Chapter 76 - 24
Chapter 24: "How to Crash a Party and Accidentally Commit Arson (On Purpose)"
In which I gain new powers, ignite questionable morals, and light up more than just the dance floor.
So there I was, zooming through the streets on a motorcycle like some leather-clad action movie protagonist. The wind was in my face, my sister was probably still trying to process today's emotional rollercoaster, and I—Danny Phantom, teenage ghost guy with a part-time life coach—was thinking about whether it was too early in life to start referring to myself in the third person.
Then Naruto's voice echoed in my head.
Danny, it's time for some heroism.
Heroism. Right. No pressure.
I blinked back into reality just in time to see Naruto (technically still me, because spirit body sharing is as weird as it sounds) veer the bike into a slower cruise. His eyes—my eyes—narrowed, scanning the crowd with that "I know something shady is happening" look that anime protagonists pull off way better than real people.
And that's when I saw her.
Star.
Yes, that Star. The one who always hung around with Pauline like a backup dancer with a little too much glitter. The kind of girl who treated popularity like currency and sarcasm like a second language.
And right now, she was walking arm-in-arm with some older guy who looked like he belonged in one of those crime dramas where they always say "We've got a situation."
