AN: This is an excerpt from the Glee AU I'm working on, details of which are on my homepage. The pairing is Pitch Pearl.
And without further ado, the first time Phantom gets slushied.~
Phantom spluttered as another clump of ice fell to the sink, water dripping into his eyes. He grabbed a paper towel from the dispenser next to him, swiping at his face as the boy next to him ran more water through his hair to rinse the color out.
"Ugh...how can the teachers here let people get away with that? It's completely barbaric," he grumbled. Danny gave him a sympathetic smile as he scrubbed at a particularly stubborn spot. "It's always the problem of hear-say. Your word against a star football player's isn't worth much, especially not in this school." A final gush of water dropped over his head, and Phantom shivered at the drops running down the back of his neck. "There, I think that's all of it," Danny said, wiping off Phantom's hair with a towel. "Well, I guess you can call that your official welcome to Casper High. You know," he mused. "For a first slushie, that wasn't too bad."
Phantom sent him a dry look. "Speak for yourself."
Danny sent him a smirk, gathering up the paper towels to throw away. "Oh trust me, it could've been a lot worse. They could've ganged up on you, or mixed something nasty into it like rock salt. But for a newbie, you did quite admirably. No striking back or anything."
Phantom snorted. "That's just because I was so shocked; I should go back out there and kick their asses."
"Sounds like a great way to get the entire football team and cheerleading squad gunning for you."
"You say that like I should be afraid of them. Have you SEEN my sister? Trust me, they're small fry in comparison to being regularly threatened with a guitar to the head."
Danny let out a laugh, picking up the bag lying on the floor and handing it to Phantom. "Well, if that's the case, you might just make it out of here alive." The tardy bell rang, and Phantom groaned. Late for class in his first week, lovely. "Don't worry, just tell the teacher that you got slushied," Danny said. "They may not do anything to stop it, but most of them are pretty cool about giving people a break. See you later, unless we end up having another makeover." Another amused twinkle of blue eyes, and Danny was gone.
Phantom flung his bag over his shoulder and left the boy's restroom, those eyes burning through his mind all the way to class.
Bonding over your shared geek status...cuties. And the sister he's speaking of? Ember.
Hope you all enjoyed!
