Two Part Story: Other Story is titled Connor Feels Confused, does relate to Danny Phantom as in the ghosts and stuff so don't give me crap about it.

Bella Feels Broken

"Maybe I feel better on my own, cause no one ever seems to understand me."

I walked through the hallways of Casper High, boys stopped to stare at me, and girls glared at me.

I held my books closer to my chest.

I wish that Sam was with me…

But she wasn't.

Sam was my older sister, now twenty-eight and out of college, which left me in my first year of high school.

I had been very influenced by Sam, especially by her looks and her attitude.

So when people stared and glared at me walking through the hallway, I was pretty proud of my unique style

Of course people with blonde hair and green eyes don't necessarily look good in black.

I sighed and stared down at my black combat boots

I was wearing a thin white shirt that went down to the ends of my arms. A black vest went over top of my white shirt, with a red tie tied around the collar. I had on a black skort, which is a skirt and short combined, with red stockings and my black combat boots, much like Sam's normal outfit, but different.

BAM!!!

A loud thud erupted throughout the hallway as I crashed into a kid with dirty blond hair. A kid with dark black hair was standing beside him as he crashed into the floor. I had crashed backward into the floor too.

"JEEZ KID, WHY DON'T YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!?!" I cussed silently to myself as I hurriedly picked up all of my books.

"Excuse me!?!" The kid with blond hair shot back at me when we were both standing up. "You ran into me!'

"I DID NOT, NOW MOVE!" I pushed past him and he grabbed my arm causing me to drop my books again. "WHAT THE HELL!?!"

I angrily turned around to face him.

He looked down at the ground sheepishly, his face turning red, "Sorry, I didn't mean to knock your books down."

He quickly walked in the direction he had been going with his friend.

I stared after him.

Why had he apologized to me?

The bell rang and I came back to reality.

I picked up my books and looked at the clock.

"OH SHIT!" I cussed out loud, "I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR LANCER'S CLASS!"

"No homework, YES!" I shouted into my empty room when I got home. It had been a sarcastic remark, as I would have barely anything to do, since I didn't really have any friends in real life.

Barely, being as I always had my online friends, since all I did was spend time on the computer.

I stared at my closet, full of black and red cloths. I loved to wear black, I always wore black. People considered me being Gothic, but I wasn't, unlike my older sister. I just loved to wear the color black.

My home phone rang and I answered it.

"Hello? Hey, Sam! Yeah, I'm just bored. Really? OH MY GOD, THAT'S SO COOL! Yeah, totally. Okay, I hope everything works out…good luck telling mom…love ya too…bye!"

I sighed as I hung up the phone.

Great, now my sister's gone and gotten herself engaged to some boy. Ha! It's about time; she and that guy Danny have been dating for some time. I can remember when I first heard her ranting on and on about him liking some girl named Valerie. I never heard the end of that. But after she got into college, she went to the same college as Danny and Tucker, Danny finally realized he loved her and asked her out. They've been going out for almost ten years. TEN YEARS before he finally decided to ask her to marry him. Unfortunately I would be the maid of honor, since I was Sam's little sis.

Sam had said something about Tucker wanting to be the best man, but Danny wanted his nephew Connor to be, since Connor was the same age as me, and the maid of honor was going to dance with the best man at the wedding.

WAIT A MINUTE! REWIND!

WHAT DID SHE SAY!?!

I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO DANCE WITH SOMEONE NAMED CONNOR AT THE WEDDING!?!

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW CONNOR!

Oh, great. Way to make my life more complicated.

I don't even believe in love, let alone the two genders of female and male combining in the strange ritual of dancing, dating, or anything else along those lines.

Sam has no idea what she's gotten herself into or me into for that matter.

I checked to see if anyone was home, and it looked as if no one was anywhere.

My parents must be at some big important meeting out of town, which meant that I could go anywhere tonight.

I decided to go to The Nasty Burger.

Yeah, big fun!

I was at the line ready to order when I saw him come in, the kid with the dirty blond hair from before.

I quickly gave the person at the counter my order, my money, and waited impatiently for my food to come. I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

He was starting to walk over to me. Fortunately, my food came and I ran over to the farthest table from him. He looked disappointed, but I really didn't care.

I didn't want to talk to anyone, especially a boy, right now.

I silently ate my food. I looked over to where he and his friend were sitting. They were laughing like they had just shared a funny story or joke or something.

I sighed.

I didn't have anyone to laugh with.

No close friends.

He must've caught me staring at him as we made eye contact.

He smiled at me.

