ANOTHER PART! I know a few of you asked for more of Never Be Alone, so here you go!

This whole thing will probably be 4-6 chapters long? Idk tbh.

Also just a reminder, Danny's only powers are enhanced hearing, invisibility, and intangibility. Also the ghost portal broke when Danny turned it on, causing ghosts to be trapped in the human world since natural portals don't exist. They attack Danny because they blame him. (This was explained in part 1 but I'm reminding you)

"How do you solve this again? I forgot the formula" Star asked as she shoved her homework into the middle of their study group.

Kwan grabbed it and looked it over.
"Oh, it's the one where you gotta 'take out the little man'. At least that's what Ms Rey said to help us remember"

Dash grinned then turned towards Danny.
"Guess I'll be taking you out. What's your favorite restaurant?"

Danny stared at him for a moment, eyes squinting behind his reading glasses. He raised his eyebrow once he got it and lightly punched Dash's arm.
"Stop making fun of my height before I start making fun of your squared shaped head"

Dash let out an offended gasp while the others burst into gut wrenching laughter.
"You do have a squared shaped head" Paulina mumbled, studying Dashs head.

"I do not!"

"Somebody's in denial" Star said in a song-song voice.

"Alright let's stop making fun of Dash and start studying for the math test. You guys gotta pass it in order to go on that trip" Danny said, flipping through his notes.

"I'm gonna miss you, Y'know. Even though you made fun of me" Dash said as he wrapped an arm around Danny's waist.

"You'll only be gone for a week" Danny reminded, kissing Dash on the cheek.

Kwan made a fake gagging noise.
"You guys are sickeningly adorable, please stop before I puke"

Dash just flipped him off before kissing Danny on the lips.
"STOP! MY VIRGIN EYES!" Kwan yelled, covering his eyes.

"Oh please! I think we all know your eyes are far from virgin!" Star said.

"...I don't Star, please elaborate. Why do you say that?" Kwan asked innocently.

"For one, you walked in on me and Dash full on making out" Danny pointed out.

"Why must you bring up these horrid memories" He whined as he rolled over so he was laying on his back.

"I'm going to put a pause on this conversation so we can pass the test. But let's restart it later because I'm honestly curious on where it was going" Everyone nodded in agreement to Paulina.

If they didn't pass, then they wouldn't be able to go on the trip for football players and cheerleaders. It was a reward for winning every football game they competed in, including state championship.

'It's only for a week' Danny kept reminding himself.

'A long and boring week'

————

Danny waved goodbye as Dash and his friends got on the bus. He was in Dash's hoodie, which Dash insisted him to keep, that was obviously too big for him. It was six in the morning, an hour before school actually started but Danny decided to come early and visit them before they left. It was still a bit dark and cold. Dash opened the bus' window and peered down at Danny.

"I'll make sure to call every night" Dash said.

Danny grinned and let out a laugh.
"I'm sure you will. Seriously though, have fun! I know you've earned it"

The bus engine started and Danny heard the bus driver tell Dash to shut the window. Dash looked back at Danny.

"I'll see you when I get back" Dash gave him a light smile before shutting the window. Danny watched as the bus pulled out of the parking lot and out of Danny's sight.

Danny let out a sigh and slowly made his way into the warm school.

Maybe it wouldn't be that bad.

————

Danny sat in his usual seat for his first class. Normally Dash sat next to him, but it was empty. The warning bell rang and everyone else slowly made their way into the class and onto their seats.

Soon Dane and his friends walked in. Dane had sprained his foot and was unable to go on the trip, his friends that were with him didn't pass the test.

The last one in was a girl. Danny recognized her as the new student. She's been there for a few weeks and probably just switched her first period. She sat next to a guy who Danny recognized as Tucker.

She had raven color hair, similar to his own, and purple eyes. Danny figured they were contacts. She had on a black tank top with black shorts and combat boots. She suddenly turned around in her seat and shot Danny a glare.

Danny felt his face heat up for being caught. He quickly looked away and pulled his notebook out of his backpack.

—————

The first couple of days were okay, nobody really talked to him or bugged him. However that one girl, who Danny later learned was named Sam, kept on sending Danny a glare whenever he got close to her and Tucker.

Tucker remained oblivious to it, just giving Danny a friendly grin before going right back to his phone. Danny made sure to steer clear of Sam whenever she was around.

