heya guys! i really appreciate it if you're still reading this! i know it's been a long time, but i'm workin at it.


She groans and rolls her eyes at the question. Leaning forward she drops her head into her hands.

"Marques is just an idiot my mother set me up with." she says. She glances at me and I just raise an eyebrow. "I told her that you and I didn't work out and she set me up with him so...." she trails off.

"The joys of parents." I say sarcastically. She nods.

"He just don't understand that I'm not interested in him because I like somebody else right now." she says dismissively. I raise and eyebrow and try to fight jealousy.

"Really? Anybody I know?" I ask. Oh real subtle Puckett. She smirks and is about to answer but the crashing of the door startles her.

"Sam?! Where are ya sweetie?! Daddy's here!" oh, this is just great. My dad rounds the corner and picks me up squeezin' me to death.

"Let..go....can't....breath....." I gasp out. He just hugs tighter.

"My little princess! How is daddy's little girl? Are you ok? Did you eat? Do you need ham?" he ticks off. I shake my head tightly and motion with my eyes over to Tasha. "Oh my god, look at your eyes! You look starved!" he screeches. No you idiot, I look like you're makin me look bad in front of a hot chick! He throws me over his shoulder and runs from the library. I have enough time to look up and see Tasha laughing while her mother talks at her. Well, so much for getting the girl....


Dad fidgets as I glare at him.

"Uh.. Sam?" he tries. I glare quietly. He looks over at Freddie who is finding Spencer's shoes very interesting.

"This isn't awkward at all...." Spencer says. I glare at him and he shrinks away. Carly clears her throat.

"So...what happened...exactly?" she asks. I turn to her and sigh.

"I dunno, I was workin' on my project next thing I know, I'm locked in there with an angry Tasha and a dead cellphone." I say. Dad puts a hand on my shoulder.

"Well it's getting late so why don't we talk about this tomorrow?" he throws out. I nod and grab my backpack while Carly and the dork follow us to the door. I hug them both while Freddie shakes dad's hand. Dad apologizes again.

"I'm sorry Sam!" he says when we're out of the building. "How was I supposed to know you hadn't eaten in hours...." he whines. See, see this is why I'm angry at him. He saves me, without food!


Tasha and I are sitting in class side by side not looking at each other. Me because she has on this shirt that I'm sure is against school policy and I've already fallen out of my chair four times. Her because....well I don't know. Freddie throws a piece of paper at me and it hits my head. I throw my shoe.

"Ahh!" he screams as it collides with is face. Our teacher doesn't even turn around.

"Samantha, I have repeatedly told you not to hit Fredward with random objects laying around the classroom. Apologize to him please." she says in a bored tone.

"Sorry Fredward...." I say just as bored.

"You should be nicer to him." Tasha whispers in my ear. Why's it so warm in here?

"Uh...." I start but can't think of anything to say.

"You wanna go out after school?" she asks. I turn and look at her and the confidence falls from her face little by little.

"Like... on a date?" I ask. She nods shyly and blushes. I nod and smile. "Sure." I say. The bell rings.

"I'll pick you up at your locker?" she asks. I nod with a smile. She stands quickly and kisses my cheek before walking away quickly. I know I got a goofy grin on my face right now.

"Here's your shoe..." Freddie grumbles. I nod and put it on quickly.

"Thanks." I say and leave the classroom without him or Carly. They follow behind me.

"Was there a new law passed saying she gets free food?" Carly whispers. I hear Freddie scoff.

"Nah, she's just got a date and... I'm starting to think she's a girl...." he trails off. He screams when my book collides with him.

"Puckett! Principal's office! Now!" ugh, I didn't do anything but his the local dork.
