Chapter 2
When Danny heard those words he got a big goofy smile on his face. Just at that time the bell rang. The new couple got up and walked into their English class together, holding hands. There were two empty seats, one next to Tucker and the other one next to the empty seat. Danny and Sam sat down without saying a word.
"How'd it go? Did she say yes? I bet she did. I knew it. I always knew you two would end up together some day." Tucker giggled.
"Tuck, I have to hand it to you. You were right. She does like me. She even said so." Danny whispered to Tucker so happy that he didn't know that Sam was telling them to be quiet.
"Mr. Fenton? Mr. Foley? May I ask this one question? Were you two listening to at least one word that I was saying!" screamed Mr. Lancer.
"Uh... no. sorry Mr. Lancer." They both said, looking ashamed.
"Well you two boys are lucky I don't give you detention. The only reason is that it is the last day of school and I have other things to do." Screamed Mr. Lancer, in reply.
Danny sunk down in his chair, because he made a fool of himself in front of his new girlfriend. He was so embarrassed because if the class heard what they were talking about then he would be dead. Dash would wail on him more and Paulina would say something like "I always knew you two geeks would end up together."
It was a very long day, but now it was lunch time and some how, Danny managed to survive. Danny was putting his books back in his locker when he heard a conversation going on between Valerie and Paulina.
"Oh my gosh! Paulina! Look at your locker. It is filled with pictures of the ghost boy. Don't you know he is pure evil?" squealed Valerie.
"Oh no, Inviso-Bill isn't evil. He saved my life a few times. He is so cute. I am just in LOVE with him." Sighed Paulina, with puppy dog eyes.
"Well even though I don't agree that he saved your life, he is kind of cute. But I don't care. He RUINED my life. So I am going to devote my life to tracking him down and killing him. But before I kill him I want to find out his real identity. He said something about being half human I think." Sneered Valerie.
Danny decided he'd better go off and find Sam and Tucker and sit down to eat his lunch. Today was the usual. A large burger or salad, a small fries and a medium coke. Of course, since Sam is an ultra recyclo-vegeterian, instead of the burger and fries, she eats the salad. As usual Sam and Tucker were sitting at the usual table, by them selves, already eating. Danny grabbed his lunch and joined them. Except this time instead of sitting next to tucker, he sat next to Sam.
"Hey guys, what's up?" mumbled Danny, chewing on a piece of burger.
"Hey Danny! Oh nothing much. What took you so long?" asked Sam, her face lighting up.
"Oh I was listening into the oddest conversation. It was between Valerie and Paulina. It was about me. Well not Danny Fenton, but Danny Phantom. Valerie said something about Paulina having all posters of me in her locker. Then Paulina said I was cute, the usual. Then the most unexpected words came out of Valerie's mouth. She said she thought I was kind of cuteā¦" muttered Danny, shocked.
But not as shocked as Sam, who dropped her fork with her cherry tomato on it. The fork landed with a loud ping! And everyone in the cafeteria stopped and looked at their table. Maybe it was because they thought there was about to be a fight. But Danny thought he knew why Sam dropped her fork. So he tried to set things straight.
"I don't know why she fights me if she thinks I'm cute. I mean I have a girlfriend so Paulina and Valerie need to get a life. Mainly Paulina. I'm over her. I can't believe I used to love her." Danny laughed.
"Don't worry Danny. Everyone used to love her. Even tucker, which is still normal but seriously, I can't tell what you saw in her." Sam tried to laugh it off, but deeply worried inside.
So the three of them continued eating in silence, for about three more minutes. Danny had finished his food and was drinking out of his drink carton when he suddenly became cold and this curved, blue fog came out of his mouth. It was his breath. That could only mean one thing. There was a ghost nearby.
"Uh oh. This cant be good. My ghost sense just went off. I better find a place to go ghost and save the school, yet again." Sighed Danny, tired.
"Good luck Danny. See you in science this afternoon." Yelled out tucker, as Danny was rushing off.
"You're scared he is going to run off with Paulina or Valerie aren't you Sam?" tucker whispered in her ear.
"Me? Worried? Nah. He is totally over them. I know that. He even said so himself." Spoke Sam, nervously. Because deep inside she was worried.
"Well if you are I have to say one thing. Danny loves you, not them. I know that because I am a male and I am his best friend. He tells me those sort of things." Tucker talked in a slow voice.
Meanwhile Danny had rushed into the Boy's Toilets and was about to go ghost when he heard a flush. Quickly Danny hid in one of the bathroom stalls and went ghost without shouting "Going Ghost!" it turns out the other person was Dash Baxters. His enemy from school. He must have seen the flash because he ran out of the bathroom, terrified.
Danny wasn't concentrating on that at the moment. He was thinking about Sam. Well he was also thinking about the ghost that had appeared at school. But the main thing on his mind was Sam. Because Danny loved Sam and spent nearly every minute thinking about her. He just couldn't stop thinking about her beautiful eyes and then he heard the sound of an ectoplasmic energy beam. Oh crud!
Danny felt the pressure on his chest. He could feel himself go crashing down. Luckily he turned intangible or he would have landed hard and heavy on the roof of the school. But when he had gotten through the roof he wasn't intangible anymore. Danny, at that moment then realised it. He was going to land on the floor and everyone would either run off or gather around him. He had to turn intangible again. But it was too late. Danny landed smack in the middle of the table Sam and tucker where sitting at. Everyone who was in the cafeteria began to gather around looking at him. Danny opened his eyes and saw people looking at him. He had to make sure he was still ghost. Danny looked down at his hand and was relieved to see there was still a white glove covering his skin. He began to get up when an object that was red, standing on a jet sled was pointing a gun directly at him.
"DON'T MOVE GHOST KID!" shouted the red figure, who Danny could tell instantly, was Valerie.
