Glowing Isnt All That Bad

maybe glowing isnt all that bad

Sam only had to take one look at Danny before she was utterly confused.

What the hell happened to his hair! And what is he wea—Well actually it makes him look kinda hot…

She sunk down into her chair, a semi flirtatious half smile tugging on her lips.

Tucker rolled his eyes, before turning his attention back to his only guy friend. Who, at the moment, looked like a deer caught in headlights. Tucker didn't know that Danny was even capable of looking so terrified. Dash was standing next to him, grinning like an idiot, completely oblivious to Danny's discomfort. However Mr. Lancer seemed to be as observant as ever.

"Are you alright Mr. Phantom?"

Danny looked over at Mr. Lancer, and shook his head slowly. "Um…Yes, I'm—ok. I guess."

Mr. Lancer didn't look convinced.

"Please go take a seat Mr. Baxter."

The Jock didn't need to be told twice he gladly took a spot right behind Paulina, Danny was going to go sit down as well but the overweight English teacher stopped him.

"Not yet Mr. Phantom, you have to introduce yourself to the class first." Mr. Lancer explained as he leaned against his desk. Danny instantly went ridged and shifted uncomfortably under everyone's gaze. Especially Paulina's, the way she was hungrily looking him over made him wonder if she mistook him for a piece of meat.

Mr. Lancer tried to encourage him again. "Go on tell us a little bit about yourself."

"Uh….right…..Um…" Danny said as he stumbled over his words. "Well, I prefer to be called Danny for starters; not Phantom. I'm sorry if I come off as awkward. Everything just feels so strange."

"Well I would imagine. This is your first time coming to school."

"No that's not what's strange. I've been inside this school before. I used to sit in on classes sometimes; I'm surprised no one noticed the cold spots." Danny explained with a shrug; happy to see that his English teacher was buying his quick-second lies. "It's just strange being here as my human half…." He finished lamely.

"Alright…..I guess that's understandable" Mr. Lancer said slowly, before opting to change the subject. "Do you have any hobbies?"

"I like to draw…" Danny offered.

"And?"

"That's it." Danny said with a shrug. "Can I sit down now?"

Mr. Lancer raised an eyebrow. "I suppose so."

Paulina repressed a squeal when Danny walked passed her. She turned to watch him choose a seat, expecting him to sit down right behind Dash, though it seemed that Danny had different Ideas. She watched as the love of her life Stopped in front of Sam. Sam Manson! The schools snobby little Goth freak with an ego the size of Texas! She let lose a growl, her eyes burning in Sam's direction. The audible snap of the pencil she was holding barely registered in her mind as she watched her future boyfriend shyly ask Sam if he could sit in the seat next to her. The seat that was normally reserved for that loser, Fenton!

"I don't see why not." The Goth said with a shrug before a half smile tugged on her purple glossy lips. "I'm Sam by the way." She explained before jabbing her thumb in the techno geek's direction. "And that annoying excuse of a human being is Tucker."

"Hey!" Tucker huffed. "I resent that!"

Danny laughed; he could always count on his friends to lighten the mood! And if he played this right, hopefully, they could be 'Phantom's' friends too. He'd have to be careful though, he didn't want anyone to make any unneeded connections between a certain ghost boy and the son of the local ghost hunters.
