After Bender and Vernon left, Andrew noticed that Samantha was still upset from her rant to Vernon. He needed to make it up to her for how much he upset her earlier. He really did like her and the last thing he wanted was to hurt her.

"Sam, can we talk for a moment?" Andrew asked. Samantha looked up at him, seeing the hurt look in his blue eyes. "Fine," she said, getting up from her seat and going to the corner of the room.

"What do you want to talk about, Andrew?" Samantha asked. "About what you said to him, that was brave of you," Andrew said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Brave of me? I was telling it how it is. That asshole has no right to treat us like shit. I'm getting tired of it," Samantha said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Yeah, you're right. Someone had to put him in his place," Andrew replied, feeling his heart racing in his chest. Samantha could tell by the look on his face that that's not why he dragged her away from the others.

"Stop bullshitting, Andrew. Why did you really drag me here?" she asked him. Andrew glanced down at his feet and said, "I… I wanted to say… I'm sorry," Samantha cocked her head to the right and asked, "Sorry for what?"

"For hurting you earlier. I didn't mean to. It's just that… what you told me had affected me and… it hurts me to see you like this. I don't want you to be hurting yourself anymore. Because I know somewhere underneath this facade, is a great and wonderful person that wants to be set free from that hell. You're a strong person, Samantha. And I'm sorry for hurting you like that…" Andrew said, staring into her hazel eyes.

Samantha felt her heart skip a beat at this speech. 'So… he does care about me? He didn't mean to hurt me and he felt guilty about it,' Samantha thought, feeling a tear run down her face. She smiled and hugged him around the neck to which he hugged her back, holding her close to him.

"I'm guessing you forgive me?" Andrew said with a smile. Samantha pulled back and kissed him again. He kissed back for a few moments. "I'll take that as a yes," Andrew chuckled once they pulled apart. Samantha smiled at him warmly, something that she hadn't done in a long time.

Andrew gave her a smile in return, hands on her hot cheeks and he kissed her again. It was just as great as the first kiss they had. Samantha wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling the kiss. Nobody had ever made her feel like this before. Andrew never thought he'd fall for somebody like Samantha, but the heart chooses what it wants.

After a few minutes, the two teens made their way back to Allison, Claire, and Brian. Andrew kept an arm slinked around Samantha's waist, keeping her close to him. They were talking to one another until they were interrupted by a loud crash from the ceiling.

"OH SHIIIIIIT!" Bender screamed as he fell through, landing on the floor with a hard thud. Everyone looked up to where the sound came from. "That's one way to make an entrance," Samantha joked in a whisper. Andrew and Claire nodded in agreement.

Bender walked down the stairs from the upper level of the library as if nothing happened. Although he did brush some of the debris from the ceiling off of him. Everyone was staring at him with their eyebrows raised. "Forgot my pencil," was all he said.

They weren't safe just yet because Vernon had heard what was going on from the bathroom. "Jesus Christ almighty!" he shouted, storming into the library, zipping up his pants. Bender quickly hid under the table Claire, Samantha, and Andrew were sitting at.

"What was the ruckus?" Vernon demanded, looking pissed off. They needed to act as if they didn't hear anything. "What ruckus?" Andrew said innocently. "I was just in my office and I heard a ruckus!" Vernon spat.

Samantha shrugged her shoulders and said, "We don't know what you mean," "Yeah, could you describe the ruckus, sir?" Brian asked respectfully, leaning forward on the table. He was enjoying the joke as much as the rest of them were. "Watch your tongue, young man! Watch it!" Vernon snapped, pointing a finger at him.

Bender had forgotten that he was underneath a table when he tried sitting up and ended up hitting his head against the table. "Agh!" he groaned loudly. Andrew was quick to bang both fists on the table in a beat where Bender added two of his own. Allison drops both legs on the floor.

