Chapter 2: First Kiss

I sat there the next day in school; Danny and Tucker were talking about the book we were supposed to be discussing, while I was lost in thought about...

"Sam? You ok over there?" Danny asked me, and I shook out of my thoughts and looked up at the two of them. Had they asked me a question?

"Yes, I'm fine. I was just thinking," I said, and turned to the group to try and help them with our work. Danny just gave me an odd look, but turned back down to his paper and continued to do his work. I looked down at my paper that was totally blank; it was odd for Danny to be doing more work than I was! Although, he had been trying really hard in school since his grades had began to drop.

"You know, you could help us a little since you have read this before," Tucker said, and I sighed. Why did I have to read it? True Where the Red Fern Grows was one of my favorites, but I didn't feel like thinking about that right now.

Those green eyes hung in my head, those dazzling green eyes... and that friendly smile, as though I have seen it somewhere else, but I couldn't quit place where I had seen it before.

"SAM! What has gotten into you?" Tucker yelled at me, I kept getting off track.

"Oh... nothing," I said, and turned back to my work. Geeze, couldn't I be quiet for a few minutes?

"Ok, we need the answer to how the dog died?" Danny asked me, and I shrugged. I wasn't in the mood to think right now, I was too worried on if he was going to show up at my house or not. If he did, what would I talk about? I would probably look like an idiot! Besides the fact that I had a crush on a ghost, who else could think that way? (A/N: None of the Paulina/DP stuff has happened in the past)

"Umm, I dunno. I think that he got attacked by some animal in the woods."

"You're sure you're ok?" Danny asked me, and I nodded. He sure seemed worried about me...

"You aren't acting normal," Danny said, and put his pencil down for a second, but I kept from having eye contact with him. I knew he was just being a good friend, but he could at least just let it go. I could, and would change sometimes, it wasn't unusual.

"Yea, I just... I dunno. I'm tired," I told him making up the quickest excuse possible. He gave me an odd look, he wasn't about to believe that. If I was so tired I wouldn't have been day dreaming every two seconds.

"Ok, whatever," He said, and wrote down the unsure answer I had given to him. Tucker was trying to do his work while Danny worried about me, but he was stuck on the last few questions they were expecting from me.

"Ok, another question… what was the red fern?"

"Did you even bother to read it?" I asked him.

"Maybe…"

"Maybe you should read it you idiot. The fern was there to represent the friendship between the two dogs. It grew over the top of their graves," I sighed. Why in the world did he have to rely on me for everything? Danny had actually read it, amazingly.

"You know you can take it home for homework," I told them, and Danny shook his head.

"I'm trying to not have homework; I have some things I have to do tonight."

"Oh? Like what?" Tucker asked him, and he just shrugged.

"I just have things to do. And I would like to finish everything off anyway, I hate homework."

I sat there and watched them argue for a while, and I finished up my work in the meantime. After I was finished, I handed my paper over to Danny. I would to him; he was at least trying unlike the effortless Tucker. He copied down my answers and we both walked up to hand our papers in.

"You're sure you're all right?" Danny asked me on our walk home, and I looked over at him, "yea."

"You're positive? You're sure you don't wanna come over tonight or something?"

"Umm, no, I am kinda busy," I told him, I didn't want to miss a chance to be able to meet up with the other Danny. Odd that the only two crushes in my life both had the name Danny…

"Oh?"

"I thought you were busy too?" I asked him, I didn't want to have to explain, I would rather have him do it since he obviously had a reason.

"Umm, no, not really. Just said that," he smiled shyly, it was as though we were two people that each had a crush on each other and we were both afraid we would say the wrong thing to each other. Yes, I was surprised I had a crush on two different people; I would have never expected it due to the fact that I only had two friends, although both were guys. But Tucker? Eww….

"Well, I am kinda expecting someone, maybe, to come to my house," I told him, and he nodded.

"All right… Who?"

"You wouldn't know him…"

"Ahh… all right. I will see you tomorrow then?"

"Weekend," I told him, but he shook his head, "Yeah, but that doesn't mean we couldn't get together, ya know."

"True… I will call you tomorrow and see what I can do," I smiled at him and waved as he began to walk up the steps to his house. I continued down the road to my house, and couldn't wait to see if Danny would actually show up. Although… he was probably really busy, so I wasn't expecting him too…

The whole time I was home I just kept my radio blaring and laid on my bed, I was probably wanting too much, maybe I should have just had Danny come over. The time was going by so slowly; he would have made it a lot better than it was right now.

