Sam's Plan of Action
Chapter 3: Friday – Part I
Sam awoke from her nap at around eleven o'clock; as she stretched out she brushed her diary on the bed next to her. Looking down at it she noticed that she had forgotten to close and lock it before drifting off to sleep. Reaching over she closed the book and flipped the latch on it closed.
Sam stood up and grabbed the side of her bed in order to steady her self from standing up too fast. Sam walked over towards her bathroom and changed in to a black tank top and loose fitting purple sweat pants. Once Sam was changed she headed over towards her balcony to look out at the night sky; hoping to see a certain half-breed streak across the sky.
At seven o'clock in the morning Sam was rudely awoken to a blaring alarm clock. Sam reached her hand over and slammed it down on the clock nearly breaking it in the process. 'Damn I hate waking up before noon,' Sam moaned to her self. Sam grudgingly made her way over towards her bathroom to take a shower.
After stepping out of her pajamas Sam walked in to the shower. Once Sam had finished her shower she walked in to her closet and grabbed her normal apparel and headed down stairs to grab something to eat before heading out to school. As Sam neared Casper High she saw her two best friends waiting for her in front of the school. "Hey Danny, Tucker you guys are here early," Sam yelled once she was within shouting distance.
"Well, it's the last day of school before winter break and I am in a hurry to be done with it," Tucker stated.
Sam stole a glance over at Danny who was staring down at his feet like there was something on them. "Hey Danny what's wrong? You seemed a little distracted."
Danny looked up at Sam with his trademark half grin. "Oh, nothings wrong; I'm just a little tired that's all," Danny lied hoping Sam did realize he had flipped through her diary.
Sam knew immediately that something was amiss, but she just couldn't quite place what it was. "Well, you could try and get more sleep," Sam stated giving him a fake scowl.
Danny just smiled at her and turned to walk in to the school for first period. Sam and tucker fell in line behind him. Sam leaned over and asked Tucker what was going on with Danny. Tucker just sighed and said that he had no idea what was going on with Danny. They reached Danny's class first and he walked in without saying another word to his two friends.
Tucker and Sam headed towards their class. "Tuck what is wrong with Danny? He seems nervous; don't you think," Sam asked Tucker with concern evident in her voice.
"Well, I would have to agree with you, but he hasn't told me anything. Let me see if I can get something out of him during gym class."
Sam went though the rest of class trying to figure out what was making Danny so nervous.
Gym Class
"Hey Danny, What has got you so shut down today," Tucker asked once the locker room was cleared and just Danny and Tucker remained.
"I think that I made a big mistake," Danny stated holding his head in his hands.
"What did you do? I'm sure that it isn't anything that we can't fix. Just tell me what happened man."
Danny took a moment to look up at his best friend and then relented to Tuck's question. "Well, last night when I was out on patrol."
"What did you destroy Danny."
"Could you let me finish."
"Fine, Fine"
"Well, after patrolling for a couple of hours I went by to see Sam." Danny looked over at tucker to see him smiling from ear to ear.
"And"
"Well, I saw her asleep in her bed and thought that I would take a closer look and noticed her diary. You know the one my mother made for her."
"Well, did you get another shock of a life time or what," Tucker said enthused.
"No. The books was lying face down and open; I couldn't help my self. I opened it and read a few of the entries."
"You what! You have got to be kidding me. What did they say?" Tucker was trying to act surprised maybe if Danny knew Sam liked him back than this whole thing would be easier.
"Well, I looks like I have been hurting Sam for a long time. Always talking about Valerie and Paullina; I guess I never knew what I was putting Sam through."
"You know Danny there is a reason we have been calling you clueless all of these years. So know you know Sam likes you, I know you like her so why don't you just do something about it."
Danny looked at Tucker in shock. "What do you mean Sam likes me?"
The color from Tucker's face drained as he realized what he had just done. Tucker mentally kicked him self for assuming that Danny had read the Sam cared. Apparently he had just read about all of the times that Danny had hurt Sam's feelings going on about other girls. "What, I didn't say that," Tucker said trying to fix his mistake.
"You just said that Sam likes me. I know that is what you just said," Danny looked at Tucker with guilt and joy in his eyes.
"Alright Danny I was not supposed to tell you that I had just figured that when you read the diary that you read that."
"But you are serious. Sam really likes me," Danny said with a need that Tucker could easily read.
"Yes Danny. And just for the record this conversation never happened. Well, at least to this particular topic."
"Agreed"
"Well, I think that Sam has gotten fed up with you taking so long to figure this out and plans on telling you her self this weekend. That is why I canceled our plans for this weekend. Sam asked me to do it as a favor for her. Now you can not act like you know any of this and when she asks me what was bothering you I'll tell her that you had a rough fight with Skulker. Sound good to you?"
"Alright I'll play along."
With that done Danny and Tucker headed out to the field to run laps with the rest of the class.
Lunch Time
After gym Danny and Tucker headed over to their normal table to await Sam. Sam walked over a few minutes after seeing as how she had to fight to get the salad from the cafeteria personal.
"Hey guys, have fun in gym," Sam asked. Both boys just looked up at her and shrugged their shoulder and continued to eat their burgers.
"So Sam have any plans for tonight. Tucker when and got him self grounded."
"Sorry Danny, but I'm going to be busy tonight."
Danny looked confused but quickly went back to him meal. 'What could she have planned? I thought that Tucker said she made him cancel his plans so that she could make plans' Danny thought to him self. Danny gave a quick glance over at Tucker just to get just as a confused look back from him. Danny stole a glance at Sam only to find a slight smile grace her lips. Just as Danny was about to ask what she was smiling about the bell for class rang and the teens went in their separate ways.
After School
Danny rushed out of class and over to his locker. After picking up his stuff he headed over towards the front of the school to find Tucker and Sam. "Hey Tuck, where's Sam," Danny asked confused.
"She said that she had some place to be and headed out pretty quick once the bell rang."
"Alright I guess I'll just head home then. No point in waiting around here. Catch you later Tucker." With that Danny walked behind the trash cans and transformed into Danny Phantom and headed towards his house.
