A/N: So I know that in my profile I put a poll to see what story I should write next. Well I chose to go with a Danny Phantom one. This plot wouldn't leave me alone and I actually thought of more to add. As long as I get reviews and you guys like it, I will update faster. And as I promised my parents, the first thing I wrote with my new laptop would be dedicated to them. So this Chapter is dedicated to my parents. XD So on with the first chapter! (Oh, and Phantom Planet never happened. Lol.)
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. It belongs to Butch Hartman and Nickelodeon. And any other business that owns it. I also do not own anything else mentioned in this story other than the plots, title name, and random character's that our brought in just for support of the story.
Chapter One
It was a normal drag of a Monday. God I hate Mondays. But being only 15, that's why I am walking to my school with my best friends Tucker and Sam. They were bickering over who knows what, again. I stopped listening about 5 minutes ago when it started. Same old, same old. I was just glad at this Monday because ghosts haven't been bothering Amity Park lately. I should be suspicious but I don't care cause I need the leisure time.
I opened the door and sighed. Here we go again. I held it open long enough for Sam and Tucker to get it themselves. I didn't want to run into Dash this morning. I was not in the mood. I may have relaxing time away from ghosts but that doesn't mean I don't need to improve my grades. I was up till about 3am anyways last night studying and doing work. It sucks that I can never catch a real break.
Apparently I had some sort of distress on my face and had been ignoring Sam and Tucker. They both said my name loud enough to make me jump. I looked at their confused faces.
"Are you alright Danny?" Sam put her hand on my shoulder. I loved when she would touch me. I know I was blushing a little but they may shake it off as something that's wrong. She looked worried as to why I was so distracted. It also could have been the fact that I looked like shit from not sleeping well last night.
"Yeah Sam. I'm fine. I was up late doing homework." I tried to give a small smile to her. I don't know how it turned out. But she nodded once and slowly slid her hand off my shoulder. Even after her hand was gone and we continued walking, I could feel the warmth on everywhere it touched. I knew my face slowly grew in heat too. I gave up on denying my feelings towards her to myself and Tucker.
We turned into our homeroom and sat in our normal seats. Just like every other weekday. In the back of the room I could hear Dash, Paulina, Star, Kwan, and a few others talking about a party Paulina was having that weekend. Not everyone wanted to hear their conversations. Of course nobody would say it out loud though, and risk a beating by Dash.
The bell rang and everyone sat down. Yup, another boring day.
By the time English came the day went normal. Dash had bothered me at my locker after homeroom. He liked to push my buttons about Sam. It pissed me off so it got pretty heated.
~Flashback~
The bell rang letting us know we could leave homeroom. I went to my locker to get my stuff for my first four classes. It was easier that way. Sam and Tucker followed me to my locker and we were just having a normal conversation about what to do after school.
"So who's house today?" Tucker asked as we exited the room. I shrugged.
"I guess my house seeing as Sam's parents don't want me in their home." He rolled his eyes.
"Oh it'll blow over Danny. They're ridiculous, I know. But you don't have to bring it up all the time." She scoffed at me. I didn't need the slight attitude.
"I'm sorry Sam but I don't like that it has to be hard to see you cause your parents have a warped thought of me." I tried to sound sincere, really. We got to my locker as I finished the sentence. I reached out to put my locker combination in. I didn't want her to see my face. I hate that I get flushed around her so easily. It makes it difficult to hide it from her.
I heard her sigh and take a step. I could tell it was closer cause I could see her body in my peripheral vision. I love how her shirt shows the curves of her torso. She has really nice legs too. I always try to catch glances but it's kind of hard when she looks me in the face most of the time she talks to me.
"Uh Danny? Hello?" Apparently my thoughts got me distracted again. Damn lack of sleep. I look over at her and her face seems agitated.
"Sorry Sam, what did you say?" I look past her to Tucker's face. He's smirking! He finds this amusing. Thanks Tucker, I'll remember this.
"I said that they'll get over it. We both know they will never like you but they will let you back over. They did find you in my room at midnight on a Friday night. What would you think if you were them?" She crossed her arms. After a second a look of slight shock appeared on her face as to what she said. Her cheeks became pink. She's so cute when she blushes. Tucker starts laughing and that's when I realize that my face is probably redder than hers.
I opened my mouth to reply but instead it dropped at the next thing I heard.
"Sounds like Fentina and Manson finally did the deed!" Dash practically yelled it then started laughing. He's such an asshole. My whole body tensed. He really knew how to piss me off and get a reaction. I hated giving him that satisfaction.
I turned around to face the direction the sound came. Maybe a little too fast, I could feel Sam and Tucker put their hands on my shoulder. Or maybe I was so angry my eyes turned green? Well why wouldn't I be mad? Even if we did, which will never happen, it'd be nobody's business but our own anyways.