I smiled back, and went to lean my elbow against the table, but I ended up falling off of the seat.

He and his friend were laughing, but it wasn't mean laughter.

My face was red, but I looked up at them and smiled.

He motioned to his friend and they walked over to me, and set their trays down on my table.

"Are you going to get up?" His friend with the black hair asked.

My face got even redder, "Uh…yeah…heh-heh, sorry."

I quickly got off of the floor, and slipped into the seat I had been sitting in. They both sat across from me.

"S-sorry about this morning," I stuttered.

How come I felt so damn nervous around this kid?

"Oh, that…it's nothing." He glared at his friend with the dark hair, and his friend just shrugged.

He sighed, "This is my friend Josh," He pointed over to his friend.

"Hi," Josh waved at me.

"And my name's Connor," He held out his hand for me to shake it.

I stared at this hand, and then back up at him.

"C-Conner?" I asked.

"Yeah, what's your name? Do you even remember who you are?"

I laughed sheepishly.

"Uh, yeah…my name is…"

I began to panic. If this was the same Connor…it couldn't be, but he would recognize my name…and I really didn't want to talk to someone that I was supposed to dance with right now.

I realized that he was still holding his hand out and that I was being extremely rude.

"I'm…uh…Amanda…yeah." I shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you Amanda," he said as we stopped shaking hands.

"You too," I swallowed hard.

Why had I just lied to him? Why was I so damn nervous around him? Did I like him?

I banged my head on the table, and slowly looked up.

"Uh…sorry," I hadn't realized that they were still sitting across from me.

"What are you planning on doing this weekend?" Josh asked me as he exchanged a glance with Connor. Connor just glared at him.

It took me awhile to realize that it was Friday.

"Oh…uh, well…to be honest…nothing," I replied.

"You could hang out with us…"Josh offered. Connor looked at the ground.

"I can't do anything all weekend. I have to help my uncle with his stupid wedding, and then I might have to meet Bella. That'll be loads of fun!" He sure sounded happy about it.

Inside I was fuming…what was so bad about Bella anyway?

"Who's Bella?" I asked innocently.

Connor looked up at me, "This girl I'm supposed to dance with at the wedding reception or something. My uncle Danny is getting married to someone named Sam, and I have to dance with Sam's little sister."

I swallowed harder.

So it had been a good move to not give out my real name.

"Why is meeting Bella a bad thing," I asked.

"Because Sam said that Bella had a bit of an attitude problem…"

Did she now?

"Oh…well I'm sure that Sam just doesn't really understand Bella."

"Hey, Amanda can I have your phone number?" Connor asked, he was smiling and I smiled back at him.

"Sure."

We exchanged phone numbers and then email addresses and IM thingy's, which was the same thing as our email addresses.

Just then I noticed Connor breathing out heavily. If my eyes weren't playing tricks on me, I could've sworn that a wisp of green smoke had come out of his mouth.

He and Josh exchanged nervous glances.

"I gotta go Amanda. I'll talk to you later."

He and Josh shoved their trays into the trash can, barely making it on the top of trash can thing when they threw them, and ran out the doors.

I sighed and slowly dumped the food off of my tray, and put the tray on the top of the trash can thingy.

I walked outside the doors of the Nasty Burger to see…Cenron Phantom trapping a ghost inside something that looked like…a thermos. Aren't those made for soup?

Cenron Phantom was the new Phantom that had been flying around town protecting people. No one really knew if Danny and Cenron Phantom were related…most people didn't really even care.

I stopped in my tracks.

"CENRON! CENRON WAIT!" I watched Angeline make her way over to Cenron, and she put her arms around him into a hug. He tried to push her off.

Angelina Sanchez was the biggest prep in the history of preps…being the daughter of Paulina Sanchez it wasn't too much of a surprise, my big sister Sam had told me.

"Hey, Angeline, who's your boyfriend," I asked her. Cenron glared at me, as a wide grin spread across Angeline's face.

Cenron disappeared, and then reappeared in front of me.

"Well, thanks for getting right in my face," I took a few steps back.

"Who are you?" he asked me.

"I think the better question is who are you?" I shot back at him and smiled. He smiled back at me.

"My name's Cenron Phantom, you can just call me Ren."

"Ren, isn't that a giiirrl name?"

He grimaced, and then shrugged.

"You still didn't tell me who you were." He said.

"Right now, you don't really need to know." I replied, not wanting to repeat the whole Bella/Amanda thing.

"Very well then, see ya around."

He disappeared, and I sighed.

I slowly walked back to my house.

Why did I have to lie…
