The final bell for school rang. I dashed to my locker and waited until everyone was out of the halls. Once the halls were empty, i opened up my locker to be glomped by Sydney. We rolled to the opposite side of the hall. "well hey to you too." i said as i smiled at him giving him a friendly peck upon the cheek. He looked up at me with a smile. I looked down at him as I lay upon him slightly and returned his friendly smile. I rolled off of him and stood up, offering my hand to help him to his feet. "Well, I should be heading home. Want to come with?," i asked him. "She's asking me to come to her house! Holy socks!," sydney said to himself in his mind. A big ol smile appeared upon his face as he nodded and offered his arm. "Shall we?" I giggled and slipped my arm into his as we walked to the front doors of Casper High to leave after i collected my things. Once we exited the doors, I went ghost and we zoomed up into the sky.
The gentle summer-ish breeze brushing against my now blue hair made me feel so calm. I kept close by sydney but then noticed his hand slip to mine as we flew. My cheeks turned bright red as so did his. We moved closer as we flew to my home. All of a sudden, Sydney screamed and flew backwards into a brick building with a loud thud. Dust and bricks flew in different directions. I recalled seeing a green ghost ray coming at him. I looked at where it had come from and there i saw, Danny Phantom. I glared at him and snarled. "What the heck are you doing, Danny!?," i yelled at him, my fists glowing blue and i glared at him. "Woah! Take it easy Ambs. You're acting like i don't know what i'm doing. He's a villian, a ghostly nerd villian non-the-less." I growled and snapped at him saying, "He is not, he may be a nerd but he's not a villian," i flew over to Sydney and helped him out of the rubble. "Sydney, are you ok, hun?," i asked and gently stroked his cheek. His shoulder sleeve was ripped and his cheek had a bit of a scrape on it but he looked fine, except for the angered look upon his face at Danny. "Yes, i'm fine, and thanks." We floated back over by Danny, i kept sydney behind me so he wouldn't get into a fight with Danny but my right fist glew blue. I was still was angry at Danny for what he had done to Sydney. "I don't get it, Amber. What makes you think Poindexter isn't a villian?," Danny asked me as he floated there infront of me, scratching the back of his neck. "Danny, have you ever taken a second to think about why he hates bullies so much? Or why he attacked you, Sam, and Tucker the first time he met you? It's because HE was bullied..JUST LIKE YOU!" My throat then went dry, my cheeks blushing as i looked back at sydney. his eyes looking at me as his scowl changed to a wondering look of curiosity. I stuttered, and then said, "and I like him ok..." and with that i flew off quicker than they could both blink in a streak of blue.
"Way to go "buster-brown"," snapped Sydney as he glarred at Danny and flew off after me, leaving Danny feeling stupid and clueless. I flew to the top of a building and hugged my knees to my chest. I sat there for bout 3 minutes and then felt someone place their ghostly arms around my waist and pull me to them. i looked to my right and saw Sydney's chin resting upon my shoulder. "You seriously, like me? No girl has ever liked me..." "I do..." I felt him sigh happily and nuzzle his head against my neck and hair. I smiled and reached an arm back and stroked his silky, ghostly black hair. I then heard him sniffle and felt a slight wetness upon my shoulder. My eyes widened as i turned around and tilted his head up. "Sydney? What's wrong?," i asked him softly. I looked at him, tears coming down his freckled cheeks underneath the rims of his glasses. There was a smile upon his lips. "I've never had a friend before...," was what he said as he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tight. I smiled and hugged him in return. "Oh Sydney...," i sighed softly and happily hugging my friend. We stood up and flew off to my home. "Race ya," i yelled to him in the sky. "You betcha!" We zoomed quickly to my place. Of course, i won, not because I was faster, but because Sydney didn't know where i lived and pretty well had to follow me.
