Hey guys! I got my laptop back! Now I don't have to sneak around to type out my stuff! The only thing that would make this better is if I owned Danny Phantom, which I don't. Well I have nothing left to say here so go forth and read!
While Danny and Sam were enjoying themselves, Paulina sat at her own booth, fuming. Why didn't he see me? she thought angrily, I did everything I could to get his attention and all he did was go into "battle mode" with that which! I'm the pretty one! I should be the one to date the hero! According to her, life was a fairy tale, and this was nothing like a Disney movie! Well to Sam it was, but she would never admit it.
Contrary to the popular girl's beliefs, Danny did notice her lame attempts at getting him to like her. He also thought it was extremely shallow and stupid. She knew Sam was his girlfriend and yet she still acted like that! "Hey Sam, did you see what Paulina was doing during the fight?" he asked her, after they both had calmed down.
"Yeah that was so dumb! She should know that I'm never going to let you leave me!" she stated. As an afterthought she added, "Plus that whole wet t-shirt thing was really trashy." Sam was smiling again, knowing that her boyfriend would never fall for that kind of thing and that's all Paulina would ever be able to try. She was way too shallow to think of anything better.
"And she should know that I would never leave you in the first place!" he added. It was this statement that Paulina heard. Something inside her snapped and tears started to well up. They spilled over her cheeks, taking her make-up with them. In a dramatic fit, she fled from the Nasty Burger and out to her car. She didn't go anywhere though. She just sat there crying.
"How could he say that!" she wailed, knowing no one could hear her, "I'm supposed to get the hero! Why doesn't he love me!" she screamed for about ten minuets about how Danny was hers and what not. Then she came to the realization that the problem was Sam. She was the one stealing her ghost boy! Paulina stopped wailing. Her sadness turned to rage. She was going to get Danny, even if she had to battle for him!
Still inside the Nasty Burger, everyone was staring at the door. They had all just seen Paulina run out crying for no apparent reason. Even Danny, who didn't like her one bit, was concerned. He just couldn't stand to see anyone that upset. He got up and headed for the door. "What are you doing?" Sam asked, very confused.
"I'm going to see if she's okay. No one runs out of the room crying for no reason," he explained. Danny was sure this wasn't one of Paulina's swallow plots to get his attention. There was no way she was that good an actress. And even if it was, he would never go out with her.
There was a small ding as the door opened and closed. It was really easy to pick out her car, the custom painted, pink Volkswagen Beetle. Inside it was a very depressed Latino girl, crying her eyes out. Danny walked up and knocked on her passenger side window. "What do you want?" she asked, still sobbing, after rolling down the window. She knew it couldn't be good, seeing that he just said he would never break up with Sam.
"I just wanted to see if you were okay," Danny told her, "I can't just let someone run away crying like that." He opened the door so he could sit down and talk to her.
"You and Sam were talking about me and you said you would never leave her, but I like you! How can you not like me! I'm so pretty and popular, and she's not!" she complained, her voice cracking several times. Nonetheless, he listened. He was the kind of person that could never leave someone in the time of need, even if it was for a shallow reason.
"Look Paulina," he consoled, "You're a very pretty girl, but you're not Sam. She's been my best friend for years, kicks ghost but with me, she's not afraid of anything, and even though she's goth, she's the nicest person I know. You've been really mean to me for as long as I can remember, freak out about the littlest things, and you're not nice to anybody unless you want something from them. How do you expect me to pick you over her?"
She went silent. No one ever put it into perspective like that. Right now, she hated herself for acting the way she has. Sam really was a cool person and she could never compare to that. Danny noticed that Pauline had been shocked into silence. Deciding she wasn't going to snap out of it any time soon, he left her to her thoughts.
The more she thought about what he had said, the more upset she got. She completely disregarded the point of what he said and came to her own conclusion. According to her, Sam was intoxicating her ghost boy, and she was going to put a stop to it!
Yay! Another chapter has been completed! I have only one request for you guys. Go on my 101 Oneshot story and read the one called Orchestra. I think it's either the second or third one. Then come back to this story and vote whether you think I should make it a full story or not. I'll give a shout out to all who voted in the next chapter and the first chapter of Orchestra if the votes turn out if favor of it.
