Sorry it took so long! I've had stuff I had to take care of for school and such, and prepare songs for my friends' A Capella Group auditions. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this next chapter! It gives some insight into Sam's life! After this, the chapters will mostly be a mixture of Sam's and Danny's POV's.
Also, I'd like to thank ReenaKanda for Betaing this story!

And now, I present... Chapter 1!

Ghost Zone - Modern Day

Two figures stood in front of a round screen, studying the events that it showed. The smaller figure - clad in black and white - looked up to the other, who wore shades of purple.
With a slight British accent, the smaller one asked, "Are those the ones?"
The purple-clad figure nodded. "Yes. That is them."

Casper High, Amity Park, Illinois - Modern Day

Sam sighed and slammed her locker shut. Now that the school day was over, she'd have to deal with her overly preppy parents. It had been even worse after her grandmother had passed. If she went home, she'd most likely end up getting grounded for some sarcastic response.
Luckily, Tucker and Jazz, her best friends since as long as she could remember, saved her sorry ass once again.
They ran up to her, laughing and flirting, stopping in front of her with large grins on their faces. The two had been dating for a year now, after Jazz finally - and shyly - admitted her feelings for Tucker.
Sam smiled weakly at the couple, before it faded into an unhappy scowl. Her two friends stared at her sympathetically.
"Bad day?" Tucker asked; he winced at the glare she sent him in response.
"Ya think?" There goes that sarcasm again. God, she needed to fix that.
Jazz stopped her from mentally scarring the African-American teen any more than she already had in all the years she had known him. "Well, we were going to the Nasty Burger, and then possibly the mall afterwards, if you wanted to come."
Sam grinned, though it didn't reach her eyes. "Sure, that sounds great. Thanks."

At the Nasty Burger, things seemed to go downhill. As soon as Sam sat down, the royal snobs of Casper High walked in, hanging onto their boyfriends. Paulina Sanchez and Star Strong momentarily paused when they saw the "loser trio", but quickly recovered, sneering as they stalked closer.
Sam gritted her teeth and her fists balled up beneath the table. Jazz and Tucker seemed to notice and, with nervous glances, they each grabbed one of her hands. Sam felt some of the pressure lift away, but it instantly returned with the Latina's next words.
"Trying to keep the 'guard dog' under control, freaks? More like a chihuahua." The Queen B and her second-in-command snickered at the stupid jeer.
"Oh, then you must be the fire hydrant, huh?"
Silence fell throughout the whole restaurant. Even the person sitting at the drive-thru made no sound. Dash and Kwan stared on in bewilderment, while Paulina looked murderous. Star had quieted down, and she looked like she wanted to flee.
"What did you just say?" came Paulina's oh-so-intelligent response.
"You heard me, you shallow witch." Jazz and Tucker winced and scooted away from Sam, hoping not to get caught in the crossfire.
An undignified squeak came from the popular girl's mouth. "I am not shallow!"
Sam smirked. "If ya mean I could stand in a puddle of you and not get my feet wet, then yeah, you are."
Steam was pouring out of Paulina's ears as she gritted her teeth in an attempt to find a comeback, but Sam beat her to it.
"Oh! And you didn't object to being called a witch. Anything you're trying to tell us, Queen B?"
Paulina snapped, but unfortunately her small brain capacity couldn't keep up with her emotions. "You're the witch! All you wear is black, and I bet, without a doubt, that you have spell books and potions all over your house, you little freak!"
Sam blinked. "Was that you trying to insult me? Because you didn't do a very good job. You should know that I honestly don't care whatsoever what you or any of your cronies think of me."
Paulina muffled a scream, her fists clenching. She suddenly reached up and slapped the goth across the cheek. Sam gaped for a moment, shocked, before her eyes seemed to light with a fire. Paulina winced and took a step back, completely losing her resolve. It was quite clear that Sam was pissed.
Sam growled deeply in her throat, a low sound that made many people feel as if they were in a horror movie.
And then all hell broke loose.

Sam was currently riding home in a police car. Paulina hadn't been hurt enough to be sent to the hospital, but her oh-so-perfect complexion was ruined. Sam had quite a few scratches and bruises herself, but not nearly as many as the A-lister had.
Sam fidgeted with her handcuffed hands. Her parents were going to have to pay her bail again, or she'd be under house arrest and have to do community service. She did community service anyway, but her parents didn't want her to, so there's an even bigger chance of her getting out of this. But she'll still be sued by Paulina's family.
Sighing, Sam realized that they were pulling up to her house. The officers gawked at the mansion. She rolled her eyes; it seemed that everyone reacted like that when they first saw where she lived. She knocked on the window to get their attention, and they opened the car door, still staring at the house in awe.
She kicked the front door open and walked inside, startling her parents. Her mother was the first to recover. "Oh my goodness, Sammykins, why are you in handcuffs?!"
The police, having gotten control of themselves, walked in behind the teen. "She's in handcuffs because she attacked a student at the Nasty Burger."
Sam's parents stared at her in shock at the startling claim, "Samantha!"
Sam rolled her eyes and shoved her hands towards the officers, indicating to remove the handcuffs. Shaking his head, the younger officer did so, while the older turned to explain to her parents what had happened.
Sam turned and walked towards her room with her head held high. As she reached the stairs, she heard her parents shouts of outrage at the idea of their daughter being under house arrest. She sighed. Even her own parents didn't want her around. They worked from home; whenever they worked at all. If she was under house arrest, they would have to interact with each other at some point, and that would only lead to disaster.
Sam slipped into her purple fleece pajama pants and black tank top, and curled up on her bed with her thick purple comforter wrapped tightly around her shoulders. Heaving a sigh, she rolled onto her stomach and grabbed her laptop, pulling up Netflix. She clicked on an episode of Warehouse 13 and closed her eyes, relaxing into the sheets.
She was asleep by the time the episode started.

Yeah, it's a little short... blame Pottermore. I've recently joined (I'm a Slytherin! ^^), and it's taken up a lot of my time! I like to once again thank ReenaKanda. I'll try to get the next chapter up soon, I'm going on a family trip in July.

Well, I hope you enjoy this! ^^ Let me know about anything I should change or add. In the meantime, I hope you all have a great day or night!
