Chapter Six:
Sam woke up the next day tired, she didn't sleep real well. She was up half the night thinking of what to say to Tiffany, so far she'd come up empty handed. She reluctantly got dressed and headed off to school, she was not looking forward to this.
When she got there Michelle was waiting for her outside, she was sitting on the front steps.
"What are you doing here?" Sam asked.
"I was sick on Friday, and I was busy all weekend." Michelle said standing up and following Sam inside.
"That's okay, anything fun happen?"
"Didn't you hear about Tiff?"
"Hear what?"
"She tried out for cheer leading on Friday, and made the squad."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, her and Katinka are the best of friends now."
"Shit." Sam muttered.
"What? Is there something wrong?"
"Uh...I've got to get to class, I'll catch you later." Sam said running down the hallway.
"Alright, bye."
Sam was the first one to get there, she sat down quickly and started thinking. That's why Tiffany came to her house, she was being a scout for Katinka. Before Sam could think anymore, the teacher walked in.
"Well Samantha, you're here early."
Sam didn't answer her, she just sat there. Soon after the teacher came in the room was full of kids, Mikey included. Sam did her usual drawing, not paying attention to a single word. She didn't even hear the bell ring.
"Samantha? You can leave now." the teacher broke her thoughts.
She grabbed her stuff and left, good thing Michelle was waiting at her locker.
"Michelle, I have to tell you something about Mikey." Sam blurted out as soon as she walked up to her.
"What is it?" Michelle asked surprised.
"He went out with Katinka, but that was only after Tiffany was at my house. She asked me if I was dating Mikey, I told her we only went out once. But I figured out, it was all so she could tell Katinka." Sam finished out of breath.
Michelle stood there, with her eyes wide.
"Wait, you went out with Mikey?"
"Yeah once, but it didn't really work out."
"You went out with Mikey, and you didn't bother telling me?"
"Michelle don't you start, I can only take losing one best friend at a time."
"You're not going to lose me, you just didn't bother giving me details." she said grinning.
Sam felt relieved, but soon she had to get to history. Yet another class with Mikey, could this day get any worse?
She went in and sat down, Mikey was already there. She tried not to check him out, but it didn't work. Good thing he wasn't looking, then she would've been embarrassed. Class was soon over, and her drawing was coming out nicely.
Sam and Michelle sat down away from everyone else, Sam didn't feel like having to play 20 questions. Soon they saw Katinka walk up to Mikey, and sit herself down. Mikey didn't look to thrilled, but Katinka sure did.
Lunch seemed to be over way to soon, Sam was on her way to the bathroom when she saw Mikey. He was coming her way, damn she was doing so well avoiding him.
She quickly went into the bathroom, hopefully he didn't see her. She waited for a while, and when she peeked out the door she didn't see him. This was the perfect time, just as the door closed behind her she saw him. He was standing right there, waiting for her.
"Hey Sam." He said cheerfully.
"Hey."
"I haven't talked to you all day, what's going on?"
"Nothing, now if you'd excuse me, I have to get to class." she said trying to walk away.
"That's fine, I've got that one too." he said walking next to her.
"So, what'd you do last night?"
"Stayed home, watched some tv."
"But I went by your house, Moe said you'd left."
"He was uh..covering for me, I usually don't like people coming by."
Sam didn't say anything, instead she went in and sat down. They'd talked the whole way to class, so it didn't seem to take as long. Sam was drawing the whole time, she caught every fifth word. After class she met Michelle at her locker.
"So? How'd you're day go?" Michelle asked sounding bored.
"Boring, and you?"
"Same."
"So what do you wanna do?"
"I don't know."
"How about we go up to that park? You know, the one right up the street from me."
"I'm game, lets go."
Sam and Michelle walked the whole way, neither one really saying anything. When they got there, no one seemed to be there. Which was kind of odd, but they really didn't care. They both sat down on some swings.
"Wanna have a swinging contest, for old times sake?" Sam asked.
"Sure, but you know I'm gonna kick you're ass."
"Yeah right, you haven't kicked my ass since 2nd grade."
Soon they were both going pretty high, they seemed to both be going just as high. They were having a blast when suddenly Sam spotted Moe, she wasn't paying much attention but then he started coming their way. Sam had almost completely lost control of her swing, and she fell off at the highest point.
She quickly got up and brushed herself off, she looked back at Michelle and got kicked in the face. She once again quickly got up but it was too late, Moe was standing right in front of her.
"Are you okay?" Moe asked trying not to laugh, he had seen the whole thing.
"I'll be fine." Sam shrugged.
Michelle quickly jumped off the swing, and went over to Sam.
"Oh my God, Sam I'm soo sorry." she said trying not to laugh.
"I'm fine."
"Do you want me to call an ambulance?" Moe asked.
"Naw, I'll be fine. Thanks anyway."
It wasn't until now that Sam realized Moe was in a cop's uniform, she had no idea what to say.
"Hi, I'm Michelle Sam's friend." Michelle said shaking his hand.
"I'm Moe, Mikey's older brother."
"Nice to meet you."
Sam sat there getting dizzy, she wasn't sure if it was the kick to the face or not. She sat there watching everything spin, then it just went dark.
She woke up in the hospital, she had no idea how she got there. She looked around the room and spotted Michelle, she went to say something but moaned instead.
"Hey Sam." Michelle said standing up. "You're in the hospital, you fainted in the park. Moe called an ambulance, they said you'll be fine."
Sam sat there for a minute, letting that information sink into her thick head. It hurt to talk, but she did it anyway.
"You didn't call my mom did you?"
"No I called Chad instead, he's on his way."
After about an hour Sam felt a lot better, they decided to go home. She just wanted to go to sleep, when they got there her mother was gone. Sam went into her room and fell right to sleep, at about 3a she woke up.
She layed there for a while, she couldn't get back to sleep. She actually felt rested, she looked in her mirror and saw the swelling had gone down. She was bored and figured she'd go for a walk, she figured as long as she stayed on her street she'd be fine.
She walked down the street towards Mikey's house, it was the only one with a light on. She stood at the walkway for a while, she wasn't sure if Mikey was awake or not. She turned to leave and heard glass breaking, people screaming.
She didn't know why but she seemed to be frozen there, like maybe the powers that be wanted to show her something. She stood there for about 20 minutes, she wasn't sure if she should call the cops. She just stood there she felt like an ass, she wasn't doing anything.
She finally decided to go home, she was sure to remember the house number. She ran into her room and called the police, she waited until she heard the sirens. She went outside and waited for the police to show up, she had a clear view to their house. She then saw them taking someone away, she wasn't sure who.
The Boscorelli house was always the quiet one, never anything louder then the tv. They were really good neighbors, but something went wrong. After the cops left she figured she'd go see if everyone was alright, by now it was like 4:30a.
She walked down and knocked on the door, she heard footsteps getting closer. She then heard a deadbolt being unlocked, the door finally opened and Mikey was standing there.
