Author Note: It was ghostfiish's post on Tumblr that mentioned 'what if' Wes' locker being next to Paulina and buys Phantom pictures from him, begging him to tell her where Phantom is, but when he tells her that it's Fenton, Paulina doesn't believe him.

Paulina's Purchase:

It made sense, to a degree, why no one believed him. If he didn't see Phantom change into Fenton for himself then he wouldn't believe it either. He had yet to figure out what the weird blue-white light was. He just knew that when Fenton ran into that alley, there was a light, and Phantom came flying out. When he walked into the alley, not only was it a dead end alley with nowhere to go, but also Fenton was nowhere in sight. It might've been a bit far fetched, but it was the only explanation. As for why he was near the alley in the first place, it was because he was on his way home from a basketball game and he dropped his ball- happening to notice Fenton.

Still, he just needed some tangible proof, maybe a video. Why didn't I think of it before, Wes thought angrily, I could set up a camera, something. He was determined to prove it. It was bad enough when people teased for looking like Phantom before, but now they teased him even more because of his crazy ideas. He was anger and determined, if anything to just prove that he wasn't crazy.

If dealing with Fenton/Phantom wasn't enough, to make it even worse Wes had a locker next to Paulina's. The Latina was sure to bother Wes every single day about the latest details about Phantom, however she was never interested in his idea that Fenton was Phantom… That was, if she ever listened to him long enough to hear that part anyway.

Sighing to himself, he opened his locker. It disturbingly was a lot like the wall in his bedroom. Pictures of Phantom and Fenton that he took were on it along with pieces of thin red string connecting them.

"Oh my god," a girl voice shrieked.

Wes held back an eye roll and turned to see Paulina looking at the pictures of Phantom.

"Where did you get those pictures of the Ghost Boy?"

"I took them, just like I've told you every other day you've asked," Wes said through his gritting teeth.

"Oh! Please can I buy that one," she pointed to the picture of a smiling Phantom, "Please! I'll pay for it!"

"Twenty bucks," Wes said automatically.

He could always get more pictures of Phantom himself, but he couldn't always get twenty bucks. He was honestly a bit surprised that Paulina hasn't offered to buy them sooner since she had to be a die-hard Phan (Fan + Phantom = Phan).

Paulina got the money out so fast that Wes barely had the time to blink.

"So if you got pictures of the Ghost Boy, do you know where to find him," Paulina asked sickeningly sweet as she batted her eyelashes.

"4th period English," Wes replied immediately, "For Pete's sake, we go to SCHOOL with the guy! His name is Fenton!"

Why does no one see this? Wes clenched his fist slightly. Paulina scowled,

"Ew, that loser? Can't be. Here take your twenty bucks, I'm out of here."

With the picture in one hand, she shoved the money into him before flipping her long black hair and walking away. Wes grumbled to himself as he shut his locker, but at least he earned twenty bucks.
