Hey guys! I am back! :D

So, I've been falling in love for these couple of weeks… The only problem is, I don't think he likes me back. But, now we sit across from each other during class so that would make us come closer :3

Anyway, so this chapter will be where the plot will come in. I'm excited to introduce it to you since it may be surprising to all of you ;)

So buckle your seat belts and hang on tight. You are all going on a bumpy ride!

And I changed the category from suspense to mystery. This is more mysterious than suspenseful.

I do not own Danny Phantom.

A Phantom Story

Chapter 11

A few days later, school was here to haunt me again. After the news of me being kidnapped spread across the town of Amity, I just knew the kids wouldn't even care. Just like the kids in California didn't when my parents vanished. So why would these kids care if they're exactly the same as them?

I sighed as I walked into the doors of Casper High. I saw all eyes stare at me as I pass by. I looked at their faces and saw them sort of check me out. I only had little bruises on my arms, but that was it. And when the students saw it looked I wasn't hurt at all, they went back to their own business. Well, at least if they knew I was hurt, they would've cared a little. Or start a rumor or something.

I walked to my locker to find Danny there. I haven't seen him since he ran out of the cafeteria the day Paulina knocked me out and I got kidnapped. I still wondered why he walked out like that. I wondered if he knew…

I shook my head and opened my locker. I grabbed all my books and notebooks that I needed. When I closed my locker, I was about to say hi to Danny, but the minute I turned to face him, he was gone.

I sighed and walked to my class. I already had a feeling that today was not going to be the best day for me.

When I got to my classroom, I started walking to my seat when Mr. Lancer touched my shoulder. I turned around to face him.

"You'll be sitting with Mr. Fenton today, Miss Manson," Mr. Lancer informed. I tilted my head in confusion.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"Due to our activity today, you'll be partnered up with Mr. Fenton. Miss Gray will be partnered up with Nathan, who usually sits next to Mr. Fenton," Mr. Lancer explained. I nodded and sat down next to Danny.

"Hey," I said. Danny looked up at me, but said nothing. He just continued looking back at his textbook. "What's wrong?"

"I don't like you," Danny answered, coldly. Honestly, hearing those words, made my heart shatter.

"Why?" I asked. I actually thought we were going to become friends, but I guess I was wrong.

He looked up at me, a dull expression on his face. "For a reason I can't explain," was his answer. He then merely looked back at his textbook blankly.

So, he doesn't like me for a reason he can't explain? I don't get it. When he saved me from the ghost attack, he was nice to me. He was being a friend. So how can he not like me? Was that day a total blank to him now? I guess he never considered me as a friend after all.

I sighed and opened my textbook to the page Mr. Lancer told us to open up to. He gave us our project directions, saying we had to work with a partner to do so. I turned to Danny, who took the directions and started reading them silently.

"So, are we going to work together or not?" I asked.

"Only for this project. But when we're not, don't talk to me," he said. He reminded me of Tucker a little bit. No wonder they were friends. They were both assholes.

"That's not going to be a problem anymore," I said.

"Good." Danny stated. He then handed me the directions and we started to work on our project peacefully.

I sat next to Valerie at lunch. I glared at her. She told my Aunt that I was at Fenton Works after I told her that she threatened me not to go there anymore. How could she? Is she mad at me because I talked to Phantom before? Oh, I wonder how pissed she'll be if she ever finds out I kissed him the other night.

"Why?" I asked her. She looked at me in confusion.

"Why what?" she questioned.

"You know what I'm talking about."

"Honestly, I don't know what the hell you talking 'bout, girl."

"Why did you tell my Aunt and Uncle I was at Fenton Works when I was not!?" I yelled at her. Valerie then put her hands up in defense.

"Hey, I panicked, alright? I knew you were kidnapped and I was worried about you. So when I stopped by your house to drop off your stuff, your Aunt asked me where you were… and I panicked and said you were at Fenton Works…" Valerie explained.

"Well, it cost me a slap across the face," I murmured. Unfortunately, she heard.

"Your Aunt slapped you!?" Valerie screeched. "Why?"

"Because, apparently, she hates the Fentons," I answered.

"So, who saved you?" Valerie asked, changing the subject.

"Phantom…" I trailed off.