"Dash me and Sam are in no type of relationship! Just shut up!" I closed my eyes as I yelled a bit louder. I could hear the hallway get quiet. Not what I wanted. This is great. I'm irritated, tired, and embarrassed.
"Whatever you say Fenterd! We all know you and the Goth got a thing going!" He kept laughing and walked closer. "We know you love her! She's just too stupid to see and you're too dumb to get her!" His laughing got harder. I hate him so much. I have to get him back later. When I get more sleep.
"I don't love Sam! And she's not stupid! She hasn't done anything to you so why don't you leave her alone?" I emphasized her to let him know I was serious, even though he wouldn't care. And he didn't that's why he was about doubled over in a laughing fit. I REALLY fucking hate him.
"It's the truth! You both are thinking about it now! That's why you're both red!" I turned around and stole a quick glance at Sam. She was red. I may have been pissed but I really wouldn't mind "doing the deed" with Sam. I mean I'm in love with the girl. But she's only my friend so it wouldn't happen. I turned back to face Dash. I took a few steps forward.
"You aren't us! You don't know the truth!" I know we were getting loud, a crowd was forming.
"You have the nerve to step closer like you're some hard ass." Dash smirked and in seconds he was in front of me. Fuck my life. He snatched me up by the shirt.
"All right! Break it up!" Mr. Lancer yelled and pushed into the circle. Thank the heavens for that one. Dash dropped me and pushed me back.
"Sorry Mr. Lancer." Dash stated with a smile. Mr. Lancer of course smiled back. Stupid jocks always get better treatment.
"That's okay Dash. I just don't want to see it again. Now off to class everyone!" Mr. Lancer shooed everyone. He looked at me and Dash. "I'll see you two in class." And with that he walked away. With one last nasty glare at me, Dash walked off too. I turned back to my locker and groaned.
"Just ignore him Danny." Tucker was leaning against the locker next to mine.
"Easier said than done." I rolled my eyes. I wonder when Dash would stop.
"Well we're always here for you." He tapped my back and smiled at me reassuringly. I'm happy I was given to good friends to help get me through the bullshit.
"Thanks Tucker." The one minute warning bell rang. "Well I'll see you guys in English." I said as I reached in my locker to get my stuff.
"See you later Danny." They both said to me and walked in the directions to their class. I straightened up with binders and books in hand and closed my locker. Great way to start a day.
~End of Flashback~
Flashing back to reality when Sam passed back a paper, I grabbed the few pieces and passed them back to Mikey, who sat behind me. I glanced at the paper. It was small but only had a few sentences and 3 names on it. After, I'm guessing, all the papers were gone Mr. Lancer began to talk.
"Look at the paper in front of you. I'll read the directions." He cleared his throat. I looked down at the paper and read with him. ""This survey will be used to decide what your final project is on. The project is designed to pay attention to dialogue and actions. Tomorrow you will receive more information on the project. Choose one of the three names listed below. Fold your paper in half and bring it to the front." Now look at the three names. Johnny Depp, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Adam Sandler. You guys pick one and bring it up when you are done." He walked over and sat at his desk.
I glanced down at the paper. If we were working with dialogue and actions from their films then I'd have to pick Johnny Depp. I liked that he worked with darker things. I knew Tucker would pick Adam Sandler because he loved comedy. I was torn between what Sam would pick. She loved Johnny Depp's movies but loved Donnie Darko. So I put a check next to Johnny's name, folded the paper in half, and walked up to the desk.
A lot of people were following at that point. Dropping their papers on the pile and continuing back to their desk. After the survey class became very boring. We discussed how to tell how to read the dialogue correctly and "bring the actions to life." He was acting like it would be hard for us to figure out, even though they were probably from movies that we have seen quite a few times.
So when the ball rang for the day to continue, I happily jumped from my seat and left with Sam and Tucker, ready for lunch.
We sat down at a table after Tucker and I got our lunches in line. Sam packed hers like usual. We were eating and talking. All of us have recently gotten into a new video game that has taken up most of our time. But I noticed Sam's face drop in the middle of the conversation.
"Paulina's walking over here." Now I understand why.
"Hey Danny!" Paulina yelled and waved at me. I may not have a crush on her anymore but she is gorgeous. I smiled and waved back.
"Hey Paulina." I say as she gets closer. She smiles brighter as she sits next to me. "What's up?" I shift a little on the bench to face her better. I notice her repeat the action.
"I was wondering if you wanted to come to my party on Saturday." She smiled as she pulled out a small envelope in her purse. "It's for my sixteenth birthday!" She said over excitedly. It's just another year really. I reach out for the envelope which she slides into my hand. I open it. I can feel that all three of them are staring at me intently. Awkward. I open it and pull out the piece of paper.
'Saturday at 9pm till ??? at my house. No parents and no rules! It's all about the party.' That's all he glanced at as he looked back up.
