Hello again! Here is the third chapter! I hope you all enjoy this.
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, I wish I did because then I could make episodes for myself.

Sam looked up into Holly's eyes. "Ok now what do I do? He has a girlfriend." She said depressed.
"Well talk to him get to know him, be friends with him. It wouldn't hurt and they might break up." She told her.
Sam gave her a get-real-look.
"What? It could happen and it doesn't hurt to be friends with him. I have a boyfriend and I'm still friends with Mr. Fenton." She said helping Sam up.
"How? He doesn't even know I exist?" She asked a frown permanently sealed on her face.
Holly thought for a second, then her face lit up. "I have an idea. I teach in your portable and there is always a health class in the room next to yours. Now teachers are allowed to stay in the room. But I've known Jerry since I was in high school so I'm sure he wouldn't mind kicking him out for me." She said with a smile. Sam looked at her in confusion.
"Jerry?" She asked. Holly smiled and nodded.
"Yeah Jerry Havallis. He's the head coach for this school, he's also one of the coolest teachers." She said. "Come on I bet we can grab Jerry before his and my class begins." She told her grabbing her arm and leading her out the door. A broad shouldered dark haired man was walking into the portable when Holly called out to him.
"Jerry!" She screamed. He turned around and smiled.
"Hey Holly! What are you doing here? I thought only real teachers had to come today." He said smiling. You could tell there was Italian in him. He had dark skin and a Sylvester Stallone type face. She laughed and ran up to him and gave him a hug.
"Then what are you doing here? You're a gym teacher!" She laughed as they pulled away.
"Hey, I do two jobs here, health and gym." He said with. "And who are you?" He asked looking at Sam.
"Oh this is Sam, she's the teacher I'm co-rooming with this year. And we need your help." She said. He looked at Holly and laughed.
"That's why I'm here. To help you when you get caught in your situations." He said. "But what do you need?"
"Ok you know who your co-rooming with right?" She asked.
"Yeah Fenton, the new kid. I like him he's really fun loving and he's our age too." He said.
"We need you to kick him out so we can get these 2 together." She said. "I told Sam to bring him down to Sarah's room where all the other teachers hang out while we work." She said. He pondered this while they waited.
"Why take her to Sarah's main room, take them to the room over, there's privacy there." He told her.
"That's a great idea, thanks, will you do it?" She asked. She looked at his emotionless light brown eyes.
"Yeah sure why not. The kid doesn't know the rules anyway." He said. Holly screamed a little and hugged him again.
"Thanks Jer, you don't know what this means to me." She said. "I'll see you 2 periods from now." She said as she and Sam went into their room.
Coach Havallis went into his classroom to see Danny sitting in the desk in the back.
"Hey Danny. Is it ok if you leave, I mean I have a class and I'm use to teaching this sort of thing alone, ya know?" He said putting his papers on the front desk.
Danny looked up in confusion.
"Uh, why, I mean what are you teaching that you usually teach without an audience?" He asked. Coach Havallis smiled, one thing he loved seeing is the new teacher's reactions to the health curriculum.
"Pregnancy, how girls become pregnant and STD's." He said. Danny's face went white for a second and then he blushed a little.
"Oh, sure I'll get out." He said quickly and packed things up. He walked out of his room just as Sam walked out of hers and almost crashed into her.
"Sorry." He said. He looked at her. "Do you know where your going, because I just kicked out of my room." He told her. She smiled..
"Yeah there's an extra room near the foods room. I'll show you." She said. They walked a little faster and went through the cafeteria, took a right into the foods room. A class was in session so they went to the room next to it. Sam opened it with permission given to her by the foods teacher Sarah Bockner.
It was a regular sized room, it could've held around 30 students if any used it. It was a personal and unofficial and teacher's lounge. Sam sat down and opened her notebook. She was a writer, she couldn't help it. She had just finished her first book and a publisher in New York was looking it over.
Not one for silence Danny broke it.
"So do you like your classes?" he asked. She nodded.
"I like all of them but I have a feeling my period 6 is going to give me trouble." She said.
"Same with me, only they're my period 7." He said. They started talking and realized they had a lot in common.
"I swear, all I hear is techno, and rap these days." Sam pointed out. "What happened to all of our bands from like 2006?" She asked him.
He smiled and slid an old pencil across the table. "I don't know, but a lot of the kids in my- I mean our classes listen to the old stuff a lot too, like GreenDay and My Chemical Romance. The American Idols too, Clay and Kelly. It's good to hear real music, you know?" He said.
Sam leaned back in her chair and brushed a stray raven lock from her face.
"God I haven't heard GreenDay on the radio in a long time." Sam said. " I still have all of their CDs." She said smiling at the thought.
"Yeah, now there are Ipods that get smaller every 10 minutes. Not that I'm complaining, I have 2,000 songs on mine." He said.
"Yeah I have 1500 myself." She told him as she reached for her out-dated nano.
A song started playing and Danny smiled.
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams." He said. "That's an awesome song." He told her as he took his out of his sling around briefcase.
He fingered it thoughtfully and stared at it. "You know it's unfair how we can bring these things in, but the kids can't, same way with a lot of stuff." He said.
"Oh please, the kids always bring them in, a lot of teachers never report them, because it's unfair." She said. "I never do."
Danny scoffed, still staring aimlessly at his Ipod. "A good teacher by their standards would." He said nodding in the direction of the principle's office. "That's why I never got a job at any school." His voice grew more serious with every word, as if he was letting the scorn of rejected applications become healed.
"I was always the unorthodox teacher. The one that was too risky, the one that wouldn't follow the curriculum." He said his tone growing fainter as if he was not sure of what to say next. "One no one wanted until everyone else was picked." He laughed, a small laugh of regret and sorrow. "I thought that ended once you left high school. I guess not." He said.
Sam looked at him, her eyes full of a longing. A longing to comfort him, to be there for him. She wanted to say something, but what? The bell rang, announcing the end of electives and period 1, when kids went back to homeroom. He left silently and Sam realized that behind his blue eyes was a deeper pain, brought on by a secret, that was almost unknown to the world.
Ok that's the third chapter! Sorry it's so late, I swear everything on this earth collaborated together to stop me from finishing this. Stomach virus, damaged computer and 3 projects due in a row! But no worries, you will get the next chapter chapter.
