Hoped you guys like chapter one! Here's chapter 2 in Sam's point of view. I'm making the chapter go back and forth between Rachel and Sam's POV.

I have read your reviews and just know that I am very grateful that you like my story so far! It's going to get a lot more interesting, trust me. I have to do a bit of an introduction first before things get going.

It was VERY upsetting to hear that Chord won't be returning to Glee, but I completely understand why he declined. Ryan Murphy and I aren't exactly on the same page. Samuel Evans started out bad and finished worse, it's a shame. I'm not ashamed to say I cried. We still have Chord though! And his cute girlfriend Emma. Have you seen the beach pictures? THEY'RE CAAAUUTE.

Also, I want to let you know that if you ever want to know more about me or whatever I do have a Twitter account, and I'd be more than happy to get to know you and fangirl over Chord, haha. My username is xMoreThanThis! I made a new account because my former one got attacked by crazy Beliebers.

Ok, enough rambling.

Have a wonderful day/night!

SAM'S POV:

Rachel and I help Mr. Shue prepare for the day's lesson until school officially begins. I'm feeling much better than I'd been feeling in a long time, even after the devastating Fuinn news Rachel had told me that morning. I'm still hurt but it was nice to have someone to talk to who understood. Rachel and I had never had an actual conversation, but I already feel comfortable around her. I'm glad we're alone, except for Mr. Shue, but he didn't really matter since he's a teacher and he wouldn't tease us, so we instantly got over the awkward tension and went straight into being friends.
I don't know why Quinn and Santana hate her, jealousy? Rachel is a nice person and she has that unique type of pretty that only one person has, ever. She has a significant difference, but in a good way.
Artie and Mercedes are the first ones to come in, a look of confusion washes over them as they walk into the room and spot Rachel and me sitting side by side in the far left corner.
Rachel notices them staring and becomes uneasy. I find it weird, considering her to love attention. Even though we weren't close I knew Rachel loves to be in the spotlight, and this makes me uneasy too.
More and more of the Glee club members start to pile in, but no sign of Fuinn.
They finally arrive 10 minutes late, holding hands, looking bright and confident. I roll my eyes and sink back in my seat, meanwhile Rachel starts fidgeting.
"Hey, you ok?" I whisper to her. I can smell her fruity hair.
"Yeah", she replies quickly, keeping her gaze at the front of the room.
I look back at the happy couple. They had noticed our new seating arrangement too, and seem shocked. Quinn gathers herself, takes a seat near us and says, "Wow Rachel, looks like you've found someone else to drool over. At least you can leave Finn alone now"
Rachel and I turn beet red. Rachel doesn't say anything for a while, but eventually takes a deep breath and responds. "I have no interest in dating Sam. We just came early and got into talking. Nothing more"
Those words punch me in the gut. Rachel has no interest in me. I'm not in love with her or even have feelings for her, I think, but hearing that ruins my day.
Rachel looked straight at Finn when she said that, with reassuring eyes. She's not over him. And neither is Finn, because he eyeballs me but accepts Rachel's answer.
I suddenly notice everyone looking at me, waiting for me to agree with Rachel. I clear my throat.
"Yeah, nothing, so calm down everyone."
Nothing, and I don't feel calm at all.
I decide to spend the rest of the class silent. I can't bring myself to look at Rachel. I'm really hurt, and I don't know why. Santana dumping me for a girl didn't even make me feel as bad as this.
Rachel acts as if nothing happened, but I catch her looking my way every once in a while. Can she tell I'm hurt? Does she feel sorry for me? I try my best to hide my emotions even though I don't think I'm doing a very good job of it.
Walking out of the room after class, with my feet dragging, Rachel stops me.
"Sam"
I turn around. I know what's coming. She regrets talking to me, and telling me what she had seen. She made a mistake confiding in me and it's best if we part ways.
Except for, she doesn't say that. What she says surprises me.
"I want you to know, that I think you're an amazing guy. I am sure that we can be the best of friends."
Her big brown eyes dig into my shocked green eyes.
"Um… Sure."
I lift my chin and add, "That'd be great"

"I'm sorry I acted weird during Glee today, but Finn and Quinn can be very intimidating. I'm not very confident when it comes to them." Her gaze avoids mine, "But I need to learn to ignore their taunts".

"I understand Rachel. I'm sorry if I made you feel uneasy in any way"
She shakes her head and smiles at me as we walk out of the room together.
I don't know what to think. All I know is that I'm incredibly confused.
She actually wants to get to know me, as friends.
Friends. That's what I want.
Right?
