Hey guys! Thanks for reading! Don't forget to review!

Danny's POV

"Danny! Over here!" Tucker yells from under the tree we hang out under the few times that I get to school early.

"Have you gotten your schedule yet?" I ask gh-Andrew.

"Yeah, why?"

"Let me see it so I can compare ours." I tell him as we reach Sam and Tucker. "Hey guys. This is my friend Andrew. He just moved here and is starting here at Casper High today. I hope it's alright if he hangs out with us."

"Yeah, no problem. The name's Tucker. I'm your go to man for anything technology." Tucker says shaking Andrew's hand after he hands me his schedule.

"Sam." she says shaking his hand as well.

I look down and see that dad must have pulled some strings to get him in all of my classes. I shrug and hand it back to him.

"Of course he got you in all the same classes as me." He has a similar reaction as me. "You know, I would think I could take care of myself enough if I had at least one class without you."

"You act as though it's my fault. He's your dad, I blame you. Besides I wouldn't even have to leave my library if you would just get your act together and do better at school."

"Hey, it's not like I can help it."

"You could just ignore them. Some of them just want to get out of there every once in a blue moon, I may not be one of those, but I'm sure that they would rather enjoy some normal human contact sometimes."

"You really don't understand anything. Let's just go to class." I say and start walking into the school, Sam and Tucker hurry to catch up to me.

"What was that all about?" Sam asks as quietly as she can.

"Don't worry about it. It doesn't concern you." I say putting on a mask of indifference.

~~~Sam's POV~~~

"Don't worry about it. It doesn't concern you." Danny says.

Tucker and I share a sad look. It's happening again. There is always a part of Danny that he wouldn't let us see, and we just got too close. Obviously this Andrew boy has seen it which is surprising considering the fact that he and Danny are clearly not on good terms. I wonder what happened between them. Maybe it has something to do with why Danny won't tell us anything.

~~~Andrew's POV~~~

After the fight with Danny, I feel horrible. I hate how bad I feel about it. I hate him. I always have and I always will. Now if only I could make myself believe that. I spend most of the day reading my books and only talking when the teacher calls on me. I go to my locker after school, which is right next to Danny's, and I grab the lunch I brought. I decided that, even though I don't have to eat except for every week or so, I would bring a lunch to look normal. I glance at Danny getting his lunch and start walking off to find somewhere quiet to eat. I still don't see how Clockwork thinks I will benefit from this.

After lunch, I have math. I am not too worried considering I can do just about anything school related without any difficulty. I already know everything considering I graduated college at age 18 when I was alive with a degree in literature, and after I died, I took online classes and now have a degree in several different majors.

I am sitting in class reading, having already finished the assignment, when I feel a tap on my shoulder from behind. I decide to ignore it since Danny is the one sitting behind me. He taps a few more times.

"Hey Andrew."

"What?" I ask, closing my book and turning around. I can't help but notice how cute he looks while he is blushing.

"Do you think you could help me? I don't really understand what's happening."

"Maybe if you would stop chasing us down when you should be studying you would."

"I only go if one of you comes near enough to make my ghost sense go off."

"Well maybe you should consider proposing a truce."

"What do you mean?"

"If ghosts are allowed to roam free, they can't start trouble. That way you just need to check the news every so often to see if there is anyone hurting people and you will have more time for your studies."

"Do you really think that will work?"

"Only one way to find out. Now, back to math." I tell him.

"Thanks, and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ruined your book. And when I did I should have apologised right away."

"Don't worry about it. It's in the past."

