Ch 10 –Talking and Fights

By the time school was over, Sam was ready to go home and see her dad. She had missed him so much over the past week. She and Jen had just met at her lockers, and Jen was complaining about Darrell.

"I think you like Darrell!" Sam interrupted her.

Jen slammed her locker shut. "What did you just say Samantha Ann Foster?"

"I think you like Darrell…" Sam said closing her locker as well.

Jen looked at her with disbelief written all over her face. "Sam are you sick or something? Darrell is the most…I don't even have words to explain what Darrell is!" Jen hissed.

Sam smiled at her friend, "Okay I'm sorry…forget I mentioned it at all!" Sam muttered as they made their way out into the parking lot.

Jen smiled hooking arms with Sam. "Oh you know I'm not mad at you Sam, maybe I do like Darrell…But it wouldn't matter even if I did, he doesn't like me."

Sam turned and gave a small smile, "Well it's his lose Jen, you're way better than any other girl!"

Jen smiled, "Thanks Sam," she muttered as the two stopped at Jake's car. "Isn't your dad coming home today?"

Sam squealed, "Yes! I can't wait to see him!"

Jen laughed, "You're such a daddy's girl! But don't worry it's cute."

Sam rolled her eyes, as she sat in the back of Jake's truck.

"You look tired" Jen commented, as the two laid back and closed their eyes.

"I got like 4 hours of sleep last night" Sam muttered, as she closed her eyes. "I kept waking up."

"That sucks." Jen commented.

"Where do you think Jake is?" asked Sam finally sitting up about 20 minutes later.

"I don't know," Sam muttered looking around the now almost empty parking lot. "Who knows with Jake."

Jen sighed jumping out of the back of the truck. "Come on let's go inside, he's probably in the office."

Sam nodded her head, following Jen back into the school.

"Well what are you two lovely ladies still doin' here?" asked a voice to the side of them.

Sam and Jen turned to See Ryan Slocum.

"Hey Ryan, what are you still doing here?" asked Sam walking over to the door way he was standing in.

"Waiting for detention to let out," Ryan muttered indicating to the other boys who were in there.

"Ah Ryan's been a bad boy" Sam joked. "What'd you do this time?"

"I helped rash the room where a sub was." Ryan said shrugging his shoulders innocently.

Sam laughed, while Jen gave him a disappointed look.

"That is so rude especially to a sub Ryan!" Jen ranted, "We're suppose to be representing our school!"

"Calm down Jen!" Sam laughed, "He didn't light the school on fire."

Jen turned to glare at Sam, "Whoa! Sorry I was just trying to stick up for a friend!"

"Sam!" a voice yelled down the hall.

Sam turned and saw Jake walking towards her. "Hey!" Sam said giving him a quick kiss.

Jen noticed the glare that Ryan cast at Jake as he put his arm around her.

"Ready to go?" asked Jake.

Sam smiled up at him, "Yeah, bye Jen, I'll see you tomorrow, bye Ryan!" Sam said giving the two a small hug.

"What have you got against Sam and Jake?" asked Jen turning on Ryan as Sam and Jake were out of ear shot.

"I don't have anything against them!" Ryan muttered kicking the side of the door.

"Than why anytime you see them together you give Jake a mean glare?" asked Jen. "Stop walking away from me!" Jen demanded as he made his way outside. "Don't you have detention?"

"Look Jen, I know you're this little goody school girl, but I'm not like you! And yes I have detention, but who gives a shit!" Ryan said turning on her.

"Ryan what the hell is wrong with you?" Jen yelled loudly as they entered the parking lot.

Sam and Jake who had been making out by his car stopped.

"None of your business Jen! Just stay out of it!" Ryan yelled.

"I haven't done anything to you except ask you a question!" Jen screamed back at him.

"Look Jen, I've got some shit goin on in my house, and I don't want you or anybody else involved in it!" Ryan yelled.

Sam held Jake back as he was about to walk over to Ryan.

"Jake leave them alone, they're just fighting." Sam muttered to him, as she watched two of her friend fighting.

"Are you kidding me Ryan!" Jen yelled, "You can't even tell your own friends? That really shows how close we are!"

"Whatever Jen" Ryan muttered, before getting in his car and driving away.

Jen rolled her eyes, and sat down on the side walk with her head down.

Sam sighed, "Um Jake, I can get a ride home, I'm gonna stay with Jen." Sam muttered turning towards Jake.

Jake groaned pulling her closer. "But Sam!" Jake whined.

Sam hit him playfully, "Jake Ely!" she scolded, "Plus, the more time were away from each other, the more fun we have when we see each other again…" She leaned up to give him a kiss but stopped where there lips were less than a centimeter away. "See ya tomorrow cowboy!" she said teasingly before turning and walking over to Jen.

She smiled when she heard Jake groan. She knew it was mean to be a tease towards him, but she just couldn't help it.

