Chapter 6

The next day was school.

Sadly, Sam didn't want to go, for Jake was picking her up.

How will I be able to even look at him? Sam asked herself as she shut her alarm clock off, and made her bed. I don't know how I will ever be able to forgive him.

Once downstairs, she was eating the breakfast Gram had given her with slowness. She constantly kept losing track on trying not to think about Jake. Although Jake technically scared Rachel off, that just might not be enough to keep her away from him.

She sighed with mental agony lodged in her throat, and headed out the door.

Jake was already there, in his beat-up old truck. Through the windshield, Sam could see his eyes staring at her as she inched closer to his car, every painful step of the way.

She emerged in the car, and sat in the passenger's seat, eyes straight ahead, not even tempting to look at Jake.

He didn't seem to bother, either.

After a few minutes, Sam couldn't take it anymore. Usually, riding in the car with Jake was fun. They'd have the radio on, talk about Ace or Witch, and other things. This, was defiantly not fun.

"I still don't get how you could let her do that to you," Sam almost whispered to Jake in a harsh tone. He could barely hear her, but it was sure surprising that she said something.

He looked at her, still stunned.

"I didn't do anything Sam," Jake said, "and you know it. It was all her."

She looked back at him.

"Are you telling me the truth..?" she asked questionably. Although she knew Jake would never lie to her, this was more risky.

"I wouldn't lie to you."

She believed him, but still stayed cautious.

As the top of the school showed up from the hill they were driving up on, Sam thought about what Jake said.

Did he mean it? Sam thought to herself. Or did he do it just so I'd start talking to him again?

Before she knew it, both Jake and Sam were getting out of the beaten up car, back packs in hand. She turned to look at Jake for the last time before she began to walk off.

His mustang eyes showed trustworthy.

At that moment, Sam knew he meant his apology.

She smiled at him lightly, then turned and walked towards the huge, maroon colored school doors.

Something felt weird while Sam walked down the hall to get to her locker.

Why are all of these people staring at me? She thought.

Suddenly, yet thankfully, Sam saw Jen running towards her.

"Hey, Jen—" she began to say but Jen cut her off.

"is it true?" she asked the red-head, "is it true that you punched Rachel?"

Sam smiled, and nodded.

Jen's eyes showed horror.

"For Jake? So it's true! You punched Rachel because you were jealous!"

Sam looked at Jen, almost wanting to punch her, too. How could she think that?!

"What? No!" Sam shrieked, beginning to raise her voice higher and higher, "I don't like him! You should know that.."

Jen sighed. "Well, that's what even at school is saying."

Sam almost wanted to scream. She grabbed Jen and pulled her aside, away from everyone.

"Who started this?" she asked Jen, having her grip tighten even more.

Jen rolled her eyes and said, "Rachel. Who else?"

Sam's face turned a dark red.

Sam stormed towards her locker, causing an even bigger commotion than Rachel started.

Great, Sam though, now people will be picking on Jake, too.

Soon enough, as Sam looked up, Jake was running to her, a mixed expression on his face.

"Is it true?" he asked. Once Sam shook her head, his shoulders relaxed.

"I guess Rachel really just wants everyone against me," Sam almost whispered. She was so upset, that if she rose her voice higher, she was afraid it would make her cry.

Suddenly, Sam could hear Rachel's snobby accent floating down the hall.

"I swear, she literally knocked me off Jake's horse while we were kissing – it was total jealousy, I can tell you that." Rachel bragged on, obviously knowing Sam was there.

"Wait," Sam and Jake heard one of Rachel's friends say, "you kissed him?"

Rachel nodded. "Yes, I did. I can also tell you it was amazing."

Finally, after a few minutes, Rachel acknowledged the fact that Jake and Sam were standing there.

She glared at Sam while she walked over to Jake in a single, long stride.

"Hey," Rachel whispered in Jake's ear, "I've missed you."

Suddenly, the people around watching quietly chanted "kiss".

Rachel didn't let the audience down.

She kissed Jake, and Sam could completely tell he didn't want any of it this time. She could also tell that Jake would've pulled away, if any he wasn't pressed against Jen's locker.

Once Rachel was done with kissing her so called "boyfriend", she turned to Sam.

"Wow, Sam, I'm impressed," Rachel said, holding her right hand on her chest, "you've finally learned to control your emotions!"

Sam tried to ignore Rachel, and looked at Jake.

His expression literally told her, "get her arm off me."

Instead of blowing up at Rachel, she smiled at Jake.

"You're driving me home, right, mustang eyes?" Sam said to Jake in a flirty tone. She also did one of those "blinking your eyes" things (I don't know about you, but that annoys me. XD).

His face turned from confused, to even more confused. He raised an eyebrow down at her. She winked, and that told Jake to play along.

He himself then smiled, and faked as best as he could.

"Of course!" he said, almost giving it away. He cleared his throat, and started again, "of course, my little Brat."

With that, he walked over to Sam, put her in a head lock with his right arm, and messed up her hair with his other hand.

Sam was still fake smiling, but she wasn't faking when she began to roll her eyes. He's going to completely give it away, she thought.

Rachel didn't seem amused by this at all.

"Sorry to interrupt your "happy" moment," Rachel sneered, looking at Sam, then to Jake, "but I thought you were driving me home..."

Jake looked straight back at her beautiful face, and snapped back, "sorry. But I promised Brat here that I'd take her home today."

His arm was around Sam still, but instead of it around her neck, it was around her shoulders. He gave her a little shake when he said Brat.

Rachel looked like she wanted to throw up.

"What?" Rachel stammered, "after what she's done to us? To me, especially?"

She held up her right hand which had a huge gash from the day before. She also pointed at her eye with her other hand.

"Don't you care about your girlfriend?"

He was silent for a moment, but then said, "Gotta go, bye."

With that, he released Sam, gave her a pat on the back, faked a smile towards Rachel, and walked down the hall.

Jeez, Sam thought, scratching the side of her neck, that boy does not know how to act (it's true. XDD).

Although Jake was finished, Rachel wasn't.

She shoved Sam into the lockers, resulting to Sam hitting her head on her dial.

"You better stay out of my way, cowgirl," Rachel snapped, glaring down at her, "this isn't over."

Rachel stormed away from Sam, her so called friends trailing behind.
