Chapter 4 - Thursday Night
"It's not a date Daniel"
Daniel laid on Jack's bed flicking through some comics.
"Sure it is. Why would she arrange it so late if it wasn't a date?"
"Could have something to do with the fact she has cheerleading practise"
"I still reckon it's a date"
Jack picked up a magazine and chucked it at Daniel
(Locker Room)
"It's not a date Janet"
"Yes it is"
"No, it's not. He's my bio partner and we were assigned."
"Yeah, whatever"
Sam applied her blushed and smiled.
"Anyway what about you and Daniel?"
"What about me and Daniel?"
"Well if you think that me and Jack are on a date then you two are for certain on a date."
(Jack's Room)
"We are not on a date"
Jack smiled.
"Daniel and Janet sitting in a tree doing what they shouldn't be. First comes love.."
"Jack"
"Then comes sex"
"Jack!"
"The comes the baby in the BMX"
"JACK!"
(Sam's car)
"Janet and Daniel sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g.."
"I so want to hurt you right now"
"See it does get annoying after a while"
Sam pulled up outside Janet's house.
"Have fun"
"You to"
"Oh and Sam"
"Yeah?"
"Don't forget to use protection"
Sam laughed and chucked Janet's bag at her.
"You better get inside before I run you over"
(Jack's house)
Jack and Daniel walked down the stairs.
"Say thanks to your mum for making me tea"
"Anytime. She loves to cook"
Daniel opened the door.
"See you tomorrow Jack"
"Bye Daniel."
(Sam's bedroom)
Sam starred at herself in the mirror. She was dressed casually in jeans and pastel green tanktop.
"This just won't do"
Sam looked at the clock she had almost 2 hours to get ready. She walked over to her cupboard and opened it.
"Right"
(Jack's bedroom)
Jack starred in his cupboard. He wanted to be casual but yet oh so sexy. he picked up a shirt.
"Nah"
He picked up a yellow shirt.
"Who the hell bought me this?"
Jack heard scratching coming from outside his door. Jack walked over to his door and opened it. A giant St. Bernard walked in and instantly jumped on Jack's bed.
"Hi Barney"
Jack watched as Barney's big brown eye's fixed on him
"I bet you don't have this problem of deciding what to wear."
Jack sat next to Barney on the bed. Barney gave him a big lick but instantly screwed his nose up.
"What? I don't smell the bad"
Jack smelt under his pits.
"Ok i need to shower. You stay here and don't chew my clothes"
(Sam's house)
Sam walked out of the bathroom only to be faced with an unimpressed looking Mark.
"What?"
"How long does it take for you to shower?"
"Alot longer than guys"
Sam walked into her bedroom and slammed the door shut. She then locked it with the key. Sam walked over to her bed and looked at all the clothes which were sprawled out over her bed.
(Jack's bedroom)
"What do you think?"
Barney scrunched his nose up for the tenth time.
"This is so hard"
Daniel words played in his mind.
'it's a date'
He had argued with Daniel it wasn't a date yet he was wearing expensive aftershave, taking time with his appearance.
"It's not a date"
He repeated himself to Barney tonnes of times.
(Sam's bedroom)
Sam looked at herself for the 3rd time in the mirror. Dressed in leather pants with a black vest top.
"Ok."
Sam unlocked her door and walked out.
"Whoa whoa whoa"
Sam turned around and looked at her brother.
"What?"
"Why are you in leather pants?"
"Mark i've worn leather pants twice this week. It's no big deal"
"Excuse me this is a big deal when my baby sister has a boy coming round and im going out."
"Don't worry we've been told everything about sex in school"
"That better be a joke"
Sam smiled and walked downstairs
"Samantha!"
"Where's the dog?"
"In the garden"
"Mark it's freezing out there. She'll get a cold"
Sam walked out into the back to let the dog in. There was a knock on the frontdoor. Mark sighed and opened it.
"Yeah?"
"Im Jack"
Mark looked at him.
"and?"
"Sam's expecting me"
"Mark, who's at the do..."
Sam walked out from the back and stopped dead in her tracks. She took a few moments to acknowledge the way Jack looked. He was dressed in light jeans with a blue shirt which had a white t-shirt underneath.
"Jack come in"
Jack looked at Mark who stepped out of the way.
"Hi Sam. You look hot very hot"
Sam blushed. Mark grabbed his jacket and starred at the two teens for a while.
"Ok kids im off."
Mark took Sam aside.
"I've left the number of the club next to the phone if he tries anything funny ring me"
"Mark he's not like that"
"Im just saying."
"Yes and i know how much you love me now get lost"
Mark kissed Sam on the cheek and walked out.
"Let's go through to the livingroom"
Jack nodded and followed Sam through. A dog wrapped itself around his legs.
"She is beautiful. Is she yours?"
"Yes."
"What's her name?"
"Libby"
Jack knelt down on the floor and started caressing her ears.
"Labradors are so beautiful. I've got a St.Bernard"
Sam smiled.
"he or she?"
"He. His name's Barney"
Sam got her folders out of the draw.
"We'll have to walk them together one weekend."
"Me and Libby would like that"
Jack smiled.
"So would me and Barney"
(3 hours later)
"anyway me and Daniel was playing in the sandpit and Janet came over. He got so nervous he wet himself"
Jack broke down laughing.
"Poor Danny boy."
"Do you want another drink?"
"Sure"
Sam walked out to the kitchen.
"So Jack, tell me about you"
"What do you want to know?"
Sam reappeared with two cans of coke.
"Oh i don't know. Is there a girl you left behind back at home?"
Sam handed him the coke and sat next to him.
"Actually yes"
"Yes? Tell me about her"
"Her names Anise. Apparently she fell in love with me but i just didn't feel the same"
Sam silently muttered 'oh'
"What about you? Have you always been dating Graham?"
Sam shook her head.
"We've been on and off. But in our brakes i dated one of Mark's friends who was a physco."
"How come?"
"He beat me up a couple of times"
Sam winced as she remembered the bruises.
"How old were you?"
"15 almost 16"
"What happened?"
"Mark and his mates went and gave him a good hiding"
Sam smiled.
"What you smiling at?"
"A bunch of airforce officers came around. they were friends of Jonus came round to give Mark a hiding. My dad answered the door and they practically shited themselves."
"Priceless"
Sam and Jack smiled. Sam got up and chucked her can in the bin. She tripped over Jack.
"Im sorry"
"It's alright"
Neither of them made the effort to move. Their eyes locked on each others. Jack leaned in for a kiss and Sam let him.
"I cant do this"
"You can"
"No. It's wrong"
Sam got up and walked by the door.
"I think you should go"
"Sam.."
"Please"
Jack's eyes were stinging with hurt as he grabbed his jacket and walked out. Sam's body collapsed in a state of tears as soon as the door slammed shut.
"It's not a date Daniel"
Daniel laid on Jack's bed flicking through some comics.
"Sure it is. Why would she arrange it so late if it wasn't a date?"
"Could have something to do with the fact she has cheerleading practise"
