Sam popped open the hood of my car in efforts to "check things out"

"You know, you really don't need to do this" I said

"My dad and I used to work on cars growing up, why not help a friend" Sam said

"We are not friends" I stubbornly replied

Sam turns to me "but Id like to be"

an awkward silence fell between us.

"Look..Im going to call someone to look at your car. Your cars having problems far beyond my knowledge" Sam said

"okay..thanks" I said

SAm calls a company

"ALright, it looks like it'll be about 45 minutes before they can show up" Sam

"Oh. Well…Looks like Im not going to work today"

I sit back and imagine Jack's face turning a shade of red and steam forming from his ears when he finds out.

"Ill wait with you though..I have nothing else to do and Im sure you could use the company" Sam said

I open my mouth in efforts to protest but something stops me, so instead, I go over and sit next to Sam on the hood of his truck

"Do you want to play a game?" Sam asked

I look at Sam, slightly surprised by what I just heard.

"I mean, it might make the time go faster" Sam said

"…what game did you have in mind?" I reply causing a smile to spread across his face, leading to one develop on mine as well.

"Truth! We ask each other questions and no matter what, you have to reply honestly" Sam said

"Okay..you first!" I say

"Alright, I have to ask, what is the real reason you haven't really dated before? YOu have to know how absolutely beautiful you are, you're in 5 advanced classes, and by the looks of the sketches in the back of your car, you're creative too"

I take a big breath and decide to ignore the complement and go straight to the question

"When I was a little girl, my dad used to tell me the same story over and over again. He said that girls were like apples growing on a tree. The boys always pick the rotten ones because they are at the bottom, therefore, easiest to get, but I was the good apple at the very top. And most boys didn't want to climb that high to get the good apple because they'd worry they would fall and get hurt, but one boy would come along, who wasn't afraid of falling, and would climb to the top for me. I guess what Im saying is I haven't met a boy willing to climb, only a bunch who'd wish I would fall" I confess.

Silence fell between us for a little.

"Im sorry about your dad" Sam says

"Thanks Sam" I reply

After that, we both just sit in silence. Sam just stared at me though. Not saying anything, just staring.

"Okay…my turn, kind of the reversed question. Why do you go through with so many meaningless relationships that only end up lasting a month at most?" I decide to say in efforts to break the silence

"Well…believe it or not I liked the girls, but I guess I wasn't enough because it took no time at all for them to break it off" Sam says as tears come to his eyes

"I mean..I wasn't in love or anything, but I guess it just hurts to find out you weren't enough for someone.." Sam says, now tearing up a little more.

I take but one second to pull Sam into a tight hug. WE sit there for some time, until the sound of the handyman's car approaching interrupts us. The handyman goes through with fixing my car, silence fallen on all of us. As soon as he finishes I began to walk to my car and step inside when I hear Sam from behind me

"You know Quinn..your dad was right. You deserve a guy thats willing to make the climb."

I just look at him for a little, nod, then step inside my car
