Piper called Paige a few minutes after Sam ran out to come and pick her up. She figured Sam didn't need to be bull rushed right now with lots of 'it's okay' and stuff like that.
Paige pulled up into the parking lot and Sam ran to the bug surprised. She jumped in and turned to Paige. "What are you doing here?"
"Piper called and said you wanted to be picked up." Paige told her confused. "Is everything okay?"
"Yea." Sam covered. "I just think that I'm coming down with something."
Paige shot her a worried look. "You have whitelighter in you, you're not supposed to get sick."
"I'm sure it's nothing." Sam assured he. Paige still didn't look convinced but let it sit for a bit. **************************************************************************** ***************
Once they got back to the Manor, Sam told Paige she was going to bed but she really just sat at her desk for a while looking at Jerald's business card. She looked back and forth countless times from her cell phone to the card or just at the card. She eventually walked over to her bed and flopped down onto it. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight so she rolled over and took out her box of songs. She pulled various ones out and read them over. She walked over to Phoebe's laptop that she had borrowed earlier for 'homework'. Since she was grounded again the only reason she got to use things were for homework. Luckily for Sam it was now Wednesday morning and she was off her grounding.
Sam turned the laptop on and clicked on a music mixer program she had installed. On her own time when Sam would get the computer she would make her own music backgrounds for her songs. Of course once she had installed the program and uploaded her recorded music and eventually her voice onto the hard drive, she password protected all her files so nobody else could know about them. Phoebe (who was second in line when it came to who Sam shared the laptop with the most since it was Phoebe's but Piper and Paige didn't seem to use it a lot.) respected Sam's desire for privacy and didn't bug her about the program.
She pulled out a song she had written when she was still living with the Chances, pulled out her computer Mic and hit record. First she would upload her voice and the song and then mix the music into it. **************************************************************************** ***************
The next thing Sam knew, Phoebe was shaking her awake. She brought her head off of the top of her desk and took the headphones off.
"Hey, it's time to get ready for school and I need my laptop for work today."
Sam rubbed her eyes and smoothed her hair back over her shoulder. "Oh, sorry. I must've have dozed off earlier." Sam unhooked the laptop from her outlet and handed it to Phoebe. "Sorry." She repeated.
"It's okay." Phoebe told her. "Get ready for school."
Sam nodded and Phoebe left. **************************************************************************** ***************
As soon as she arrived at school, DJ greeted her with a quick peck on the cheek. Sam's mind was extremely disoriented so she didn't really take in anything her boyfriend was saying but since even she was surprised and even a little worried that she couldn't focus on anything, she pretended to be understanding what he was talking about.
"Did you hear?" He exclaimed, not waiting an answer. "The school is having an air band/improv. (Impromptu.) Concert! You can either have the music played while your group pretends to play and sing the song or you can have your own little song made up and played by the group. What do you think?"
"Uh.. yea." Sam agreed, smiling.
"Great! Well I gotta go catch up with Mark and Shawn. I'll talk to you later?"
Sam nodded, still smiling and DJ ran off, in the direction behind her. She saw Alex up ahead at her locker and caught up to her.
"Hey. What's up?" She greeted still trying to focus on at least something.
"Nothing." Alex replied shortly.
Even Sam right then could catch onto Alex's tone. "Something wrong?"
"Nope." Alex replied again.
"I'm not stupid." Sam told her. "Is it me?"
"Newsflash Sam! The world - especially not mine! - doesn't revolve around you! Just leave it!"
Alex tried to walk away but Sam grabbed her arm and pushed her backward into the lockers. Alex looked scared as Sam moved in front of her.
"You listen to me and you listen to me good, Alexandra!"
Sam had never called Alex that in her life and same with Alex calling Sam 'Samantha'.
"I cannot focus on anything right now! My mind is spinning and I feel like I'm either going to pass our or throw up! I do not need my best friend, giving me this shit to deal with on top of everything else right now! So unless what's going through your mind is that you don't want to be friends with me anymore, lose the attitude!"
Sam walked away to Social Studies, one of the only two classes, Sam didn't share with Alex. **************************************************************************** ***************
