In the middle of a lecture on The Cay, a hand shot up like a whip.

“Mr Lancer! I need to go to the bathroom!”

The teacher turned around from the notes he was writing up on the chalkboard. He eyed Danny, noting the boy’s jittery legs and wide eyes.

"Well,” he started slowly. “Of course, Mr Fenton but are you sure that-?"

"Yep, nope, I totally really, really, really need to go to the bathroom right now. Can I go?" The boy looked like he was seconds away from bolting from his seat. His eyes darted from Lancer to the door and back to Lancer. “Please?”

"You can go but Mr Fenton, you do realise-?" The teacher was once more interrupted as Danny hastily grabbed his backpack and ran out of the classroom.

"ThanksMrLancerI’llbebackinjustasecondIpromisebye!"

The door was opened and shut before the teacher could utter another word. The door banged against the metal jamb with a crack and the class was sent into an awkward silence. Slowly, the class, teacher included, turned their eyes to the boy’s friends at the back of the room. Tucker was wheezing into his hands while Sam muttered softly to herself.

It was Star who broke the silence first.

“Did Danny just forget that we all know he’s Phantom?”

Tucker’s wheezing erupted into a full belly laugh and Sam slammed her head against her desk with a swear.

Mr Lancer frowned. Really, it was a wonder no one had figured everything out sooner.
