Well, anyway, please read and enjoy-and I think you will because in this chapter Sam starts getting jealous.
True to Your Heart
Chapter 2- Heartrending Jealousy
Act 1: Paulina's Plan
Sam sat on her chair with her hands over her cheeks. Her eyes gave a sense of irritation as she watched the time pass. She took her pencil and started tapping her desk impatiently waiting for the bell. "Come on, only 5 more minutes till lunch" she thought to herself. She glanced at Paulina then Danny and rolled her eyes annoyingly and stuck out her tongue. "I really don't want to be here" she uttered. Then the bell rang, dismissing the class. Sam immediately stood up and rushed out of the class and headed straight for the bathroom.
Tucker's eyes followed the pace of Sam's movement. "Hey Sam, where you going in such a rush?" he called.
"I'll meet you at lunch" Sam replied.
Before Tucker could reply, Sam ran out. He looked at her blankly. "That was weird" he thought to himself. "Could Sam be upset over this?" Tucker asked. He looked at Danny who grinned happily as he walked towards Tucker. It seemed that nothing could ruin his day. "You seem happy" Tucker announced.
Danny nodded his head excitedly. "More than ever! This is my chance to talk and be with Paulina!" he said dreamily. Paulina saw Danny staring at her and waved sweetly at him.
Tucker looked at his friend oddly. "Uh Danny, we should be going to lunch by now" he reminded his friend but Danny paid no attention. His blue cerulean eyes seemed to wonder in space, as he stared at Paulina admiring her beauty. He examined her long black hair, with her pink shirt and blue capri and her perfect body that every boy wanted in a girl. Tucker waved his hands in Danny's face but Danny remained ignorant. "Danny wake up! Hello?" Tucker shouted. Danny smiled back, waving lethargically at Paulina, as if she was the only one in the room. Paulina walked over to Danny, shoving Tucker away.
"Hey Romeo. Can you sit with me at lunch so we can practice our lines?" she asked in a adorable way that it was difficult for Danny to refuse the offer.
Danny plainly nodded his head. "Sure" he leisurely responded still looking at Paulina.
"Ok, I'll see you then, bye" Paulina waved.
"Danny!" Tucker scowled. "Did you forget that you always sit with me and Sam during lunch?"
"Huh?" Danny snapped into reality. "Oh, yeah-yeah right um...not today. I need to practice my lines with Paulina" he grinned as he said those words. He turned his head from left to right. "Hey, where's Sam anyway?" suddenly noticing that his other friend was gone.
"You actually noticed" Tucker grumbled. "Did you see how she looked when Mr. Lancer announced the parts?"
"Yeah, I guess" Danny unsubtly replied.
Tucker gave a disappointing sigh. "For a ghost, you sure can't see through a girl's heart" he remarked and left the classroom leaving a bewildered Danny.
Meanwhile, Sam was in the bathroom sitting at the toilet seat cover. Her hands covered her face, as she sobbed quietly. She lifted her face and took a tissue and blew her nose vigorously. "This is stupid" she mumbled. "Why on earth am I crying?" she thought for a moment. "Stupid Paulina...always thinking that she's the most pretty girl in the world" Sam scuffed. "I don't even care what she says-but am I crying?" she breathed. "Stupid Danny, it's because of him. If only I didn't like him then...grrrrr" she squealed. "Why am I crying?"
Just then the door opened and Sam heard someone speaking, immediately knowing whose voice it came from. "Paulina" she whispered. Sam crouched her legs so no one would notice that she was there.
"Ha ha" Paulina laughed as she swayed her hair. "That Danny is so gullible. He thinks that I like him just because I got the part of Juliet" she smacked her lips together as she put on lip gloss.
"Poor Sam" another girl spoke.
"That Gothic freak actually thinks that she could get the part of Juliet-she's not even pretty!" Paulina teased.
"I seriously have no idea what Danny sees in her" a girl remarked.
"Eww. I don't even like Danny, he's so not my type. I can't even believe he got the part of Romeo and I'm going to have to kiss him" Paulina quivered. She stuck her tongue out in disgust. "But once I do kiss him, he'll dump his girlfriend and go for me. I just love it when boys are all over me. I'm just too beautiful" she commented herself. With a last touch, Paulina puffed up her hair and left the bathroom. However, Sam heard every word that Paulina said that made her even furious.
