It was all official, Phantom was now a member of the United States. He had his Identification cards and all his ID's and is recorded as an emancipated adult living with the Fenton's. All of the proper paperwork had been completed, and Tucker was able to get it before the week was over. So not only had they been able to introduce him to Mr. Fenton with totally legit identification, and a concrete background, but they were also able to get him registered into the 11th grade at Amity High.

Danny could already tell school was going to be hectic for their little group now that Phantom was there, and it wasn't even because he was getting bullied, no.

Phantom made their school look like one of those cliche and dumb drama movies where the poor innocent socially awkward freshman had a crush on the hottest guy in school, who didn't know they even existed. The only plot twist though was the innocent freshman was none other than every straight girl and every homosexual guy in Amity high.

So far, it was only fourth period and Phantom has already had 10 phone numbers thrown at his head, and 4 home addresses slipped in his backpack. 

Danny had been there to see almost every girl that has walked up to Phantom asking for his name, and if he would want to go on a date with them. He had even been there to see Paulina when she ran up to Phantom and kissed him on the cheek before running away giggling, much to both boys annoyment. The girl always was one to leave a dramatic impression, for as long as Danny could remember, so it wasn't unexpected.

Even some of the female teachers seemed slightly distracted during class, but the male biology teacher seemed to be having the most trouble with Phantom's presence. 

Danny rolled his eyes every time Mr. Mac Donald said orgasm instead of organism, and all the raven could do was groan in annoyance, as the rest of the class laughed hysterically, when the teacher got to the part about homosapians and accidentally pronounced it like homosexual. Phantom didn't seem to be amused by any of this, but Danny was sure that he knew what those words meant.

While Phantom seemed to be completely chill about roaming the halls despite the drooling animals all around him, Danny was doing everything he could to avoid getting stuck in certain crowds. His father had filed a lawsuit against both Dash and Quan's families, and now Danny had been doing everything he could to avoid both jocks for the whole week since the incident on the peer.

Phantom, though he didn't say much about Danny's behavior, found it annoying that Danny was so afraid of two dumb humans. He couldn't imagine why someone so smart, who possessed so much dignity, would be so afraid to walk the hallways. Danny was acting like a chicken trying to run away from a butcher, only without a head. It had been funny that morning, but now Phantom just wished Danny would get his damn books and go to class and stop walking around like a ninja on a mission.

Right now Phantom was walking with Danny as the kid made his way to his locker, Sam and Tucker had a different class so they were nowhere in sight. This was Phantom's first day, so he had no idea where his next class was, which was the only reason he was still walking next to this dumbass. Otherwise, he would have been long gone and left Danny to his demise.

"How long are you going to keep hiding from that couple of retards?" Phantom asked, holding his own English books in his arm and regarding Danny with a semi-annoyed scowl.

Danny nervously unlocked his locker and put his biology book away, grabbing his English materials as he answered, "I'm not hiding," the raven insisted defensively.

Phantom's eyebrows rose in skepticism, he gave Danny a half smirk and responded sarcastically, "Yeah, and I have never once been tempted to eat you alive." A familiar scent filled his nostrils, and curiosity invaded his brain as he glanced behind the kid in denial. Now he really wished he had popcorn.
