Changing rules ch 4
"We better hurry or we'll be late to class," said Chase. He hated to interrupt her but she had confirmed his initial suspicions. He paid for the drinks despite her protest and helped her put her jacket back on. He grabbed his own and threw it on as he walked towards the door.
Samantha initially didn't want to talk about them but Chase seemed like a kindred spirit so she eagerly shared what she knew. Surprisingly it was more than she thought she did. Chase nodded and once in a while made a comment. Mostly for her to clarify some detail.
She reached her truck and unlocked her door. Slid into the drivers seat and reached over to unlock his side. "So you see they've always had a kind of charmed existence," she was saying as she started the car. She didn't hear Chase's reply of "you have no idea" it was drowned out by her rather loud engine.
She put the car into reverse and pulled out of the space, switched gears and headed for school. They pulled up in front of the school in the nick of time. Samantha grabbed her book bag and walked beside Chase into the school. "Well I have to go I have this class," he said. He pointed to a door next to him. She nodded"ok, I guess I'll see you later then" she said and headed for her first class. For the first time in her life feeling like she as in control of her own destiny.
Or she did until she knocked Sims into his locker. Fortunately the janitor was there to see it and was able to get Sims out before the first period began. Samantha hurried to class and quickly took her usual seat way in the back corner. Everything had been going good until she ran into Sims. She saw the boy stride angrily into class and take his usual seat next to Garwin.
He shot her a withering glare as he passed and she sank in her seat.
Chase was sitting in literary class but he wasn't really paying attention. His mind was going over the information she had given him. He smiled to think he had found a willing ally and all it took was some kindness.
Not that she wasn't worth it of course. He would need someone to relieve the tension Pogue's cock tease of a girlfriend was sure to cause. He was already making plans in his head. Since tonight was a Thursday already he could just take Samantha out tonight. Wine her and dine her and maybe even later get more than information from her. She seemed more than willing. Plus she was so innocent he didn't have to worry where she had been.
He would go to town with Kate and Sarah tomorrow after school then join them for a night on the town. The only thing that might pose a problem was keeping his relationship with Samantha a secret. With as many secrets as he was used to carrying what was one more? He didn't want to have to lie to Samantha to keep her safe but he would if he had to.
The bell rang and Chase gathered his things and headed for the door. He headed for his next class; he was wondering how he was going to pull this off. He spotted Samantha heading for the other building and wondered what class she was heading to. Hopefully it was more interesting than this one looked. He took a seat on one side of the room. He really didn't care to sit too near Aaron and his cronies. The boy was an idiot and very annoying in Chase's opinion.
Aaron was saying something to his friends and they all laughed at the joke. What a pathetic bunch of losers. The sons of Ipswich were in this class and Chase took the opportunity to observe them. Samantha was right about a lot of things. He wondered how long she had been planning her revenge? He smiled to himself; well this looks like she was finally getting her chance. Besides it might be amusing to see how deep that hatred ran.
The rest of the day went by in a blur for Chase, mostly because he was bored and wanted it to. Luckily he didn't have to go out of his way to avoid Samantha. She seemed to be avoiding him. In fact he ate lunch alone and didn't spot her until he was leaving. The son's were hanging around so he couldn't go over to her. She seemed to understand and smiled at him. She didn't do anything embarrassing like wave to him.
She seemed to have eaten lunch out in the yard; he wondered what she did on rainy days. He walked towards his next class. It happened to be PE, something he was looking forward to. Summer seemed to be sticking around for a few more days and it was quite warm today. He glanced at her sadly as if he wanted to say something to her.
The son's were walking towards the gym and he reluctantly followed. She looked so sad sitting all by herself.
Samantha watched him walk out and glance around. She thought about waving to him but he seemed to be hesitating to walk towards her. Maybe he wasn't really interested? She thought dejectedly. Knowing my luck he's gay and was just asking me about the boys cause he had a crush. She sighed to herself so much for having a friend. She stood up and threw the rest of her lunch away before heading to the library for study period.
Ironically she hadn't tripped or fell all day, well except for that incident with Sims. Those boys always unnerved her anyways, ever since they were younger. There was just something weird about them. She sat down at one of the tables in the library and pulled out her books.
She ended up checking out a book for a class project. She was supposed to be doing with Chase, for their history class. She decided to start on the research part of it in advance. She was just starting to read the book she had checked out. When Sims and Garwin walked in. they sat at the table beside hers and she did her best to ignore them. After having talked about them for most of the morning she couldn't help but glance at them. Garwin was sitting back in his chair actually reading a book. Or at least he was attempting to.
Sims was trying to do his work, but Garwin kept messing with him. "What is it?" said Sims. In an exasperated tone of voice. The librarian hushed them and Sims lowered his tone. "I'm trying to work here would you go bug someone else?" said Sims. Garwin sighed "gee thanks" said Garwin. He looked around the room and spotted Samantha sitting next to them. She silently prayed that he would just go bug someone else. Instead he sat down next to her.
She tried to ignore him but her stomach kept doing nervous butterflies. "You look different," stated Garwin. She unconsciously looked up at him. She wasn't sure what to say to him and her mouth had gone dry anyways.he was looking at her like he was considering asking her something. "Its your hair, you lost the kiddie braids" stated Garwin
She didn't really want to engage in a conversation with him. He always made her feel stupid or inferior when she did answer him. So she just nodded, yes to his question.
"You look better that way," he stated. He was about to say something more but the bell rang. She grabbed her stuff, or tried to. She succeeded in dumping her things on the floor.
She bent down and quickly scooped up her stuff. Garwin laughed and Samantha tried to ignore the mocking tone in his voice. "Here let me help you," said Garwin. He picked up one of her books and held it out to her. She went to grab it and he pulled it back out of her reach.
He was teasing her now, when she thought he was just going to be nice for once. She tried to grab it again and he moved it again. "Give it back," said Samantha "what do I get for it?" he said teasingly. She glanced in the direction of the librarian. She was about to reply that all he would get for his trouble was detention.
When Sims took the book from Garwin's hand and handed it to Samantha. "Here, sorry about that" said Sims. Garwin glared at him but Sims ignored him. "Come on we're going to be late," said Sims.
Samantha shoved the book into her bag and headed for the door. "Why do you keep messing with her?" said Sims to Garwin as they left the room. They were out the door before she heard Garwin's answer.
