Benjamin Masters
Chapter Five
Tucker Foley
"This is the first time I've gotten to talk to you in daylight in forevers." Ben said to Stacy as they walked to lunch.
Ben stuck his face in front of Stacy's,
"You're not looking to good, what's the matter?" Ben asked squinting.
"What! ...Jerk." Stacy answered.
"You should have seen your face!" Ben said laughing.
Stacy glared at him, but didn't say anything.
"So why is Sam not around?" Ben asked.
"She said she didn't feel like eating."
"Oh..." Ben said quietly.
"It's not you're fault this time, she's having a visitor later, I'm not sure exactly when it's coming though." Stacy said laughing.
"That reminds me, how did Sam do? Did you get enough sleep?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, she was quiet. Tears or not, I think that flower made her happy. Pissed off at you for not being around, but happy."
Ben sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
"So what was in the package you got from your sister?" Stacy asked.
"How did you know about that?" Ben asked startled.
"I picked it up for you when you were off on your walk and I saw the return address." Stacy answered.
Ben sighed, took off his necklace, and handed it to her.
Stacy looked at it. She had never seen Danny Phantom, but she still realized what it was after a few seconds. She started laughing so hard she fell down.
"It's not funny." Ben said helping her back up to her feet.
"You do realize, you're going to get your butt kicked at least five times on your quest to pull yourself out of the massive hole you dug for yourself when Sam showed up here, right?" Stacy asked still laughing.
"I know..." Ben sighed.
"You scared?" Stacy asked giving Ben the necklace back.
"Yeah. She's going to hate me, and I'm not sure if I could live with myself after that." Ben answered putting it back on.
"It'll turn out ok, Benny, but for now, let's get some chow, I'm hungry!" Stacy said before starting to jog to the cafeteria.
Ben sighed and followed her at his already set pace.
"So where's Derek?" Ben asked when they sat down at their table.
"I think he said he was going to stockpile his weapons while Friar Tuck wasn't on today..." Stacy said.
"He still hasn't beat him, huh?" Ben asked laughing.
"Nope, it really bothers him too, that's like, all he talks about." Stacy answered chuckling.
"So what do you do while he's on the computer?" Ben asked.
"Nothing much, homework." Stacy answered.
"You? Doing homework? Wow... you must get really bored..." Ben said.
"Yep, it's dull. He never lets me leave though. I'm done, wanna go to the dorm?" Stacy asked after she finished her food.
"Sure." Ben said getting up and putting away his stuff.
"So why is Derek want you to be around him all the time all the sudden?" Ben asked as they entered the dorm.
"I'm not sure. I think he's jealous of you."
"Well that's stupid."
"Yeah, I know." Stacy agreed.
"...Ok, when you say it, it just sounds insulting." Ben said.
"Me? Insult you? Never!" Stacy said laughing.
"You're still coming with me to Vlad's during break, right?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" Stacy answered.
"Good because I don't want to be the only one ther-: Ben started opening the door to Stacy and Sam's room.
Stacy looked at Ben. He had just stopped mid word and was standing there with his hand on the doorknob staring at something in the room.
"Wow... He got stopped midsentence, that hasn't happened in a while." Stacy said.
Then she looked to see what he was looking at.
Sitting on Sam's bed was an African American boy. He had green eyes with glasses and was wearing a white shirt with a blue stripe across the chest with a pair of khakis and black boots. On top of his head was a red beret, which contrasted greatly with the rest of his outfit.
"Hey, Sam, who's your friend?" Stacy asked.
"This is Tucker Foley." Sam answered before Tucker had a chance to use one of his stupid pickup lines that he hadn't given up on yet.
"Hey Tucker nice to meet ya!" Stacy said shaking his hand. By this time Ben had moved from the doorway and was sitting on Stacy's bed.
"Tucker this is my roommate Stacy Stevenson and Ben Masters." Sam said.
Ben looked at Tucker to acknowledge his presence then looked away.
"Have I met you somewhere else? You seem familiar." Tucker asked Ben.
Ben's hand automatically went up to his neck to make sure his necklace was hidden by his shirt.
"No, I don't think so." Ben answered after he was sure it was hidden.
"Huh..." Tucker said thinking.
"Wait a minute, you mean Masters, like in Vlad Masters?" Tucker asked randomly.
"Yeah... he's married to my mother." Ben grumbled angrily.
"Wow, I never thought he'd get married, he always seemed so obsessed with Maddie Fenton..." Tucker said.
Stacy looked at Ben. He was glaring at the floor and clenching his fists.
"Seriously, why'd your mom marry Vlad anyway?" Tucker asked.
"Tucker! Shut it!" Sam exclaimed.
"I was just asking." Tucker said.
"Well, it's rude as Hell to stick your nose in where it doesn't belong." Ben snapped.
Then Tucker and Ben glared at each other for a while.
