Nicki: Thanks for reviewing! So glad that you liked the story, Crazyvi! Just wanted to say that this chapter should be longer.

Nicole walked down the steps where she felt a presence coming from. It wasn't just any presence, Nicole recognized it from many other experiences.

"Dad?" She asked as she walked down the steps into some strange lab. Then she saw it, the ghost portal! It was closed, and she needed to figure out how to open it! Somehow, she had to find a way. She started looking all around, trying to find a button or something on one of the tables. Soon, after checking over the tables, and looking everywhere else, she found it! As the door opened, she saw the whirling green of the ghost zone.

"What are you doing down here?" Someone behind her asked. She whirled around to come face to face with none other than Danny.

"Nothing, I was just looking around for the bathroom" She said, as Danny closed the portal to the ghost zone. She glared at his back, but the glare instantly turned into a normal small smile when Danny turned around. "Maybe it's different where you live, how about I show you around?" He asked. She didn't roll her eyes, though she wanted to. "Okay, if it's no trouble of course" She smiled. So close, why did he come! WHY! WHY! WHY! Her thoughts screamed.

Later

"And this is Jazz's room, and that's the house. So now you won't be so confused at where everything is." Danny concluded the mini tour. "Thanks a ton, now, I kinda need to go to the bathroom so if you don't mind" Nicole bolted for the bathroom, because by this time she really needed to go! "Whatever" Danny shrugged, as he went to his room to start playing an online game with Tucker and Sam.

"Dad! I almost did it! But it's hard with Danny everywhere! I just about had it" Nicole stopped talking into the cell phone. She held it away from her ear as the loud voice could be heard from a metre away. "Dad! Patience is a virtue, and I wanna get outta here soon to! I'll talk to you later" Nicole said, hanging up her cell phone. She threw herself down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. Soon, okay! Soon...

Next Day;

School

"Nicole, I want you to meet my friends. Sam and Tucker. Tucker and Sam, this is Nicole. She's the exchange student I told you about" Danny said introducing everyone to each other as they walked to the office to get Nicole's schedule.

"Hey, what's up?" Tucker asked Nicole. "Uh...Nothing" Nicole said, slightly confused. "He means 'Hi, how are you' I think" Sam said. "OH! I'm fine. What's up with you?" Nicole asked, trying to have an okay conversation with the tech-y guy. "Never mind him, let's take a look at your schedule" Sam said, taking the schedule from Nicole and scanning it over. "Cool, you're in some of the same classes as us, like science!" Sam said. "Woah! You're in American Lit.! FST! World History and International Relations! Those are all AP classes! Spanish, French! Theatre Arts! You're insane!" Tucker cried, looking over her schedule. She rolled her eyes, "I would've been in AP Biology, but I needed to get your teachers to believe that I could handle it, I should only be in here for the first week." Tucker was still flabbergasted. "See ya later, gotta get to American Lit. Bye!" Nicole said, running towards the American Lit. "We all have the same lunch..." Danny shrugged.

"You wanna know something else! I found her trying to mess with the ghost portal! I swear that she's up to something" Danny whispered. "Danny, you've repeated that fact so many times, I lost count" Sam whispered back. "She's in all the AP classes!" Tucker murmured. Danny and Sam rolled their eyes and got back to work.


Lunch Time

"Hey! Nicki! Come sit here!" Called a popular bunch of seniors. She looked over at them and shook her head, "Sorry! Other plans!" She started over towards where Danny, Sam, and Tucker were sitting. "So, have fun in all your AP classes?" Sam asked. "It's so boring! I'm going to be so far behind when I get back to my private tutor." She said, looking at the strange cafeteria food. "Don't worry about the food, it's weird, but harmless...so I think..." Danny said, glancing at the strangely colored meat. "Yeah...I'm passing" Sam and Nicole said at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. "Vegetarian, I wouldn't eat it if it looked good" Nicole said. Sam nodded, "Same here." They got into a long conversation about animal rights, and how gross meat was.

"So, Danny, this is the girl that you think is out to get you?" Tucker whispered to Danny. Danny was kinda confused to, but couldn't help doubting his own opinion.
