As I promised, we are on Casper High after summer vacation. New student is coming up!
It was a normal good day for Danny Fenton. Summer are always the most greatest time in the year, the time for teenagers to have their vacations. As Danny Phantom, Ghost hunting is still on the road, but he could handle it well enough. And now after the end of summer, it's time for all students to continue their teaching-learning activities on school. Danny walked lazily in the alley of his school as he searched for his two best friend, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley. As he thought, Sam and Tucker are waiting for him on the side of his locker.
"Hi Danny." The goth girl started to greet him.
"Hey dude, how's your vacation?" The African American boy asked casually as he slipped a shiny PDA into his pocket when he saw him.
"Nothing special. Mom and Dad are gone for Summer Ghost Symposium, out from Amity Park of course." Danny rolled his eyes, "Luckily Jazz was at home, my dad almost make me stay at Vlad's mansion on my summer holydays."
"Yikes." Sam and Tucker replied flatly.
"That's the point." Danny chuckled as he opened his locker, pulling a slip of paper and some books out for Lancer's class. After he closed his locker, Danny spin around and lean on his back, waiting for their other question.
"So, how's the ghost hunting? I'm sorry we can't join you at that times." Tucker continue. Sam and Tucker are both busy with their own schedule, and all of their activities are taking it out from Amity Park. Tucker was gone to Comic Festival in another city and stay there during summer vacation. Sam spend her vacation in Hawaii because of her parents choise. She didn't look like that she's enjoying her summer vacation.
"Nah, not really a problem. I can take care it all with a lot of my free time though. But yesterday I have a fight with Vlad. He give me a nice slash mark on my back."
"What!?"
"So that's mean you have some plastered body-part now?"
"Yup, Jazz did nurse me. Duh, she's very hysteric when knew about my injury." Danny sighed dramatically when he remember his sister's reaction. "Sometimes she's just too overprotective like mom or dad. I can take care of myself, get injured a bit after fight is not a big problem."
"But Danny, you know the ghost who hurt you is him, are you sure he did not cut you into two-pieces?" Sam worried.
"Hey, Jazz did worried about you dude, maybe she miss Baby-Danny." Tucker chuckeled when he look at the photos of Baby-Danny that designed by Spectra in spirit week from his PDA. Danny spontanteously glaring at him.
"Oh come on man, just kidding!" Tucker started to laughed softly.
"Tucker, focus." Sam advised him. "By the way Danny, how is Vlad? What did he do after he slashed you?"
"I don't know, he's gone after that."
"What does it mean?" Tucker ask.
"Well maybe he just leave me?" Danny shrugged.
"Be careful Danny, he's probably planning something again." Sam warned him.
Predictably, Danny answer in frustration, "Of course he is Sam! How can a Fruitloop like him never plans something crazy?! I don't even remember the last time I have my free time without a new terror from him! He would do it all the time until I goes insane!"
"Or until you join him to become his 'son' to ruled the world." Tucker add flatly.
"Tuck, don't mention that, it's just 'eew'." Sam cringed when she replied him.
Tucker just give her a shrug. Suddenly the bell rings, signaling the class beginning. The trio let out a sigh of their sluggish as all students started to walk in their each class. Every student are too busy chatting to each other about their acivity at the end of the vacation. When everybody already sit in the class, Sam realized something.
"Hey, Tuck, Danny." Sam called the two of them who are sitting in front of her with a whisper. Both of the boys turned at her as she continue. "Look at the back side."
Danny and Tucker doing as she say. "What's the matter with A-list group?" Danny asked as he look at Dash, Kwan, Paulina and many other A-list student. Sam quickly respond, "No! not the A-list! Look more to the corner!"
All the trio take look at the corner of the class, both Danny and Tucker finally realized that there's a student that they never met before. He was sitting in silent, one of his hand was posted at his chin. He have a blue-marine eyes which is so gloomy. The boy is wearing a grey-blue jackets and some kind of tennis cap with black gloves and innards. It's kinda weird that he's wearing both hoodie and cap.