'Why am I so mad at Tucker? He used to be my best friend.' Ben thought.
He sighed.
"This is pointless." He said looking away.
"Benjamin Masters needs to meet his father in the science lab." The intercom exclaimed.
"Why couldn't he just call my cell or something?" Ben grumbled.
"Cause he likes embarrassing you." Stacy answered.
"You're probably right. Later Stacy, later Sam." Ben said leaving.
"He's not normally that rude, he's just really sensitive about his parents." Stacy said to Tucker.
"He had a right to be rude." Sam said smacking Tucker on the back of the head.
"I've seen him before somewhere... for some reason he reminds me of-" Tucker started.
"Danny..." Sam finished sighing.
Meanwhile Ben had just gotten to the science lab.
"So what do you want?" He grumbled.
"It has come to my attention that your little friend Tucker might be transferring here." Vlad said smirking.
"Don't you have anything better to do then stick your face into things that aren't your business, Vlad?"
"That's going to make things a bit tougher for you isn't it, Son?" Vlad said ignoring Ben's statement.
"You called me all the way over here just to piss me off, didn't you?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, pretty much." Vlad answered smirking.
"All right then. I'm leaving." Ben said heading towards the door.
"Oh, and Maddie, your mother, and my loving wife, called. She wants to talk to you." Vlad said.
"I'll think about it." Ben said leaving the room slamming the door on the way.
"Hey, Ben, what did Vlad want?" Stacy asked him as he walked back into the room.
"Nothing." He muttered. He looked up and saw that Tucker was still there.
He sighed as he sat down on Stacy's bed and started to pull the stuffing out of her comforter.
"If you ruin my comforter, you're gonna be buying me a new one." Stacy said.
"Oh. ...Sorry." Ben said stopping, then rubbing the back of his neck.
He saw Tucker looking at him from out of the corner of his eye, he moved his head and raised his eyebrow at his old friend, and Tucker stopped looking.
"I'm going to call my mother, Vlad said she wanted to talk to me, later, Guys." Ben said leaving.
Ben lay down on his bed and got out his cell.
"Hello?" Maddie answered.
"Hey. Vlad said you wanted to talk?"
"I just wanted to see how you were doing this year."
"I'm good."
"How's Jazz?"
"I don't know, Mom, why don't you just ask her yourself?"
"I just...It's just that...Danny..." Maddie said trying to explain.
"It's just that you don't want to talk to Dad." Ben said before hanging up.
Then he threw his cell at the wall and shouted.
"Ugh. Sam, why don't you go talk to him?" Stacy asked groaning after Ben hit their wall with something.
"Why me?" Sam asked.
"Because Tucker left, and you'll make him feel better, promise." Stacy said.
"All right." Sam said starting towards the door.
"I'm going to bed, night." Stacy said as Sam walked out the door.
Sam opened Ben's door without knocking.
He was sitting on his Ben looking at something in his hand.
"Could my life get any worse?" He sighed.
"Leprechauns could take over the planet and make you look at old people feet all day." Sam joked from the doorway.
Ben went rigid when he heard Sam's voice. He clenched his hand around the necklace in his hand and quickly put it away in his pocket. Then he looked at his bed stand and saw that the picture of his family was still underneath his bed where he had stuffed it last time he looked at it. Finally he felt it safe to relax and turned to Sam.
"Hey, Sam, you need something?" He asked.
"No, but I think you do." Sam said walking over to him picking up his phone on the way.
"You want to talk about it?" She asked handing it to him.
"No." He answered taking his phone and putting it in his pocket while Sam sat down beside him
Sam looked at him. She saw the ring on his finger. The ring she knew she had seen somewhere before.
"I'm sorry, but... Where did you get that ring?" She asked him.
Ben looked at his ring.
"I don't remember." He answered.
"I gave Danny one that looked like that." Sam sighed.
"That's nice of you." Ben replied.
'Is she going to find out?' He thought.
"I engraved my name in it too, so he wouldn't forget me. I wonder if he even has it now..." Sam said.
"He wouldn't just lose it or throw it away." Ben said.
"Yeah, ...So you want to talk about what's bothering you yet, you'll feel better." Sam asked changing the subject.
"Vlad's just been really annoying lately." Ben answered.
"Things will get better." Sam said putting her hand on Ben's shoulder.
Ben put his hand over hers and looked at her. Then he snatched her up into a hug and held her.
After a few minutes, Ben realized what he was doing and released her, then blushed the reddest blush Sam had ever seen.
"It's all right." Sam said patting him on the shoulder.
"I'm going to sleep, you're going to be ok, right?" Sam asked standing up.
"Yeah. Goodnight, Sam." Ben said as she opened his door.
"I love you." He added quietly after she shut the door behind her.
Then he took off his gold ring and looked at the engraving on the inside.
"Sam..." He sighed.
Then he put his ring on, turned off his light, and lay down.
