Hey everyone! :) I hope you enjoy this Danny Phantom fanfic. The timezone is after "Phantom Planet" Enjoy!
Danny woke up in his bedroom with the feeling of warmth where the suns rays from his open window hit the ghost boys cheek. He groaned when he realized it was Monday. In hopes he may have woken up early and may have the opportunity to get a few minutes of snooze, his hopes vanished when he looked over at his nightstand that read 7:00. He groaned and forced himself to pull himself out of bed.
The sight of his bedroom is of any typical young teenage boy; posters on the wall, dirty clothes lazily grouped in one corner of the room, his computer on screen saver and a messed up bed.
Danny stretched his arms in a Y-shape, yawning while walking to his closet. He pulled out his usual white T-Shirt, blue jeans and red converse sneakers. Now awake, he ran toward the bathroom, grabbed his toothbrush and applied toothpaste. After brushing his teeth, he ran downstairs to meet his sister, Jazz (who was typically studying at the table) and his mom washing her dishes.
His mom beamed at him and pushed a locket of yellow hair behind her ear, her purple eyes meeting her son's crystal blue ones. "Good morning Danny!"
"Morning mom. Wheres dad?"
His mom huffed and looked back down at her task in the sink. "He went out looking for a job. Again."
Ever since Danny saved the earth and his secret identity was revealed to his father, he's given up ghost hunting permanently, with his newfound knowledge that all ghosts werent a threat to him and his family. Ever since then, hes been looking for a usual job ever since.
The ghost boy shook his head, heading to his already set up part of the table where pancakes with syrup laid waiting for him. "What is he going for this time?"
"Cooking." mumbled his sister Jazz without looking up from her book.
"Ahh"
After finishing his breakfast, Danny head out for school.
"Hey Danny!"
Danny looked out across the school field to see his two friends waving at him simultaneously. Danny smiled and walked toward them, mostly eager to see Sam more than anything.
"Hey Sam." He beamed, slipping his had to clutch the goth girl's hand and leaning in to kiss her cheek. Tucker coughed and adjusted his red beanie looking for obvious attention, too. Danny smirked at Tucker's action and walked over to greet him.
Shortly after they did the 'how was your summer' routine, the school bell rang and the three teenagers walked in the school.
One thing Danny noticed is that ever since he saved the world, and he exposed his identity to the whole city, he seems to get more attention now, but he doesnt get as much as he expected. People seemed to treat him about the same way, although he does hear whispering in the hall way with faint echos of his name once in a while. But the ghost boy didnt care. In fact he was relieved! He wasnt looking forward to running down the street and being pestered by screaming girls calling his name and trying to get an autograph and rip his clothes off to sell them on the internet.
As long as he had his best friends, he was content.
"So," Tucker began cutting off the silence as they were grouped at Danny's locker waiting for him to get out his books to they can walk to class together, like how they always did. "Any new ghosts cross your path while you were on break?"
"Nope. Same old ghosts-"
"Danny!"
The sound of a very familiar accent yelling his name pierced Danny's ears as he turned around to face it. He groaned as he saw Paulina approaching from across the hallway, with her cheerleader squad not to far behind her.
Sam grunted in annoyance.
Out of all the things Danny has noticed from revealing his identity, the fact that Paulina was giving him more attention was most likly the most annoying.
"Hi Danny!" The prep girl stood in front of Danny, leaning on her right leg with her hand on her hip, glitter faintly falling from her glittery eye shadow as she batted her eyes flirtaciously at the ghost boy. Danny, obviously not phased turned his focus back to his locker and began to rearrange his supplies. Paulina knew that Danny didnt want to speak to her, but she wasnt prepared to give up so easily. She leaned on the locker next to Danny and pushed a lock of her flowing brown hair behind her ear.
"Hi." she repeated. When Danny still didnt reply, she pushed on. "So, my daddy bought me two tickets to see the new movie that just came out yesterday. Do you want to come?"
With a flick of his wrist, Danny closed his locker and faced Paulina obviously annoyed. "Nope."
"Are you sure? Their front row and-"
Paulina was cut off by Danny holding his hand out in front of her face. "I said no." He repeated again, and wrapped his arm across Sam's shoulders and smiled. "Me and Sam already made plans. But thank you for the offer anyway."
Paulina made an angry expression and her soft voice instantly turned to anger. "I don't know why you waist your time and energy on this goth girl freak!" She started, fists at her side and stomping on the floor as if being a 5-year-old child who can't get a toy she wanted.
"I don't know why you don't just give up." Sam said edging toward her boyfriend with a triumphant smile spread across her face.
With a short huff, Paulina spun around on her heals and walked away, her tail of cheerleaders behind her.
Tucker shook his head with pity. "That girl seriously has to get a life."
The Danny and his girlfriend nodded in agreement. Before Sam could make one of her usual sly comments about Paulina, an announcement came from the speaker. A very unfamiliar voice filled Casper High's hallways making all the students become mute including Danny, Sam and Tucker.
"Will a mister Danny Fenton please report to the office? Thank you."
Tucker caught sight of Danny, still facing the speaker, raise his eye brow in confusion. "What, you didn't hear that Casper High has a new principle?"
"No. I didn't."
Danny walked into the principles office and closed the door behind him. When he turned around to face the principle, he got a clear look of him.
The tall and slender man had on a buttoned down white dress shirt that was tucked into his black dress pants with patent leather dress shoes. His green eyes glistened behind his rectangular lenses in his glasses. He was leaned over on his wooden desk resting on his folded hands propped on his elbows.
"Hello... Danny, correct?" He said, with a very serious tone escaping from his mouth.
"Yes sir. That's me." said Danny. The room was a bright with the light being on and the windows open. But something about the man's presence of being in the room made it feel like the opposite.
He gestured for Danny to sit down on a chair across from his desk. Danny obeyed and sat down facing the man. After the man held out his hand across his desk and Danny shook it.
"I'm Principle Yonders ." the man stated while letting go of Danny's hand.
"Am I in trouble?" Asked Danny, knowing that's usually the main reason why he gets called to the principles office. But to his surprise, Principle Yonders shook his head.
"Not at the slightest." He said as he got up and started to walk toward the open window and faced it with his back facing the ghost boy, who was now more calm thanks to the principles last statement. "I brought you here merely to have a simple meeting with you. Just so you can understand the expectations I have of you."
Danny raised an eye brow. "Expectations?" He turned around and nodded his head.
He turned to face Danny, his green eyes meeting his. And his voice became firm.
"Now. I know that you are really Danny Phantom, and you saved the world and now your a big hero," he put air quotes at 'big hero'. "But in this school, in these classrooms, and in these hallways, you are in my territory. Don't expect to get any special treatment or be treated any different from the other students. You are a teenage boy who has to finish high school, do homework, can get in trouble, and has to eat sleep and breath just like the others. Your no different. Do you understand?"
Danny was about to protest when the principles deep, mellow voice cut him off.
"I'll take that as a yes." He said settling back down in his chair.
"You are dismissed."