"Who's he?" Tucker started after a moment.
"I don't know. That's why I tell you guys. Do you think he's kinda like a new student?" Sam asked.
"Or maybe he's the ghost who masquerade as a human to work for Plasmius.." Danny said suspiciously.
"Who knew? It's kinda reasonable for 'mysterious guy'." Tucker agreed. Danny couldn't help but chuckled, "Probably."
Immediately, all the student become completely silent as Mr. Lancer enters the classroom and sit at the table in front of the class. "Good morning students. I hope you all are having a nice summer, because we will continue our teaching-learning activities again today." The class give the yawnful and weary respond, really not happy with the news.
"Now" Mr. Lancer continue, "Before we start, we have a new student here to be introduced. Mr. Jared, stand up and introduce yourself."
After the teacher said that, The 'mysterious guy' who sitting at the back corner of the class let down his hand from his chin and stand up. So he's a new student. Danny seem very glad isn't another Vlad's army to stalk him.
"Please introduce your name, hobby, and what you dislike perhaps?" Mr. Lancer remind him.
The new student started directly, "My name is Christopher Jared. 'Jared' is my family's name, so you shall call me with 'Christopher' one. My hobby is none of your business and I hate it if you bother me with your stupid jokes, that is all." Right after he's done, the new student sit back down again.
The class are silent.
"Mr. Jared, just try to be more nicer for the next time." Mr Lancer advised the new student even though he didn't reply. "Okay now, we would go back to study-session, everybody take out your math books!" The teacher announced the class's start.
As fast as that happened, every students in the classroom are now whispering to each other about the new student's attitude. Of course the trio are not lag to let out their reaction about the new boy too.
"Man! He didn't even say 'hello' in his speech!" Tucker said.
"I don't know why but I think he would have some problem with that attitude." Danny commented.
"The More he speeched, the more jerk he is." Sam whispered angrily.
"Patience, Sam. You wouldn't want to make a ruckus here, right?" Danny calmed his girl friend.
"Ouch!"
The trio could hear a little voice from behind. The three turned their head to saw the new student just got a shot of crumpled paper from Dash. Some A-list student just chuckled to saw that scene. Suddenly, the trio gasped when Criss quietly shot Dash back with the same crumpled paper. Almost all the student who watch that scene strained. Dash didn't say any word, both surprise and anger are on him.
"Great, I'm not sure Dash gonna chase him or me to eliminate his anger." Danny sighed in hopeless.
"Both, I think." Tucker still stared.
The bell of break time is finally ranging. All of the student come out from the class, but also waiting for something. The trio are on the walk on locker lane to canteen for their lunch when Criss is just come out from the class. Of course he's intercepted on his way. Something that everyone waiting is happening now.
"Hey new student! what does it mean?!" One of A-list student spat him.
"Don't you know that I am, Dash Baxter, is the Casper High's star quarterback!" Dash yelled at him. Luckily there's no teachers around.
"So what? Being a star quarterback do not mean you're the ruler of this world." Criss answered angrily. "Either way, you're the first one who throw that stupid paper, that was your own fault! Have I never mentioned that I hate—"
"You're just a new student! I'm gonna teach you how to be a student here!" Without any warning, Dash easily pick him up while he protest, then smashed him inside the random locker. Dash and All the A-list student laughed it out and walk away to canteen for lunch, leaving him alone inside the locked locker. Every student just walk away too, they don't want to miss the break time. Finally, only the trio left.
"Dude? Why are you just standing here? You want to miss the break time?" Tucker pat Danny's shoulder as he shake him.
"Danny?" Sam asked him, curious.
Danny turned to his friends. "Oh? Sorry guys. Umm, don't you want to help him out from that locker? I mean, you know he's stuck there, and no one left here besides us." He smiled nervously as one of his hand is placed behind his neck. "I know we haven't knew him well yet, but—"
"I know Danny, don't worry." Tucker cut his words with friendly voice.
