“Have you noticed anything weird about Fenton lately?” Paulina asked Star, he face twisted into confusion. She had been noticing things about the loser, these changes had been small at first but now it was hard to ignore. She didn’t know if it was her imagination or not.
“Yeah, I have.” Star said, eyes flashing with barely hidden excitement to gossip. It was her specialty, Paulina knew. She was good at looks and getting what she wants, and Star was good at knowing everything about every one.
Like why Fenton has fangs, “Thank god, I would have hated to be told I’m going loco.”
Star nods, “His ears are sharp now! And have you seen how sharp his nails are?”
“Oh yeah, Dash was making fun of him for having acrylics, but those are not acrylics. They would be fun to paint though.” Paulina replied, thinking about how Fenton accidentally scratched Lancer’s hand and made him bleed. The nerd apologized so much about it, Mr. Lancer didn’t even know what to do.
With a shrug Star shook her head, “Manson beat you to it, she painted them black.”
“Right anyway, he also glows.”
Paulina blinks and then gasps, “Oh he does! It’s not the ghostly glow like my ghost boy but he’s definitely got this rosy glow to his cheeks.”
“It could be blush.” Star said, but they both knew she just said it to say it. She believed full heartedly that something was off about the nerd.
“What teenage boy wears blush? He already gets picked on, I think he’s not stupid enough to try and bring more attention to himself.”
The blonde nods along, looking at her phone, presumably to check for any new texts, “Yeah, speaking of! Did you hear his new lisp?”
“I did! He sounded like a dork.” Well, until his lisp went away and he had this really deep voice. Paulina would not admit that Fenton did have a nice voice after puberty. Good for him, not stuck in that squeaky in between like Dash and Kwan were at.
Star leans in conspiratorially, “I heard Mikey got a picture of him, and his tongue was split like a snakes.”
Paulina gasped, smacking Star’s shoulder, “shut up! Show me.”
Star holds out her phone proudly, so she wasn’t actually looking for texts, Fenton did in fact have a split tongue.
“Jeez, what do you think he is?” Paulina whispered, claws, weird tongue, glows, fangs, “Oh my god he’s a vampire.”
Star gasps, “He’s totally a vampirie!”
Danny sighs, ghost puberty sucked. It sucked even harder when ghost puberty happened to your human half and NOT THE GHOST HALF! Clockwork said something about the energy getting confused and choosing one half instead of the other. That just means that Phantom is going to look as human as the day he died and Fenton was going to be the scary one. Double fuck.
He sighed, biting his nail. It wouldn’t break, he’d broken a few files trying to trims them down. Sam broke out the animal nail clippers and he shattered the blade! Danny was not having a good time.
Speaking of things being hard, imagine getting fangs and a split tongue in the same week. His lisp was no joke, and Tucker liked to make fun of him for it. Hey at least his voice was starting to be way lower, so that’s cool. Free ghost testosterone without having to go to the doctor for testosterone! And double plus, his voice was different from Dan’s- one more thing to put between him and his evil future.
He passed by Paulina and Star gossiping in the hallways, and instead of slinking past them as he normally does, he feels someone tug at his hoodie.
“Uh Paulina? What do you want?” He asked, confused and crossing his arms.
“We know what you are.” Star said quietly.
Danny went into adrenaline overdrive, looking around covertly to see if anyone was listening, then he laughed awkwardly. No one was eavesdropping, but he still made an effort, “What do you mean?”
They couldn’t know he was Phantom, and they probably don’t know he’s half-dead. He hopes, “We know you’re a vampire!”
Danny stares at them, and then laughs so hard he cannot breath. He slapped his knee, his cackling turning into a hiss at the end, “A vampire! Oh my god- oh my god I have to tell Sam!”
