued, without realizing that Danny's expression changed.

Awkward silent begun after I said the guy I like, until Danny asked, "Who is he?"

"Well… I don't really know his first name, but his surname is Fenton. He has ravened black hair and wears silver glasses above his blue sky eyes."

The emerald green-eyed ghost looked to my face. "Sam, there's something I need to tell you, from long time ago…"

I looked to him, with confused face. Danny has a secret?

"SAMMY-KINS!! DINNER'S READY!!" My mom yelled half singing from downstairs.

"That's my mom! Sorry, you better go, see you tomorrow," I said to Danny, with guilty face.

"Ah, sure," He disappeared.

I ran to downstairs, and walked to dinner table. "Where's my salad?" I asked.

"No salad for tonight, dear," My mom smiling to my annoyed face. It took me so long to eat my dad's smoking beef steak. After it, I walked to bathroom for brushing my teeth, and go sleep.

I'm not a morning person, but I've never late to go to my school, Casper High. And… I woke up with my alarm on my face; it's 8:39 a.m. I have to rush to go to my school this morning. I had to wear my sweater, because this morning is really cold. No wonder, today we already started November. After got everything's ready, I jumped from the window of my room. It's high, but it's not my problem.

"Hello, mistress," I heard a voice from nearest tree.

"Danny!" I have no time for complaining how he called me.

"Wow, who could tell Samantha Manson can be late to school? No wonder why this morning is really cold, maybe today snow will fall?"

Can't help but I feel annoyed. "YOU…"

Before I can finish my words, Danny already left me up, and flew high to the sky.

"W-whoa…!"

"What? It's not like we're flying together for first time."

Ah, riiight… we always did this when we're still children. I missed those moments. We're stopped at Casper High Park. Danny putted me down. "Thank you so much, Danny!" I ran to my school buildings, with my record, 11 seconds per kilometers. When I arrived at my class, bell rang. I sat down next to Tucker.

"Wow… didn't see that coming! You almost late, I guess snow would be fallen today," Tucker said.

"Nothing to do with it, Tuck…" I said, half groaning.

The Class door opened again, I thought it was Mr. Lancer, but it's Fenton. He's late? Fenton is always on time, like me. Maybe he had something to do this morning. Fenton walked to his seat, which is 2 seats next to me.

"Tucker, do you know anything about Fe-" Before I could finish my sentences, Mr. Lancer already got into the class.

"What?" Tucker asked.

"Never mind,"

*****

Lunch time bell rang, before I asked Tucker to go to canteen together, Tucker already said, "Sorry Sam, I have to do something with my computer club,"

"Oh, yeah, that's okay." This is my first time I'm going to eat alone, since I met Tucker in 2nd grade.

After I got everything for my lunch, I looked around, every table already full. I saw Fenton eating his burger, alone.

Come on, Sammy, it's your chance to eating lunch together with him. Can't help but I feel I have to do what myself said to me. I walked to Fenton's place. "Hey, may I sit with you? Every table has full already."

"Oh, sure." Half blushing, Fenton allowed me to sit together with him.

"Thanks." I sit on a seat in front of him, to face him. "Well, we're classmates, but I don't know your full name," Ah… I know I talked like a dumb, but hey it's real I don't know his first name.

"My name is Daniel Fenton. You're Samantha, right?"

"Yeah, just call me Sam for short. So… Daniel?"

"Ah, call me Danny for short,"

"Dan…ny?" I surprised. "Coincidence? My friend is named Danny, too."

Danny almost spitted his drink, and luckily, not toward to me. "U, Uhm… Well… yeah… I mean… uh…"

"Guess there's a lot of guys named Danny." I grinned.

"Ah… yeah… I remember it…" Danny laughed nervously.

"Remember what?"

"N-nothing."

Danny Fenton and I talked while eating our lunch. He's awesome, I enjoyed talking with him. I felt I've talked with this guy for million times before, maybe it's just me.