"It's no problem Danny, we wouldn't blame your volition to help everyone." Sam said with a smile.
Danny didn't reply but smiled back at them, relieved that they both understand him. Then Danny, Sam, and Tucker comes near the locker as Sam tried to open it. When she finally did, Criss falls out from the random locker with a little squeak. The trio just stares at him.
"You know, you're lucky he didn't chase you after all." Tucker said to Danny.
"Kinda, but he still did it to him. Hey, are you okay?" Danny try to speak to the new student as he's finally get up.
"Don't get me wrong just because I help you out from that locker, okay?" Sam stoop to take his cap.
"I don't understand with what you just did. Why did you dare to challenge him? You know Dash can beat you up like that with his body." Tucker told him.
"Should you care about it? Damn that guy is so arrogant and shallow-minded. What's his problem acctually? Ah, give my cap back." Criss snatch his cap back from Sam's hand. Sam quickly get annoyed with his attitude.
"Uh hello? Aren't there no thanks coming out from your mouth?" Sam snapped with a raised eyebrow.
"Okay, okay, thank you very much Samantha."
"Samantha?! Nobody calls me with that name!" She suddenly grab his jaket as Criss snapped back.
"What the heck are you doing? Stay away!"
"Wait, how did you know her name? We just meet, didn't we?" Tucker confused.
"Dear god, how you can go inside in a new school's environment if you didn't read the biodatas of everyone inside it?" Criss rolled his eyes when he answer Tucker's question. "In fact, I did read the biodatas of all students in this school before I went here."
"And you memorize it all?" Danny couldn't help but gasp.
"Almost all, I'm not as genius as that, Daniel."
Danny cringed a bit when Criss is calling his name. Of course, that nickname was strictly for Vlad. Danny can hear Tucker chuckled a bit. "What so funny?" Criss demand him as Danny quickly answer, "That's nothing, but…can you just call me Danny? Please don't call me Daniel. I... ugh… hate that nickname."
"I don't understand what's the problem with it but okay then, Dan." Criss shrugged.
Atomatically it remind Danny about his evil future self. "NO! Oh my god not that one too! Both Daniel and Dan!" Danny screamed beastly. Criss give him a look. "I mean, Please don't use both of that nickname to me, you're free to call me Danny, Fenton or even Fenturd! Just please not that two." Danny try to explain to him.
"Oookay… Danny.." Criss couldn't help it. Tucker tried to hide a chuckle behind his hand.
"Then can you just call me Sam too as well?"
"No, I ca—"
"Why not?! You have a revenge with me or what?!" She yelled at him.
"No! Not that. I'm always being formal to girls."
"You're in the school! Is not the right time to think about it!" Sam let out her frustration.
"Who are you? My girlfriend? Why should you blame me? And by the way can you let me go?!" Criss yelled back with a annoyed glare.
Danny and Tucker started to worry that the 3rd world war will start because of them. "Uh, you two—"
"WHAT!?" Both Sam and Criss yelled at them.
"Whoa, take it easy guys."
"We almost pass the break time, aren't you hungry?"
They have an awkward silent for a while. Sam finally release Criss's jaket as the trio started to walk to the canteen. Sam turned to Criss who are still sprucing his hair behind them three. "Just for note, I'm not done with you yet if you still call me with that name, got it ?" Sam cross her arm.
"Hey!" Criss protested.
"It's suitable right? Mr Jared with Mr Jerk?" Sam grinned, pleasefull.
Criss rolled his eyes with a sigh. "Whatever you say, Samantha."
Lol Criss is totally a jerk, isn't he? XP btw, remember the first time that Vlad appeared in this ff? He brought a test-tube with him, right? Yup, That's Danny's blood which gonna used for adding the ecto-plasm powers in Vlad's clone! Oh one last thing, I didn't mean Sam is Danny's girlfriend. Sam is still just Danny's girl friend(With a 'space'). Sorry this story happened before Phantom Planet though. But don't be too sad, their romance scene is still up! :D