"I'd love to Paulina but I don't know." I shrug. I was just answering honestly. I look at Sam and Tucker who have their arms crossed and are glaring at me. I think Paulina caught the hint.
"They're invited too silly. Almost the whole school is." She pulled out two more envelopes and handed it to them.
"Thank Paulina. I'll see if I can come." Tucker smiled. I knew he'd want to go. It was all up to convincing Sam.
"Gee thanks but I don't think I can make it." Sam dropped the envelope onto the table with a fake smile on her face. I giggled. You gotta love her.
"Well I hope you guys can make it." She stood up and looked down at us. "I have to go hand out more invitations so I will talk to you guys later." She waved and walked off. I turned back to them.
"I think we should go guys. It's almost the end of the year and it's the first one we were invited to." I noted that Tucker nodded and Sam's face became more frustrated.
"I agree. Why pass up probably the hottest party of the year?" He was on my side a lot of the time. Poor Sam, being the only girl.
"Do you not hear yourselves? She's not going to care if we go or not. She probably only wants the chance to see 'the phantom boy,'" She said it in a mock tone like Paulina, but it was adorable when Sam acted like her, "and then it would be a waste of our time. I don't want to go but I'm not stopping you two."
"I get what you're saying Sam but she is inviting almost the whole school so I don't think it's anything like that." I did want to go to the party. Tucker was right; it was probably going to be the party of the year. I didn't want to miss it for anything. Who knew what would happen there.
"Then go, but I'm not." She stood up and walked away, carrying her lunch bag. I knew she was only going to throw it away, she'd be back. I looked at Tucker.
"We have to convince her to go." He practically took the words out of my mouth.
"Yeah, but how?" I felt my face drop to a small frown.
"Leave that to me." Tucker's smile turned into a huge grin. He's up to something, I just don't know what.
"What can you say that's different than what I would say?" I was curious. I thought I'd be able to convince her easier.
"Just please trust me Danny. She's coming back. By tomorrow morning she'll tell you she wants to go before you even bring it up." He was right, within a few seconds after his statement Sam came back over.
"Lunch is almost over guys so come on." She picked up her books and waited. I sighed and took one last bite of my pizza. I picked up my book bag and tray, assuming Tucker did the same thing, as we walked towards the garbage to get rid of our trash. As soon as it hit the inside the bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Now for the rest of school, yippee!
The day dragged on normally. We all hung out at my house till dinner time. We played video games the whole time, taking a break from school and reality. After I finished dinner I decided to fly through the Ghost Zone to check on things.
Everything was still quiet. I even had a decent conversation with Skulker, no threats and no violence. It seemed weird, it seemed out of place, but I'm officially letting it blow by. Skulker said there wasn't anything up that he knew about, so for now I was going to take his word.
I got home around ten. I hadn't taken my phone with me to the Ghost Zone so I checked it. I had 3 texts from Tucker. One from 8:30pm saying that he was going to call Sam and talk to her, another from 8:47pm saying that she had hung up on him, and the last at 9:15 saying that she had called him back and they were talking. I texted him back simply saying: are you still on the phone with her? It took a few minutes to reply so I took it as a yes automatically. I was right.
I needed to take a shower anyways so that I could at least pass time till they got off the phone. I went into the bathroom and started the hot water. I undressed myself and got in. The hot water felt great on my exhausted body. Maybe after the shower I'll just go to sleep.
I groggily cleaned myself, in no rush at all. I was probably in there a half an hour. I turned the water off when I finished, reaching out and grabbing the towel to wrap it around my hips. I slumped to my room after turning off the light. When I got in my room I saw that the clock read 11:08pm. I was in there longer than I thought.
I looked at my phone as saw that I had a missed call from Tucker. I was too tired to talk. I plugged my phone charger into my phone and set it next to my pillow. I walked over to my dresser and pulled out a pair of plain black boxers. I pulled my towel off my hips and dried myself, including my hair. I threw the towel in the corner thinking I'd get it in the morning.
I slowly pulled the boxers onto my body. I made my way to my light switch and clicked it off. Ahh, the dark. It's nice to see when I am as tired as I am. I stumbled my way over to my bed not being able to see. When I reached it I pulled the blankets back, lay in bed, and covered myself up. As soon as I turned on my stomach to get comfortable I feel asleep, dreaming a great dream about defeating Vlad.
A/N: I know it was boring but it's going to start off slow at first. Please follow along people. I also need all of you to pick one of the three actors in your review. It's your decision what actor's movies they do. I just know the movies I have picked. So please tell me what you think and say either Johnny Depp, Jake Gyllenhaal, or Adam Sandler. Hope you guys enjoyed! The faster the reviews come in, the faster I will produce chapters. I'm thinking this to be more than ten chapters. I'm just not sure how long. Well, click that button and review so I can get writing!