Samantha slapped her palms on the table, Andrew and Claire quickly joining her with off-beat rhythms. "What is this? What is that noise?" Vernon asked as Andrew made a zipping noise. Samantha grinned when he did that and went back to ? What's that noise?" Vernon questioned as Andrew made a zipping sound. "What noise?" Andrew asked. Claire nods in agreement.

"There was no noise, sir. We were sitting here happy as larks," Samantha said sarcastically. Then, Bender had slinked his way between Claire's legs, dangerously close to her upper thigh. Claire quickly closed her legs on his head, making him groan.

They began to have a fake coughing fit to cover up the noise. "Was that the noise you were talking about?" Claire asked after releasing his head.

"No, it wasn't. That wasn't the noise I was talking about. Now, I may not have caught you in the act this time, but I bet you I will," Vernon insisted. Allison let out a loud shout of laughter.

"You make both on that, Missy! I will not be made a fool of!" He said, turning to walk out. They were finding it hard to not laugh when they saw the toilet seat cover hanging from his pants.

When Bender got out from the table, that's when Andrew and Samantha started to laugh hysterically. Claire started slapping Bender on the back as he crawled out. He looked back at her.

"It was an accident," Bender slyly said. "You're an asshole!" Claire spat back, glaring at him. "Sue me," Bender shrugged. He stands up and makes his way over to Brian. "So… Ahab, Kybo Mein Doobage," he said, holding out a hand.

Brian gives the dope to Bender. Afterward, he walks away with Claire behind him. "Yo, wastoid! You're not gonna blaze up in here!" Andrew protested.

Brian got up and followed them. Samantha was curious to know what getting high was about. "C'mon, Andy. Let's just see if he'll actually do it," she said, starting to get up. Andrew gave in and started to get up too, hand in Samantha's as they followed Bender and the others.

About ten minutes later, Brian, Bender, and Claire were blazing up their weed. Bender lights a match and lights Claire's stick up, making her cough the smoke out. Brian breaks out into hysterical laughter.

"Chicks, chicks cannot hold der smoke! That's what it is!" He says in a ghastly voice. They started bursting out laughing at how he said that. It was a terrible version of a blues singer. "Do you know how popular I am? I'm so popular that everyone in this school loves me," Claire said, sounding high from the weed.

"Poor baby," Bender said. Allison was the only one who wasn't high. She continued to stare at the three with a god-smacked expression. "Five," Brain said, completely stoned, holding up his hand for a high five. Bender leaned forward and slapped him so hard that he fell backwards in his chair, getting a roar of laughter.

From up above, there was loud rock music playing from the foreign languages room that was steamed up with smoke. Andrew opens the door, and both him and Samantha walk out. Samantha took another drag with her blunt before flicking it away. Andrew does too.

Afterward, the two look at one another with a grin before they both start to headbang to the music. Samantha took her hair down from her ponytail, letting her hair go every which way as she danced along the second floor with Andrew behind her.

As Andrew danced he took off his jacket and white sweater, throwing them across the library. He wore his sky blue Nike wife beater shirt. They started doing dance moves from the movie 'Dirty Dancing,' He flipped Samantha over his shoulder and even lifted her into the air by her waist for a moment. Andrew also did some backflips off of the bookshelves with a cheer.

From below, Claire and Brian were whistling as they watched both teens dance their hearts out. Afterward, they both went back into the language arts room, shutting the door before screaming until the door shattered. After that, Andrew pulled Samantha up to him, snaking an arm around her waist.

He pressed her up against the wall of the room, covering her lips with his own. The familiar feeling had caused Samantha's body to heat up. She couldn't get enough of Andrew. She still couldn't believe that Andy would choose someone like her and still have a hold of her.


I bet people are wondering why I'm putting Samantha with Andrew instead of Bender because I see a few stories where their oc ends up with Bender. Don't get me wrong, Bender is a great character but I always find him to be a bit toxic towards Claire and every girl he comes across. I put Samantha with Andrew because he's a better guy who understands and sympathizes with her. And he felt guilty for hurting her, to begin with after assuming Bender was lying when he was telling them about his home life.
