Hello, guys! I hope you're all still enjoying the story. I feel horrible if you aren't. I'm trying to do well, haha c: enjoy!
Sammy had a good time hanging out with Jasmine and Shawn. For once, she didn't feel like their third wheel. All three tried to look for fish, but found none. Very weird, in their opinion.
Now, Sammy was tired and planned to go to sleep soon. She was already ready. The only difficulty of going to sleep was Rodney bothering Scarlett. His voice was too loud for anyone to sleep. She'd tell him, but that would be rude.
"Sis? We need to talk!" came a yell from outside. Sammy jumped at the sound of her sister. She wondered what she did wrong, but realized that Amy was nicer now. She wasn't as nervous.
Outside, Amy was becoming impatient. Still slow, I see, she thought t herself frustratedly. She reminded herself to seem nice. She put a pity look on.
Sammy was out in ten seconds. She looked at her sister. "Yes, Amy?"
Amy reluctantly put a hand on her shoulder. "It's about Topher. . "
Sammy's eyes widened. "Wh-what about him?"
Amy sighed sadly. "While I was walking back here, I saw him. He was sighing. I heard him mutter the words 'you cam love more than one, Topher.'"
Sammy's nerves were shot. "Are you-you sure?" She didn't want to believe this at all. It couldn't happen to her already!
Amy nodded. "Of course, he could have meant more than one food, but that doesn't really male sense, does it? Don't react too bad right now. We aren't sure yet. I'll watch out for him, okay?" Amy gave her sister a sympathetic smile. "You have bags under your eyes, you better get to bed. " She patted Sammy's cheek before walking off.
Sammy indeed went to bed, but didn't sleep. How could she? There was the possibility that Topher loved another girl!
It'd make sense, Sammy thought, every other girl here is much better than me. Amy was always the prettiest, Ella is like a princess, Sugar is in pageants, Sky had a pretty smile and was really nice, Scarlett is super smart, and Jasmine is the sweetest person ever! Sammy felt plain next to all of them.
But Amy was right. She shouldn't come to accusations yet. That could ruin everything. She didn't want to screw up with him. She loved him so much.
Sammy fell asleep at about four in the morning with a tear streaked face.
*Amy in confessional*
"Of course she can't accuse him yet! We gotta scare here more, ruin her more! It's the best idea in the world. If she accuses him now, it won't be much fun."
* The next day, Sammy was surprised to see Topher was already up. . .looking on Chris's cell phone. Oh, how Sammy wanted to break that phone. Remembering Amy's words, Sammy sighed.
Topher heard her walk towards him and joyfully hugged her. This is a good sign . . . Sammy thought to herself, seeming to relax a little.
"Morning, Sammy," Topher told his girlfriend, still holding her in an embrace. Sammy smiled halfheartedly.
"Morning, Topher. . .what got you up so early?"
Topher le go and shrugged. "Just happened, I guess. Going foraging with Bigfoot again?" Sammy narrowed her eyes. "Kidding, kidding."
"I was planning on foraging. . ." Sammy mumbled, wondering if his names for Jasmine were out of endearment. Don't be jealous, Sammy!
"Do you even like doing that? It's not really fun," Topher questioned.
"I like it because it's quiet, and Jasmine became my best friend that way," she replied.
Topher noticed Sammy was acting odd. "Okay, what's wrong?" He looked at her sincerely.
Sammy thought about it and sighed. "I just. . .I really love you. I want you to know that, okay?" Her heart begged for him to love her right back, but not falsely.
Topher kissed her head. "I really love you, too. You mean more to me than me."
Sammy cracked a smile at the last part. Her heart was saying "See? No big deal!" Her mind was saying "It's an act! Don't believe him!" So Sammy was still confused.
She couldn't stand here contemplating it any longer. "I have to go get Amy up to forage with Jasmine and me!" She ran up into the tree cabin in a hurry.
Topher shrugged, looking through Chris's photos. "Must be her question mark, or whatever it's called," he muttered, as he rammed into a tree.
"OW!"
Have an excellent day/night! X