"Sam! How could you let him do that!?"

"Because he's my bo- my friend," I answered, catching myself from saying 'boyfriend'.

"He is not your friend," she said. "He's probably just messin' with you." This made me angry.

"You don't know him! Are you the one who talks to him every night? No. Are you the one who learned to understand him? No. So, what makes you think you can judge him without knowing him?"

"Girl, I been here before Phantom ever existed. He came to our world about two years ago. I known him for two years. You only known him, for what, a week? Listen to me when I say this, never fall for his trap. I fell for it once, and came back up with a shattered heart. I just don't want you to repeat the history that I once had with him," Valerie said. She then got up and walked away, leaving me paralyzed and a question floating through my head.

Was Phantom using me?

After the lunch bell rang, I saw a big, blonde jock going up to Danny. The jock had an angry expression on his face as he did so. He grabbed Danny by the collar and threw him against the lockers.

"I heard that you are dating Paulina," he started. "Trying to steal my girl away from me, aren't you Fenton? Well, that's not going to happen." The jock then made a fist and shot it towards Danny. But, to my surprise, Danny caught it.

"Neither is you beating me, Dash," Danny said. He then pushed the jock, who was named Dash, off of him, which made Dash furious.

"You asked for it, Fenton," he threatened. Dash then punched Danny in the face. Unfortunately for Dash, this showed no affect on Danny. It was like he was used to being punched in the face all the time. But it didn't stop Danny from loosing his temper.

Danny's hand flew rapidly towards Dash and hit him straight in the face. Dash fell backwards, his nose dripping out blood. Danny hovered over Dash. I knew I had to do something. And had to do it fast.

Right when Danny was going to finish off Dash, I screamed, "STOP!" Danny and Dash turned their attention to me and so did the crowd that were surrounding and watching the two. I walked over to the both of them and pushed Danny aside.

"You know you're going to get suspended for this," I informed him. He scoffed.

"This dude has been beating and picking on me since day one. Its my turn to show him who's the boss now," Danny replied. When he was about to walk over to finish off Dash, I grabbed his arm.

"Danny, stop. Now." I demanded. Surprisingly, I saw him look deep in my eyes and heard him sigh in defeat. He snatched his arm from my hand and glared at me.

"Fine," he said. "But don't touch me again." And he walked off.

I looked at Dash to see him being pulled up by other two jocks and walking him to the nurse's office, while the others went back to their own business. I sighed and headed off to class. But a class with Danny.

When I got home from school, I sighed. I knew when I opened the door to my new so-called-home, I would be greeted by my drunk Aunt and Uncle.

But when I opened the door, I was greeted by Rebecca and Alex.

"R-Rebecca? A-Alex?" I stuttered. They had big smiles, but worried expressions on their faces.

"Sammy!" Rebecca exclaimed. She ran to me and squeezed me. I laughed and hugged and squeezed her back. I really missed her.

"Becky!" I exclaimed. A few seconds later, we separated and I was face to face with Alex.

"Hey Alex!" I exclaimed. His face was full with worry than with happiness.

"Sam…" he murmured. I gulped. He probably knew about me being kidnapped. I nervously laughed.

"So you heard about how I got kidnapped, didn't you?" I guessed. Alex nodded.

"But that's not all," he admitted. It was then that I was confused.

What else could he possibly know? I wasn't hiding anything. I would never hide anything from them. But this made me nervous. They knew something that I didn't know. But what was it?

"What?"

"You heard me."

"And what's the other thing you also know about?" I asked. Alex looked at Rebecca and she looked at him. They both looked at me with serious eyes staring into mine.

"We know about Phantom."

Haha, as evil as I am, I'm stopping it there :3

Wondering why they know about Phantom? All going to be explained in the next chapter ;)

And I just realized, tomorrow will be a month since I last updated. I AM SO SORRY! School is getting on my nerves. Also the case of writer's block. Mix them together and you get stress, people xD

Anyway, what will happen? What does Valerie mean that she fell in Phantom's trap and came back with a shattered heart? Is Phantom using Sam? Why does Danny not like Sam? And how on earth does Rebecca and Alex know about Phantom?

Some will be revealed in the next chapter… stay tuned xD
