DANNY'S POV

I dragged Sam and Tucker away from Cari. They both looked pretty confused. I looked back at Cari she had begun sign spinning again.

"Okay there are a few things I haven't told you guys."

"Oh really?" Sam said sarcastically.

"Come on let's give him a chance." Tucker said. Sam folded her arms and waited for me to explain.

"Well you guys know how she has a broken ankle and all?" they both nodded as I continued, "Well it was kind of my fault." they both stared at me even more confused than before, "Cujo got out of the ghost zone and I was trying to get him back, but Valerie saw me and so I was a three way chase. I tried to end it by disappearing, but she dropped her ghost ray and it hit Cari in the back. She is lucky she isn't paralyzed."

"So how is this your fault?" Tucker asked

"Well if I hadn't tried to ditch the fight she wouldn't have gotten hurt." I answered.

"Well that still doesn't mean you should hang around with a jerk like her."

"That's the thing she isn't a jerk." I said hoping they would understand.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sam questioned angrily.

"She is a complete and total geek and as far as I can tell when she isn't around Dash and Paulina she is super nice and funny."

"So you are saying she is only being a jerk to get in with the populars." Tucker said, he was getting the idea.

"Yes, I also think she was bullied worse than any of us at her other school, and I guess she didn't want to same thing to happen again."

"I guess that all makes sense, but I still don't like her." Sam said. I guess I had been hoping she would be okay with Cari, but that is Sam for you.

"I'm sorry for not telling you guys." I said.

"It's okay maybe she will come to get senses." Tucker said Sam just nodded.

"I guess I should get back to her." I said. They nodded in agreement Sam still didn't seem to thrilled, but there wasn't much I could do about it. "See you later" I yelled as I flew back towards Cari. I knew something was wrong the moment I saw her sitting in the grass so I flew over and landed at her side.

CARI'S POV

I had my hands over my face hiding the tears that I realized I couldn't hold back. I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Hey, what happened are you okay?" Danny asked.

I wiped my face and hoped I didn't look terrible, I rarely ever cried. "I really screwed up Danny." He stuck out his hand and helped me up.

"What happened?" asked again.

"I've made a ton of bad choices since I moved here. I was mean and hung out with the wrong people. And now those people know I'm a total looser." I said trying to stop crying. "Danny, what am I going to do?" I said looking into his vivid green eyes. It was then that it hit me I was dumping all of my troubles on a ghost that probably didn't care.

"You know I'm sure if you apologized to the right people they would accept you for who you really are." This surprised me, I guess he really did care.

"Are you sure that would work. And I don't even know who to talk to. I really screwed up didn't I?"

"Well I'm not gonna lie, you did screw up. I do know a few kids you could start with." Danny said his expression lightening.

"Who?" I asked half-heartedly.

"Sam Manson, Tucker Foley, and Danny Fenton." he said. He sounded very sure of himself.

"But they hate me, well at least Tucker and Sam do." I said sadly.

"Give them a chance. Why don't you think about it tonight." he said with a smile.

"I guess it couldn't hurt." I said as we began to walk towards me house. "Thanks Danny." I said smiling at him.