He pressed another key on his piano out of boredom. It was six in the afternoon and his parents and twin were gone, eating Dinner at their favorite restaurant.

Danny heard the phone ring and he immediately picked it up once he saw it was Dash. He clicked answer before putting it to his ear.

Immediately, Dash told him how Kwan nearly got killed by a beaver on their rafting adventure and Danny laughed his ass off at the thought of Kwan screaming and fighting off an angered beaver with a wooden ore.

Which was exactly what happened.

"So how's life without me? Boring?"

Danny grinned.
"Peaceful"

He heard Dash let out a wounded sound.
"And here I thought you'd miss me!"

Still smiling, Danny shrugged which he knew Dash couldn't see.
"It's only been two days, I'll see you again in three more"

They both became quiet for a few minutes before Dash broke it.
"Hey, babe... people aren't... I mean, nobody's bothering you, right? I know the others were jerks to you before-"

Danny sighed and placed the cover back on his piano.
"Is this why you were so reluctant to go?"
By the silence he received, he was right.
"No, Dash. Nobody's bugging me. And please don't let that be the reason to stop you from going out and having fun, please. I am fully capable of handling it on my own, I've been doing it for years"

"Yeah, yeah I know... I just, I want you to be happy all the time. I can't help it"

Danny smiled.
"And I am happy, Dash. I'm the happiest I've been in 17 years"

Danny heard a car pull into his driveway and groaned.
"I gotta go now, but I'll talk you later"

"Alright, talk to you later. But If anyone does bug you, tell them to go-"

"Alright I'm stopping you there" Danny laughed which caused Dash to chuckle as well.

They both hung up and Danny tossed the phone onto his bed. He heard a knock on his door and tried his best not to groan in annoyance. He opened the door and saw his Mom, arms crossed and a frown on her face.

"Yes?" He asked, trying his best not to sound annoyed. Judging by her raised eyebrow, it didn't work.

"Watch your tone Daniel. Anyways, guess who we ran into at the restaurant" She asked.

Danny shrugged.
"Who?"

"Ms Rey, your math teacher. She told us how you and Dane were doing in her class. Dane is passing, but how come you're failing?" Her voiced raised a little towards the end, making Danny hate his sensitive hearing even more.

Of course, the only time his parents ever paid him any attention was when he was doing poorly in a class. The only reason they cared was because he's ruining their little family of geniuses.

"Guess I'm not that smart" It was a lie, of course. Between the ghost attacks that were becoming more frequent, his music, and the stress that kept him up all night, he never found enough time to study for every test.

Maddie took a deep breath in, trying to calm down.
"You're grounded until you bring your grades up, now give me your phone"

Danny turned around to roll his eyes. He then grabbed his phone from off his bed and gave it to her. She put it in her pocket. As soon as she was out of the doorway, he closed it.

"Since when is a C+ failing" He grumbled, sitting down at his piano. He opened the cover then grabbed some sheet music.

"Ignored me all month then the first time you even acknowledged my existence, you grounded me" Danny mumbled to himself, pressing a few piano keys.

He couldn't wait until graduation.

————

"Oops, sorry"

Danny would of immediately forgiven him, but the way it was said meant that they did it purposely.

Danny watched as Danes friend walked off, not bothering to try and help Danny pick up all his stuff he dropped when he was shoved.

He bent down and tried not to wince. He ran into another ghost on his way to school. He managed to escape but not before the ghost got a couple good hits.

He felt bad for what happened. He never meant to destroy their only chance of going back home, he only tried to make his parents finally proud of him.

He stood back up once he finished collecting his things and made his way towards his third period class.

He didn't notice a pair of violet eyes watching him.

————

"Get out of the way"

Danny was once again shoved to the side, a bit harshly this time, making him drop his textbook. Danny watched as once again Danes friends walked away.

Once again, Danny wasn't stupid. He noticed every time they walked near him, he got shoved. It was pathetic bullying and honestly Danny just about had it. He was about to bend down and pick up his textbook but somebody beat him to it.

He watched as Sam picked up the book and handed it to him. He stood in shock for a moment.

"Oh, thanks" He said, taking it. She just nodded before walking away, probably to meet with Tucker.

She never glared at him.

