Hey people! Okay, I know, I really shouldn't start a new story right now but it kept nagging me until i actally wrote it. So...here we are...hope you like it!

Dear Diary,

Amity Park's summer carnival is coming to town on Saturday. Personally, I really don't care for it, but Danny and Tucker SOMEHOW convinced me to go with them. I'm not stupid; I know why they wanted to go. One word:

Paulina.

God I hate that girl! She thinks she's better than everyone else just because guys are drooling over her. Am I honestly the only one that actually sees her for what she truly is? A shallow, bratty, fan girl whose only hopes of ever getting the guy she's actually going for are next to impossible. I really hope Danny turns her down…I really, really do. This morning he showed some hope of actually doing so. I was so happy (though my gothic profile will never allow me to show it) I will admit…I was happy. Oh great, now I'm blushing…I don't like Danny like that! And I'm tired of people always saying that I do! Especially Paulina! Maybe that's what made me hit her…

"You-hoo Danny!" Paulina waved from the other end of the sidewalk, interrupting our conversation. I instantly felt a cold shadow fall over me as my hatred for the preppy Latino girl grew. My friends and I were sitting on the stairs in front of Danny's house, trying to come up with an idea to entertain ourselves for the evening. Then she came, skipping and smiling her fake, flirtatious smile. Tucker glanced at me. I know he did, but I didn't care. My eyes were focused on the phony female that had now reached my best friend.

I felt like tackling Danny to the ground in an attempt to rescue him from Ms. Perfect, but I thought that might be a little harsh…

So there I sat, barely listening to the conversation the two in front of me were having, but that doesn't mean I didn't catch all of it…

"So, Danny," Paulina chirped, brushing her long wavy hair out of her face, "The carnival is coming to town, and I was wondering if you were going to be there."

"Uh, yeah I'm going with Sam and Tuck," he motioned to us, I felt a smile spread on my face and excitement bubbled in stomach. I was enjoying seeing Paulina frown disappointedly.

Tell her to buzz off Danny! I thought, and almost shouted too. If Tucker didn't nudge me in my ribs I probably would have.

"Oh, really?" Paulina smiled and the hatred grew in me again, "Good, cause I wanted to see the ghost boy there and he wouldn't come if you didn't go…"

"Danny Phantom doesn't stalk Danny!" I snapped at the Latino girl who glared at me. I think Tucker started giggling but my hatred toward Paulina was the only thing I was focusing on right now.

"I know that loser!" Paulina was quick to respond to my outburst, "But the ghost boy didn't come to my quince años and when I checked my guest list aftermy fiesta then I noticed that Danny didn't come either. None of you losers did. So I was just checking to make sure that Danny was going to the carnival so that way I can finally kiss the ghost boy!" She put on a dreamy face and I felt like gagging. Danny smirked, I couldn't see his face…but I know a small smile was there. Paulina walked away (THANK GOD!) still in her daydreaming state.

"I hate her," I muttered, somewhat to myself, but I know I said it loud enough for Danny and Tucker to hear.

"She's not that bad Sam," Danny said, turning around to face us at last, "If only she liked the other me!"

Yes, Danny, I mocked in my head, if only she liked you, if only you and her started dating, if only Columbus had a motor boat, he would've got here faster…

"So are you going to go to the carnival as Danny Phantom then?" Tucker asked, Danny shrugged.

"I did promise her he'd be there at her birthday…"

"But you didn't promise her now." I said coldly. Danny shrugged again.

"I don't know. I might, but…I highly doubt I will." He looked at the ground in thought.

Liar, I hissed in my head, you just watch, a ghost is going to attack the carnival and the first thing you're going to do when you're done is go running to that shallow little b-"

"Before you decide to do something drastic Danny, you really should stop and consider the consequences of making Paulina happy." Tucker interrupted my cursing thoughts, "Don't you think your parents are going to be there? Sam's right, you didn't promise her Danny Phantom was going, and if you ask me, I don't think you should."

