Danny met up with Sam and Tucker a few minutes before school started. He changed back into human form and slowly approached the doors. His nervousness was evident. His hand was clearly shaking as he reached for the handle.
"What are you so nervous about, Danny? You're a hero to these people." Sam said to him.
"Well what about Dash, or Mr. Lancer, and what about Valerie! I may not make it through the week!" Danny shouted back.
Danny, Sam, and Tucker moved inside slowly. The eyes of just about everyone in the hallway fell upon the group. Dash, Casper High's star quarterback and resident bully, came charging down the hall. With one swift tackle he had Danny up against a locker.
"Hey Fenton, have a good summer?" he asked mockingly.
"It's been interesting, Dash. Especially the past few days." he said back, his eyes now glaring into Dash's.
Right about that moment, Paulina walked into school. However, instead of being swarmed by a flock of horny teenage boys, she saw a herd of kids in a circle around Dash and Danny.
"What do you think you're doing, Dash? Trying to get your ass kicked?" she yelled at him.
Dash gave her a very blank stare.
"Uh…Paulina, this is Fenton we're talking about here. You know…Fentonio, Fenturd…the guy I shove into lockers. Remember?" He said, clearly confused.
"Don't you watch the news or read the newspapers?"
Dash continued staring at her.
"He's Danny Phantom!"
Dash looked back to Danny slowly. Danny got a big grin on his face, as he flashed his eyes from light blue to neon green. Dash dropped him and backed away slowly, eventually tripping over his own feet and crashing into the lockers on the other side of the hall.
Danny walked over to him, and stared down menacingly. "Hey Dash, aren't you glad I'm one of the good guys?" heasked slyly.
As Danny walked off to his locker a group of people, mostly girls, formed around him. Some were flirting, others were trying to grab his hand or hair, a few were going for his clothes, and one blonde girl just poked him a lot. The guys were there just to try and make a move on the girls he turned down.
Paulina stomped after him angrily. When she reached the crowd, she tore through it like the people were tissue paper. "He's not interested!" she shouted at them, and they scattered like mice, with the exception of the blonde girl who had been jabbing him in the ribs. She muttered something about not being done as she slowly walked away.
"You're right." Danny said, looking right at Paulina, "I'm not interested." He then walked off to find Sam, who he had lost sight of after being attacked by his newest fans.
A familiar voice came over the PA system soon after. "The entire student body is to come to the assembly hall now, please."
When Danny had found Sam, they headed off towards the assembly hall together, Sam's arm was draped around his shoulder as she congratulated him for a rejection done well. Danny also had his arm around Sam's waist, just because he knew it would piss Paulina off even more.
Before Danny managed to sit down, Mr. Lancer called him up on the stage. "Alright everyone, settle down, we have an assemble to get through, and its not a long one. I want to get out of here quickly, just like you."
After drawling on about some changes to the schedule, new school policies, and all of the other topics that would put most people to sleep, he turned to face Danny.
"Now there's the matter of what to do with you, Mr. Fenton. After your recent exposure as Danny Phantom, we have made some interesting decisions, I will brief you on those later, but I wanted to get you up here so that everyoneknew of your claim to fame incase they didn't already hearabout it." Mr. Lancer said as he stood next to Danny. Mr. Lancer, apparently, felt the need to poke him as well, as if he doubted Danny's solidness.
"Alright, Mr. Lancer…um, could you stop poking me?"
"Oh, sorry. Well, I guess this explains your absences and slipping grades last year. Does it also explain the absences of those two as well?" he asked, pointing, of course, to Sam and Tucker.
"Yeah, they actually help a lot."
"Oh, so I'm going to have to allow for the absences of you and your little Goth girlfriend too?" He asked back, now ignoring Tucker.
"Yeah, pretty much." Danny answered, not really aware of what he was saying.
"Very well, I suppose I really can't argue with your results. You and Miss Manson now have special open campus privileges."
"Hey, what about me!" Tucker yelled from the crowd. Mr. Lancer, however, ignored him once again.
