I'm back again! I don't know why I put all these notes in before a chapter, it's just a habit. Ok, so, back to the chapter. Hope you enjoy it! This is where Danny Phantom enters Casper High for the first time. Note: he hasn't spoken to Tucker or Sam because Maddie said that Danny was busy. So, Tucker and Sam know NOTHING!

Disclaimer: I, Kirstyn.T, do not own Danny Phantom, the TV show or anything else…

Living A Lie

Chapter 3 – I'm Not Like Them.

I got to the front doors of the school and brought the blue rings up. I then remembered that I was a ghost, going to school and that Danny Fenton had been expelled. I took the rings away before anything happened and went invisible.

I flew down the halls, unseen by the human eye. I flew through the door to the office and sat down on a chair in the waiting room. Principal Ishyama must've heard me because she came out of her small office.

"Hello, Danny Phantom." she said.

"Uh, hi, I didn't want to come but, they said I have to so… what do you want me to do?" I asked, acting the part.

"Well, here is a schedule, and I would like it if you don't cause any damage or beat up others, we just got rid of a kid who did that." Principal Ishyama said as she hand me a sheet of paper.

"Yep, I'll try." I said after the bell rang.

"Well, you better get to English with Mr Lancer; you wouldn't want to be late." Principal Ishyama told me.

"Alright then." I headed out of the door to find the hallway completely empty.

I looked at the sheet of paper and it said what locker was mine. I noticed that it was my old locker and sighed, at least I had nothing new to remember. I placed the books I didn't need into the locker and grabbed my English books. I was glad that I wasn't too late, only a minute into the lesson.

I flew to the English room and landed on the ground when I got to the door. I looked inside and saw that Sam and Tucker were sitting together with an empty seat next to them. I smiled and opened the door slowly.

Mr Lancer turned to face me and smiled. "Ah, class, we have a new student today. His name is Mr Phantom, the ghost. Mr Phantom, would you like to tell us a little about yourself?"

"No." I said.

Sam and Tucker looked really surprised. They smiled when they realised my plan, to go to school as Danny Phantom so I could still hang around them and all. Mr Lancer seemed upset that I was so secretive but I didn't care.

"Well, please take a seat next to Mr Foley, the second row on the left." instructed Lancer.

I sighed and took the empty seat. I felt something hit my head and looked down to see a paper ball. I opened it up and read it. I smiled and sent a message back to Tucker, telling him to tell Sam that I told my parents.

"Now class, today we are going to read 'To Kill A Mockingbird.'" Mr Lancer said. "Class, Mr Phantom shall read first."

I wasn't really listening so I fell through the floor, by accident. I found myself in a meat room and flew through the roof, rubbing my head with one hand. I sat back in the chair and noticed that everyone was looking at me.

"Hey bro!" I heard a voice coming from my desk and saw Dani with her head poking out.

"Oh, hey Dani. What are ya doing here? I thought you went shopping." I asked.

"Yes, but I like this. Anyway, I'm MEANT to be in a change room. Who knew ghost powers could be so cool? I mean, I'm glad I'm not melting, crazy fruit loop made me almost melt once, and I don't want it to happen again. I mean, he is not the BOSS OF ME!" she yelled.

"Settle, we all know he is a fruit loop but…"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A FRUITLOOP?" asked Plasmius.

"Wow, spying on me again, this time not through Valerie." I said after figuring out that he had been using Valerie to spy on me.

"Oh, so your tiny mind has figured out what I planned on doing? Hello, Danielle, my daughter." Vlad said.

"I AM NOT YOUR DAUGHTER! NOT ANYMORE!" yelled Dani, glaring at the loopy man.

"Oh, really?" asked Vlad.

"Leave her alone Vlad." I warned him.

"Oh, why don't you make me?" Vlad asked.

I jumped out of my seat and flew up to Vlad so that his face was close to mine. He looked into my eyes and I looked into his.

"I will say it once more before I attack, LEAVE HER ALONE!" I yelled.

"No." Vlad replied stubbornly.

I sent a ghost ray at Vlad which hit him on the chest. He crashed into a wall but left no marks. He opened his eyes and jumped into the air. He tried to trip me by pulling my legs out from beneath me but I just did a back flip and landed on the ground.

Dani came to my side and we both took on a fighting position. Her hands glowed green and Vlad pointed to her shoes. She screamed and I looked down, to see that they were melting.

She let the ball of energy in her hands to die down and her shoes stopped melting. I kicked Vlad and he punched me in the shoulder. I threw a ball of energy at him and he couldn't dodge it in time.

Vlad looked pretty weak to me so I sucked him into the Fenton Thermos and put on the cap. I looked to see that Dani was fine and was sitting on my desk, talking to Sam and Tucker when no one was looking.

