Fourth period chemistry was always a bore, especially when you had a teacher like Mrs. Collins, who had absolutely zero personality. When the bell rang, Sam was relieved. Lunch. The only class she could actually pass...if you got a grade in it, anyway. She usually walked alone, since Carly was going to lunch from a completely different side of the building. It usually only took three minutes to get from chem, to her locker, and then lunch, no longer.
One day, after Mrs. Collins finished lecturing Sam about how she was failing all of her chemistry labs and nearly blew up the whole school one time when she mixed hexane with octane (Sam just saw it as the blue liquid and the red liquid). Luckily, her lab partner was able to stop her just as she was about to mix them together. After her lecture, she looked up at the clock. Shit! she thought, I only have a minute to get to lunch! If I'm late again, I get triple detention! Sam quickly packed everything into her bag and ran out the classroom door. She took not even ten steps when most of her books fell out of her bag. Sam groaned as she hurried to grab all of her books and stuff them back into her bag. Then, she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Need help there, Sam?" It was the voice of Freddie, Sam's "friend" and object of her frequent verbal and physical abuse.
"Um," Sam stuttered, shocked that the nerd actually cared to stop and help her, "Sure."
"Where are you going?" Freddie asked.
"To my locker, then lunch. Which I'll probably be late to and get a triple detention from Mr. Howard...again." Sam replied.
"My social studies class is right near your locker, want me to walk with you?" Freddie said, with an odd smile.
Why is the nerd being so nice today? Is he on drugs? Sam thought. "Sure, I guess if you want to." she replied.
They walked together. Freddie talked about his geeky tech stuff, only to be interrupted by Sam's jokes and punchlines. When they reached Sam's locker, they said their goodbyes, and Sam opened up her locker.
"Did I actually enjoy not being lonely? I mean, it's only the nub, but at least I have someone to walk to my locker with. It's better than no one." Sam said to herself.
Every day after that, Sam packed up extra slow in her chem class, so she can meet Freddie and walk with him to her locker. After a couple of days, their fighting wore down, and they ended up talking about things they both had in common, whether it be iCarly, how bitchy Ms. Briggs was, or one of Spencer's latest creations. Sure, Freddie made the occasional dorky comment and was therefore subjected to Sam's witty comebacks, but those had grown to be far and in between.
Although, Sam did have a price to pay when walking with Freddie, it took longer to get to lunch, and most of the time she heard the bell ring just as she closed her locker. Which meant that Mr. Howard was at the ready with a detention slip, with Sam's name on it.

Sam circled yes for that question, and sighed. "Okay, one down, eight to go."
R&R kiddies :)
