Chapter 3- I Want to Break Free
Skip to Sunday.
Sam awoke with a start after having a strange dream involving her standing on a large stage with hundreds of people in front of her screaming her name. Just like every Sunday morning she checked her email and was surprised when it was full of threatening comments calling her a freak and telling her to not bother going to school on Monday because she could give them bad ideas. If you thought that was weird you should've been in Sam's position when Monday came, everyone was giving her looks not unlike the one Alex had given her. They also called her a freak at every possible moment, even the teachers seemed to dislike her that day which was unusual because she was the smartest kid in school. At one point all the Teen Queens came up to Sam and told her that she was not one of them and never would be then Stacy, the leader of the group or "herd" as Sam liked to call them, called her an individual creep then as if on queue all the others called her anything along the lines of freak and weirdo. More angry than upset Sam made her way home from school but got pulled down an alleyway yet again by Alex, "hey Sammy how'd you like school today?" he asked with an evil smirk.
"It was you, you told them to treat me like that but why?"
"ha you can't be serious, wow Sam you're dumber than I thought, I only told them it was ok to call you those things, they'd been dying to for ages" then just like last time he left her upset and angry in the alleyway for her to make her way home.
Their parents weren't home this time, all Sam knew was that they had been called over to a special business trip and wouldn't be home until around noon the next day, She saw this as a great opportunity as Alex had just gone out with his friends, Sam walked along to her mum and dads room and looked in her mum's laundry closet where there were some black sheets that had been left in there for ages. Then she found a needle and some red thread and took them back to her room, her next step was the garage. "yes just where I thought" the one thing Sam had been looking for was in an old dirty box left in the far corner that she had seen her father put some old boots in about a year ago. The boots were in there just a little scuffed up but would look good with what she had in mind.
Sam stayed in her room cutting up the black sheet until it was how she wanted it, and then used the red thread to seal it up at the right bits. To add to the effect she had managed to create a fake ID to download a black skirt and jumper "I'd like to see those Teen Queens do that". Sam heard Alex get home but she didn't need to worry about him as there was no way he could get into her room so she just carried on with what she was doing. After she was sure that her clothes were different enough to all the Gaga clothes Sam went into the bathroom to do something she had been dying to do for ages, dye her hair. Her mum had only ever let Sam put streaks in her hair and that was only if the colours were in fashion at the time, within about half an hour Sam's long blonde hair was now deep purple and up in knots. Satisfied with her work Sam went to bed but left her door locked so that Alex wouldn't see her until they got to school. Whilst drifting off to sleep Sam couldn't help but think with a smile "those Gaga's want a freak? Well I'll give 'em one"
