New fic! Woot! Not a one-shot, I'm going to do Calvin and Hobbes: Growing Up and this new fic, so two large stories! Yeahhhh!
DISCLAIMER- I do not own Danny Phantom. If I did, it would still be going and season three and Phantom Planet wouldn't have sucked. SORRY I'M NOT SORRY!
Erm… on with the fic.
The sun shone through my window, causing me to groan. My eyes fluttered open as the sunlight shone even brighter. I sat up in my bed. Just another day at school, I thought.
Suddenly my door started banging. "Danny! Get your arse out here unless you want to be late for school!" I heard Jazz.
"I'm getting dressed!" I replied. I got out of bed and grabbed some clothes. I put them on and with lightning speed ran out the door. I ran down the stairs, grabbed a bagel and my backpack, and flew (A/N HAHA, puns.) out the door.
I munched on my bagel. I don't feel like flying, which was weird, since I love to fly.
I finished up my bagel, smiling lightly. But then I heard a voice I didn't want to hear for another half hour; "Hey Fenton!"
I groaned as I saw Dash and his buds running up to me, grinning like madmen. "What, Dash?"
"We want to hang out with you! All of the other losers in school aren't like you!" the blond leader of his gang exclaimed.
"And by like me, you mean completely human and normal like you?" I asked, smirking and raising an eyebrow.
Dash frowned. "Why don't you want to hang around with us? I mean, we're handsome," I held back a snort, "strong, and popular, unlike those loser friends you have." His cronies laughed a stupid laugh. It kinda sounds like a snort mixed with a sadistic snicker.
I glared at them, my eyes turning a dangerous green saying 'back off'. "See, that's the problem with you A-Listers. Why on Earth would I hang out with you guys after you called my best friends losers?" I gritted my teeth.
"Uh…" was their intelligent answer.
My eyebrows furrowed. "That's what I thought." I turned invisible and walked off, leaving confused jocks behind. I sighed and went ghost invisible, even though everyone knew my secret.
That stupid asteroid made me reveal my freaking secret. Well, I didn't really have to, except the fact my parents were going to blurt it out anyway.
This is my first day back in school since the Disasteroid. That was a month ago. They finally finished reconstruction, much to my dismay...That sounded bad.
People are going to be swarming me, along with the Guys in White. They had not stopped bugging me, constantly trying to arrest me and make me their lab rat. It was never going to happen, seriously.
As I flew through the skies invisibly, I thought of Paulina constantly trying to flirt with me. I shivered. Not just the damsel-in-distress Paulina, but the entire school of girls.
Sam and I were close now. We were dating, but none of the others knew that. Except for Tuck and my family of course. As I arrived at the school, I groaned to see a bunch of teens at the entrance with 'We Love Danny Phantom' signs and other crap.
I smirked and turned intangible, flying into the school and into the bathroom. Ghost powers come in handy. I turned human and let the two effects drop.
I walked out of a stall and into the halls. No one was there yet, even though class started in two minutes. I ran over to my locker and grabbed my books, gym clothes, and pencils. I slammed my locker shut and walked into Mr. Lancer's. Not surprisingly, he was there.
"Mr. Fenton, how did you get past those kids?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion.
I shrugged, not really wanting to talk. I put all of my stuff down and walked to the back of the room where my desk was. "I guess all of this," I sat down at my desk, "explains all of my periodical absences, huh?"
He chuckled, to my amusement. "Others may treat you different now, Daniel, but I will still treat you like a human being. You still are one, and was born one, you know."
I smiled, grateful. The bell suddenly rung, causing a huge stampede of footsteps to ring in my ears. I winced at the noise.
My teacher's smile left his face. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I just have enhanced hearing." I blinked. "Wow, you don't hear that everyday."
He rolled his eyes and went back to his work at his desk. I heard students whispering things about me like, 'Where's Danny?', 'Think Dan-Dan will date me?' my eyes flashed a dangerous green with the mention of Him, 'Maybe he's skipping school?' Hah, I wish, and I'm pretty sure the Him-Him one was Paulina.
Kids flooded into the room, Sam and Tucker being first. They looked at me with a pretty pissed off expression, and I grinned sheepishly. I'll explain later, I thought to them. They nodded at me. That's something that came in handy, I'm telepathic. I can't really read anybodies minds right now, but I sure can send messages with it.
I also finally mastered duplication and teleportation. I gained two new powers, telekinesis and reading-each-others-minds. As everyone barged in, they all stared at me with mouths open.
"Close your mouths, you're going to catch flies," I grumbled under my breath. I heard Sam snicker and took her seat next to me. Tucker grinned and sat in front of me.
Lancer cleared his throat. "Class, Danny may be pretty popular now, but he is still a student. I want none of you to treat him differently, am I making myself clear?" he sternly exclaimed.
The students acting like zombies all nodded their heads in unison. All of their eyes still showed excitement and anticipation to see me. I rolled my eyes. The mindless drones took their seats.
Mr. Lancer told everyone to take out their textbooks. I complied, and started thinking of my whole new life.
Everyone knew my secret. That was clear enough, but they acted as if they all wanted to be friends with me. I know what people do. They just want to be friends with a famous hero, not the real me. I see that in Paulina now, she's just a stuck up snob who rubs her privileges in everyone's faces. That pisses me off to no end.
A blue mist escaped my mouth. I knew Mr. Lancer would be angry with me if I raised my hand. I mentally groaned. What am I supposed to do?
An idea formed in my head. Mr. Lancer. I thought to him. He stopped talking and jumped with fright at the same time. I narrowed my eyes. It's me, Danny. Yes, I'm in your head. Now please listen. I gotta fight a ghost, but I'm not comfortable with telling everyone head-on. Yell.. uh… 'Great Gatsby!' to the class if I can go.
