The Science of Friendship
Chapter 10
I take a deep breathe, working up the courage I need.
Slowly, but surely, I walk over to wear the three friends sit.
"Hi, guys."
Tucker looks up and shoots me a weak smile.
"Hey, Star." He mutters.
"I-I'm sorry for how I reacted. I was just so mad."
All three sets of eyes are now on me.
I continue, "I was mad because I thought you were my friends."
"I thought you were my best friends. Don't best friends tell each other everything?"
"I was mad because I thought you didn't trust me."
Tears threaten to come, but I hold them back. I can't cry now.
Tucker stands up, and pulls me in, I prepare myself for a hug.
But instead, I get a kiss.
It's a full lip-on-lip kiss, and it's wonderful.
It's soft and sweet and magical.
And when he pulls away, both of us are grinning like mad.
That's when I turn to Danny and say, "Is it true?"
"Is what true?"
"Are you Danny Phantom?"
Nervously he says, "Yes."
I hug him.
He sits, looking confused.
"You don't think I'm a freak?"
"Of course not, Danny."
He smiles.
"But you know I'm going to need an explanation."
He nods.
"And maybe some blood samples…."
We all laugh.
Looks like my life is finally falling back into place.
I take Tucker's hand, and together, the four of us, we walk into school.
