Ok I have decided that these chapters will be based on Danny's POV. Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN DANNY PHANTOM. English is my second idiom. I have to explain something about the last chapter: you may think it was strange for Danny or Albert to speak in a mature way. Well…it´s a fic after all. I just had the idea of making ghosts very smart enough to speak like that at that age. But what about Danny? He isn´t a ghost, is he? Keep reading to find out. Ok… now back to the story.

Chapter 8: School and friends

My mom entered my room and shook me gently, making me wake up.

"It's morning dear. You have to get ready for school" she told me, walking towards a closet and taking out my usual clothes: my white t-shirt, blue jeans and red tennis. I yawned and got up. I could hear her whispering while taking out the clothes.

"Oh, kids grow up so fast. Now my dear Danny is 3 years old and is going to school with his brother". I got sad and angry when she mentioned my brother: When I was smaller I wanted so badly to go with him, but now… I didn't want to think of it. She put the clothes in my bed and smiled.

"Mom…Will I be alone with him?" I asked. She looked at me confused, but shook her head.

"No dear. Pamela phoned me, telling me she would send her daughter to school today. Also, Maurice said he would send his boy today. In fact, lots of couples told me that. Why did you ask?" .I gasped at her question: because she and dad were barely on home, they didn't know about Albert's arrogance, but I decided to say nothing about him.

"Just asking" I said. She looked at me suspiciously at first, but then she smiled.

"Ok, when you are ready, go downstairs. And don't forget to bring your schoolbag" she had to shout the last part because she was already downstairs. I sighed and started putting on my clothes and picked up my schoolbag. When I went downstairs, I could smell something delicious coming from the kitchen, so I followed the smell. When I reached the kitchen, I saw what my mom was cooking: a steak. She waited a little for the meat to get cold, then cut it in pieces with a knife and put them in a small box. Finally she kept the box in a lunchbox. When she turned and saw me she got slightly surprised.

"Oh, you sure seem to be excited to go to school" she said. I tried to smile as naturally as I could.

"Je…sure mom" I told her.

"That's perfect" she told me. She gave me a bowl of cereal and sat down besides me. I had always wondered why my parents never ate, nor my brother, but only me. Just before grabbing the spoon I looked at my mom.

"Mom…I have a question. Why I am the only one who eats here?" I asked. She looked at me blankly and was hesitant for a few minutes.

"Has Albert ever told you about your birth?" she asked. I shooked my head, getting more curious. She sighed.

"You see…you were born before time because of a ghost that attacked us. I got hurt, but not that badly, because you had…protected me. Because of that you have these changes. The doctor says you were so weak, and that we would have to give you food. But ghosts don't need to eat" she explained me. I was very surprised to hear that. I remembered that my brother had told me about an accident 2 years ago, but because he was bragging about himself I didn't pay too much attention. She smiled.

"Now hurry up honey. It's getting late to go to school" she told me and flew towards the door. I ate up as fast as could, grabbed the lunchbox and ran towards the door. I suddenly felt her hands grabbing my arms.

"I will take you to school, so that it is faster" she offered and started floating a little higher. Just in that moment Albert flew besides me.

"This is so embarrassing…I could fly perfectly when I was your age, but you still don't know how to" he said before flying away, towards the school. My mom got a little angry but ignored it and took me flying towards the building. Flying was so awesome: you could feel the air hitting gently your face and you could reach the sky. Now I understand why my brother liked it. My mom landed and put me down, waving before flying back to home. I also waved and gasped when I saw the building. Now I was getting scared. What would the others think of me? I looked around, just to see Albert in the entrance. I sat down and looked at the streets, hoping nobody would come. I cursed my luck when I saw a girl flying towards the school. I hid my face under my arms, when I suddenly heard the ring of the bell from the school. I got up and walked inside, looking down. When I turned, I saw lot of ghosts walking inside. I gulped and kept walking. Because I wasn´t paying attention to where I was going, I accidentally crashed with somebody and fell over.

"Oh sorry. Are you ok?" he asked. I closed my left eye and saw him: A ghost of my age wearing glasses, a red beret on his eyes, a yellow t-shirt, black belt, green jeans and brown boots and had green eyes.

