A Picture In Black And White
[Author's Note: YAY! Finally the new season of American Dreams! Anyway, This fanfic is about the last episode, which was on Oct. 5. When you read this it might be far away from then. There might be 6 other episodes! But this takes place after the one on the 5th. lol!
Anyway, I just want to say a few things before we begin. This is about Sam and Meg, because both my mom AND me think he likes Meg, but they aren't going to get together- yet. Just read it and you'll see. If you saw the last episode (on Oct. 5th) Meg and Luke broke up again ; ( Also, I'm planning on writing a LOT more American Dreams fanfics, so if you like this one, you should read my other ones. lol!
I do not own American Dreams. I'm just a big fan! : )]
Part One:
Sam watched the TV in Mr. Prior's shop, while sweeping the floor. He saw everyone dancing on the black and white screen. The camera was showing two girls, one of them was one of Sam's friends. Her name was Meg Prior.
Sam was different. In that time, anyways. Sam's skin was the color black. Sam was on the track team, and he had just got his first job. He was going to work at Meg Prior's old boyfriend's (Luke) shop, but when he found out Meg went there everyday, he instantly didn't do it. That's why he was working at Mr. Prior's shop now.
Now, don't start thinking things. Sam didn't take that job because he didn't like Meg. Like I said, Meg was one of Sam's friends. Just a while ago, Meg had gotton in trouble for sticking up for Sam at her school, and now they didn't get to see each other much anymore. Sam was so close to getting that job, but he just wasn't brave enough.
Anyways, Meg Prior, and her friend, Roxanne, were on the black and white screen, dancing to the music like they didn't have a care in the world. Meg waved at the camera and smiled like she did everytime. Sam smiled, but of course Meg didn't see him. He continued sweeping.
The only times Sam really saw Meg now was when she passed him in the halls when she was on her way to the marching band. And even then all they had was a few minutes.
Meg was white. Sam was black. In those days, those colors didn't match.
*
"Are you sure you're alright about Luke?" asked Roxanne.
"Rox, I told you already! I'm fine!" said Meg. They were still dancing on Bandstand.
"But don't you remember LAST time you broke up?"
"Sure I do! But, I mean, he drives me crazy sometimes!" Meg replied, waving at the camera again.
Roxanne rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say. Anyway, how is JJ doing?"
"He's still at the marines. I heard this other guy cheated to something...."
"At what?"
"I don't know. I didn't get the whole story."
"Oh," Roxanne started dancing more slowly. "Is he upset?"
"I think-" said Meg.
*
Sam left the store and headed back home, hoping to get back by dinner. He passed Luke's shop, not seeing Meg there that time. He saw Luke inside, who looked up, and Sam quickly looked away, and continued walking. In the corner of his eye he saw Luke smile a bit.
*
As Sam walked, his thoughts turned back to Meg. Like they did everyday. Every single day he'd remember the day they met, and the moment when they were in the middle of the riots...... Every single moment with her would pass through his head.
But Meg had always said that they were friends. And, his mind would remind him, black and white didn't mix. Then why did he like her so much?
Probably because she one of the very few white people that actually treated him like everyone else. His thoughts flew back to when Meg's brother, JJ, had been racing him in track and hurt his leg. Sam had tried to get people to stop in their cars, to help him, but no one stopped.
Because he was black.
Then he remembered when he had got in a fight when he tried to stick up for his friend, and he had gotton a cut on his face.
That was when Meg had stood up for him. They had met later on, and Meg had touched his face then, then they had just stared at eachother for a while, then she had left. Her hand had been soft.
But he knew he'd never get with Meg. It would never be ment to be. No one would let them be together anyways. No. He and Meg were only friends. It was too dangerous to fall in love with her.
But could he help it?
As Sam walked down the street alone, everything seemed to go by in slow motion. All the white people walking down the streets were a blur. The cars were a blur. Everyone's faces he could see though. He hurried home as fast as he could.
*
"So how was your first day, Patty?" asked Meg's mom. Patty was Meg's younger sister, and had just skipped a grade, and was now at Meg's school.
"It was fine." said Patty and the two sisters shared a smile, which was pretty unusual.
"That's good news." said Mr. Prior.
Meg's younger brother, Will, was sitting across the table. The mother and the father exchanged looks.
Will had a problem with his leg, and they had been debating for a while about if they should try an operation to fix it. The mother had done tons of research, but the father was still not convinced. Will just ate quietly, looking cute in his green jacket.
JJ, of course, was not there. He was still in the marines. He would be home again soon though.
*
"How was work today, Sam?" asked Sam's father over dinner.
"Fine, just like everyday." he replied, coming out of his thoughts.
"Good." Sam's cousin was at the sink in the kitchen, and glanced at Sam, who glanced back.
Sam's younger sister was on the other side of the table.