————

Three days had passed and it only got worse. Danny caught the Jocks sending glances his way whenever they were in class. Danny knew they were thinking about stuffing him in a locker.

Honestly, they were almost seniors. When were they going to grow up?

To make matters worse, his next class was Gym. He was tempted to skip but knew his parents would be pissed and probably take away his piano and other music equipment.

As soon as the bell rang, Danny got up and made his way towards the Locker rooms. He walked inside and into a bathroom stall to hide out until everyone left. Besides, the ghost left a huge bruise and he didn't want people to see.

Danny knew his brother would never physically hurt him, but he wouldn't stop others from doing it. That honestly made Danny dislike his twin more then he already did. He didn't hate him, he could never hate his family. However, that didn't mean he had to like them.

As soon as he didn't hear anymore voices, he walked out and got changed near his locker. He walked into the Gym just as the bell rang, ignoring the looks sent his way.

"Alright listen up!" Tetslaff yelled, getting everybody's attention. She held up two familiar red balls and everyone began to cheer, except the non athletic kids who groaned.

"Today we're playing dodgeball! Everyone split up into two teams" Everyone did as so, Danny on the left side of the gym while Dane and his friends made sure to be on the right.

She tossed several balls on both teams then blew her whistle, signaling the start of the game. Danny managed to get a few people out on the opposite team, including one of Danes friends he never bothered to learn the name of.

He dodged a couple of dodgeballs before bending down to pick one up. As soon as he touched it, a ball smacked him right in the face, making him fall. Tetslaff blew her whistle to pause the game and ran towards him.

"Fenton, you okay?" She asked. Danny sat up, rubbing his nose. It wasn't bleeding so that was good.

"Yeah" He said, getting up. Tetslaff turned around and demanded to know who threw it. Nobody said who which made her even angrier.

"It's fine, honest. It was probably just an accident" he reassured. Only that wasn't really the truth, he was certain he knew who did. However, if he called them out it would only make matters worse.

Tetslaff sighed then restarted the game. Danny immediately took notice of Sam who looked extra determined to win now. She managed to get five players out in under a minute, making him glad she was on his team.

Tucker stood by her, handing her the dodgeballs and trying his best not to get hit. Danny made his way towards them. He saw a ball heading their way and straight towards Sam. Before she got hit, he quickly reached out and caught it just in time.

That just so happened to be the ball of the last person standing. Tetslaff blew her whistle and declared Danny's team the winner.

"Holy shit that's a first" Tucker said.

"I don't think I've ever won before" Danny mumbled.

Sam looked over at him, surprised.
"Are you sure? You played like a pro. You're really good at dodging"

Danny gave her a grin.
"Thanks! My boyfriend says I'm good at dodging because I'm 'shorter then anybody can throw' which makes absolutely no sense"

Sam smiled.
"It really doesn't. Anyways, why do those assholes keep bugging you?" She asked, pointing towards Dane and his now angry jock friends.

Danny frowned, he didn't think anybody noticed.
"I honestly don't know. They just started bothering me Monday"

"Probably because the A-Listers aren't here to stand up for you. They're too cowardly to bug you in front of Dash" Tucker said.

Danny nodded.
"Yeah, that makes sense. I'm just glad the weeks almost over. Only two more days of this shit"

The three of them walked towards the locker rooms once the bell rang, chatting and laughing. Danny and Tucker walked into the boys locker room while Sam made her way towards the girls.

Danny quickly got changed and was about to leave when he was suddenly cornered by Danes friends. Dane was still by his locker, gathering his stuff.

"So I see your 'friends' are gone" One of them said, emphasizing the word friends.

Danny raised his eyebrow.
"Yeah.."

'They've been gone for nearly a week, dumbass' he thought, tempted to say it out loud.

"You do realize they're probably just using you, right?" Another told him.

"And for what reason would they do that? They have nothing to gain from it. Now fuck off" Danny harshly shoved his way through the group, now pissed. He knew they were lying, he wasn't stupid.

"Hey! Don't walk away from us" His shoulder was grabbed and he was harshly forced to turn around.

Before Danny could retort, he felt someone grab his arm and drag him away. He looked and saw Tucker who looked a bit nervous. They both ran out the locker room and into the hallway.