"No, it was my fault" I replied and got up slowly, still closing my green eye.

"Did I hurt your eye?" he asked, feeling somehow guilty. I shooked my head.

"No, it's nothing" I said. Suddenly I saw a man flying towards us. He was fat, but tall, wearing a blue t-shirt and black jeans.

"You 2 go to classroom 9" he ordered and pointed towards a door with that number. We nodded and walked towards the room. I opened the door and looked around: the place was crowded. I saw an empty place and sat down. The other ghost found a seat near mine and sat there. I was very nervous and started shivering, hiding my face under my arms again. Then I felt somebody touching my shoulder. I looked up, still hiding my eye. It was the same girl I saw before. She was very beautiful: purple eyes, black hair (part of it was tied in a ponytail), black top with a purple oval on the center, black skirt with green stripes, purple socks and black boots. I smiled.

"What happens?" she asked me gently.

"Oh…it's just that I feel nervous. I don't know what the other ghosts will think of me" I replied honestly, making her smile warmly.

"It's ok. I also feel a little nervous" she said. She handed her hand.

"My name is Sam Manson, pleased to meet you" she introduced. I also handed my hand.

"Danny Fenton. Good to meet you" I introduced myself nervously. I felt another hand: It was from the other ghost.

"Tucker. Tucker Foley" he said proudly with a smile. I smiled back.

"I like your hair style" said Sam while touching my hair and looking at my white stripe.

"Um…thanks" I said.

"In which store you painted your hair?" she asked.

"Oh…nowhere. I was born with it" I explained, getting uncomfortable. I didn't really enjoy when somebody asked me so much questions.

"Really!" exclaimed Tucker, surprised. I just nodded.

"What happened to your left eye?" asked again Sam. I became hesitant, and wasn't really sure if I could answer.

"Yeah dude. Show it to us" pleaded Tuck. I sighed deeply and opened slowly my eye. When it was fully open, Tucker and Sam were surprised.

"Wow…2 eyes of different colors" said Sam.

"Looks good on you" commented Tucker.

"Do you think so?" I asked, amazed. The 2 nodded.

"But why you were hiding it from us?" asked Tucker. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Part of my nervousness" I explained. Tucker took out a piece of paper with some writing on it and covered my blue eye.

"What are you doing?" Sam asked, curiously.

"A small test. What does it say here?" he asked me. I barely knew how to read, and my eye can't see well, so I had a hard time deciphering what it said. I somehow thanked Albert because he had taught me a little how to read.

"I-I a-am Tucker F-Foley. I-I l-love t-the t-technol-logy. I-I a-am … Sorry, I can't see the other part" I said while blinking my eye. He uncovered my right eye and covered the left one. I could see more clearly.

"I a-am Tucker F-Foley. I love the t-technology. I h-have n-no b-brothers or s-sisters" I finished reading and looked at Tucker, confused.

"Ok. You see way better with the right eye than with the left eye, can't you?" he said.

"Um… yeah. Why did you ask?" I asked.

"Just wanted to know. There had to be an explanation" he explained.

"You are very intelligent" commented Sam.

"My parents have taught me things about machines or reading" Tucker said proudly.

"Ey Danny" I heard a voice I immediately recognized.

"Please don't tell me he will be in my classroom" I said to myself, and looked up to Albert.

"What do you want now?" I asked.

"Give you some advices. When I was your age, at first I was scared, but easily got on well with the teachers. They taught me…" I ignored him again and looked back at my friends.

"Who is he?" whispered Sam.

"My arrogant brother" I replied angrily, while Albert seemed to be talking with the wall.

"Man, I am glad I don't have brothers" whispered Tucker.

"I wished I was…-" I was cut off by Albert's yells.

"YOU NEVER PAY ATTENTION WHEN I AM SPEAKING!" Everyone in the room kept silence and looked at us.

"I have told you and I will say it again: Your stories are boring" I replied indifferently. He got pretty mad and grabbed the collar of my t-shirt. I started shivering: he had never been so aggressive with me, and it really scared me. Just when he was about to punch me, the door opened.

