"SAMANTHA! Danny's here to see you!" my mom yelled from downstairs.

"Send him up mother!" I called back.

I heard two big, clumsy feet clomp (A/N I'm not sure if 'clomp is an actual word...hmmm) up the stairs then there was a swift knock on my door.

"Come in Daniel." I replied curtly.

He opened my door and walked in, closing it behind him.

"I geuss you do remember. Samandafer." He said laughing.

"Okay, 1. Don't call me that. 2. how long have you known? And 3. Do you know why I moved here?" I said, snapping almost.

"In that order?" He asked, receiveing a nod from me, he continued, "Okay, I won't, Sammy, Just don't call me Daniel. Since I saw your eyes. And no."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"Well, I don't know if you'll remember but the day I moved away from you, when I was about 7 or 8, you told me something..." Danny said, blushing.

I instantly remembered that day.

FlashBack

"You can't move Daniel!" I had cried as we said our last goodbyes, my eyes filled with tears.

"I know! It's unfair! Now I'll never see you again!" Danny whined.

It's now or never, I thought.

"Daniel, I need to tell you something..." I started.

He looked at me expectantly and asked, "What Samandafer?"

"I like you. A lot." I said quickly, hugging him.

He smiledand hugged me back With a quick kiss on the cheek he said, "I'm gonna miss you Samandfer"

I smiled sadly, "I'm gonna miss you more."

End FlashBack

"Oh..." I said, blushing a deep shade of red.

"Yeah...So, um, you said something about why you moved here...?" He said, changing the subject.

"Oh yeah! Well, I don't know if this'll make thinks more awkward but, do you remember when we told my mom we were going to...um...get married?" I asked, not even venturing to look him in the eye.

He laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. "Y-yeah..."

"Well, My mother, being the crazy witch she is, thought we were serious, desntined to be together, and told your mother. They told our dads and then the four of them decided to...hook us up..." I said, not wanting to actually say the words.

"What do you mean 'hook us up' like, get us together?" He asked.

I meekly shook my head. Taking a huge gulp I stuttered out, "They...Arranged us to be married when we're 18..."

His mouth dropped open. His eyes bulged. His nose did the little twitchy thing it did whenever he was nervous or over excited.

"What...The...Hell..." He said under his breath.

"I wanted to talk to you as soon as I heard. I know how we can stop this. We need to refuse, deny, and destroy. Refuse to get married. Deny that we're perfect for eachother. Destroy their plan. Easy enough?" I said, hoping he'd snap out of his daze soon.

"Wha- Sammy, I havn't disregared anything my parents have told me to do ever since you were my bestfriend. I'm never in trouble. I'm always on time and get good grades. Heck, one time, my mother told me to eat everything on my plate and I swallowed the fork!" He exclaimed.

"So, what are you sayinng?" I asked.

"That I have almost no clue on how to tell my parents 'no'..." He mumbled.

That made me laugh. Hard. Like, OH-MY-EFFFING-GOD-FUNNIEST-THING-I'VE-EVER-HEARD kinda laugh.

"Danny! You're such a sucky liar! We used to get into trouble all the time when we were little!"

"Yeah, When YOU were around to influence me!" He retorted.

"Oh, so you're blamming me for the time you shaved your aunts cat?" I said with a laugh.

"...A little bit yeah!" He said shoving me lighlty.

I laughed and shoved him back

"So, if you can't say 'no' to your parents, we have 2 options. 1, get married or 2, let me teach you how to tell them no. It's up to you" I said with a sly smile.

Sorry it's a short chapter! I have killer writer's block but I'm working through it. If you have any ideas on the story, just let me know! Thanks a billion!