"Sam! Dinner!" My mom called, wow, it was that late? I sighed and turned my stereo off. He wasn't going to show up, what was I thinking?

"What's wrong?" She asked me as I reached the bottom of the stairs with a saddened expression.

"Nothing," I said, and walked over to where a salad and a whole bunch of fruits were sitting in my place. I just picked at it though for a while, I never was much of an eater and right now I didn't feel like doing anything. I wanted to run back upstairs and wait for him again! What if he came when I was sitting here eating? I would miss him!

"I'm all done," I said, and walked out of the room. I ran back up the stairs and entered my room again, closing the door behind me.

Maybe he was busy tonight? After all he had other things to worry about other than me. He was a hero not only to me, but probably to a lot of people, although I knew a good majority of the town didn't like him either.

"Hey," I heard someone say and I jerked my head up and saw him standing in front of my door. I ran up to him, he really did come!

"You came!" I said excitedly, and he nodded.

"Yea, I had the time for it. But we can't stay here, all right?"

"Ok," I said, and he lifted me up off the ground, and we soon disappeared from sight. He was a fast flyer, and he took us far from town and out back to a woods a few miles out of Amity. This was on place most people never came too, they usually were all lazy now and would prefer to stay at home then to go on a long hike all the way back out to where Danny had just taken me.

"It's so pretty back here, I have only been back here one time before with my friend, Danny."

"Oh? Another Danny huh?"

"Yes. He is a sweetie. You kinda remind me of him."

"Thanks… I guess," He said, he sounded like he was nervous or something, maybe he liked me too? I couldn't tell, maybe ghosts couldn't fall in love, although I doubted that.

"I thought you couldn't come? What made you change your mind?" I asked him as we were beginning to head towards the ground.

"Like I told you before, I had time."

"Oh, ok." I said, and waited for us to reach the ground before I went on with more of my ridiculous questions. I had to know things though, besides, that was the whole reason why we were meeting each other.

Once we landed, he took me out underneath of this big tree that was laying out in the middle of a field. It was pretty there, especially when the sun was setting, it cast a purple shade across the whole field.

"It's pretty out here. You come out here often?" I asked him and he shook his head, "No, I don't. Just when I need to get away from things."

"Where do you live?"
"In the ghost zone."

"Oh… that has to suck. And you're the only nice one in there?"

"As far as I know."

"You had a life before this?"

"Yes."

"You ever been in love with anyone?"

"Of course, why do you ask?" He asked me and turned to give me an awkward look. Those perfect green eyes, I just couldn't get enough of them!

"Because… you ever had a girlfriend?"

"Nope, and I dunno if I ever will."

"Well, now that you're a ghost, you don't have many choices, huh?"

"No, not really. You getting at something?"

"Umm… no, not really," I blushed and faced away from him. Of course, I was getting at him going out with me, but how odd would that be? Really odd… maybe to other people, but not to me. He seemed like a normal human. In fact, he seemed pretty much like Danny. He had all the same features as Danny, in both appearance and the way he acted. He was shy, and cute, just like Danny!

"You're sure about that?" He asked me, he had obviously seen me blushing.

"Yea… do you WANT a girlfriend? Sorry… kinda personal."

"Maybe… but let's talk about you. You want a boyfriend?" He asked raising an eyebrow. The answer was obvious, YEA! YOU! OR DANNY! But I wasn't gonna say that…

"Yea, maybe Danny, but that would be all," I said thinking, great, I just let my secret out! SMART Sam, real smart…

"That's cool. I don't really know much people, so I dunno," he said, and continued to stare off into the sky, the first stars were coming out and the sun was almost all the way gone. How romantic to sit out here with him, yet I was way too nervous and shy to ever say anything much to him. This whole conversation was kinda dull, and I kinda wanted to do something a little more interesting.

"Maybe you should try to know more people. You can go pretty much anywhere you want!"

"Yea, but I am a ghost… doesn't work out so well that way ya know. Not very much people like me."

"True… but I like ya," I smiled at him and he returned it. It was as though we were a couple almost actually, it was kind of odd, the only other person I had sat down like this with before was Danny. I felt so close to him, I almost wanted to just wrap my arms around him and squeeze him as tightly as possible, but I didn't.

"You're pretty cool too," he said, and it was kind of an odd moment of silence. We had nothing much to talk about; I didn't know what to say. HOLD ME! That's what I should have said so I could be in his arms like I longed for every day.

"Odd silence," he said breaking the silence.