Normally, if somebody ruined one of my books, I would never forgive them, but for some reason, I just can't help but enjoy spending time with him. But we can't be together. We are enemies. Aren't we? As he is doing a problem how I showed him to, he sticks his tongue out in concentration. Now I am the one who is blushing. Why must he be so goddamn cute!

~~~Line Break~~~

Danny's POV

It has been a month since Andrew started school at Casper High. I decided to try out his suggestion of a truce after about a week. It took a little while, but now, things are going great. I am getting enough sleep at night, I have enough time to study, and it is rare for a ghost to actually attack. Now it's more like I'm protecting the ghosts from the humans.

There is, however, one major problem. I think I'm starting to get a crush on Andrew. Okay so maybe starting is an understatement. But I can't admit that to anyone; especially him. Right now we are walking to the Nasty Burger. It is Saturday but I texted Andrew to see if he would like to come hang out with us. I expected him to refuse like he normally did, but it didn't hurt to ask.

"So, Andrew, where exactly do you live?" Sam asks, causing Andrew and I both to start choking on our drink.

"No offense, Sam, but I would rather not make that public information."

"Come on man. It's not like we'll tell anyone." Tucker tries.

"Guys, I think it's best if we leave it alone. If he doesn't want to tell us, then he doesn't have to."

"Easy for you to say, you've probably already been there. You two seem to have a long history."

"Actually, the time you guys met me was only the second time we've ever seen each other." supplies Andrew.

"Welcome to Nasty Burger. How can I help you?" we hear as we reach the counter. We order our food and sit in silence for a while.

"So, does anybody want to go to my house after lunch to play video games? I just got the newest version of doomed. It isn't supposed to come out until next year." Sam suggests to break the silence.

"Totally!" beams Tucker.

"Sure. Why not. Thanks to Andrew I have all my homework done already." I say.

"You guys go on without me. I just figured I would come hang out for a little while. I would come but a certain stopwatch requested my presence as soon as we finish lunch."

"Stopwatch?" Sam questions.

"Don't worry about it, guys. Did he tell you what for?" I ask. I am surprised to see him smirk.

"He's going to tell me why."

"What! What about me? He never said anything about me!"

"That's because it isn't time for you to know. You know him. He always does what's for the best."

"Stupid stopwatch. Ow!" I say glaring up at nothing in particular and sticking out my tongue, knowing he is watching.

Andrew is basically dying a second time from laughing, and Sam and Tucker look like they have no clue what is going on. I try to push Andrew and he grabs my arms and holds them up so I can't get loose. He puts his face right up to mine. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. You won't win. One thing you should know about me, I'm always on top." My face goes firetruck red in point two seconds flat.

"I-I wasn't trying-" then his face goes just as red as mine, if not more. He lets go of me and scoots away.

"That's not what I meant! I just meant in a fight! I swear! You know what I'm going home. See you guys on Monday."

As soon as he is out the door, Sam and Tucker get huge smiles on their faces. "You have a crush on Andrew!" Sam exclaims in a whispered shout.

"N-no I don't." but my still red face and the fact that my heart beat is as fast as a normal human's, betray me.

"Dude, it's totally obvious." Tucker continues for Sam.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Let's go play doomed." I say getting out of my seat.

~~~Line Break~~~

We are in the game room at Sam's mansion playing the new doomed game when the subject of Andrew comes up again.

"So." Sam starts.

"So?" I question.

"Come on dude, when are you going to admit you have a crush on him."

"I do not."

"Do too." they say.

"Do not."

"Do-"

"Too." they finish for me. I glare at them.

"Do not." "Do too." "Do not." "Do too." "Do not!" "Do too!" "Of course I do!"

"He's handsome and kind, he has the most beautiful eyes, he likes to read, he's smart, funny, and the way he crinkles his nose when someone mentions him having to interact with humans is just- Arrgg!"

"Damn! We said a crush, not totally head over heels." Sam says.

"You should ask him out."

"I can't."

"Why not. You obviously like him. You seem to trust him with things you don't even trust us with. I wouldn't be surprised if he liked you too." Sam questions, sounding slightly hurt at the part about not trusting them.

"Some of the things he knows about me are only due to circumstance. In fact, that's the only reason we know each other in the first place. We can't be together."

"Why not?" says Tucker.

"Because that's just how things work." I snap. They look at me slightly hurt.

"Danny, you know you can tell us anything right. We will always be there for you." Sam comforts. I take a shaky breath.

"Not with this. It would be to much. You would be afraid of me if I told you. You would hate me, and tell everyone."

"We would never be afraid of you dude. Or hate you."

"You don't know that."

"But we do. Even if you were a ghost we wouldn't hate you. If you hadn't noticed, Phantom started letting ghosts hang around Amity the past few weeks as long as they weren't hurting anyone."

"What if I told you that I am Phantom."

"What do you mean? You're two different people." Sam says, confusion written on her face.

"I'm half dead. I can switch between Phantom and Fenton at will alright." I say standing up and heading to the window. I transform and fly home before either of them can respond.

~~~Line Break~~~

No one's POV

"He's Phantom." Tucker says.

"He's dead." Sam adds.

"Actually he said he was half dead."

"We have to talk to him. He thinks that we hate him."

"Sam, I don't think that is such a good idea."

"What do you mean? He needs to know that he's still our friend. You said it yourself, even if he's a ghost we still won't hate him."

"Yes but he needs to get used to the idea that we know for now. He needs the time to think just like we will need some time to get used to having a ghost for a best friend."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"At least things make more sense now."

"Yeah but how does Andrew play into this? You don't think he's a ghost too do you?"

"I don't know. We can talk to them about it on monday."
