When I Met Him..

Sammy's POV

"Ooh, Sammy." Marissa nudged me teasingly. She had caught Nick staring at me for like the twenty-ith time or something. I lost count after fourteen, so maybe right now it's around the twenties.

Your probably wondering who Nick is. Well Nick is the hottest guy at school. He's Captain of the Basketball team. He has blonde shaggy hair with very deep blue eyes mixed in with a green. So a turquoise or something.

He had suddenly taken an interest to me. And when I mean suddenly, I mean so suddenly that it was like I blinked and he started liking me. But I'm just your average Junior in high school. I have tangly light brown hair with green eyes. They aren't deep though, they're just regular green. I don't see why guys like me.

"Why don't you say hi?" Dot asked me.

I looked at her as if she sprouted ten more heads and Medusa hair. Ew, snakes. Mental shudder. Oops, off topic.

"Um, he's with his friends. What if he turns me down or insults me right in front of them?" I ask like they're stupid.

"He's been staring at you this whole time just so you would walk up to him and he can have the advantage to reject you." Holly said slowly. "Does anyone else see the failed logic in that theory?"

Dot and Marissa raised their hands. I groaned. Marissa pushed me off the cafeteria chair and onto my butt. "Oof." I said as I landed.

"Need a hand there?" A voice said behind me and I almost fainted. Oh gosh, it was Nick.

"Nah, I'm good." I got up and brushed myself off. "Thanks though." I said turning to look at him.

He chuckled while sticking his hands into his pockets. Why do guys do that? "That was quite a fall."

"Thanks to my good friend Marissa." I said pointing at her.

"Your welcome." She said smiling innocently.

"Well, I should get back to my table." He half smiled at me then went back to his table. I stared dreamily at him, as if he was God's son.

"So it takes you to fall on your butt for him to come over and talk to you?" Dot said and then they all burst out laughing. After a while, I started laughing too. I'll admit, that encounter with Nick was a little funny.

~*-O-*~ ~*-O-*~

It rained after school today. I had to walk home while other people called their moms, dads, older brothers and/or sisters, etc. Me? I couldn't call anyone. I mean, I didn't want to.

I hate my mom. I don't have any siblings. And I know nothing about my father. I mean, he was long gone after a few months of my birth. I don't remember him and as far as I know, he could be anyone. So yeah, an annoying mother, no siblings, and a dead-beet father. My life is crap.

But anyway, I started walking home at around 3:30. I was hoping that the rain would at least stop or slow down by then but instead it rained harder. The basketball team had been practicing until like around 3:40 so I guess I was kind of surprised when Nick pulled up in his car.

"Hey, Sammy right?" He called out fro the drivers' seat.

"Uh, yeah." I said. I kept walking so he was just cruising alongside of me.

"Do you need a ride?" He asked me.

"Do you mind?" I replied.

"Not at all." He smiled. I walked over to the passengers' side and saw that he had laid a towel across the seat for me to sit on. How thoughtful, I guess.

"So where do you live?" He asked as I closed the door.

"Up on middleton." I answered.

"You must be freezing." He murmured and turned on the car heating. I pointed the vents on my side directly at me and he directed the middle ones toward me too. I gave him a grateful smile.

"So, um, how's life?" I asked as my attempt to make conversation.

"It's good." He chuckled. Jeez, does he ever laugh?

"Uh, yeah. Sometimes." He said looking at me weirdly.

"Did I say that out loud?" I blushed. He nodded and I blushed redder but managed to turn away by then so I don't think he noticed.

We sat there in silence for the rest of the ride home. Until, "Okay, here we are." Nick said as he pulled up in my driveway.

"Thanks again." I said getting out but he put a hand on my shoulder to stop me.

"Can I have your number?" He asked.

"Sure." I smiled and took out a pen which I convenietly had in my back pocket that day. I reached out for his hand and wrote down my number, with a smiley face.

"Text me later, I guess." I said and then got out with a quick wave back at him before disappearing into my house. As soon as I was inside and the door was closed, I screamed in happiness.

A/N: Here you go. Chapter 1. It was supposed to come out yesterday, but I remembered that I had started writing 1/3 of this on the laptop. So I just logged off since my time was mostly done, and then I walked home.

So yeah, review.
