We Accept The Love We Think We Deserve Chapter 1:

Sam's POV: As Samantha walked up to her best friends house she flashed back on old memories. She had always felt a twinge of jealousy for Amanda. Even as a child Amanda had been gorgeous. Long blonde hair that formed into golden ringlets. She was always the popular kid, and not because she bullied people and fought her way there, but because she was nice. She made sure to befriend everyone she met. She always took the lead. Samantha wasn't only jealous of her looks and confidence, but it seemed to Samantha that Amanda always got the all the guys. They were tripping over themselves just to talk to Amanda... "Forget it," she mumbled to herself, "you'll never be as good as her." When she arrived at the front door to Amanda's old fashioned gothic mansion, her best friend opened the door to meet her. "SAM!" exclaimed Amanda, "what took you so long? I have been waiting for," she glanced at her new expensive iPhone 5, "eighteen minutes!"

"I'm soooo sorry! I would've been here earlier but my car wouldn't start so my mom had to drop me off!" Sam explained clearly exasperated.

"Whatever, but we have to hurry or we'll be late!" Amanda replied.

"I don't know why you set me up like this but you know I don't like surprises! Especially ones that include a guy!" Sam said.

"Aww c'mon! Double dates are cute, and I promise that you will love Aaron! Besides me and Eddie both agree that y'all would be perfect together!" Amanda assured her.

"Whatever, but I'm going to blame it on you when this whole plan goes down the drain!" Sam said back and stuck her tongue out at her best friend.

"Okay sure! But it won't! Come on! Get in we will be late!"

Sam got in her best friends white convertible Mercedes. "Let's go!," Sam said with a sudden optimistic point of view on the situation. She was excited to see the surprises the night held for her...