I returned to my seat and told Dani that she had to leave. She obeyed and went back to shopping. Mr Lancer continued for another ten minutes when the bell went. I got up and headed for my next class.

It was lunchtime and I had forgotten my lunch money. I saw a table with no one on it and sat there, waiting to see if anyone dare approach me. Sadly, someone did, and it wasn't who I wanted to see.

"Hey, Danny Phantom." greeted Dash.

"Hi." I mumbled.

"So, what's it like being a ghost?" Dash asked, trying to make conversation.

"Just like being a kid with extra powers." I told him.

"Can we sit here?" Dash asked.

I looked behind him and saw Paulina and Kwan. I was surprised not to see Star; obviously she was sitting with Valerie. I didn't know what to say, I didn't want ANY of them sitting with me.

Suddenly, Dash, Kwan and Paulina got pushed to the ground and Valerie stepped through the crowd with Star in tow. Sam and Tucker stood near Valerie and Star.

"What are YOU doing here, Phantom?" asked Valerie who hadn't been in any of my morning classes.

"I didn't choose to go here, Valerie, I got forced. If I had a choice, I wouldn't be here." I told her.

"Can we sit here?" asked Star.

I sighed and nodded my head. I moved over and Sam and Tucker sat next to me. Valerie and Star sat across from me.

"What are you planning?" asked Valerie, looking into my eyes.

"Hey Danny!" I hear my name again and saw Dani sitting on the table, drinking a soda and holding a tray of food.

"Oh, hey." I sighed and grabbed a fry off the tray.

"HEY! THAT'S MINE! Nah, I'm kidding, you can eat it." Dani joked around.

"Who is she? Your girlfriend?" Star asked.

Dani and I started cracking up. Everyone turned their attention to us two ghosts, laughing our heads off. People didn't take their eyes off us as we wiped tears from our green eyes.

I sighed. "She's my… what are you?"

"Um, well, when I first met you I pretended I was your third cousin once removed, then at Vlad's I was your clone and Vlad's daughter and now that I live with you, I'm your sister." Dani told me.

"Wow." Star said.

It took a little while for Valerie to realise what that meant. As soon as she had it, she looked at us.

"There are TWO of you?" Valerie asked.

"Yep." Said Dani. "Partly because of you."

Valerie was about to say something when Dani was hit by something. She fell off the table and I looked up to where the thing had come from. There I saw Skulker, who had previously been working for Vlad.

"What do you want THIS time?" I asked Skulker.

"My boss told me to destroy her." Skulker said as he pointed to Dani.

"Vlad can communicate to you while he is in the thermos?" I asked, in total shock.

Skulker nodded and Dani got up. She started to scream and everyone looked at her. Her legs started melting. I flew over to her and held her. I could feel her melting and tried to do ANYTHING to stop it. I put most of my energy into her and soon, her legs grew back.

She looked at me and I half smiled, then I collapsed.

Dani

Danny fell into my arms. He was weak because he had stopped me from melting. The only thing I could do in return was make sure no one learned who Danny Phantom really was. I took a risk and overshadowed Danny, keeping him from collapsing. Since I had his DNA in me, I could overshadow him which was good.

Everyone's eyes were on me, they had obviously seen me fly into my older brother. I flew out straight away and sighed when I realised I wasn't melting. The risk was worth it to see Danny wake up; totally shocked that he was still in his ghost mode.

Danny

I woke up to see everyone's eyes were on me, including my sisters. I looked down to see that I was still in my ghost form, blinked, then looked to Dani who crossed her arms and smiled.

She held a hand out to me and I took it and got up off the ground. She handed me a burger and I took it. I remembered that Skulker was still here and looked around for him.

I saw him standing in front of our new lunch lady. I rolled my eyes, took a bite out of my burger, swallowed, placed it down onto my tray and flew over to Skulker. Dani flew behind me at the same pace.

We both punched Skulker in the back of his new and improved suit at the same time. He flew into one of the dishes, sending bits flying everywhere. Soon, a girl in a red suit joined us. She helped me suck Skulker into the Fenton Thermos.

When he was safe inside, I turned to her. "Why did you help us?" I asked.

"I have started to think you are not that bad after all." She said and took off to change into her normal clothes.

I looked at Dani who smiled and me. I looked at my watch and saw that we had ten minutes of lunch left. I grabbed my burger that I had taken a bite off and flew out of the building.

A few seconds later, Dani joined me. I had finished my burger and so had she.

"Wanna race?" I asked Dani.

"You're on."

Seemed like a good place to end it so, I did. So, did you like it? I always ask that! Anyway, have fun, Read and Review

Love Kirst…
