Another chapter, yay! Although around chapter 5, things will start slowing down, sadly. That's only because I have a few chapters written in advance. BUT, after the next two weeks, I will be done with the school year and be able to update more!

I have one small thing to say: if you don't like my story, don't continue to read it or even post a review. I will delete it like I already have done once before.

DPfangirl: I'm glad you like it! I love hearing from my readers and getting to know what you think of my writing and chapters! :)

Danny's P.O.V.

I groaned, shutting off my alarm clock. Last night was rough. I fought three ghosts and didn't get back home until about four o'clock this morning.

Hesitantly, I got out of bed and got ready for school. The first day back... always the most fun. Pick up on the sarcasm there?

I went about my daily routine before heading downstairs to get breakfast. At the table, I saw Jazz and my dad. After I grabbed some cereal, I joined them at the table. We were silent up until my mom came into the kitchen.

"Morning Danny, Jazz. Are you ready for the first day back, Danny?"

'Not really,' I thought. "Yeah," I lied though my teeth. Although, it wouldn't be the first time. "I better get going. Don't wanna be late."

"Bye!" my mom, dad, and Jazz yell at the same time as I walked out of the door.

I started heading down the sidewalk, then passed the home of the girl I took home just a week and a half ago. My mind wandered off, but I still kept walking.

Eventually, I made it to Casper High and through the halls to my locker. There was a big group around one of the lockers across the hall and made me wonder what was going on. I was able to see Dash, Paulina, Star, and some of the other populars before I saw her, the girl whose name I still don't know.

Returning my attention back to my locker, I opened it and put some things away before going to my first class.

~3 Classes Later~

It was the time of day I dreaded since Sam and Tucker moved: lunch. There were already a decent amount of people beginning to eat their food. I received my lunch and sat down in my normal spot, beginning to eat as well.

Bella's P.O.V.

I was walking away from the register after paying for my lunch. Paulina was waving, signaling to go sit by her. Right as I was about two tables away, I noticed a guy with black hair and blue eyes sitting by himself. Immediately, I headed towards the table he was at instead, totally ignoring Paulina's protests. I stopped when I got to the head of the table.

"Mind if I sit here?" I asked.

"No." He looked up at me after I sat myself and my tray of food down. "Are you sure you don't want to sit with Paulina?"

"I may be a cheerleader and, I guess, be in what some consider the popular group, but that doesn't mean I should leave someone by themselves. If Paulina doesn't like my decision, that's her problem. I'm my own person and have my own opinions. She can't control what I do."

"Wow. I've never heard anyone talk like that about the populars." He put air quotes around 'populars'.

"That's because no one has the guts to speak their mind."

He chuckled. "Yeah."

My normal smile came back on my face after I was done laughing along with him. "I'm Bella by the way."

"Danny," he replied.

We spent the rest of the lunch hour talking and found out we had our last class of the day together. Nothing like making a sincere friend on the first day. To me, Danny is the first friend I've made here, because, honestly, Paulina and her little group aren't meant to be real friends with me. I may take part in a popular thing to do here at Casper High, but that doesn't mean I have to be automatic friends with the people I don't necessarily trust.

The bell rang and I said my goodbye to Danny, then headed off to my next class.

Danny's P.O.V.

Well, I was definitely stereotyping Bella before she came over to sit with me. Now, I realize that she's not all that bad. Clearly, she doesn't like being told what she can and can't do. I learned that easily when Paulina came over to take her back to the popular table. Bella told her that she doesn't control her decisions. I think after that, the real world finally hit Paulina right in the face, because she left with a 'humph' and narrowed eyes.

I was now headed to my fourth class of the day. All that was on my mind though was last hour.
