This is my first song fic... though I'm not sure if this really is a song fic... this is mostly dedicated to the song. It will be a few chapters, and it won't distract me from my other works. Here it is for the song Unwell by Matchbox Twenty! Enjoy! I suggest you listen to the song too XD (All songs I put into this fic are based off of Danny Phantom and relate to him in some way that it is inspiring)

Note: The school isn't real and any future places with made up names

All day starin' at the ceilin' makin' friends with shadows on my wall. All night hearing voices tellin' me that I should get some sleep. Because tomorrow might be good for somethin'. Hold on, feelin' like I'm headed for a breakdown. And I don't know why

Meet the Student

(Fourteen Years Ago)

'Why mama? Why did you have to leave?' The little girl asked herself as she stared at the black piece of metal that used to be her mother's car.

Men rushed over to her and checked if she was alright. Maria was fine, but that day, her heart died.

"Little girl, please give me your name," a man asked as he led her to a pitch black building where her mother was driving to before the accident.

"Maria... excuse me Mr. Bald Man... where are you taking me?"

The man laughed and gave her a crooked smile. "Your an orphan now. We have to find you a good home. I have a daughter you can hang out with while you wait. Her name is Addison Joan."

"Will I ever see mama again?" Maria asked again, sniffling a little into her red man looked at the girl who had lost everything and gave her a giant bear hug.

"No Maria, you wont, but I'll make sure that you find a life full of laughter and joy."

From then on, Maria's life took a turn for the better, but not her heart.

(End)

Maria Dills wasn't your average college student. Dreaming of being a journalist, the brunette traveled the world for a great education when she was just a freshman in high school. Her wish list for the location of the school involved a small city with many great people, and mysteries to be documented. Naholin University of Virginia had a wonderful journalism program, so she headed there after being accepted.

Famous for her tan flawless skin and mismatched unique eye coloring, the girl spent most of her time hanging out with her high school friends that followed her like puppies on a leash, though she didn't care for any of them. Even though the prodigy was passionate, she had grown up with a worse personality thanks to her 'friends'. On the outside, Maria was still seeing the world in categories, and the people that were below here was nothing to her.

Inside, she doubted herself, and she would have continued to do so for the rest of her life if it wasn't for a skinny raven haired boy.

Maria walked down the corridor of her college and noticed the new freshman run by in a cold sweat. It was too dark, so he was only a shadow in the daylight. In his hands, she caught him holding some textbooks and a round cylinder container before he passed out of sight.

'Must be late for class...' the girl dismissed as she quickened her steps.

Her black high heels echoed around her as she stepped up to the classroom and lazily opened the door. The lecture had already begun, the teacher starting to talk about his views on the works of Charles Dickens, so Maria sat herself next to her childhood friend Addison. The dark blue skirt she had thrown on bunched up under her thighs as she scooted closer.

"Addison," Maria whispered. "Anything new happening today?"

The blonde turned to her with a sparkling glint in her blue eyes. "We have a new student!" She squeaked, not loud enough for the professor to hear. Maria's brown and purple eye lit up with interest.

"I think I met him a moment ago. He ran by be, so I think he's just a little late."

Addison twirled a curl in her hair and crossed her legs. "I heard from 'The Vine' that he's taking this class though."

"Will you quit using the school newspaper crew as your servants to gather information?" Marie scolded, lips pursed together and eyebrows lowered.

"Don't you think it's strange though that I couldn't find any other pieces of info besides his class schedules?" she pressed, trying to distract her friend.

It worked, for as soon as Maria heard that there was a mystery behind this person, she straightened herself and gave a sneaky grin. "I'm in. Let's talk at lunch. How about at Sally's Cafe?"

What most people knew about Maria was that if there was a suspicious mystery at the campus, she would round up her friends and expose the person in the paper in a matter of weeks. The public humiliation and the misery of the other student fueled her into writing convincing articles and stories.

Deep down, a small voice in her would always ask her if this was the right way to go after her love of words and writing.

Inside the cafe, Maria stirred her decaf mocha, leaning back against the red booth visions so that she didn't soil her white buttoned shirt. Taking a glance at her diamond speckled watch, she scowled and went back to staring outside the window. Cars ran by, but Maria still saw the town to be uneventful and boring.

'Where did all the fun go?' she mentally groaned.

A flash of black crossed her eyes for a second, but when she blinked, it disappeared. Startled, Maria leaned forward towards the glass to try and catch the shadow again. A ring from the cafe shop's bell divided her attention, so she turned around and leafed over her booth to see who had walked in.

What she saw was a young eighteen year old with the weirdest hairdo she had ever laid eyes on. 'What's with his fashion sense?' she asked herself. A plaid opened jacket, white tee-shirt, and dirt scattered jeans made him look like he was living in the country instead of a city.

Addison decided at that moment to burst into the cafe and run right into him. The plan was simple. The blonde would follow the new student to the cafe, and then run into him to 'borrow his wallet'. The young man fell right by Maria's booth and caught himself with his hands. He stood up and started to dust himself off, but as soon as he looked at Maria his hands froze.

Maria was busy staring into the man's eyes, which sparkled a brilliant blue that left her captivated. 'Calming, inspirational, serenity, peace, a windy day on a mountain...' her brain rambled on.

"Hello, do you go to my school?" the mystery student asked.

Maria snapped out of her writer spell and faced the guy with an unreadable expression. "What are you staring at?" She questioned with a small huff of irritation.

The guy just gave a small smile and held out his hand. "If you think I was looking at your eyes, then I'm sorry."

Maria blinked and held out her hand. Taking his, she shook it up and down slowly. "My name's Maria Dills."

"Hi, I'm Daniel Fenton."

After they exchanged names, Daniel gave a small smile and headed out of the building without another word.

When he was out of sight, Addison jumped to the opposite side of Maria's booth, a small green sweater wrapped around her. "Did you get any information out of him?" she questioned.

The brunette tapped her foot and stared at the window again. "His name is Daniel Fenton. Natural black hair and blue eyes."

"He sounds ordinary," Addison scoffed as she took out her phone to start texting the information to the was eerily silent before Maria broke the silence.

"Did you get his wallet?"

The blonde sighed and shook her head. "He didn't have anything but cash on him."

So in that cafe, the two girls planned to get more info on the new student, starting with night stalking.

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell. I know, right now you can't tell. But stay a while and maybe then you'll see. A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know, right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me. And how I used to be, me

So that's it! Hope you enjoyed this! Until then, review if you want, and...

Chow! : )
