Told in Danny's Point of View
I never really enjoyed February. There was something about it that never struck me as a good month. It was like a really bad sandwich, two pretty good, thick months surrounding it, but a thin little slab of mystery that one never enjoyed eating, but had to nonetheless. Perhaps it was because I'd have already screwed up my New Year's resolution, despite how easy it was to maintain, or maybe because it was just so gray. Why does February always have to be so gray? It seems as though the sky just gave up trying to give off color, and clouded my world with snow, ice, and an overall feeling of misery. That's another thing, the snow. Why did it always have to snow torrentially in this month? How could January be so nice, it was always in the mid 40's and half the time bright sunny skies that could rival May's sunshine? But alas, May is a long way off and I am stuck here in February, at least it's a short month.
Living in Amity Park didn't make it much better either. Of all the places I live, why did I have to live the most haunted place on Earth? Although with my parents' invention of the ghost portal, any place I lived in would be the most haunted. Not that living here was a bad thing, but it was noisy. I would be lucky to get 8 hours of sleep in a twenty-four hour period…most of it during Mr. Lancer's classes, but it was just English, and I speak it good anyway.
It's just getting annoying always fighting these ghosts, I don't really enjoy going to school hiding bruises and scar under my shirt, and I sure don't enjoy explaining them to Sam who just goes into a freaking tantrum telling me how worried she is about me and how I should be more careful.
That's one of the few things in Amity Park that I love, well not like that… I think. Sam. She really is great, and despite everything she has been put through, mostly my enemies, or my mistakes, she still manages to stay a reasonably happy person. She, among other single people I know…excluding Tucker of course agrees with me on another controversial subject that specifically deals with my disdain towards February.
Valentines Day. There wasn't a point to it. None, zip, notta. There is no point in celebrating a holiday to love those who are close to you. It's an excuse for the hallmark companies to make money off of people who they've guilt-tripped into thinking they need to spend ridiculous amounts of money to prove they love someone.
See, Sam and I both agreed to this subject, and we both agreed about how lame February was. Which made it even more… well I can't really describe having a friend like Sam, it's just something really amazing.
Talking about Valentines with Sam always made me feel a little lonely deep down in my heart, I was starting to wonder if I could ever find love. Someone who I can have the time of my life by just doing menial tasks like going grocery shopping … or saving the world with them. Someone like Sam.
But I don't know, my life isn't that calm and silent to allow me to think about everything going into this, and my heart is still a little sore from the past. But through all of this turmoil going on through my life right now, maybe I can find some love, maybe…
Maybe… my love is right under my nose…
But just to make sure the greatest feeling doesn't happen in the worst month… I won't bother to smell it till March 1st.
