Sorry this took so long. But I've been more focused on my other story, 'The New Member of the Order' instead of working on this. As well as how busy May has been.

But don't worry, I promise updates will be faster (ever so slightly)

Also...The Vancouver Canucks made it to the Stanley Cup Final! Hopefully, they'll win it all!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter, tell me what you think in a review.

Chapter 6

It was Star's first day back to school since the incident. She had wanted to stay some more at home, but her Mom forced her to go back.

When Star stepped through the halls of Casper high she hoped that she'd get a few stares at the cast fixed on her leg.

Instead it was a complete nightmare. Not only was everyone looking at her constantly, but they were talking about her.

Everywhere she walked she would hear whispers about herself from random people in the hall. If her shin wasn't cracked then she'd be able to at least try to escape the gossip.

And you would think that her friends would have come to her side, apparently not in her case.

From the beginning of the day, it seemed like everyone from the cheerleading squad as well as the A-list in general were trying to ignore her. Like for example, when Star went to her locker with cheerleading friend Tiffany beside her. When the blond tried to make conversion about her leg Tiffany just responded with a 'That's nice' comment and left quickly.

It puzzled Star to no end.

'Why would they ignore me?' Star thought to herself. 'Maybe it was something from what happened at the Pep Rally?'

As the morning went by, she slowly became more and more insecure about the people's stares. She felt foreign or somehow blocked off from everyone in her bubble that she somehow got trapped inside. She felt as if she'd fallen from the top of the pyramid to the bottom.

Distressed, angry and confused Star decided she had to see the queen bee of the school, Paulina, for some answers.

Paulina was at her locker taking out her text books for her next class while checking her face for any flaws on her skin. Star made her way to the latino as fast as she could with the crutches. She just made it when Paulina had closed the locker door and nearly collided into her.

"Oh hey Star." Paulina said nonchalantly trying to get around Star.

The blond blocked her friend's path with an outstretched crutch.

"What's going on Paulina? Why is everyone acting so strange?"

"You! Are the one who's strange! You're a freak, who believes in floating boys and octopuses" Paulina said arrogantly.

Star was shocked by the fiery response from her, but just looked at her defiantly, "I know what I saw."

"Sure you did...crazy"

"I'm not crazy!"

"That's what all the crazy's think." Paulina said in an icy tone.

Star just stared at her friend, barely comprehending all the hateful things that were being said.

"I thought we were friends."

"I'm not being friends with someone that's a danger to everyone around her!" Paulina said loudly, on the verge of yelling.

Tears started to leak into Star's eyes, as her brain started to process why everyone was looking at her.

'They all think that I'm crazy, that I'm some sort of menace against society.' Star thought with anger.

"I-I know what I saw!" Star stuttered, a single tear leaking down her cheek.

"I don't hang out with freaks" Paulina said, trying to put some extra venom with the word 'freak.'

The latino smiled and started to walk past Star. Just as she brushed past the blondes shoulder, Paulina whispered "You were also becoming too popular, so I needed you out of the way. You made it very convenient for me."

Star's knees started to shake, and not caring about how painful or embarrassing it'll be, collapsed on the floor, crying. The blond sobbed alone in the hallway, not caring about her next class.

Suddenly, a shadow went down the hall with the sunlight, as though someone had just walked into the hall. She looked up at the source of the shadow, but saw nothing there. Not even the shadow.

Star started to shake her head in disbelief. She clutched her head with hands, trying not to scream.

'I'm not crazy' repeated in her head, as a buffer from her hysteria.

Star tried to ignore the stares, her mind a blur as she tried to focus on the mud like food in front of her. Her eyes were downcast and shallow as she shifted the food in front of her, trying to make it more appetizing to eat or the very least, digest.

'What am I going to do!' Star thought sullenly. 'How am I going to prove that I'm not crazy?'

Star poked at her at her food trying to make the mud pies in front of look like some sort of tasty treat.

'Who needs them, if they're going to just throw me away like a rag, then why rejoin them' Star thought with anger.

'Okay, so now what do I do?' Star thought sadly.

With her head still down she heard someone.

"Is it free to sit here?"

"Sure" Star said downcast and moppy.

"You OK?" The person asked.

Star just gritted her teeth in anger. "How, do you think I feel?"

There was a short pause after Star's angry retort. For a moment, she thought that the person had quietly left until she heard their response.

"Well, I think you'd be feeling pretty miserable and unaccustomed to people staring at you...like your strange" The person finished quietly.

Star was unprepared for that response, she was expecting something more rude and sarcastic instead of an actually voice that cared.

Star finally looked up from her muddy plate and looked into the blue eyed face of Danny Fenton sitting across from her.

Next chapter will have an important dialogue and hopefully, if all goes well, I'll have a fight scene... depends on what I decide to do.

Also, tell me what you think of how I'm intertwining Star into the paranormal world and don't be afraid to send any ideas or predictions for the story and constructive criticism.

Until next time,

Prophet =P
