Danny couldn't see clearly for a second. A figure stood over him, and it spoke in the same voice.
"Are you okay?" it asked. Danny was dazed for a while. The figure became clearer to him and he saw that it was girl. He hadn't seen her before, so she must've been new to the school. She bent over to help him up, holding his arms just below the shoulders. Danny grabbed her arms in the same place as she helped him up.
"Yeah, I think so," Danny said. He took a better look at her. She was as tall as him, with dirty-blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail and dark-green eyes. She was rather thin, wearing a plain light blue t-shirt and blue jeans. She held out her hand.
"Hi, I'm Tara, Tara Sparett," she said.
"I'm Danny, Danny Fenton," Danny said, taking her hand and shaking it.
"Now that I've rescued you from the "evil" locker, could you tell me where the office is? I'm sorta new here," Tara said.
"Sure," Danny said, "it's just down that hall."
"Thanks," Tara said. "Hey, you wanna have lunch with me today?"
"Well, I was going to have lunch with my--" Danny remembered how his friends weren't there when he was in the locker.
"Actually, I'd love to have lunch with you."
"Thanks, see you around!" she called, going down the hall. Danny looked at her as he headed to his first period class. He couldn't help but feel a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach. He kept heading to class.
