Remember: A father`s daughter
High school
"First day of high school!" Ember and Danny shouted as they burst into Aria's bedroom; Aria jump out of bed and back away slightly, she held her chest and felt her heart beating out of her chest.
"What the heck?!" Aria shouted moving her hand down, "Mom! Dad!"
"It's your first day in high school! Aren't you excited?" Ember asked sitting down on the bed
"Not really" Aria mumbled looking away, "I hate school….. people are always kissing ass"
"We know how you feel," Danny said remembering their time in Casper high in both the past and present.
"You'll do fine, dear" Ember said sitting up
"You guys were together!" Aria whined and got up, "I'm going in alone!"
"Aria, you'll do fine alright," Danny said smiling at her, "The first day is always the hardest, and it will be harder for you but we know you can handle it"
"Your father is right! Sometimes….." Ember mumbled glaring at him, "You'll do fine! And if anyone tries to be mean to you….. you just show them, who's boss"
"Now! Get ready" Danny said walking out
"And your breakfast is getting cold," Ember said following Danny
"Ugh….." Aria whined, she sighed and walked towards her closet and tried to pick something to wear. Ember smiled and held Danny's hand as they walked to the kitchen, she kissed his cheek and hug him slightly.
"High school….." Danny mumbled and couldn't believe his little girl was entering high school, "Can you believe it, Ember!"
"It seems... It was only yesterday she was learning to walk" Ember said remembering the fond memory, "And after that! She phased through the floor"
"And you started to panic because she ended up in the basement," Danny said laughing slightly
"Hey! How many parents have a child, who just phases through the floor?!" Ember asked crossing her arms.
"How many women are married to a ghost?" Danny asked smirking at her, "And slept with…"
"Shush!" Ember quickly covered his mouth and blushed slightly, she smiled at him when she saw Aria walking towards them. "Shut up!" Ember whispered moving her hand from his mouth and smiling at Aria.
"Eat and head to school," Ember said sitting down
"Why Casper high?" Aria asked poking her eggs with her knife, "Why to can't I go to some private school or something? I wouldn't feel so….. out of place….. don't private schools are rich people, and like kids from important people?"
"First of all, we want you to have a normal life regardless of who your parents are, and the abilities you possess. And second, you hate rich people because of their snobs, and you hate uniforms" Ember said glancing at Danny, who nodded in agreement while he drank his coffee.
"But why Casper….. people are so crazy," Aria said remembering the countless of stories her parents would tell her, about their school days.
"But that where we met," Danny said holding Ember's hand, "Well… the second time, the first time I was busy saving your mother butt"
"Shut it, Dipstick!" Ember said hitting his chest, "Now go! And come home right away! Your grandparents are coming"
"Alright," Aria said putting her dishes away, "Can you please tell, Grandpa Jack no to bear hug me? I hardly made it alive last time"
"I'll try," Danny said laughing softly
"At least my father doesn't try to crush our daughter, dear" Ember said smirking at him; Danny rolled his eyes and simply finished his coffee.
"Go before your late," Danny said
"Bye," Aria said waving at her parents.
Casper High - 9 am
"Maybe I should use a transformation again…." Aria mumbled walking towards the school, "I'm going to get mobbed….. and people won't leave me alone….."
"OH MY GOSH ITS ARIA!" Aria looked back and saw a large group of students, she groans and was quickly surrounded by them.
"What are you doing here?!" someone shouted
"Isn't it obvious?! She going to school here!" a girl shouted taking a photo with her phone.
"Hey! Aria! Is your mom planning another tour?!" a group of girls shouted
"Uh…. Not at the mean time" Aria said pushing a few people away, "Could you all….. just step back slightly"
"I love what you're wearing!" another girl shouted
"Ugh! Mom told me not to use my powers until we've met with Clockwork….. but…." Aria closed her eyes and went invisible, she quickly went through the large group of students and ran inside of the school.
"I can't take this... And it has been five minutes of high school" Aria said glancing at the Clockwork
"Aria Fenton, right?" Aria sighed and looked up, she saw a light tan girl with brown hair, she had her arms crossed and wore very nice clothing; Aria could easily tell she was an A-lister. She immediately recognises her 'friends' status, the gossiper, the girl who agrees on everything, the one who always took the wrath of the leader, and the boy toy. Not mentioning the two others, who simply does whatever the leader told them, "Vivan Price! And these are my bitches"
"Price?" Aria mumbled thinking back to her Alexander Price
"Are they related?" Aria raised a brow slightly and wondered if Price was a popular last name.
"My grandfather was Alexander Price! The one who signed your mother!" Vivian said smiling and checking her nails.
