I watch her cry. I would comfort her, but I'm just a geek and she's an a lister, and a geek should never approach an a lister, but no one is around. Who would even know about it? I tentatively approach my popular peer.
"Are you ok?" I ask, awkwardly placing my hand on her shoulder.
She looks away and mutters,"I'm fine."
"No you're not. I can tell. Let me help you."
"What could you possibly do to help?" She demands.
"I can be here for you," I state.
"Why do you want to help me? All I've ever done is bully you!"
"I don't care about that. If you need help, I'm here for you."
"I won't make you popular just because you help me." Does she really think that's why I'm helping her?
"I don't care about popularity. I just want to help. What's wrong?" She looks at the ground.
"Its school. I'm failing a lot of classes and my parents are getting upset. And all these ghosts suddenly showing up, it's insane! We're defenseless and these things attack us all the time! Someone is going to die someday!"
"No one is going to die as long as Danny Phantom is around and I can help you with your grades."
"But what happens when Ghost Boy isn't around? What if he's too late one day? And it's not just that, I feel like there's something big going on that we can't wrap our arms around!" Something big? I think I've noticed this, too. There's just something off about everything going on recently, but whenever I talk to my friends about it, they act like I'm crazy. It may be something big going on, but it only leaves behind small clues. I stare at her. I never thought someone so dumb could be so observative over anything but fashion.
"I...feel it too. Maybe we can figure it out together."
"Ok, but we can't be seen together at school. It'll ruin my reputation." I roll my eyes.
"Deal." We shake on it and she walks away as I watch her long hair sway behind her before leaving myself. I think back to all the weird things going on in town. The sudden weird behavior of my peers, all the ghosts showing up out of nowhere, it's all so weird. It's all connected somehow, but how? I have to figure it, and I know just where to start looking. The kid that seems to be connected to it all somehow. The kid with gust hunting parents. Danny Fenton.
A/n I don't own Danny Phantom.
