The doorbell rang twice. "Coming!" Sam called. She opened it to reveal her lover.
"Glad you could make it." Sam said warmly and kissed her love.
The Next Morning
"Hey Sam," Danny muttered. "How was your night?"
Sam smiled dreamily and said, "It was perfect."
Tucker looked closely at Sam. "You seem to be in a very good mood." He said.
Sam giggled. "I'm in love, you idiot." She explained.
Danny and Tucker both exclaimed, "What?"
Tucker got close to Sam and asked, "Who is he? Is he good with computers? Does he wear-?"
Danny pushed Tucker out of the way and demanded, "Who is he? Is he another half-ghost? Is he tall?"
Sam put up a hand, stopping the onslaught of questions. "I'm not telling you, now hush. Danny how was ghost fighting last night?"
Danny sighed. "Terrible," he groaned. "Desiree, Skulker, Technus, and the Box Ghost all escaped the ghost portal." He yawned. "I barely got any sleep."
As the trio rounded a corner, they all bumped into Paulina, Dash and Kwan. Sam and Paulina literally smashed heads and fell to the ground. Danny smashed face-first into Dash's broad chest.
"Hey," Dash growled. "Watch it Fentoid or you'll get a first-hand look at my fist." He sauntered away with Kwan by his side.
"Watch where you're going," Paulina scoffed. "I don't want to get nerd all over me."
"Shut up Paulina," Sam growled. "Don't you have to go back to the hospital so they can remove your super-huge zit? Oops, I'm sorry, that's your face."
Paulina sniffed and pushed past the trio. Sam, Tucker and Danny headed to class, still snickering over Sam's joke.
After class the three friends headed to lunch. "Movie night at Sam's!" Tucker cheered.
Sam blushed and countered, "Actually, that can't happen. My parents won't let a guy into the house unless I'm there. I'm going on a date tonight."
At that moment, Paulina and her group of cheerleader were walking past and they erupted into laughter. "You've got a date?" a dark-skinned girl asked. "I never thought that would happen. Who is it? Godzilla?" They strode away. Danny Sam and Tucker stared after them for a bit.
Then, Danny and Tucker sighed. "So we're staying home tonight?" Tucker asked dejectedly.
Sam huffed, "Guess so Tuck." She stood and went to dump her tray.
While she was gone, Danny leaned close to Tucker and whispered, "I have a hunch that Sam is going to be home until about eight tonight, so we have that long to try and convince her that we should have movie night rather than her go on a date."
When Sam came back, Danny and Tucker nodded to her. She turned to look at the popular kids' table; specifically, Dash and Paulina. Sam sighed with a dreamy look on her face.
When the bell rang, the group parted and Sam went off to art class. Today, they were supposed to paint a portrait of their partner. Sam was paired with Paulina. The two girls set to work. After forty minutes had passed, their art teacher came to inspect their work. She found two works of art, both capturing the design and detail.
Paulina had painted every detail of Sam's flawless face and body. As the background, she had painted Sam in a cemetery with black roses and wilted dandelions all around. Sam's outfit was a sleek, mid-thigh, black dress with purple combat boots and a thin, purple choker. Paulina had gotten creative and painted Sam holding a bouquet of black roses.
Sam had painted Paulina as perfectly as though it was the real thing. Paulina was in a meadow with lilies and pink roses all around. Paulina's outfit was a hot pink ankle-length dress with dark pink sandals and a lilac corsage. Sam had gotten the same idea as Paulina and had painted the popular girl with a bouquet of red roses in her arms.
"Magnificent!" The art teacher exclaimed. "The beauty, the grace, the detail! They could step right off the paper. A+ for both of you." She clapped her hands and moved on.
Sam and Paulina stared at the portraits of themselves. "I didn't know you saw me so well." Sam said with the hints of a smirk.
"Same to you." Paulina replied. "Hey, why don't we switch so we can each have a self-portrait in our bedrooms."
Sam grinned. "Deal! But first let's sign them." The girls signed their paintings and swapped.
"Great!" Paulina squealed gleefully. The bell rang and everyone left for the next class.
