Would You Believe Me If I Showed You?

Here's the deal. Missy is back from School At Sea and eager to receive forgiveness from Sam, who is dating Carly. CarlyxSamxMissy

It was not long ago that Missy Robinson had tried to steal my best friend from me.

And it was even a shorter period of time that my phone went off with a text message saying

It's me, Missy, and I'm coming back in a week.

She was coming back? I couldn't believe I hadn't changed her number.

How many times had I put up with her bullshit to keep my friendship with Carly was uncountable. Now she was returning to us, trying to steal Carly away from me again. I wanted to break something - particularly her phone.

In one week my life would go from bad... To worse. No more was I going to take, I decided. I was going to stand up to her this time.

The week went by too fast for my likings.

The first thing I heard when I woke at my house was a singsong voice. "Sam, wake up!"

I blinked to find Missy giving a not so evil smile to me. "Missy." I frowned in a way only I can.

She looked down at me with a shy smile. "Your mom let me in."

"Remind me to tie her up later..." Missy chuckled. "What do you want, Missy?"

"I want to apologize." She looks at me with her devious manipulative eyes.

"Yeah? Well you had your chance to apologize long ago."

Missy shifted her gaze downward. "I've changed, Sam... I was reminded day after day of what I put you through because I was sick. And I didn't even really like the way Carly had changed."

"She changed?" I asked, curious. I hadn't known Carly when she was seven.

Missy nodded slowly, "She was more daring, less careful, and a tomboy."

I thought about the Carly I knew. She was totally different. "Wow, time can change people... if you're telling me the truth."

The redheaded girl frowned, "I don't blame you for not believing me. Well, I'll see you at school."

With that, she left. I was as confused as ever.

I went to school and saw Missy had the locker in between hers. She wasn't even bothering trying to talk to Carly - who had agreed with me to give her the cold shoulder.

Life was going to be hard with her crossing me in the hall everyday, "Hey, Sam," Carly smiles at me giving me a big hug.

"What did she say to you?" I whispered.

She better not have said anything to hurt her. My Carly, who I was going to protect through thick and thin.

"She didn't say anything... but she said she talked to you this morning..." Carly gave me a questioning look. The look that asked me what was going on.

I gave her a smile, "We didn't say anything, love," I lied. I didn't want her to think anything was up.

Carly smiled, "Okay, can you believe she actually came back?"

I rolled my eyes, "She hasn't tried anything to snatch you up yet has she? I swear I'll punch her lights out..."

Carly grabbed my fist and opened it, "I'll see you in class, my little bad girl."

"Does Mama get a kiss goodbye?" I said with a hopeful face.

She giggled and quickly pecked me on the lips, "Later, Sam."

Missy was watching the whole time. "You and Carly, huh?" she asked.

"That's right," I turned to my locker, "so good luck trying to snatch her up."

Missy smiled, "I think it's great you guys can be public like that. I had a girlfriend at sea, and when her dad found out, she was sent home."

"Harsh," I comment in a nonchalant voice. Like it was perfectly normal for us to be discussing relationship drama.

"Yeah, well, I'll see you around," She said, smiling awkwardly. She crossed by me as a normal kid would, but it felt different as if she were fifteen inches closer than she actually was.

I needed to get to class, so I could sleep.

Review, and please tell me how I did with this first chapter.