I love you Tucker! I cheered in my head, Knock some since into him, make him make Paulina feel stupid(er)…

"Yeah, you're probably right," Danny hung his head and for a split second I felt terrible. If him seeing Paulina makes him happy and I'm ruining it just because I hate the girl…that just makes me as shallow as her.

"Danny, if you want to see Paulina at the carnival go ahead…" Where were these words coming from! "Just…be careful okay?" Danny smiled at me and I think my heart melted, then shattered when he said his next words…

"Okay Sam," I bit my lip, really close to slapping myself right now, "Maybe I will." I put on a fake smile and got up off the stairs.

"I really should be heading home," I managed to chock out, Danny didn't notice my words were hard to say, but Tucker did, "I'll see you guys later…" Walking down the steps I hung my head, and headed home, catching a sympathetic look from Tucker before I left.

What did I do? I just gave the one boy I actually liked permission to see another girl!

Whoa! I stopped in my tracks.

Back up! Did I just say like? I meant as a friend! Definitely as a friend, nothing else…just…

I couldn't help the disappointed sigh that escaped my lips.

…a friend.

I walked the rest of the way home with nothing on my mind. Well, almost all the way. I stopped when I ran into her.

I was almost home to.

Paulina was out of her 'I love the ghost boy' state and was back to her usual, obnoxious self. We were going opposite ways but neither of us were going to move for the other. Our stubbornness might have been what made us bump into each other…

"Watch where you're going freak!" The Latino shouted at me, placing her hand on her hip and glaring evilly. My god she looked stupid, "Now I have to burn my clothes, they got goth sweat all over them!" I felt my teeth grinding in my mouth.

"For the last time!" I snapped, "Goth's don't sweat! We-"

"Simmer! I know!" She added rolling her eyes, "Either way, you're just an ugly loser goth-geek who's never going to get Fenton as a date!" I felt my fingers coiling into fists. That should have been Paulina's first clue to back off, but she kept at it.

"I don't know why he doesn't ask you out already! You two losers will be perfect for each other! Oh wait! I know why you're not dating! He's too busy liking me." My face got hot with anger and embarrassment. I didn't say anything back, though my mind was rushing with insults. I had to calm down. If I didn't, I might do something I would regret…

"That's only one reason though," Paulina continued, she needed to just shut her mouth and walk away before I tore her up, "the other is because you're just an ugly little goth freak, with geeky friends-AH!" That was it. That's all it took. With all my force I plunged at the Latino girl and gave her an uppercut in the jaw she wasn't going to soon forget. Falling to the ground, she looked up at me with shock and surprise. Her eyes swelled with tears and her face got red from anger.

"You're dead for this goth girl!" Paulina shouted through her tears I jumped toward her, and stopped myself, pretending I was about to hit her again. She screamed and ran off with fear. I felt a smile grow on my face. That was the best thing I've done all summer.

Unfortunately, that's the only time it felt good. A few minutes after I got home the phone rang and I was the stupid one to answer it. Apparently Paulina ran off and told Danny and Tucker what I had done, but twisted the story to make it seem like she was little Ms. Innocent. Danny was mad at me, Tucker was a little bit too. I just got done telling Danny that I didn't care about Paulina and him seeing each other, and then I go and punch her. I wasn't on the phone for long, that's just because Danny hung up on me. He wouldn't even listen to my side of the story, just because Paulina was the one with the swollen bottom lip. I was happy I punched her. That shallow witch deserves being beaten up by everyone she made fun of, and I felt good the moment she hit the ground. But now Danny's mad at me. He won't even talk to me, even when I try to apologize. He won't listen to me and I'm slowly starting to wonder if he will if I apologize to Paulina. But not until she does first! I'd rather die before I say sorry to her! A thousand and one times over! I really am sorry Danny, I wouldn't have done it if I knew you were going to get mad.

Please Forgive Me!

Sam

Okay, there it is! That was just Sam POV, Paulina's diary's up next. It's going to go like that, Each day and each chapter is a different Diary and POV. I want to do all (or most) of the females on the show. And I do plan on doing Dani as well. Anyway, I hope you liked it and until next time!
