Hello again! Wow, two new chapters for two different stories in the same day! New record for me. So this chapter is Sammi's POV of chapter 1. Hope it's as good as the first one. I'm not sure if I plan to stick with her POv for the rest of the story or keep going back and forth with her's and Cedric's. I'll figure it out as I'm writing. But anyway...

ONWARD!!!!

Ch. 2 Awkward Sammi's POV

Ugh! I can't believe it! Today has just not been good. First off, thanks to my idiotic brother Eric, my alarm went off later then I needed it to. The little creep! Mom had grounded him for the whole summer because his marks from our last school were so bad; the class moron had done better then him. How pathetic! Now he decides to torture me more then usual. He even hid most of my things for today. If my 17th birthday had been a week sooner, I would have hexed him into the next century this morning.

When dad and I headed to the portkey- at 5 am for Merlin's sake!, dad got so lost with the muggle map that we went around in circles three times, and once was in a really muddy pond that was so deep, it came up to my knees. I also tripped a bit and landed on my hands and knees in the mud. So thankful I packed two extra sets of clothes and a pair of shoes. Dad finally gave me the map after that and I found the actual way there.

After the travel that makes you feel like a fish being yanked back on a hook every time, we arrived at our tent. You can bet that I sure as hell made a beeline to the bathroom.

Looking in the mirror was NOT a pretty sight for me. My dark brown and purple hair was so badly knotted I thought I'd never get it untangled. My clothes were caked now in mud everywhere. I brushed my hair out until it was perfectly straight- which took a long time- and changed into my favorite green top and a pair of dark jeans. I also washed my hands and face for good measure.

"Hey dad. The bathroom's free now if ya need it," I told him as I walked out. He of course, was sitting on the couch, already changed into some brown robes and reading today's copy of the Daily Prophet. He looked up at me and said, "Thanks kiddo, but I'm good," before turning back to his paper.

Simply shrugging, I grabbed my iPod out of my bag, tucked it into my pocket, and then chucked the rest of my stuff onto the top bunk. I took my muddy things and shoved them into another smaller bag and threw that onto the floor. I slipped on my black converses and told my dad I was going out to explore as I walked out of the tent.

There were so many people walking around, either dressed in black and red or green and white, that it was like walking around in a terribly themed muggle fashion show. And I'm just minding my own business went SMACK! Some idiot collides with me and sends both of us to the ground.

"Ouch! Hey genius, watch where you're going!" I huffed out at the guy. He then quickly rolled off me and shot back up onto his feet. Hmm, guess the guy's a Quidditch player. I sat up and pain instantly shot into the back of my head. I snapped my eyes close and my hand went to massage the sore spot on my head.

"Sorry about that. Here, let me help you." He said. I opened my eyes again to see his hand was almost right in my face. I pushed it away from me and got up myself. I brushed off the dirt that was stuck to my clothes and looked up at him.

This guy was hot! His bronzy colored hair was sort of messed up, but still in a sleek sort of shape. His face was sort angular but still was really handsome. His eyes were a sort of blue-grey color that seemed to contrast with his hair. He was dressed in a pair of jeans and a gold colored sweater that had a white line going across his chest with a beige jacket over it and he had his bag slung over his shoulder.

Now I was like any other kind of girl, I'd be drooling all over him and flirt so badly it isn't even funny. But I'm never like your average girl. Not to mention, this guy was kind of creeping me out with how he was staring at me. So instead, I stared at him angrily, with my hands on my hips, hoping I looked even slightly intimidating.

"Look buddy, are you just going to stand there all day, gawking at me like some weirdo, or are you going to move?" He didn't say anything as he just stepped to the side, his eyes never leaving me. "Thanks" I said as I walked past him. I also muttered "idiot" but I don't know if he heard me or not.

"Hey, what's your name?" Weirdo shouted at me, but I pretened that I was too far away to hear him.

After of an hour or two of walking around, I decided to head over to the edge of the forest beside all the camping grounds. I climbed up one of the trees easily and sat on a branch. I pulled out my iPod and popped in my headphones. Hitting shuffle, I pressed play and Within Temptation's What Have You Done Now came blaring out. I smiled and leaned back as I slowly drifted off.

I opened my eyes only to shut them tight, shielding them from the bright light of the setting sun. Wait! Setting sun?! I shot up to see that the sun was setting. That meant that the Quidditch match was going to start soon. Shit!

I yanked my headphones out and shoved them along with my now dead iPod and jumped from the tree. Then I shot off in the direction of my tent, hoping my dad was waiting for me.

I had to keep dodging people like crazy. I looked around but couldn't see dad anywhere. Maybe I should head to the stadium.

"Samantha! Come here would you?" I smiled as I heard dad's voice. I wave at him and made my way over. But as I got there, I noticed that he wasn't alone.

Standing next to him was another wizard that looked the same age as him, and next to him was- Weirdo! OK! Now it's double shit!

Well, that's chapter 2. How was it this time around? Better? Worst? Please review and let me know. Thanks!
