Challenge Topic #27: Thoughts
Character(s): Sam Manson, Paulina
Minor Characters: Danny Fenton/Phantom, Tucker Foley
I just finished the last sentence when I finally relaxed my shoulders. The essay I was typing for class was done, so I could just chill until the period was over. Bored, I glanced over to Tucker. Since he was sitting right next to me, I could already see that he hasn't even come close to the end of the page. He was, instead, wasting his time trying to sneak his PDA out when Lancer wasn't looking. Typical.
Danny sat on the other side of me, though I was amazed on how much harder he's working to get a good grade on this.
"Hey. Danny." I whispered. He didn't even glance at me and kept his eyes glued to the screen typing.
"What?" he responded.
"Did you actually…study?"
He stopped typing that instant and looked at me. "If I didn't, then I wouldn't be typing now, would I?"
"I guess not. So you probably had a good night sleep then? No ghosts?"
"Yeah. It's kinda weird, but its not like I'm complaining or anything. Last night was the best sleep I've had in months."
I left him to finish his essay. It wouldn't be too good of me to ruin his day by interrupting him.
My attention shifted to the Miss Prissy in the corner of the room. As I would expect, she had nothing on her screen typed, but it was a little too obvious to know what she was doing.
And that was looking for online pictures of Danny Phantom.
"Oh, Invisobill!" Paulina's voice rang across the room, talking to the inanimate picture. "Fly me into the sunset with you…!"
I turned to Danny, expecting to see a reaction. It didn't seem like he heard her.
"And just when I thought today would go smoothly…" I said to myself. Paulina instantly shot her head in my direction as if she had the ears of a bat.
"What did you just say, loser?"
I walked up to her, since I had nothing better to do, until her face was right in front of mine.
"I hate to break it to you," I hissed. "But Danny would never fall for a dumb girl like you."
Paulina sneered. "And you're any better? I'm not even sure if Invisobill will fall for a witch like you either."
It's really annoying that she still doesn't know that Danny's first name is "Danny" and not his stupid nicknames "Invisobill" or "Ghost Boy."
Calm down, Manson, I said to myself. Don't let her get to you.
"Don't tell me you like him!" Paulina jeered. "Everyone knows that Invisobill will be my next boyfriend!"
"And what about Dash?"
"…He's fine with it." She huffed. "But since you've never had a boyfriend…I might as well take Fenton along with me just to make you mad."
That did it.
"You know what I think?" I yelled, ignoring the stares I got from everyone. "I think you're as worse as they get You think you're so cute and nice, but you really are just stupid! Sure, you can get guys to drool over you, but don't get your head up in the clouds! Danny is mine."
She turned away from me.
"Like that'll happen!" she laughed. "I'll always be a step ahead of you. Invisobill will be with me when it's all over."
She stormed away.
…

…
When only then had I realized my mistake and I covered my face to hide my blush. I could tell that Danny's jaw dropped. I'm such an idiot, saying my thoughts out loud that carelessly!
If Sam Manson had looked up, she would have heard Tucker's laugh of victory and the smile Danny had on his face.

I'm pretty sure everyone blows up like Sam once and a while, right?
