Chapter 2
--------------------------------------------------------
"I didn't think you and Sammy would have a fight over something so small. I remember when I fought with one of my best friends..."
Ray was explaining to Reggie that not talking to Sam was a really stupid idea, but Reggie wasn't in the mood for one of Raymundos flashbacks. She was really stuck on what to do. She didn't want to apologise, because he was the one that tried to read her notebook.
"I have to go work on some stuff upstairs." Reggie ran up to her room and paced the floor.
Otto knocked on the door soon after, but Reggie was too deep in thought to hear him. He let himself in.
"Geez! There's a little thing called knocking, Otto!" Reggie snapped.
"I just came up to give you this. Squid wanted you to have it, some ideas for the zine or something. We're going to Madtown, you coming?"
Behind him, Reggie could see Sammy and Twister waiting, though it seemed Sammy was trying to keep out of her sight.
"Well thanks for that. I might join you later and tell your friend that if he has something for me, to hand it to me himself." She slammed the door in Otto's face.
"Man, whats up with her. Is it that time of the month?" Otto asked.
"Well, let's go anyway. She's made it clear she doesn't want to come."
"What's up Squid? You and her fighting or something?" Otto asked.
"No! Now let's get going!" Before either of the boys could reply he was out the door.
Reggie was in her room, reading the apology letter that Sam had wrote to her.
"I'm really sorry about last night. Hopefully we won't be avoiding each other for long. Because that would make things really awkward as we have never fought before. Squid."
Reggie was glad that Sam apologised, but she didn't want to let him know she forgave him. She remembered the saying Treat em mean, keep em keen, figuring that it might just be a good way to go about her situation.
"Say hello to the ice queen!" Reggie cried out. "If I just ignore him, then he'll be doubling his efforts and after this fight, he'll really want to see me, which makes it even better." After that, she pulled on her skates to catch up with the guys.
She could see all three of them clearly. Otto showing off on the half pipe, Sam trying his best at grinding and Twister getting it all on tape. Reggie saw Sam fall over, her first instinct being to run and help him up like she always did, but she talked herself out of it and turned around to get a large order of fries from the Shore Shack.
"Man that was awesome! Reggie, you had to see it, Squid actually made a grind!" Otto exclaimed.
"And I got it all on Twister vision!"
Reggie appeared to seem more intrested in her fries and mumbled a response. She felt kind of guilty and wanted nothing more than to say how cool she thought it was. No, I am the Ice Queen, make him come to me, Reggie kept repeating to herself, not even looking at her brother or her friends.
"Reggie, are you even listening? I said-" Twister started, but Reggie interupted.
"I heard you, Maurice." Reggie said bluntly, knowing that it really bugged Twister when anyone, especially his friends, called him that.
"Whatever. Im going to get some munchies." Otto dragged Twister along with him to stop a grudge match over his real name following.
Sam came nervously up to Reggies side. "Umm...mind if I sit down?" she didnt reply, so he made another attempt at conversation. "So, did you read the note I gave you?"
"Maybe." Reggie answered.
"Well, as you heard, I did my first perfect grind. Want me to show you? I mean, I don't know if I can do it again, but I can try." Sam was so desperate to get her talking. It was killing him that he had no idea what she was thinking.
"Oh look, Im out of french fries and I have to work on the zine. Bye Sammy." Reggie skated off. She looked back and saw Sam watch her from the table. Knowing that her plan was working and that she would soon know how important she was to Sam.
Sam lay back on his top bunk again, dreading school the next day. He kept wondering what he had to do to make Reggie feel like he did, or atleast friendship. Why was she being so cold today? He thought, after all it was her advice that he keep trying until he got it right.
"What if she really feels she can't trust me?" Sam pondered, until he went to sleep.
In the Rocket house, Reggie couldn't sleep. She wondered if being an Ice Queen was perhaps being a little too harsh. It was only her first day after all. After awhile, she decided to continue the routine for a week, to see how it would go.
In school the next day, Sam couldn't look Reggie in the eye. Reggie was brushing him off if not ignoring him. Sam, as Reggie had predicted been trying to talk to her more and figure out what exactely she was thinking.
Thursday finally came, and Sam was really sick of being brushed off. Halfway through his poetry homework, he decided to go to Reggies and see why she wouldn't talk to him.
Nervously waiting at the door, Otto answered. "Hey Squid, I can't go skating now, I have to finish the project me and Twist are doing for class."
"That's okay, I actually wanted to see Reggie. Is she home?"
"I knew it! You guys did have a fight. What about?"
Reggie was upstairs listening to them talking. "I can't believe it, it's working." She walked down the stairs as though she couldn't care less who was at the door, but went outside with Sam to talk on the porch.
"I want to know why we haven't been talking all week." Sam started. "I know you were upset, but this whole thing is stupid."
"What's the matter Sam, do you miss me?" Reggie asked.
Sam blushed, so glad she didn't notice. "I just don't want us to fight anymore. After all, how are you going to publish your surprise without me."
Reggie smiled. "Right. Thanks for coming over. I promise I won't ignore you again. Friends?" Both their hands were going in for a woogie, but instead, they just held hands for a few seconds.
"Friends." Sam agreed, letting go and turning back to his house.
Reggie sat at her desk trying to think of a poem that described how she was feeling. All she could think about was that 3 seconds where she could have told him how she felt. She wrote down on the paper:
I know we are friends,
But I want so much more,
In my soul I love you,
Deep down to the core,
I know there are things,
that shouldn't have happened,
but I feel this way so,
NOTICE ME, DAMMIT!
