The Ghostly Touch:

Wes fidgeted slightly uncomfortable beside Fenton. For once, the two were paired up for a science project, as both Manson and Foley were out of school that day and it was the teacher assigning partners. There was no way that the project would go smoothly, not with it being Fenton.

There were so many different things that could (and probably would) go wrong. What if Fenton screwed it up? What if Fenton did something to Wes? What if Wes had to go to Fenton's house and Fenton does something like some experiment? What if Fenton took this as an opportunity to get rid of Wes once and for all for knowing the secret?

Fenton would probably not even do it with his extra activities. Wes would be on his own most likely.

"Look," Wes finally said, "I can get all the work done, just don't bug me."

"Are you sure," Danny asked, his eyebrows crinkling in confusion, "I mean I could-"

"No," Wes snapped, "Just no. I can do this. We don't have to get all buddy-buddy. We don't have to go to each other's houses and work together. I'll do it."

"Really, I mean, I can't really let you do that," Danny pointed out, "We're partners not solos."

"Just," Wes said, running a hand through his hair, "Just don't okay."

Danny's brows were still crinkled in concentration, debating whether not it was fair. Should he just go along with it? Finally, he just sighed and started to hand the piece of paper to Wes, whom he noted was careful to avoid touch.

After two weeks of working non-stop on the project, Wes was jumpy and paranoid. He got maybe twelve hours of sleep, total, in those two weeks. He spent every night working on the project and he didn't care how long it took or how much it took out of him. As a result, he was more paranoid than usual. The object of his paranoia, as usual, was Fenton.

By the time the project was finished, Wes was convinced that Fenton was guilty about not working on the project since the project was his only chance to get Wes to come over to his house where he would be able to kill Wes for knowing the secret. It also didn't help that he had spent any free time reading the ghost theories on the Internet- one of which was about 'ghost cooties.'

When he saw Fenton at school, he was careful to avoid contact. He set their project on their table and put papers beside it.

"Remember to sign your name," Wes reminded softly, still being twitchy.

Danny looked him over cautiously- noticing the eye twitches, the way that Wes' eyes were darting around, the way that Wes was fidgeting and not sitting still. Danny put his hand on Wes' arm,

"Hey, dude, you okay?"

The second that Fenton's hand touched his arm, Wes shot out of his seat and out of the room,

"GHOST COOTIES!"

Danny just watched Wes disappear out the classroom door, screaming, with his eyes in shock, what just happened?
