A/N: I have like nine ideas for fanfics write now, not including this one. Most of these ideas are for multi-chapter fics, so I will be posting a lot soon. Of course, the times when I can post are limited, because my mom says I HAVE to go to school. Psshh! Moms…

Just a Teenager-Chapter 1

Lancer POV

Sigh.

The stack of ungraded papers towers over the pile of graded ones.

This is going to be a long night.

I finish the paper I was grading and grab another.

I glance at the name on the top.

Written out in an untidy scrawl, Danny Fenton is spelled out on the top of the page.

Oh, Mr. Fenton.

He's infuriating.

But, I worry about him sometimes.

He has purple rims around his eyes, making him look like a raccoon.

He looks like he never sleeps.

He looks so small compared to the other students.

He looks like he never eats.

His face and arms are littered with bruises and cuts.

He looks like he's been beaten.

Beaten!

Is he abused?

No, I've met his parents. They seem too….too…..too

Too, ahem, friendly to beat their child.

I don't understand.

He never does his homework on time, but it seems like he really tries.

He doesn't seem like a slacker, because he always pays attention in class.

Well, he pays attention in the little bit of class he actually attends.

He'll ask to go to the nurse or the bathroom and not come back for half an hour.

Or not come back at all.

God, I just don't understand!

Could it be a gang? Could it be bullies? Child abuse? Mental problems?

It's my job to help my students.

And, I WILL do my job.

Daniel Fenton, prepare to be helped!

A/N: That was pretty long for my standards! Anyways, this WILL be a multi-chapter fic. Also, I've been doing a lot of revealing fics lately. If this annoys you, or you would like me to move on to other fics, then I will take that into account, and not do anymore. Well, I don't own anything, and please review! Until next time, guys!