Sam was standing near the gym doors, giving them both a weird look.
"Tucker, gym ended ten minutes ago, why are you still out of breath?" She asked.

"I had to drag Danny away from some jerks who were about to beat him up" Tucker explained.

Sam frowned and stomped towards the locker room. They both had to drag her away to stop her from beating the crap out of the group of Jocks.

"Sam no! No committing crimes!" Tucker exclaimed.

————

Danny was happy. Dash would be there by the end of the school day. He also didn't eat lunch in the library since Sam and Tucker invited him to sit with them.

That's where they currently were, sitting at their respective table at the lunchroom. Sam turned towards Danny.
"Y'know, I kinda hated you when I first came here" She said.

"Yeah, I know. You glared at me constantly"

"I just saw you were friends with the a-listers and just assumed you were a rich brat like them" She stabbed her salad with her fork.

Danny frowned.
"They're not brats, they're actually quite nice and fun to be around. At least, Dash, Kwan, Paulina, and Star are. The others like those jocks are the rude assholes" Danny explained.

"I tried to tell her that! But would she listen? Nope! Do you ever listen to me, Samantha? I don't think so!" Tucker huffed, seeming to miss his mistake.

"What did you just call me?" She asked sweetly. Danny paused his eating and looked at Tucker with wide eyes.

"Dude you better run"

"Why- oh fuck"

Danny laughed as Sam chased Tucker outside, waving a fork threateningly in the air.

————

Danny waited outside near the busses, Sam and Tucker by his side. School had gone out three minutes ago. Danny smiled when he saw Dash's bus pull into the school.

It parked and the doors opened. Dash was the first person out and he immediately brightened when he saw Danny. He ran over and immediately engulfed him in a hug.

"Oh thank god you're alive!" He exclaimed.

Danny laughed.
"Why wouldn't I be?"

Dash pulled away.
"Because you never picked up whenever I called, I got worried since you always picked up"

Danny gave him a sheepish smile.
"Oh, I got grounded"

Dash rolled his eyes and frowned. Danny gave him a reassuring smile and kissed his cheek to distract him from going on a rant about how Danny's family should be happy to have a son like him and how they didn't deserve him.

"DANNY!" Paulina cheered, running up and hugging him.

"Life has been so boring without you! Also Dash never shut up about how much he missed you" She said, glaring at Dash.

"No I didn't!" Dash's face was beet red.

Danny gave him a toothy grin.
"Awww, you missed me that much?"

"We had to physically restrain him from coming here to make sure you were still alive" Star said as she walked off the bus, followed by Kwan.

"Changing the subject for the sake of Dash's damaged ego, did you survive without your amazing friends?" Kwan sent Danny a huge grin.

"I kinda miss the peace and quiet now" Danny joked, making Kwan pout.

"Peace and quiet? How can you say that when you almost witnessed a murder during lunch!" Tucker exclaimed, pointing towards a smirking Sam.

Everyone turned towards them curiously. Danny quickly introduced then.
"Oh, guys this is Sam and Tucker, Sam, Tucker this is-"

"I know who they are already, Tucker wouldn't shut up about how cool you guys are" Sam had to stop herself from rolling her eyes. Tucker blushed in embarrassment.

"I like your hair, have you ever thought about adding purple highlights? I think that would look amazing on you!" Paulina gushed, immediately running over towards Sam.

Sam froze, seeming a bit surprised.
"Oh.. I.. I never really thought about it"

"We should have a girls night sometime! We can dye our hair and watch movies" Star said.

Sam seemed to be in a stupor. Tucker laughed at her dumbfound expression.
"Sorry ladies, she's never been invited to a sleepover before so she doesn't know how to react. I'll do you a favor and react for her"

Tucker cleared his throat before speaking in a high pitched voice.
"O.M.G! I would totally love to! We can also play with each others hair and have a pillow fight and bake sparkly cupcakes-" Sam cut off Tucker's awful impression by kicking him in the shin.

"I don't sound like that!"

Danny laughed before looking back over at Dash who was staring at him with a small smile.
"What?" He asked, blushing.

"Oh nothing" Dash said as he leaned forward and gave him a kiss. After a moment he pulled back.

"I just feel so lucky to have you as my boyfriend"

"That was cliche but also really sweet"

"You guys make me wanna barf"

"Shut up Kwan"