Lancer turned around to the class, whom of which started talking about him. "Great Gatsby kids! Calm yourselves! I just had a thought appear in my head. Now back to our lecture."
The class groaned while I grinned. Thanks, Mr. Lancer. Be right back. I told him and teleported outside, transforming into a ghost as I did. I looked around to find what ghost triggered my sense.
"Alright, where are-" I was cut off by a blast hitting me from the back of my head. "Ouch! Who-"
"What is your wish?" asked a feminine voice.
"Ugh, can't we do this later, Desiree?" I asked, I got up and starting floating again, forming an ecto-ball in my hands. I was annoyed by how she always manages to get back from the ghost zone faster than any other ghosts.
Well, besides Box Ghost.
"You're heart wishes something, child," she appeared in front of me, floating with a green mist surrounding her. "Tell me, what is it?"
I smirked. "I wish we could do this later, preferably after school!"
"As you wish it, so it shall- why am I granting this?" Desiree muttered to herself as she disappeared before my very eyes.
I sighed with relief and turned human. I teleported back to my desk, where everyone was still listening with a bored expression to Mr. Lancer.
I smiled evilly. I'm baaaack! I thought in a sing-song voice that made Mr. Lancer jump in shock. Again.
He turned around and glared at me. I grinned, and everyone turned to me. "Why's everyone looking at me? I'm just sitting here, listening to Mr. Lancer about Romeo and Juliet."
All the kids, except for Sam and Tucker, turned back to our teacher. I'll explain that later, too. I sent to by best friend and girlfriend.
THE HOLY LINEBREAK.
I groaned as the bell rung and everyone turned to me. I smiled, waved and grabbed my friends, and turned invisible. Everyone looked around for us.
"They probably went to the gym! Everyone here has gym next, right? Plus some other kids!" exclaimed a random nerd. I smirked as everyone ran out the door and near the gym.
I let the invisibility drop. "I'll meet you guys in gym."
The looked at me confused before the shrugged and left the room. I looked at Lancer. "I just have one thing to say to you. Well two things."
"Go ahead, Daniel."
I smiled. "I appreciate you still treat me normal. I really respect you. I honestly do."
My teacher blushed, obviously flattered by my comment. "Thank you very much. What was the other thing?"
I walked near the door. "That dress doesn't suit you," I grinned.
HEY! ANOTHER LINEBREAK!
I walked out of the boy's locker room with a smile on my face. My English teacher stuttered something about 'My sister,' when I walked out the door. I had laughed at him and told him to have a good day. As I entered the gym, several eyes turned to me. I waved like a nerd.
Ms. Tesslaf marched over to me. "We're racing. Get in line!" her voice boomed.
I covered my ears. "Alright, I'm going."
"Oh, and Fenton?" I turned around and looked at her. She was smiling. "No holding back. Give me everything you got."
I blinked. "Uh… right. Will do." I walked over to Sam and Tucker near the exit to the football field. "We racing outside?" I asked.
Sam nodded. "What did Tesslaf say to you over there?"
I scratched my head. "She said 'No holding back.'"
Tucker grinned. "Wow, man! Even Tesslaf is going soft on you! I'm so jealous..."
Sam smacked his head. "How fast can you run again?"
"Slow!" was Tucker's reply.
Sam face-palmed. "I was talking to Danny."
"Don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's less than my flying. By a lot. "What does the average human run again?" I looked at my beautiful girlfriend.
"Five miles an hour," Tucker said, holding up his PDA in my face.
"Um… I go a lot faster than that."
THERE SURE ARE A LOT OF THESE TODAY!
"Okay! Ready! Set! GO!" The gym teacher yelled. We had to run across the entire football field and back. Three times.
Needless to say, I finished in under half a minute without breaking a sweat. I ran up to Ms. Tesslaf and mock saluted her before running back to my friends. Well, girlfriend. She finished second, then Dash. Tucker was last.
Dash looked at me with worry in his voice. "H-how did you beat me?"
I shrugged, wanting to boast so badly. But I chose against it. "Increased speed and stamina, comes with the ghost package."
Before I gave him a chance to respond, I ran over to Tucker whom was gulping down a water bottle.
Sam rolled her eyes. "You're going to get a cramp."
"I know."
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS.
The rest of the day was so annoying. No one would stop talking to me, ask me out, or try to hang out with me!
"I'm going to take a walk..." I told my girlfriend and best friend. They nodded in understanding.
After school was hectic too. Not only had people heard me say that, but they asked me if they could join.
I tried so hard to stay calm. So, so hard. But alas, I failed. "Oh my gosh! Will you guys just SHUT UP!" I roared over everyone, causing them to back down in fear. Not including Sam or Tucker.
I glared at my fellow pupils with a look that could kill. "Not only have you people annoyed me, asked me out, freaking tried to steal my backpack, or won't shut up, but it's the fact you're all hypocrites! If any of you didn't know I was Phantom, you would still bully me and act as if I was a nobody!"
Everyone, minus you-know-who, hung their heads in shame. They knew I was right. I knew I was right. "Now, if you don't mind, I'm going for a walk. Alone."
I turned teleported out of the school and onto a hill where I could vent. That was my special spot where I could just be alone. I sat down and looked sadly at the view below. A statue of me holding the Earth with one arm. That wasn't really what happened. Many people helped me with that, even though I was acting like a complete moron and baby.
I sighed. "Sometimes..." I bit my lip. "I wish that it was only me who knew my secret."
My ghost sense suddenly went off. I groaned, wondering who it was.
"And so you have wished it..." my eyes widened. This wasn't good! "So it SHALL BE!"
"NO!"
