Chapter 2
"This is insane," Jazz whispered/yelled at her sister and gothic best friend for below.
"No," Sam called back. "It's revenge."
Valerie and Jazz glanced at each other, knowing that Sam wasn't going to back down. They were currently outside of Paulina's bedroom window. Dani was carrying Sam and hovering beside the building.
"Ok Dani," Sam gave a wicked grin. "Let's do this."
Sam recalled her encounter with Paulina in the cafeteria a few days ago. Paulina had 'accidentally' tripped and spilled mystery meat all over Sam's favorite Dumpty Humpty shirt. Paulina smirked at Sam, saying "Oops," before snickering off with her plastic posse.
And now, standing invisible in Paulina's room, Sam felt revenge building up inside of her. She pulled away from Dani's grasp, turning visible.
"Keep a lookout," Sam said before heading towards Paulina's walk-in closet.
Dani only nodded with a grin, one hundred percent on board with Sam's plan.
When Sam entered Paulina's closet, she almost screamed. Sitting below her clothes where shoes usually rested was a shrine of Danny Phantom. There were pictures, news articles, pieces of hair and toe nail clippings (Sam shivered, not wanting to know how Paulina had gotten a hold of that) and candles that were unlit. Sam pulled out her phone and took a picture.
"Danny will love this," Sam muttered to herself with a smirk.
Sam proceeded to her plan and pulled out a can of black spray paint from her grocery bag. They had stopped at the store beforehand, where Sam explained her plan to the others.
Sam shook the can and smirked an evil grin. She picked up one of Paulina's signature pink crop tops and sprayed the whole thing black.
"Hehehe," Sam chuckled to herself.
She picked up another shirt. And then another. And then she sprayed some pants, and then two dresses. After a while, Sam was just spinning in circles spraying everything.
After her fourth paint can finally ran out, Sam decided that she'd done enough damage. She also knew Paulina wouldn't snitch. Even though they hated each other, their war was personal and private. They'd done a lot more damage to each other than destroying a few outfits, and Sam knew that Paulina could afford a new wardrobe. She got a new one every spring and summer break.
Sam was admiring her handy work when her eyes caught sight of something that made her heart skip a beat. It was hidden, but not good enough. Sam knew she shouldn't take it, but every fiber in her body was pulling her towards it.
"Sam," Sam nearly jumped out of her skin when Dani whispered her name.
"Yes?" Sam turned to see Dani's head thought Paulina's closet door.
"Paulina just got home," Dani explained in a hushed tone. "She's talking to her dad, but she'll be coming up soon. Are you ready?"
"Y-yes," Sam stuttered. "Just let me grab something."
Sam quickly grabbed the substance, careful to keep it out of Dani's eyesight, and slipped it into her dress pocket.
"I'm so glad you ladies could make it," Josh gave us a dimpled smile when as he approached the group of ladies.
"Glad to be here," Jazz smiled and observed the club. "This place is popping."
The club was full of teenagers and young college students. The dance floor was crowded with grinding teens with glow sticks around their necks and wrist. There were multiple black lights hanging from the ceiling, causing peoples shirts and pants to glow. The stage held a DJ surrounded by drums that were covered in neon paint. Various teens were drumming the drums and getting covered with paint that glowed on their skin. The females of the Phantom Team walked to the side to one of the many tables. Close by was a 'bar' that served non-alcoholic drinks and appetizers.
"I hope to see you guys on the dance floor," Josh glanced at Jazz before smiling and heading in the opposite direction.
"He totally wants you," Valerie nudged Jazz with a knowing look.
"Maybe," Jazz tried to look cool, but couldn't help but smile a little.
"I'm going to go get a drink," Dani announced. "You guys want anything."
The girls shook their heads 'no' and Dani went to the bar.
"Just a sprite," Dani told the thirty-something-year-old bartender.
Dani smiled gratefully at the bartender when he handed her the drink and sipped it down and glanced over the crowd. He eyes wondered for a while but frozen when a particular girl caught her eye. The girl noticed Dani look at her and grinned while jogging towards Dani.
"Hey Dani," the red head pulled Dani into a welcoming hug.
"H-hi Ray," Dani tried to suppress her blush.
"I'm surprised to see you here," Ray released Dani with a glowing grin. "I thought you weren't allowed to come here."
Dani pointed over to her sister.
"Girl's night."
"Right on," Ray's green eyes sparkled as she reached her hand out. "Dance with me."
It wasn't a question because she knew Dani wouldn't refuse her. Dani slowly placed her hand in Ray's, and Ray startled Dani by abruptly pulling her to the dance floor, her sprite forgotten.
Sam saw Dani get pulled onto the dance floor and smiled.
"Looks like Dani found a friend," Sam informed the other two girls, who looked towards Dani and smiled.
"That's Ray," Jazz said with a knowing smile.
"That's the Ray Dani is always talking about?" Valerie asked while still observing the two young teens on the dance floor.
"Yep," Jazz confirmed. "She's really sweet."
The girls stood and watched the crowd for a while when Sam had another brilliant idea.
"Follow me," Sam grabbed their wrist and pulled them along the side of the dance floor and onto the stage. Jazz and Valerie were shocked by Sam's out of character behavior when Sam pulled them to an empty drum with three pairs of drum sticks.
Sam grinned and handed each girl a pair of sticks and laughed at their expressions.
"Come on," Sam laughed and started banging the drum to the beat of the blasting music. "It's girl's night! I'm allowed to be a little crazy."
Sam's excitement was contagious, and the girls quickly joined her in beating the drum. They danced to the music and let the paint cover their faces and clothes.
After a few songs, the girls decided to give another group of teens a chance with the drums.
"I'm going to sit down," Sam screamed over the music at her two friends. They nodded their heads towards the bar, indicating that they were going to get drinks. Sam nodded before walking in the opposite direction.
Sam made it to the back of the club where the music was not as loud. She was looking for an unoccupied seat when someone called her name.
"Sam!"
Sam turned to see her old friend Steve waving from a couch with a bunch of his friends. Sam smiled but hesitated before making her way over to him.
"Sam," he stood up and met her beside the couch he was previously sitting on. "It's been a while."
"Yeah," Sam glanced behind Steve to see three other teens that didn't look familiar. "I've just been hanging around."
"I've missed you," he ran his hands through his blond hair that was covered in neon paint. "You were the best to hang out with. Now I'm stuck with these losers."
He pointed to the three teens behind him, but I could tell he was joking about them being losers from his mocking smile.
"I don't really do that anymore," Sam admitted, pushing a stranded of her hair behind her ear.
"What?" Steve's hazel eyes went wide with shock. "Really?"
"Yea," Sam replied sheepishly.
"It was because of that Fenton kid," Steve scowled at me. "Wasn't it?"
Sam was stunned by his assumption, but couldn't reply because someone grabbed her shoulder.
"Come join us at The Under 21 Club!" shouted a blond kid with his phone camera facing him and a confused Sam. "We've got loud music and hot girls!"
He ended the video and turned to Sam.
"Sorry if I scared you, I'm a promoter," he waved his phone at Sam. "Snapchat."
Sam just waved him off with a smile, her mind still focused on what Steven said.
"So," Sam crossed her arms and approached Steve. "What about Danny?"