"Yay…." Aria mumbled looking away
"Your dad is SO hot!" one of Vivian's minions shouted
"Ew….. my dad is almost forty," Aria said with a disgusted expression
"A hot forty!" the same girl said taking out a magazine with Danny on the cover, "Man! If he wasn't married!"
"Ew!" Aria shouted and wanted to gag at the idea, and was reminded of Glitter.
"Back away! You vultures!" Aria turned her head slightly and saw a tomboy teen. Her black hair was in a ponytail with her bangs on the side, she wore a baseball hat backwards with a leather jacket, along with black jeans and simple runners.
"What the hell do you want?" Vivian asked glaring at her
"Just back off," she said walking towards them, "Just because you're a year older than us! Doesn't mean you can boss us around"
"You're freshmen! Who cares!" Vivian said glaring at this tomboy
"Just fuck off!" she shouted and took Aria's hand, "Come on!"
"Hey!" Vivian shouted
"Run!" the strange girl shouted.
"What?!" Aria said before running right behind this teenage girl. Aria followed the strange teen to the school's library; Aria slows down and looked back and didn't see Vivian or her minions.
"The library is like holy water to them," the strange teen said smiling at her, "You're safe here"
"Uh…. Thanks?" Aria mumbled backing away slightly
"Oh! I guess you don't know my name" she said laughing slightly, "Claire Rivers! Nice to meet you!"
"Oh…. I'm-!"
"Aria Fenton or Phantom" Claire interrupted and took a random book, "I know"
"Right…." She mumbled
"I'm starting the ninth grade like you," Claire said crossing her arm, "And I already know what your thinking! You think I'm being nice to you because of your parents, right?"
"Uh…. Kind of?" Aria admitted
"Trust me... With my family's reputation... I want nothing to do with fame or money" Claire said walking towards the library door.
"What are you talking about?" she asked
"Hm…." Claire looked back slightly and didn't know how to explain her family situation, she knew The Lockwood family wasn't on good terms with the Fenton family. Especially with her aunt Glitter and her crazy actions, she sighed softly and looked away. "Doesn't matter….. how about we head to class?"
"Oh…. Sure" Aria smiled slightly and left the library with her.
Lunch time
"Why don't we sit here?" Claire asked while she held her tray
"Sure," Aria said sitting down in front of her while she place her tray down, "Those classes weren't so bad"
"I thought It was boring," Claire said poking her mystery meat, "I thought they didn't do mystery meat anymore? Will I die if I eat this?"
"I wouldn't…." Aria said drinking her soda
"Hey, Claire!" Atticus shouted while he waved at them, "The weirdo is in high school!"
"Shut up, Atticus!" Claire shouted throwing her apple at him
"Hey!" he laughs catching it before sitting down beside his cousin. He laughs slightly with Claire flipping him off, he shook his head and notice Aria sitting in front of him.
"It's her….." Atticus blushed slightly and cleared his throat, "I can't believe it... Why is she here?"
"Dick!" Claire said rolling her eyes, "Aria, this is my stupid cousin"
"Cousins? You're a Lockwood?" Aria asked in disbelief; she couldn't believe this tomboy was related to Glitter?!
"My mother is…." Claire said looking away slightly, "Sorry... For all of that shit my grandmother did"
"It's none of your faults, Claire," Aria said smiling at her
"Anyways... Yeah, Atticus" Claire said changing the subject
"We've met," Atticus said smiling at her
"Wha…." Claire smirk and notice Aria's blushing slightly, she quickly moved her gaze to her cousin, who's cheeks were red as well.
"Oh! MY! GOSH! They like each other!" Claire smiled and got an idea! She could obviously tell Aria and Atticus liked each other, but she had a feeling, the two were too stupid to admit their feelings to each other.
"It's nice to see you again, Atticus," Ember said smiling at him
"Likewise," he said and returned the smile she gave him
"I'm going to have so much fun" Claire mumbled softly watching them
"I didn't know…. You would come here, Atticus?" Aria said and looked down at her food, "Your part of the Lockwood family... You could go to any boarding school you want"
"So can you," he said and rubbed the back of his neck, "You can only mention your parent's name, and any boarding school would accept you"
"My parents want me to live a normal life" Aria explained and played with her apple slightly, "That's why I'm here"
"And I want to live a normal life," he said
"Good luck, cuz," Claire said with her head resting her on hand, "Your part of the main branch, Atticus! You're the only male heir in the entire family! And besides, we both know, your father would never let you leave the main branch"
"I'm very well aware of this, Claire," Atticus said sighing and crossing his arms, "That's why my father allowed me to live my teen years, as a normal teenager"
"Main branch?" Aria asked staring at the two cousins argue, "Aren't you just one family?"
"Uh…. It's more complicated than you think….." Atticus said and glanced at Claire.