"She's just using Danny. I have to tell him before Paulina brakes his heart"
Act 2: A Misunderstanding
Tucker waited in line for lunch. He gave a deep sigh, thinking that he might be eating alone. He took his tray and awaited to be served. He licked his lips with hunger as he looked at the delicious food. "Ummm...macaroni and cheese" he sniffed the wonderful scent. He sat down on the table but Sam came running towards him.
"What took you so long?" Tucker impatiently asked.
"I was in the bathroom"
Tucker twitched his mouth in disgust. "I'm eating here"
Sam rolled her eyes. "Not that! I was in there because-well that's not important right now, but anyway I heard Paulina talking and she's planning something against Danny!"
"Are you sure you heard correctly?"
Sam nodded. "Yeah, I heard everything. Paulina is just using Danny, because she thinks that Danny and me are together, so she's planning to kiss Danny and make him love her! That's when Paulina says she has no feelings for him and in the end Danny will have a broken heart!"
Tucker chewed the macaroni, and stared at Sam. He swallowed the food before talking. "Aren't you a bit exaggerating?"
"What are you talking about? Danny is going to be crushed!" Sam warned.
"Or...you just don't want to see Danny and Paulina kiss, and then YOU will be the one with the broken heart?"
Sam glared at Tucker. "What is going on inside your head? Danny is my best friend and that's all he will ever think of me"
"So what do you think about him? Tucker questioned.
"Tucker!" Sam shouted.
"Ok, ok, ok, calm down. He's sitting right there next to Paulina" Tucker pointed with his fork. "If you think that Paulina will do something, go ahead and warn Danny yourself"
Sam watched as Danny and Paulina laughed and giggled with one another. She gave a deep sigh and walked towards their table.
Danny saw Sam and waved at her. "Hey Sam, I've been looking for you"
Paulina looked at Sam, and rolled her eyes like she didn't want Sam to be near her. "Danny is busy"
Sam ignored Paulina. "Danny, can I talk to you?"
"Sure" Danny replied. "Um can you wait just for a sec Paulina?"
Danny walked towards Sam and took his hand. She pulled Danny to the foot ball field so they could be alone.
"What's the matter?" Danny asked in concern as he stared at Sam who held his hand firmly.
Sam blushed red and let go of Danny's hand. She giggled nervously. "He he sorry about that" she mumbled. Danny looked down at her with his warm eyes. Sam always admired Danny's blue colored eyes. Once she looked at them, she fell immediately in love. She also adored his smooth face and sweet smile that she longed to caress them and see how it would feel to have her cheeks against his. She loved it when his black hair danced along with the wind. It just made him so attracting. How could anyone say that Danny wasn't their type? Danny is a boy that any girl would want, and a boy that any girl could easily love. He was so caring, and sweet that Sam wanted him for herself. He was so close to her, yet whenever she wanted to hug him, hold him in her arms, he seemed so far away. Why? That question always repeats in her mind. She wanted to yell and shout that she loved him, but she couldn't find the courage. Her heart aches whenever Paulina thought that she could use Danny. It made Sam so furious to see someone she cared for get hurt. Paulina was just a self-caring, ignorant, slutty, cold hearted, non loving who thinks that she's the best, useless, bratty, stupid, non worthy of Danny's time kind of girl who doesn't deserve to be Juliet because Juliet was a loving girl who cares for her spouse and Paulina isn't perfect for that part, but SHE is-Sam's perfect for being Juliet.
"Sam?" Danny called awaking her from her day dream. "Is something wrong?"
Sam wanted to shout it out to Danny and tell him that she should get the part of Juliet but what would Danny think? "Yes!" she blurted. "Paulina is using you!"
Danny looked at Sam awkwardly. "You're lying. Why would Paulina do that?"
Sam jumped back in shock. "Me? Lying! I never once lied to you! Danny don't you see that Paulina doesn't like you? I heard her say it herself!"
Danny clenched his fist together. "It's none of your business! If I like a girl, you have no right to butt in and tell me if she doesn't feel the same way. If Paulina doesn't like me, than she will tell me"
"She doesn't want to! She thinks you and I are together so she is trying to brake us apart!" Sam argued.
"Is that it?" Danny raised his voice. "Are you jealous that I'm spending time with Paulina?"
"No! Why would I get jealous? I don't even like you!" Sam accidentally said.
Danny's eyes widened in shock. He seemed offended from Sam's words. "I thought you would be happy for me Sam, that a girl I like could like me back, but I guess I'm wrong" Danny muttered. He turned his back at Sam and started walking away.
