Chapter 10: Hurry up, Cause I've Got a Hot Date

Sam stomped out of the room with Jen followed closely on her heels.

"Sam! What is wrong with you?" Jen shouted, clearly confused. Sam spun around and pointed her finger angrily in Jen's pale face. Jen's blue eyes widened. Was Sam going to punch her?

"You! You're the problem!" Sam shouted.

"Me? What the heck did I do?" Jen asked, still confused.

"You! You used to support me when I did stuff. I say I don't like Jake, and you're all 'Oh, yeah, she doesn't like Jake.' And then you go telling me that 'Oh, you can look wherever you want but you're never going to find another boy that loves you like Jake Ely.' You hate Jake Ely! You always have! And if you love him so much why don't you go and kiss him for all I care!!" Sam snarled. Jen's face suddenly turned understanding.

"Sam… I don't hate Jake Ely. I never have. He's just not the boy for me. He never has been. We're too much alike. And plus, I just don't like him that way. But Jake Ely is the boy for you." Jen told her, her eyes growing wide, trying to make her understand, but unfortunately Sam didn't understand.

"You know what! I am sick of every single one of you people in this hotel! I don't know why you all think you can pick out the boy for me. Cause you can't. And no matter how hard you try Jake Ely will NEVER be the boy for me! And you can't make him!" Sam growled.

"We know we can't Sam. But we have confidence that someday you'll figure it out on your own." Jen told her sounding mysterious. Sam shrieked extremely loudly, and running her hands through her auburn hair she ran down the hallway. This time Jen did not follow her. Jen was certain- Sam would figure it out eventually.

Sam ran down the hallway, her face as bright red as her hair. She wasn't sure why this made her so angry, but somehow these comments about Jake made her blood boil more than anything else she'd ever had to endure.

Maybe that's because they're true.

Shut up, little voice! No one likes you!

Sam shook her head as he realized that she had been talking to herself, and ran quicker. Maybe if she ran fast she could escape the truth.

Rjay's face grew angry as he opened up the door.

"Sam! What are you doing here! First you go insulting me and then you come back her shouting about taking you to the airport!" His face was about as red as Sam's now.

"Come, on Rjay. I'm sorry about what I said. I didn't even mean to say it. I'm not even sure what I said. It's been a long day, and I'm not even sure what's going on… but I do know that I NEED to get to the airport." Sam said, trying to remain calm, but not quite sure why she was mad. Wow, boy am I confused.

Rjay sighed. Somehow he couldn't ever figure out what was going on in Sam's head. Girls…

"Okay, why do you need to go to the airport?" Rjay asked.

"I just do." Sam told him, realizing that she didn't really know herself.

"That's not really the answer I was looking for." Rjay said with another sigh. Maybe it was just the whole female gender that acted like this.

"Come on, Rjay… I need you to do this for me." Sam pleaded, pushing out her lower lip. Rjay looked up at her and then wished that he hadn't.

"Okay, let's go. But you better make this quick. Cause I've got a hot date." He smiled.

"Hot, date, huh?" said Sam with a grin. "With who?" she asked.

"Rachel Slocum. Can you believe it?" asked Rjay excitedly. Sam almost swayed with the shock.

"Are you kidding me?" Sam asked him, sure that he was joking around. Who in their right mind would want to go out with Rachel? And then she remembered, oh, right, two-thirds of the male student population. Actually, all of them except Jake and her brother.

"No, not kidding. Let's get going. I need to be back soon." He pulled her arm and rushed her through the door. He turned back toward her and asked, "Have you ever noticed how good she smells? Like strawberries!" He grinned.

Sam groaned.

All throughout the rest of the car ride Rjay talked about no one other than Rachel Slocum. About how good she smelled, how nice she was, how sweet she was, how pretty she was. But Sam wasn't really listening. She was busy wondering what she was doing going to the airport. She wasn't going home, was she? Surely not. So why was she going there. When the arrived, she step out of the car and waited for Rjay.

"You coming?" she asked. He hesitated for a moment and then stepped out of the car.

"Well, I better come along just to make sure that you don't hurt yourself or get lost in the baggage claim or something." She rolled her eyes at him. To think that a boy that nice would go out with Rachel Slocum. What was the world coming to? And Sam didn't even know that her world was about to turn more inside out than ever.

I hope that you liked it! It will probably have two more chapters after this one. One more real chapter and then an epilogue. It might turn out to be more than that, but I'm pretty sure that two more chapters is the most that you guys are going to get. If it's worthy you never know when a sequel is going to pop up, lol. Well you know the drill… if you read it, review it! And if you didn't read it, then just don't bother because that is just plain annoying.

Thanks again,
