Danny was walking down the street towards his apartment the next day. He had gone to the playground and little kids had cowered in fear. A couple of bigger, braver kids had asked for his autograph. He sighed, kicking a rock along. So mixed up was he in his thoughts, he didn't notice the girl laden with bags coming down the sidewalk until he crashed into her. CRASH! He scrambled to pick up all the things that had come out of the bags, apologizing as he did so. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention, I'll pay for anything that's damaged-" He was cut off by an icy voice.
"Shut up." He and the girl finished picking up the food and he stood up and looked at her. She was tall, coming to his nose. She was garbed in a top that was red with long dark-purple-decorated-with-black long sleeves that had the sides of the sleeves slit and they were held together by small white skulls, accented by her long black and red nails. A black leather skirt that went down to her knees and was decorated with thorns and skulls that had blood dripping off of them. Black fishnet tights and stiletto heeled boots that went up to her knees covered that. She had lipstick on that made it look like her lips were bleeding and red eyeshadow covered her lids, with an outline of black, making her icy cold crystal blue eyes look menacing. Long ebony hair flowed down her back to her feet, completing the look that said stay away before I suck your blood. She looked oddly familiar, but he had never seen anyone even resembling her. She was checking the food in her bag and finally looked up, "You won't have to pay for anything. It's all fine, except the cat food, which popped open." she said in a tone of voice that would have made a glacier shiver.
He sighed in relief. He was low on money at the minute. She stared at him penetratingly for a couple of minutes, so piercingly that it made him squirm. Finally she stopped. She walked past him, dropping a paper into his hand. Written on it was, "See you soon, ghost boy."
Danny slouched out of the library, where he'd been putting back a book he borrowed for a report. The fiery red-headed vice principal came down the hall towards him. He smiled at her. She was about the only person who wasn't scared of him. But then, she wasn't exactly normal herself, since she could make small bombs in her hands and throw them. Not to mention that she dressed slightly punkish. She was the most liked school official 5 years in a row. "Ah, Daniel, I thought you'd be here. I need to talk to you." She led the way to her office, where she picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Symone? Your student is here. Please come over to meet him." She listened for a minute and then nodded. "That'd be perfect, Symone." She hung up the phone and sat on the edge of her desk. "aniel, you are a good student in all of your classes. Except one. You are barely getting a passing grade in Math 15. So I've taken the liberty of arranging for you, Daniel, to be tutored." He stared at her, jaw hanging.
The door opened and the gothic girl from the sidewalk came in. "You called, Miss Darnell?"
"Ah, there you are, Symone. I just finished telling Daniel he was going to be tutored. Symone, I would like you to meet Daniel James Fenton. Daniel, I would like you to meet Symone Harriet Englemere. She's going to be tutoring you." Danny's eyes now rivaled dinner plates in size.
"She's going to be tutoring me?" he asked finally.
"Yes. She just transfered here. She has A's or better in all of her classes. She is the perfect choice. You two also seem to the share the same taste in clothes." she said. "Now shoo. Go get to know each other."
The two walked out. The girl turned and smirked at Danny. "Said I'd be seeing you again, ghosty. And a little sooner then you thought."
When they got out of the school, Danny started yelling. "Why the do I need a tutor? I'm doing just fine on my own! I don't need someone else to call me a freak!"
"Look, I suggest you get over your problem with me. And as far as me calling you a freak, that's not likely." she said, holding her hand out as a ball of light formed on her palm and then disappearing. She smiled a small smile and Danny could have sworn he saw fangs. "Now let's go." She walked down the street, Danny following, stunned into silence.
There. That's the second part. Now review or I shall stick my head in the juicer nad you shall never know what happens!