"Mr. Albert! Go to your classroom!" ordered the adult ghost. Albert put me down gently and looked at me angrily before flying outside the room. I couldn't stop breathing so fast. The ghost flew towards me and smiled warmly.

"Don't worry kid. I won't let him hurt you" he promised me and flew at the front of the classroom.

"Ok, welcome to your first year here in Casper High. My name is Lancer, and I will be your teacher" he explained. "I´ll take list: Tucker Foley"

"Present" he said while raising his hand.

"Sam Manson"

"Present"

"Dash Baxter"

"Right here"

"Kwan"

"Present"

"Danny Fenton"

"H-here" I said, nervously, but nobody, except for Sam and Tucker" seemed to care, and so he took list for a few minutes and then stopped.

"You will also have another teacher: she will be in charge of teaching you how to control your powers. She is Tetslaff" he introduced and a teacher who looked very strong and rude came in.

"It will be a pleasure to teach you" she said with a smile.

"And know, let the classes get started" said Lancer happily, even though we all looked at him bored.


"Oh no…I don't want to go there" I said, very scared, but Sam and Tucker pushed me.

"Come on, it can't be that bad" convinced Tucker. Still, I was scared to go into the sports class. Finally we all entered to the gym.

"Welcome to the sports class. First you will do some exercises" ordered and used a whistle. Everybody started.


"Ok now to the controlling-your-powers part. Try to fly" she said. Everyone, except me, floated in mid-air. I could hear laughs in all the room. I lowered my head, feeling embarrassed. The woman looked at me seriously.

"Concentrate kid!" ordered me seriously. I tried to concentrate, but couldn't do it.

"Sit down in that chair meanwhile. I will talk to you when the class finishes" she told me. I did as instructed and looked sadly at my friends, who also looked sad and then paid attention to the teacher. I couldn't help but to feel stupid in there: all of the kids could control most of their powers, and I couldn't. Thanks goodness Albert wasn't there.

After a boring hour of looking at everyone the teacher whistled.

"Ok you can go now to your recess" she ordered. The ghosts cheered and flew outside the gym as fast as they could. Just when I got up, the teacher walked towards me.

"Now we need to talk. Tell me, haven't your parents taught you how to fly?" she asked.

"My brother…" I said.

"And why you can't control it then?"

"Sincerely I don't even know. I try the hardest, but I can't" I replied sadly before walking outside. Suddenly I saw Sam and Tucker appear in front of me, making me scream weakly.

"Sorry dude" apologized Tucker.

"It's ok" I said and then relaxed.

"Ey dude. Everybody in the school already knows how to fly or control the basics. Why you can't?" Tucker asked me. Sam looked at him angrily and elbowed his arm.

"Ey!" he exclaimed.

"I don't know… maybe it has to do with the accident" I muttered the last part, however, Tucker and Sam heard me.

"What? Accident?" Tucker exclaimed.

"Shh…keep the voice down" I told him. He nodded.

"But can you explain us about your accident?" Sam pleaded. I sighed deeply, and explained how a ghost appeared in Albert's training, fired a laser that hurt my mom, knocked down my dad and what Albert did to save our parents.

"Wow…what a story" Sam said. Tucker didn't talk-instead he looked at me suspiciously and walked around me. I started getting scared and shivered.

"Now what are you doing" Sam asked and crossed her arms. Tucker's eyes widened.

"What?" I asked. He shook his head.

"Oh…nothing" he replied. "Let's go to the cafeteria" he said and pushed me and Sam towards the place. As soon as we found a seat, we sat down. I took out the box with the steak and started eating the pieces. I stopped when I saw everyone staring at me. I lowered my head and kept the box in the lunchbox.

"Dude, what are you doing?" asked Tucker.

"Oh…n-nothing. I have to go" I stood up and ran away, crashing with somebody again. It was Dash Baxter, a rude strong ghost who was in my class. He looked at me angrily.

"Why don't you look where are you going?" he asked rudely. I shook my head and got up. Suddenly I felt a pain in my arm. When Dash grabbed my arm, I screamed in pain. He left my arm and pushed me aside gently, but, for some reason, I was sent flying towards the wall. I got unconscious after that, just able to listen weak voices.
