Chapter Two
Caroline
Caroline stood outside Sam's office, brushing a stray curl back around her ear. She kept wondering why Sam hadn't been calling on her in class. It worried her. She worked really hard on all her assignments to please him, and she considered herself his best student…up until Josie Geller came along. He was calling on Josie a lot now, and with graduation being only 3 weeks away, she had hoped that perhaps afterwards…she and Sam might have a chance to talk. She did, after all, turn eighteen 3 months ago.
"Come in" Sam answered from behind the door at the sound of someone knocking.
Caroline walked in, closing the door behind her. Her green eyes widened at the sight of Sam behind his desk. She had never approached him like this before. Only now with Josie in the picture, she was suddenly overcome with a sense of deep jealousy at sharing any of Sam's attention.
When Sam saw Caroline, he did have to compose himself. She was so ethereally beautiful as she stood there, long curls skimming down to her waist, big green eyes…with something in them he could not quite decipher as she regarded him.
"Hi Caroline," Sam said "What is it?"
Caroline smiled coyly. How was she going to proceed? An idea suddenly occurred to her. Raising her hand towards her forehead, she began to slump down, and as she expected, Sam sprung from behind his desk towards her. He wrapped his arms around her waist, catching her in time. "Woah! Are you ok Caroline?" Sam asked concerned.
Sam's face was now only inches away from Caroline's. Caroline parted her lips invitingly and locked eyes with him. She then wrapped her arms around Sam's neck and kissed him. She held onto his neck tight to deepen the kiss…
KNOCK, KNOCK! A loud knocking suddenly echoed through the office.
Sam pushed Caroline away, as if burned, and took a quick step backwards.
"Who is it?" he asked shocked, still looking at Caroline.
"Mr. Coulson, it's Josie Geller."