"Yea, it was. Umm… you wanna do anything?"

"I dunno, is there really anything to do?" He asked me, and I smiled.

"You think we could umm… fly?"

"Yea, sure," He laughed and stood up. He was even Danny's height, what an odd coincidence. And how hot he was… He put his arms around me and we headed off into the air. It was a fresh cool night, there were no clouds and the stars were shining brightly above us. I leaned my head up against his shoulder; I guess it was my way to sneakily cuddle with him. Although, he noticed because he looked down at me and smiled. I didn't mind though it was already done with and it was so nice to be able to lean against him, I didn't know how people couldn't like him, although I guess no one got to be this close to him or get to know him this well.

"How late are you planning on staying out?" He asked me.

"It doesn't matter to me, the longer I can stay away from home, the better."

"All right, then I can take you to one of my favorite places," he said and changed his direction to head left of where we were. How ever far he was taking me away from home, I didn't care. Most people might panic, especially when it is a ghost and they don't really know who they are. I might not have known him that well, but I trusted him almost more than anyone else, anyone else but Danny that is…

We came up to a stream with water slowing down it slowly and the water sparkling under the moonlight. There was a few trees surrounding it, and a little lake that the water poured into was connected at the end. Danny landed down under a tree near the running water, but it was just loud enough to make the area more pretty.

"This place is gorgeous! You must travel around a lot huh? And no one to take with you to places."

"Yea, pretty much. But I guess I can take you now, huh?"

"Of course! I would love to!"

"Yea, but just… I dunno how often we are going to be able to see each other," he said, he almost looked sad, but I think he was trying to avoid falling to much into me, there was no telling what would happen to him, or where he would go. He wouldn't ever be there for me, and we might hardly be able to see each other, but I thought it was all worth it to be able to look into those green eyes and know they were mine. But they weren't yet; I just needed to build up the courage to ask him out, like that was ever going to happen…

"Hey, you ever think we could you know, go out with each other?" I asked him, I didn't know how it happened, or where it came from, it just came out of my mouth. I felt dumb for asking something like that, but he just smiled and put his arm around my shoulder bringing me up against him.

"It's up to you… if you think you want to."

I stood frozen for a second unable to say anything else. Was he really going to let me go out with him? It was a miracle!

"Of course I do," I said, trying to keep myself calm from just leaping up and jumping up and down.

"Just remember… You can't tell anyone, Ok? And you can't be certain I will always be there for you," he smiled, and I nodded.

"Yea, I know. So, we're going out?"

"Yea."

YAY! It was a miracle! Wow… my first boyfriend was a ghost! It was odd, but cool. No one else could say something like that! Of course, most people wouldn't have been too proud about it either, but despite the fact that I didn't know him too much, I was in love with him. I didn't know why, I guess it was just because he was my hero. Anyone who would be able to go out with their hero would have to be happy about it! Well… I guess it depended on who your hero was, but in this case a HOTT teenage ghost with the dreamiest eyes and odd ways, it was the perfect boyfriend!

I didn't know what to say to him now, it was breath taking, and I was afraid if I said something dumb it would ruin everything.

"Maybe I should get you home," he said, and I looked down at my watch, it was 2:15 in the morning! How did the time go by that fast? It was impossible! I guess though… if you had one day to spend with him it would be gone in what seemed like five minutes.

"All right," I agreed and felt myself get lifted up off the ground, he was holding me so perfectly I almost fell asleep in his arms on the way back to my house. It took us 30 minutes to get back to my house, no wonder where the time had went, we had been flying for longer than I thought we had. Once we reached my room he placed me down on my bed, and through the blankets over the top of me. How sweet of him. I could feel my eyes get so heavy, but I had to wait until he was gone before I went to bed, I had to watch him every second I was with him.

"Night," he said, and leaned down to kiss me. I accepted it, and it wasn't really a good night kiss, to me it was my first kiss and it lasted until the both of us ran out of breath. I smiled at him, and he waved to me on his way out the door.

"Sam? Where have you been?" My mom asked as she opened up the door. At least he had gotten out of there in time or he would have been caught.

"Umm, I was out with Danny," I told her and she just shook her head.

"You need to tell me when you go out."

"All right, I will next time. It was just unexpected," I told her, and she left the room. I sighed a dreamy sigh. How was it that I happened to get the guy of my dreams so easily? Maybe it was just a shot of luck, or things were just too good to be true….

Hey dudes! Did it rock? I thought it was pretty good, but could have used more description. Lol, reviewing my own story. But anyway, please review!
