Hey everyone, now, I know I keep saying that I'm on vacation and stuff but I just want to say that I've been struck with inspiration! this story is based on a true story with me and my (new) best friend Tevin,I know that If I tweaked it alittle, it'd be a great story, so her it is, hope you like it.
Sam's POV, Italics are thoughts
Walking down the crowded hallway filled with freshman on a monday morning, I made my way past my usual group of people I hate, the jocks, the cheerleaders, the list can go on and on, but I'll spare you the time. I sat down in my homeroom with my best friends Danny and Tucker. Mondays are so slow and so boring! sometimes I wish I never got out of bed.
The bell rang signaling that the usual people that are always late, walk in strutting like it's all ok, the teachers not even giving a crap.
in three...
two...
one
"sorry I'm late, I uh, had something to take care of." Paulina said walking in and snickering while sitting down two seats infront of me. Paulina was the kind of person who can manipulate adults, intimidate those who don't like her, and get every guy in town if she wanted to. unfortuantely, that includes Danny.lately she's been messing with me and danny, but she hasn't said anything today...yet.
hey fran," she said turning around to face me, I glared at her. she knows very well what my name is. "It's sam." I hissed correcting her. "whatever, do you and danny go out or something?" she asked smirking, I clutched my pencil so hard, I broke it in half. "no!" I hissed. "oh, well, it says different in the main hallway in the front of the school." she said, and as if on cue, everyone went outside to go check it out. the only people left were danny tucker and I.
I glanced up at the teacher, who was reading a magazine at her desk, and muttered, "come back, with out your education...ooh, that color is nice in my kitchen." so we left the classroom into a hallway filled with snickering freshmen and whispers heard all around me. my cheeks felt hot, I glanced at danny, who gaveme this worried look and I turned around togive him a reassuring one.
"don't worry." I said to him. "ah, sam, don't yell, or kick anything, but, uh." Tucker trailed off looking behind me, he gave me a warning look not to turn around but I took the chance. ''sam--" danny stopped and I froze in place when I saw my name and danny's name all over the walls in red lipstick. my eyes widend in horror.
DANNY AND SAM FOREVER!
That was what was what was all over the walls, the main entrence was the longest hallway in school. and it was everywhere. like in the movie "I know what you did last summer." It was all over the walls. my face grew hot and my eyes started to water? they did, to my surprise and dismay.
I glanced at danny who's face was flushed, what made it worse was that the laughter was heard as far as you can possibly hear. Paulina was high-fiving her crew while appyling red lipsickand laughing along with the rest of the school. Ifelt my stomach, like there were butterflies in there, I only got that feeling when I made-out ( fakeout!) but that was a good feeling, this one sucked. my brething became deep and my heart was pounding.
it was the only thing I heard in my ears, my cheeks burned and then the feeling of crying came up, I usually don't cry, not in public, but I ran to the girl's bathroom, the guys not too behind.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and saw my eyeliner running down my cheeks, and my cheeks red like hell. my breathing was still deep, and then I felt a presence I couldn't see, but I felt something on my shoulder.
Danny.
I jumped a little startled, he doesn't do that often to me, he became visible, and looked into his eyes, he was still in his normal mode, his blue eyes and sypathetic smile that meant it was goning to be okay turned into an angry face and his eyes were bright neon green. he was pissed, so was I.
"A guy and a girl can't be just friends anymore can they!" he yelled angrliy. "what the hell are we gonna do?" I said wiping the eyeliner off of my face with some toilet paper from the stall. "if we give the people what they want, they'll surround us like the media does to the celebrity couples." he said pacing. then I broke out into a smile.
"but if we give the people what they want, they'll stop the taunts and cut the crap." I said cheerfully. "but how are we supposed to do that?" he asked still pacing, then he stopped and got out a dopey grin. the same grin that made me smile. "won't it be, I don't know, weird?'' he said standing infront of me.
"well, if we act like it is, but if we don't everyone will buy it." I said.
you just wanna be his girlfriend!
do not!
do too!
so, what your'e saying is that we go out, to get them off of our backs, but it's not a real relationship?" he asked trying to understand it. I nodded. "but not if you don't want to," I said, he's shy and stuff when it comes to dating or anything remotely related to it, I think it's adorable.
"no, no, I really want to," He said quickly, then turned pink, slightly. "so as far as they know, we're going out, this is gonna be the biggest prank in the history of history!" he said happily. he smiled. he looked so cute when he smiled.
this is gonna be so much fun!
but it's not real.
well, yea, but if we're gonna be acting like a couple, than, maybe...it'll be...
real? is that what your'e hoping to get from this?
but this is all fake right? like the fake-out make out?" I asked. I knew the awnser...I think he did too. "yea, but, if worse comes to worse and we have to really convince them...we'd have to kiss infront of them..." he said that last part almost in a whispor, my cheeks were warm, I giggled nervously. "we, um, better get going." I suggested.
He walked out invisible, (thankgoodness for powers! very handy powers!) and met me outside visible with tucker and the crowd,( we couldn't have been in there for no more than ten minutes.) He gave me this look, the one that he gives that witch Paulina anytime he sees her.
ok, time to make this look good.
he hugged me, and the crowd outside watching "Awwed". while Paulina came up to us angry. "they're lying! she's too ugly to be with him!" she yelled. "hey, don't to talk to her like that! she's way more beautiful and smart than you'll ever be!"Danny yelled back (A/n: tevin said something like that to someone at school, it was halirious look on her face when she heard it, we haven't talked to her since! HA!) wow, that almost sounded sincere.
what if he was telling the truth from his heart?
I don't know, I guess that's pretty sweet of him, when was the last time he defended you?
he's my 'boyfriend' aren't they supposed to be like that? all defensive?
Paulina was shocked, she gasped, and her eyes were wide, everyone else had the same reaction, especially Tucker, I think his exact words were "holy crap." or something. to tell you the truth, I had the same reaction. my heart started beating fast when he took my hand and we all went to class.
as far as they know, we were going out since two seconds ago.
"wow, that was some good acting." I said to him. "uh, yea," he responded, he was alittle spaced out. "did he just defend you?" Tucker asked wide-eyed. "yep, boyfriends do that don't they?" I said to him, he stopped in his tracks. "so you two are going out? man it's about time! I knew you two would end up together, with ember's help or not." He said smirking and humming ember's song.
we explained eveything to him, and by second hour, the entire school knew about "Us". man this isn't even a real relationship and Paulina is pissed off! "hey how long do you think this should go on?" Tucker asked at lunch while sitting down to a tray with meatloaf on it.
ew.
"how about a week?" I suggested. "the relationship or the taunting to go away?" danny asked swallowing his sandwhich. "the taunting, the relationship could last a week, it depends on where it goes." I awnsered, poking my salad."great, if it goes well, it could be like a month." danny said strangely happy.
"ok." I said also happy. we sat outside today for lunch, everyone brought a stero with thelatest music hits on it. someone bought the cheetah girls, noone knew where it was coming from, but I kind of liked the song they put on.
no chance,no way I won't say it, no no.
you swoon you sigh why deny it? uh-oh.
it's too clich'e I won't say I'm in love.
you're in love?
I never said that!
yea you did!
when?
right now! you like him!
see, I like him, not so sure about love just yet.
so you like him?
now that I think about it, I'm not so sure about that either.
well...it's a start.
ok, that last part, I can't take all the credit for it, the song was in watergirl14's story "won't say I'm in love" it's a great story, anyways, I really hope you like it sofar, don't expect updates freaquently, I'm busy, and well, I hope you review please, NO FLAMES! thanks:)
