"Danny! Danny! Wake up, Danny!"
Danny slowly opened his eyes. Katelyn was yelling at him to get up.
"Katelyn?" he asked, confused. He looked at his clock. 8:45! He was late for school!
"I'm late!" shouted Danny, jumping out of his bed.
"I know. You slept through your alarm. Your parents told Jazz to wake you up, since they went out," said Katelyn.
"What! Why didn't Jazz wake me up?" asked Danny, making his way toward his closet. He looked at Katelyn and blushed. Katelyn's face turned red as well. Danny was in his pajamas!
"I don't know what happened to Jazz. Sam and Tuck asked me to come here, to see if you were okay," finished Katelyn. Danny noticed that she was in her ghost mode.
"Hurry up, will you?" asked Katelyn as she turned around while Danny changed behind his closet. A few minutes went by, and Danny was ready. He skipped breakfast and flew to school, extra speedy (invisible of course). When they arrived at school, Lancer met them in the hallway.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? A couple of late students crossing my hallways," he sneered.
"We - we're sorry Mr. Lancer. We lost track of the time," said Katelyn, hoping he wouldn't give them a detention.
"You are expected at school ON TIME every morning. I have no choice but to give you a detention," answered Lancer. He took a notepad out of his pocket and started scribbling something on it.
"On, no you don't," muttered Danny. He turned invisible and overshadowed Lancer. Lancer, who's eyes had turned green, started talking in a rather squeaky voice.
"Oh, well. Accidents happen. Go to class, now," said Lancer/Danny. Danny flew out of Lancer and grabbed Katelyn's hand. They ran down the hall as fast as they could, laughing there heads off.
"That was cool!" exclaimed Katelyn, now taking stuff out of her locker. "I never knew you could do that!"
"Yeah, well. It was nothing," said Danny modestly. The pair made their way toward History class.
"Sorry we're late," said Danny, taking his seat next to Sam, who rolled her eyes at him.
"Well, better late then never," the teacher replied. Katelyn sat down next to Danny. She smiled at Danny and Danny flushed a bright red. He didn't even notice Sam squeeze her pencil so hard she broke it in half.
Ring!
The bell rang as the students filled the once emptied hallways.
"Next is gym," said Tucker, his PDA in hand.
"Great. My least favorite subject, next to everything," Danny complained.
"Gym is okay. Not one of my favorites, though," resounded Katelyn. Sam didn't say anything. The group entered the gym doors. Katelyn and Sam headed for the girl's locker room, while Tucker and Danny made their way to the boy's locker room.
"FRONT AND CENTER!" yelled the gym teacher. Everyone hurried into the gym. They looked fearfully at the teacher, wondering what evil sport he would make them play today.
"Today we're playing volleyball," he said. "I'm sure I don't need to repeat the rules, so GET YOUR TAILS ON ONE SIDE OF THE NET!" he yelled. The girls and boys ran onto two separate sides. The teacher threw the ball into the game with such force, the ball was blurry. They started playing. Tuck got his glasses knocked off three times, much to the dismay of the gym teacher.
"GET YOUR BOTTOM BACK INTO THE GAME, FOLEY!" he shouted. Danny stayed as far away from the ball as possible. Dash, quite the jock, smacked the ball with his palm, over to the girl's side. Sam caught it and sent it flying over to Katelyn.
CRASH
Katelyn was knocked to the floor, her hand covering a bloody nose.
"I'm sorry!" said Sam. She didn't look too sorry, though. The gym teacher helped Katelyn up and led her to the nurse's office.
"NO HORSING AROUND WHILE I'M GONE!" he yelled. Katelyn winced, as she was right next to him. Both teacher and student disappeared into the hallway. Everyone instantaneously started talking. Danny marched over to Sam.
"What were you doing?" he asked her, angry. "You hurt her!"
"It was an accident," she said simply, looking away from Danny.
"No it wasn't! You have been rude and horrible to Katelyn ever since you met her. What has she done to you?" Danny demanded. Sam looked lost for words. Danny turned on his heel and stormed out of the classroom, leaving a crying Sam behind him.
After class, Danny passed by the nurse's office. He peeked into the small window on the door and saw Katelyn sitting on a bench, a towel over her nose. The nurse sat at a desk, writing her report. Katelyn caught Danny's gaze and smiled weakly at him. Danny tried to smile back, but couldn't. He was mad at Sam. How could she be so vicious? Katelyn had been friendly to her and what does Sam do? Gives Katelyn a bloody nose!
"Alright, Sanders. Your free to go. You keep that towel pressed against your nose for a little while until it stops the flow," said the nurse, making Danny and Katelyn jump. The nurse put a slip of paper into a folder that read "Katelyn Sanders". Katelyn thanked the nurse and walked out the door.
"Hey," greeted Danny.
"Hey," Katelyn answered. Her tone was different. It sounded weak and embarrassed.
"Hey, it will be alright. It's just a bloody nose," comforted Danny. He tried backing up his words by placing his arm around Katelyn's shoulder. His cheeks turned red after a realized what he had done, but kept his arm there. Katelyn felt better after that. She even walked into math class with her head held up high, ignoring the smirks from the popular crowd. Danny sat down next to Katelyn, as far away from Sam as possible. Tucker sat somewhere in the middle.
Ring!
The last bell rang and everyone piled outside. Danny bid Katelyn and Tucker goodbye (ignoring Sam of course). He made his way home. After about fifteen minutes if walking, Danny reached his house, so different from all the other urban houses on his block. He walked into his house and slung his jacket over a chair in the living room.
"Jazz?" he called. No one answered. That was strange, Jazz always came home before Danny.
"Jazz!" he yelled again. There was no answer.
