Like a boy

Sam went to school with baggy pants and another black boy beater, se wore no jewelry but had her hair mossed and made every head turn as she walked to school. She walked straight up to Paulina.

"You can have Phantom and Fenton, I could care if they rot in the seventh circle of Dante's hell."

"What do you want in return?" Paulina asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Revenge."

Pull up your pants (Just Like Em')
Take out the trash (Just Like Em')
You can dig cash like em'
Fast like em'
Girl you outta act like ya dig (What I'm talkin' bout')
Security codes on everything
Vibrate so your phone don't ever ring (Joint Account)
And another one he don't know about

Sam had become a cheerleader although she refused to wear pink seeing how there wasn't much school left no one cared. She walked everywhere surrounded by girls and Emmy was always a stone's throw away, which made it hard for Danny to even beg for her to even look at him and tell him she hated him. Emmy had gain weight, Danny thought it was due to Sam's all you can eat misery buffet.

Paulina, Sam, Valerie and Emmy had become the top bitches of the school. Paulina and Dash were off and on, but somehow still together. Quwan and Valerie where still majorly into one another. Em had the star Linebacker, even though he and Star was a big thing up until her parents sent her to a finishing school for proper girls. That left Sam to lust after Danny while she went on date after date to see who was her Football player to keep her warm on the trips to other schools.

If she was able to get past how shallow Paulina was she was able to sometimes have fun and realize how nice she could be. Shudder to think.
Wish we could switch up the roles
And I could be that...
Tell you I love you
But when you call I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me?...
Like where you be at?
Cause I'm out 4 in the morning
On the corna rolling
Doing my own thing
Ohh
What if I?...
Had a thing on the side?
Made ya cry?
Would the rules change up?...
Or would they still apply?...
If I played you like a toy?...
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

Sam hooked up with a random foot ball player named Todd. He was a second string Senior but that was because he spent his time studying his classes more than football tactics. So Sam didn't mind, they could at least have half of an intelligent conversation. So any time she saw Danny in the hallway she would shove Todd against the lockers and viscously make out with him making Danny turn in the other direction and Sam became a little more hollow inside.

No matter how hard she tried she couldn't get Danny and his candy kisses out of her head. All those goofy grins, when he had a surprise or after he kissed her when she wasn't paying attention. She even laughed in the middle of class when she remembered his innocent laugh when she made fun of him. She missed drawing his profile and saving people with him.

"This had gone on long enough! I'm going to tell Sam about Eccentric. I don't care what she will do. I can't idly watch this go on any longer!" Danny declared.

"Dude think this through." Tucker pleaded with him.

"I can't handle this any longer!" Danny walked up to the popular girl table.

"Sam can have a word?" Danny asked.

"With you?" Paulina intervened. "As if. You may be mondo hot, but you are such a dick! Em told us about your abusive streak and all those bruises Sam had to hide! And what you did to her in the woods. YOU PIG!" She dumped her drink over his head as he looked at Sam pleadingly while the crowd burst into jeering laughter. Sam looked away unable to speak.

"Sam are you okay? You're so quiet since lunch." Valerie inquired as Sam turned the corner to the mall with her black mustang she got when she told her mom she was going to be a cheerleader. Em and Paulina sat in the back seat chattering about fashion unable to notice Sam sniffling behind her bug eyed sunglasses that were all the rage.

"I-I still miss him. I just don't want to be forced to believe he did anything wrong." Sam said as they pulled into the parking lot and caught Paulina's and Em's attention.

"He is so not worth it. Plus Todd is totally into you." Paulina said as they headed to the overstuffed building of materialistic American culture.

"Plus you saw what he did to me when I tried to get you guys back together. I told you he's a pig!"


If I was always gone
With the sun getting home (Would Ya Like That?)
Told you I was with my crew
When I knew it wasn't true (Would Ya Like That?)
If I act like you
Walk A mile off in yo shoes (Would Ya Like That?)
I'm messing with your head again
Dose of your own medicine
What if I?...
Had a thing on the side?
Made ya cry?
Would the rules change up?...
Or would they still apply?...
If I played you like a toy?...
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

After Sam finally got home she felt her room was colder than it normal icy heating.

"Danny come out I know you're here." Sam said sitting n her bed.

"Please Sam for the sake of what we once had please hear me out." Danny looked on the verge of suicide his hair was a tumbled of matted mess. His clothing was torn and there were bags under his eyes.

"I'll listen, but I wont believe you." Dam said crossing her arms so that she didn't run and give him the hug that she wanted to.

"Fair enough. I didn't know we had plans that Saturday night, I had thought you had that temple thing with your family. And then Tucker showed this comic of this ghost called Eccentric that looked like Em-Then she told me that she was sucking up your misery like an all you can eat buffet that never closes. I miss you Sam, I'm glad to see that you have been trying to take care of yourself. Selfishly I wanted you to be as much of a rech that I am. I don't want to live my life with out you, I need you Sammie, I love you so much I'd rip out my heart and give it to you if I know you would love me too." Danny was on his knees with all sincerity on the table.

"What a lovely web of lies. Did Tucker help you? We all know how great he is at covering up the truth. To think I let you near me." Sam scoffe. " I don't even feel bad for all the bad this Em said you did to me. Your pathetic."

Had friends...
Would you like that?
Nother car?
Would you like that?

If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy!
