Untold Feelings
Danny slowly crept through the hallways, feeling rather lousy and pathetic. He hadn't slept the entire night, he was too worried and too frustrated to sleep. Of course he was still upset about what happened with Sam, and he truly hoped that that was Derek and not Sam speaking those words to him. But, deep down, he realized that he was being a jealous jerk about it all, and maybe Sam was right, maybe he really didn't deserve her trust.
"Hey, Danny!"
He turned around, Tucker rushing down the hall towards him. "Hey, did you hear?"
"Hear what?" Danny muttered, tired of all the rumors going on.
"Derek and Sam are voted for the cutest couple in the school!"
"Great," Danny said, with more sarcasm than he intended.
Tucker sighed, "Dude, Danny, you need to get over it. You had your chance with Sam, but you missed it."
"Am I just supposed to wave a white flag in the air and let Derek take her away? I don't think so, Tuck."
"You're overreacting. What do you mean take her away? He's just going out with her."
Danny shook his head, grabbing Tucker by the arm and dragged him down the hall and into a closet.
"Dude," Tucker said, lifting up a fallen mop from his shoulder. "Why'd you drag me in the janitor's closet?"
"So you can listen to me and not rag on me about Sam," Danny said. "Listen, Derek's a ghost."
"A ghost? Really?"
"Tucker, will you listen? Derek is a ghost, and he's after Sam!"
"What does he want with her?"
"I don't know…"
"You're sure you're not just jealous?"
"Tucker! Would you drop that already? Derek told me himself he's after Sam, but he won't tell me why."
"Have you told Sam?"
His sour expression turned to sorrow, his eyes casting down to the ground. "She… she wouldn't believe me."
Tucker frowned, seeing more in his friend's eyes. "What else?"
"She also told me," He paused. Crap, this is harder than I thought it would be. Why can't I just come out and say it! "To… leave her alone. Never… never see her again." Oh, fudge, here it comes again, more pain.
"Oh, man, I'm sorry," Tucker said, finally realizing Danny's pain.
Danny could only nod, not sure what to say. And they just stood there, in awkward silence. Tucker just stared at him, not knowing what else to say to help ease his friend's pain.
"Listen, it's not important right now," Danny said, shaking his head clean from his thoughts of Sam. "I need you to keep an eye on Derek and Sam, okay? I'll try to see if I can get any more info on this creep before anything worse happens."
Tucker nodded, "You got it, buddy."
Sam watched as just about everyone's eyes were cast on her. Every girl she passed seemed to give her a hard, stone cold look. No, it wasn't her. It was her arm. Yes, it was her arm they were glaring at. She glanced down, and she saw her arm wrapped around Derek's. He was guiding her through the halls of her own school, and yet she couldn't turn away, no matter how much she wanted to. She gritted her teeth behind her lips, and tried to act as natural as possible.
He was flashing a flirting smile to every girl he passed, and Sam could only roll her eyes. If she was really interested in this guy, he would be dead by now for looking at other girls. But, at this moment, she didn't care what Derek was doing. All she could focus on was the threats he made to her, and how she told Danny to leave her alone.
Regret still filled her heart as she was lead passed Danny's locker. He wasn't standing there, like he normally was during this time of day. She felt her heart sink as she saw Tucker's locker was left alone as well. Did Danny tell Tucker what she had said? Are they both ignoring her? Tears glistened in her eyes, but she refused to let them out. Just having Danny ignoring her was enough pain, but now Tucker. Both of her best friends had left her alone with this beast that held her arm.
If it wasn't for this stupid spell he has on me, Sam though bitterly. I would be long gone by now.
Derek's grip on her arm tightened, and she winced in pain as his nails sunk into her skin. "Now, now," he whispered softly to her. "You must behave. Don't you remember? I hold your heart in my hands."
Sam bit her bottom lip as she whispered back, "I remember. Sorry."
He patted her arm gently, a wicked smile on his lips. "That's a good girl."
Sam watched again as her female classmates gave her dirty looks, and yet all she could do was stare blankly back at them. If only you knew the truth behind it all, she thought towards them. Then you wouldn't be jealous of me.