Jake honked as he pulled out of the parking lot.

Sam walked over towards Jen as she sat on the sidewalk. "Hey hottie!" she joked as she sat down next to her.

Jen smiled slightly, as she noticed it was Sam.

"Oh come on Jen!" Sam muttered trying to cheer her up, "The Jennifer Marie Kenworthy I know would never let a boy who yelled at her get her down!"

Jen sighed, "Yeah but those other boys aren't Ryan Slocum."

Sam fought the urge to roll her eyes, 'Now Jen…" Sam started, "Ryan…he's just mad and you know his family…he just needs some time to think, and when he does he'll…hopefully apologize."

Jen sighed as the two stood up, "Oh Samantha Ann!"

"Ahh so now were back to Samantha Ann?" asked Sam jokingly, "Just a few hours ago weren't we at Samantha Ann Foster?"

Jen hit her lightly, "Come on my mom can give you a lift home." Jen said as they headed towards her mothers car.

By the time Sam got home, she didn't even have time to change cloths before she had to do her chores. "Sorry baby," Sam muttered to Ace, as she gave him a kiss, "But I've got to finish my chores before Dad gets home!" Sam gave Ace one last kiss, before heading towards the barn.

After cleaning out all the stalls, she quickly filled up all the water buckets, and headed towards the chicken coop. After collecting all the eggs, she ran inside to open all the curtains. Running upstairs to change into pink sweatpants, and a white tube top, Sam headed outside to let Ace run around.

"Ready to go for a little exercise baby?" asked Sam as she put on his bridal. "Hmm it looks like it might rain, so how about we just hang in the arena?" Sam decided to ride bare back, so she had to practically take a running jump to get onto his back.

She led him into the arena, letting Ace just fool around for a little while, before pushing him into a canter. "Good boy Ace!' Sam gushed, as she pushed him over the jumps.

Sam was so busy cantering him around she didn't notice Jake pull up in his truck.

"Hey Brat!" he yelled as he sat on the fence.

"Hey yourself." Sam muttered as she pulled ace to a stop next to him.

"You look good riding him, he seems to be getting better jumping." Jake commented as he pat Ace lightly.

Sam laughed lightly. "Yeah only when he wants to, normally he'll just swerve around them." She muttered as she easily swung down. "Plus, he's being good today, because he knows Dad's coming home today." She muttered giving his star a quick kiss.

Jake rolled his eyes at her. "You do know he doesn't understand one word your saying."

Sam sighed at him as he walked along side her as she went to put him back in the pasture. "Do you know you've told me that since I was what like seven?" Sam said as she put Ace in the pasture. She then turned to Jake, and leaned herself against his legs, as he sat on the fence. "And I haven't listened to a single word you've said."

Jake smiled, leaning down to give her a kiss. "Yeah that's the part of you that attracts me!" Jake said sarcastically.

Sam laughed, "What can I say, I'm a very attractive girl!"

Jake rolled his eyes, "Great now your getting an ego!" he muttered.

"What can I say, you're rubbing off on me!" Sam muttered.

Jake gave her a look, and Sam shut up.

"So," she said turning to lean back on Ace, "Jen likes both Darrell and Ryan!"

Jakes face turned from a smile to a frown. "Darrell and Ryan?"

Sam nodded her head.

"Okay first off Darrell isn't interested in any sophomore, except maybe you, but he just likes you as a friend, and second, Ryan is a Slocum." Jake said, "Your not encouraging her to date them are you?"

Sam sighed, "Look Jake, I know it sounds wrong, but Jen's my friend, and if she likes somebody, I have to respect that!"

Jake jumped off the fence and towered over her. "Sam they're both bad news, I can't believe you would let your friend get hurt by them!" Jake yelled.

Sam stepped back a couple feet in shock. Why was Jake getting so mad about this? she wondered. "Why are you yelling?"

"What do you mean why am I yelling?" he yelled. "You're letting your friend get hurt!"

Sam didn't want to fight with him, and she didn't know why he was getting so mad. Sam just turned and walked towards the house, slamming the door behind her.

Jake sighed as he leaned against her front door. 'Why'd you do that Jake? Damit' you just started dating her, and already you just yelled at her!' he scolded himself. "Sam!" he said to the closed door, "Come on open the door! I'm sorry…please just open the door!"

The door opened, revealing a very pissed off Sam. "What?"

"Look," Jake said sighing, "I'm sorry that I yelled, I don't know why I did…It's just that you don't know Darrell like I know him…" he explained, "And Ryan…I don't know but he obviously likes you, and that makes me mad thinking of somebody else possibly liking you." He said looking down at the ground.

Sam smiled, before standing on her tip toes and giving him a sweet kiss. "Next time just don't get all jealous, and tell me instead of yelling at me!" Sam muttered, before pulling him inside the house for a little private make out time before Dad, Gram, Bryanna, and the other cowboys got home.
