"Sorry. I didn't see you there." The boy held out his hand. "I'm Topher."
"Sammy."
"It's actually Samey." Heather was walking by, with Alejandro.
"I guess they're already bugging you?"
"Yeah. But I'm used to it. What's with them anyway?"
"You don't know? Well, they started going out last year. But Heather kept getting mad at him for flirting with everyone when try were dating. They're always on-off. We're all used to it here."
"Okay. Thanks for telling me."
"No problem. What class do you have, I'll take you there."
Sammy smiled, opening her schedule. Topher was really nice. She was almost starting to like him. But then she thought of Amy breaking them up. The thought almost made her cry. Topher was the first boy to treat her like she really mattered. He also sounded like he hated Amy. 'He'll always be too good for me,' Sammy thought. 'He always will be.'
Despite that, Sammy still had to get to class. She read her schedule, seeing that it said she had science class. She turned towards Topher. "Science."
"Me, too. Let's go."
As they were walking, Sammy couldn't help but get caught off-track by his hair or his smile, even his eyes. He was just that noticeable. Finally, they were facing room 109. "Here we are. Oh also, a word of warning- the teacher can be really crazy sometimes." He opened the door, showing a crowd of kids Sammy didn't know. All except one, Zoey. Zoey was standing near the front of the room, waving Sammy over. "Over here, Sammy! Come on!"
Sammy quietly walked up to her friend. "Hi, Zoey."
Zoey smiled. "I didn't know this was your class."
"Well, it is." Sammy looked next to Zoey and saw a tanned boy in a blue T-shirt and jeans. "Who's your friend?"
"Oh, sorry for not introducing you! Sammy, this is Mike. Mike, meet Sammy."
"Hi, Mike."
"Hi, Sammy."
The teacher suddenly began speaking. "You're going to get new lab partners, bla bla. First pair- Mike and Sierra."
"Noooo! Cody!" Sierra looked at Cody with tears in her eyes. Zoey leaned over, whispering. "Sierra's crazy about Cody..."
"I can tell."
"Next! Zoey and Heather."
Sammy hadn't even noticed Heather was in her class. "Wish me luck, Sammy."
