Chapter 2
Casey decided to talk to Sammy and I went with him. He told me about Hudson's porch, and how amazing it was. He told me about the iced tea and the cakes. Soon, we arrived at Hudson's.
"Good morning Casey," he said. "And Heather?"
"Good morning sir!" Casey replied. "Is Sammy here?"
"She just headed for Marissa's. Would you like some cake?"
"No thank you sir." Casey shook his head. "We want to talk to Sammy. See you later!" It wasn't long before we caught up to Sammy, who was walking up Marissa's porch.
"Sammy wait!" I called to her. She turned around and forced a smile upon her face. Casey ran up to her.
"I hate the decision too you know. And so does Heather." He took her hands and squeezed them, then stared into her eyes dreamily. Sammy looked into his and spaced out. They moved closer to each other until they were an inch apart. I felt nauseous, but I was saved by a sudden shriek.
"OMG!"Sammy and Casey snapped back into the real world. "I saw that!" Marissa squealed. She was leaning against the door frame of the entrance with wide eyes.
"Shut up Marissa!" Sammy snapped at her. Marissa just bit down a grin and said,
"I have got to tell Holly and Dot. They're inside! Sammy, I can't believe it!" Sammy scowled as Holly and Dot appeared at the door.
"No need to tell us! We saw from the window!" Dot said. "You guys looked so cute together, right Holly?" Holly just looked away.
"Well are you guys planning on coming in?" Holly asked after a long moment of silence. Casey and Sammy went inside, and Sammy turned to me.
"Heather, are you coming?" I nodded and saw Marissa, Holly, and Dot giving each other a weird look. Marissa didn't seem too keen on having me in the house, but she allowed me to enter. I was amazed. I had known Marissa was rich, but her house was god-like, which by the way, is my word! Everything, from her red velvet cushions to the golden banisters spelled out W-E-A-L-T-H-Y.
"Can we talk without Mikey or your nanny overhearing us?" Sammy asked. Marissa nodded, and she led us up the stairs. We went into her room, which had silver colored walls. I plopped down on her king-sized bed with Casey on one side of me, and Sammy on the other. Holly, Marissa, and Dot each sat on her bean bag chairs. They listened as the three of us explained the dilemma to them. Well, I stayed quiet most of the time, only adding in one or two things in the middle. When we finished talking, Marissa jumped up and cried,
"You know what this means, right?" Sammy nodded.
"My archenemy will be my stepsister." Dot shook her head.
"Obviously, but Sammy! You can't have feelings for Casey now! You can't have a crush on him now!"
"I don't... I mean," Sammy muttered.
"There's no point in trying to hide it Sammy. We all know the truth!" Marissa told her. "We saw that you guys were about to kiss!" This comment made Marissa and Dot change to the Love Channel. Finally, Sammy got up.
"You guys are no help!" she said. Then she turned around and stormed out of the room.
